Does he not work as hard2 Is he

compare with the mansions OF the

and Pittsburgh? Is not the farmer

bounty from the treasury we think

whose labors in opening, developing |
and civiliZing the country are

of the denizens OF our oVergrown
towns. If the steel-rail maker is
entitled to bonus of SIT a ton on
every ton of steel rails, why not pay
50 cents bounty out of the treasury

Boston Herald (Ind.): The Presi-
dents friends attest their friend
ship by denying for him any
ambitious scheming for a second
term. His only chance of being the
nominee lies in his not being can
didate. And his chances for an
election, in the event of compro-
mise nomination, would not be
worth lying awake on nights about
provided, of course, that the
demo Gratis do not Overtop ali their
past monumental blundeTS. The
republicans cannot well win without
some of their old enthusiasm, and
Mr.. Arthur is not the man to,
arouse this. He is doing very well
ON the whole; but it is a proof Of
his sagaeity and his philOs0phic
spirit if his ambition extends no
further than his present term.
Springfield Republican Ind r ep):
Samuel j. Tilden has more political
SagacIty than all the Democratic
party beside, but he has formally
withdrawn his name from consider
alton for tbs presidency and with
drawn to private life, and it is little
less than indecent to pursue him, as
the New York newspapers do, with,
reporters who testify, after an hour
Of vain endeavor to get an opinion.

right hand is less than formerly"
and mis- voice, though not so strong
as when he was governor, was per.
ceptibly stronger than year ago"
Mr.. Tilden WAS once elected PreSi-
dent and cheated out of it; now he
may counsel statesmen, but he has
nothing to gain by confding to re-
porters.
New York Herald: Now that in

try can consume in year, unless
the tariff is so lowered and simpli-
fed as to enable us to export sur

Industries. Protection has led to
overproduction, and depression in

Atlanta Constitution dem: The
conspiracy of the protection mon
opolists to defeat the democratic
party in 1884 proceeds gaily. The
first step is to elect Mr.. Samuel J,
Randall speaker of the next house
by democratic votes. After that
the collapse OF the democratic
campaign is assured. No party car
succeed IN the face of public opin
ion.
Pensacola (Fla) Commercial
| dem j: HOratio Seymour is out fol
a tariff for revenue only. Victorious
or successful, the democrats eanno
sneak through the next campaign
without facing the music. Tn,
people will make the issue whether
the leaders do or not. ~
