THE TROUBLE WITH THAT JURY.

"What's the trouble 7" said the Judge to
the foreman of disagreeing jury. wen,
replied the foreman, =" the trouble is just here
"Six of us are on one side, four of us are on
"the other, one of us is on both sides, and one
Z" of us won't vote"
1t was not what might be called homo
geneous jury. But it certainly came as near
achieving unanimity as the Democratic party
has yet come in its deliberations upon the
tariff question. Let us see into how many
pieces the tariff has split the Democracy. One
element flies the banner of Free Trade, declar-
ing that that is the only true Democratic doc
trine second demands " a tariff for revenue
ONLY" but argues that there is an appreciate
difference between such a plank and free
trade. A third, the Southern branch OF the
party, favors a protective policy. A fourth Is
on both sdes-shouting for free trade with
incidental" protection. A fifth declines to
vote, prefcrring to sit with Mr.. Randall upon
the fence. A sixth, with headquarters on
Governors Island, will have it that the tariff
is merely local ISSUE A seventh Contents
itself with asserting that the coming Democratic
Congress will miss it if it NEEDLES with the
revision of the tariff accomplished by the last
Congress. An eighth simply remarks that the
coming Democratic Congress owes it to the
party to revise the tariff revision OF the last
Congress. ninth is for free trade in theory,
but agrees with Carter Harrison at the lroquois
banquet that "you cannot bring on change
of that sort when country is prosperous"
A TENTH adopting the convenient policy OF Mr..
Podsnap in regard to all dsagreeable or en-
barrassng things, waves the tariff behind Its
back.
A minority of these elements will doubtless
be represented in the Democratic National
Convention of next year And all the elements
represented will doubtless insist upon naming
a member of the Platform Committee. What
will be the RESULT II the committee was
body in the nature of a jury it would not be
difficult to conjecture. The committee would
report to the convention that it was unable to
agree on a tariff plank, the chairman ex-
planning, "Some of us are for free trade,
"some for protection, some are on bnth sides,
"and some won't VOTE But since the COM
mittee will he committed to agreeing upon
something, the tariff plank should be the best
specimen of the use of language to conceal
ideas that was ever manufactured upon

wheat will probably exceed 440,000,O0O
bushels, which, with the large surplus, will
leave the country better prepared to meet home
and foreign demands than it was last year with
o larger crop but no surplus. The prospect as
to other crops is generally good, though some
anxiety about cotton in Alabama is mentioned
in dispatches In spite of arrangements to
restrict production, the output of anthracite
coal thus far this year exceeds by about 10 per
cent that of the first halt Of any previous year.
The closing of the steel works at Bethlehem,
Penn, appears to be Immediately due to
a controversy between employers and men, not
about wages, but it may be presumed that it
would not have occurred for any cause If the
state of the iron and steel trade had been salts
factory. Still, definite improvement in that
branch Of business is reported. The decision
that whiskey cannot be exported as means OF
evading the payment Of the tax has made dis"
tllers and traders rather gloomy, and it is
likely that all the vicious consequences of the
extension OF time for payment have not yet
been felt But in most branches OF industry
ndltrade, the condition of the country is sound
aud the feeling hopeful.

A GIETED PROPHET.


Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky, looms
into the public eye as the boldest political
prophet of this epoch. Most prophets are eau
tious in formulating their visions, and so
fortify themselves with conditional clauses
that no matter what the future may unfold
they are in position to say: SAh, didn't tell
you so 7" There is nothing of CHS timid char
acter about Mr.. Blackburn. " can" he says,
with his glittering eye iixed immOvably upon
the future, name the next Democratic ticket y;
and without pausing even for breath he pro-
ceeds thus to name it: "HOadly is going to
carry OHIO by 10000. That will make him
@the Democratic candidate for President, and
. Cleveland of New-York, will be the Dem
ocratc Vice Presidential nominee The Re-
"publicans will abandon party organization
aand nominate David Davis, and they will not
carry seven States"
That is complete and decisive so far as it
goes We cannot help wishing that the prophet,
before unscrewing his eye from the key
hole of the future, had given us the details O
little more infinitely. 1t would be extremely
interesting to know precisely the majority
which the Hoadly Cleveland combination
would receive, aud also to have the names OF
the less than seven States which David DAVIS
will carry. Why leave us in Ignorance also OF
the man who is to run on the ticket WIN
Davis Perhaps, though, Davis will be con-
sidered q ticket all alone by himself, and we
are not sure but that he would run best alone.
He is a whole party by himself, and i'll his long
and unique public career has not only kept
his party'solid hut has succeeded in keepingl 1t
exclusive, for no recruit has gone to him. 1t
seems to us, looking into the future with an
unprophetic eye, that " less than seven States
was an unnecessarily liberal estimate for Mr..
Blackburn 10 make of the carrying power OF a
Davis ticket. Why not say "less than one
and have done with it OF course ali the Re
publicans may be wrong. Not man OF them
has been proposing the nomination OF Davis,
vet Blackburn says it is torcordained that they
will nominate him. That shows what tre-
mendous prophet Blackburn is.
AS for the Hoadly Cleveland combination,
that strikes Us favorably. There are two slight
obstacles in the way of it, but to IN inspired
prophet these are of small account. In the
first place Hoadly has yet to get his 2o,Ooo
majority. He would doubtless be willing to
COMPROMISE to-day ON 1900 majority and
think himself mighty lucky to get it. In the
second place, Cleveland has another engage
ment. 1t was announced months ago that he
was pledged to act as talpiece for Mcdonald,
and if he breaks that promise Indiana will be
offended and there will be trouble in the land.
Points like these, which look large to ordinary
observers who caLnot help seeing what is
directly under their noses, appear quite insig-
niticant to prophet who is dipping good deal
further into the future than any other human
rye can see. Blackburn strikes us as very
able prophet. He is able to foresee more things
TINT can't possibly come to pass than any other
prophet since Virgins.

JNDISJRJ1L GERMANY.

Mr.. Porter having led the Free-Traders a
merry dance through England, has shifted the
ground Of economic controversy to the Father
land In the series of papers, of which
the opening number will be found on the Sec
,ond page of this issue, he will deal with facts
relating to the wages and general condition of
the working classes in Germany, a country
which reverted few years ago to the system
or Protection after q disastrous interval of
Free Trade. 1t is true that differences of wages
between Free-Trade country like Great Brit
ain and Protection country such as Germany
has become, have only theoretical interest for
Americans. There is only one practical ques-
ton for them to decide for themselves, and
that is the question of labor between the
United States and all Europe. What concerns
American workmen most deeply is that the
barriers imposed by the tariff shall not be
removed prematurely or unwIsely, and their
own labor degraded to a level with the impov
erishment Of European labor. IL is European
laboIsin the mass, under whatever conditions
social, political and economic it may be found,
against which American labor is secured and
protected by high tariff.
This practical question, which Americans
must consider the vital question of this whole
economic controversy, is distinctly recognized
by Mr.. Porter as he enters upon his investiga-
ton of the industrial condition OF Germany.
At the same time he does not hesitate to make
a comparison between the wages paid to the
same classes of workngmen in Free-Tradc
England and Protection Germany. He finds
that the wages of workingmen i'll Germany
have increased from 10 to 20 per cent since
the abandonment of free-trade and that they
are now equal to the wages paid to correspond
ing classes of English workingmen, whereas
under iree-trade they were paid much less.
The general condition Of Germany, he is con-
WINGED, has greatly improved since the adoption
of the high tariff. New factories have been
built, mills and spindles that had stopped
running under free-trade are now III operation
wages have been increased, an impulse has
been given to various manufacturing industries,
and better feeling pervades the Fatherand.
Protection in the course of few years has
brought wages from very low point to a level
with English wages and SO far AS the general
condition OF the working classes in the two
countries Is concerned, Germany occupies bet
