Needless Alarm.
Under this heading the New York World
wives 10 its bright city contemporary some
good advice. We quote:
"Our amiable contemporary the SIN Is,
we fear, oyer-sensitive on the question OF
Protection Because single Free
Trader is found in the Democratic party
who happens 10 rejoice over the defeat Of
the Sua's candidate for Speaker. Mr.. SAM
uel J. Randall, the Sun is almost hopeless
of Democratic success.
.Mr. Henry Watterson Is bright se:.-
xafioBsiisi, but can scarcely be regarded as
a REPRESENTATIVE OF sound Democratic
Judgment and principles. The Democratic
party has defined It's policy TO be economy
IN public expenditures and a tarif which
shall give every reasonable protection TO
American industries which Is consistent
with honest taxation for Government pur-
poses. ON this platform Ohio was carried.
On this platform Speaker Carlisle FASTENED
to place himself immediately after his
election. On this platform he was support
ed by The majority Of representatives who
gave him their votes"
The World has from the day OF Mr.. CAR
r.IJ.E's election as speaker until now been
consistent In maintaining the truth OF the
main proposition contained in the para
graphs quoted above. The Democratic
State Convention Of Ohio, then that OF
Virginia, and lastly, that Of Pennsylvania,
all saw that Il was absolutely indispensa-
bic 10 size success Of the Democrats in the
presidential election OF next year, that that
party should discard all antiquated creeds
and anic-bcllum arguments on the subject
Of protection 10 American industries, ana
align Itself with the sentiment which has
tsken possession Of the people since the
close OF the war between the States.
We are glad. too, TO have in New York
journal which has the good sense to know
that MIR. WATTEGSON is an unsafe counsel
ior. Faithfully does the World character
izc him n 90 bright sensationalist and
rs man who ''can scarcely be regarded as
a reHeseniati,e of sound Democratic iudg-
ment and principles" Mr.. WATTERsoN
has committed himself so thoroughly to
free-tgade theories that he would rather see
fhc Democratic party defeated in 1884. as 1t
WAS defeated IN 1880, as consequence OF
Incorporating bis theories into the national
Democratic platform, than successful as
a consequence OF Incorporating into
thai platform the teachings OF the
Democrats OF Ohio, Virginia, and
PENNSYLVANIA. The New York Sun,
on The other hand, represents the
RANDALL extremists, and would rather the
Democrats should BE- defeated next year
than that the anti-Randallites should die
tate its policy on the subject OF the tariff.
Both DANA and WATTERsoN are unsafe
councillors. Lei us send to the Demo
cratic National Convention not such men,
SHu men WHO, whilst having their own
opinion and daring to maintain it. are
nevertheless ready to concede that there
are two sides TO even the tariff question,
and that possibly all political wisdom. or
po!itico-oconomical science, will not disap-
pear from the earth when they die.
