The Democratic arlT Plank Next Year.

The Democratic Tariff Plank Next Year.
Notwithstanding all the high sounding
words that have been heard in certain in
huential Democratic quarters in favor oil,
(and not only in favor Of but demanding)
a square issue on the tariff next year, the
present indications are that all the reputed
free trade lights Of the party will take
water whenever the day Of pressure comes.
To such an extent is this probability now
apparent that Colonel Aleck Mcclure, Of
the Philadelphia Times, who is presumed
to discern the signs OF the times with unu-
sual sagacity, predicts that there will not
be "a score OF Democratic Congressman
who, whatever their individual views may
be, will be weak enough to commit the
party to tariff for revenue only in 1884,"
The reasons for so thinking are thus
stated by Colonel Mcclure:
Mr.. Wattersons FREQ Trade Democratic
venture, or "Taritr for revenue only" plat
form, has met with. i'll luck at every turn
both in and out OF the house OF his own
friends. Mcdonald started out with the
first rifle, but Hendricks, Voorhees, and
Holman hedged for incidental protection,
and finally Mcdonald hedged with them.
Carlisle, the original Watterson Free Trade
candidate for Speaker, stood the racket
about as long as he could, and then he
hedged over along with the Indiana states
man; and now there are not score Of
Democratic Congressman who, whatever
their individual views may me, will be
weak enough to attempt to commit the
party to "a Tariff for revenue only" plat
form in 1884.

Sam Randall, as he is Familiarity called at
Washington, will be the Democratic
Speaker OF the next House. He has 100 votes
already, and is sure OF the caucus nomina-
ton. He has theactive influence OF SEN
ator Kenna Of this State and host oil
other Democrats, including the venerable
Tilden, whose heir apparent he is to the
Democratic Presidential nomination. This
does not look much like tariff for revenue
"only" in the next National Democratic
platform. Senator Thurman's man
has Just been beaten in Ohio for
the gubernatorial nomination, and
this puts damper on both his Presiden-
tial aspirations and influence. Pennsylva-
mia is a great state-has 90 votes in the
Electoral College-and her vote will be bid
high for by the next Presidential conven-
ton. II Hancock is deemed unavailable,
Randall will be next in the order Of sue
cession. He will get decided boom il
elected to the Speakership, and hence we
do not see but what he to-day more nearly
resembles the coming man for the Presi-
dental nomination than any one OF the
possibilities who are discussed in that con.
nection.

The latest reports from the West, as re-
spects wheat, corn, oats, grass and potatoes,
are altogether encouraging. Kansas is
coming up unexpectedly almost to an
average in wheat, and the corn is making
up for lost time. An immense acreage oil
it has been planted. The same tenor oil
reports reach US from Missouri. The
Illinois reports for wheat are not so good
but fully as good as respects corn. There
seems to be but little doubt that the wheat
crop OF 1888 will surpass the spring esti-
mates, and reach at least four hundred mil
lion bushels. It is too early to attempt to
fix the corn crop, but during the last few
days the crop writer's at Chicago and other
points have not hesitated to predict large
increase over 1882. As for potatoes, they
all agree that it will probably be the largest
crop ever gathered in the history OF the
country. The growth Of grass is exraordi-
nary in some parts OF the country-so
rank in fact that misgivings are expressed
as 10 its quality.
Take the reports Of the last few days as a
whole and they certainly show good basis
for expecting healthy and active fall

The Gsrman Vole or Ohio.

II is conceded that the result this year
among our Ohio neighbors will turn largely
on the German vote. The German vote
determined the result last year. 1t was
then thrown overwhelmingly for the
Democracy. The same issue is not before
the people Of the State this fall, and there
fore it is an interesting speculation as to
how lar last years issue may still be factor
in the coming result. Upon this point the
New York Republikaner, German, has the

is simply one Of revenue, and the manu-.

are naturally opposed to the imposition OF

Who Makes High Fares.

The people of Pasadena are coming to
their senses in regard to the right of
way of the narrow gauge railway. Here.
tofore the land owners have asked such
exorbitant terms that no railroad could
afford to be built. In other countries
where narrow-gauge roads could be built
for $4,000 per mile, they were made and
did good business, but when the peo-
pie like those at Pasadena want to get
80. 900 per mile for right Of way, it costs
Sl2, 900 per mile to make q track. If a
road is built at cost Of $500, 900 into
the fruit belt. when it might have been
done for 100000, the people OF that
suburb cannot complain at high freiehts
and fares. 1t would be better for the
people of that settlement to give the
right Of way rather than have no road.
II the road should be built at $l2, 900
per mile instead of $4,000, the people
need not complain of double fares and
freight. If they rob the company the
company will get even with them by an
increase Of freights and fares. A few
days will determine the result. 1t is q
good time to be wise.
