WEALTH AND POWER MOVING sournwAnD.
Far from 1t. But In tho na,na Of Justice
lot US demand that II manufacturers arc
protected, tho raw material shall lavo
equal protection. A protective tariff has
made tho East wealthy aud powerful at
the expense OF the South and West. That
wealth ana power under this same tariff Is
about to be transferred to the South md
West: More particularly to the South. and
hero Is comm. both the Eastern and for.
cign capital. To take the duty from the
raw material and protect the 1nanu{aetus.
ors Is to send this capital back, il to blast
the great harvest OF wealth and power now
ripeninS fora wrongsd and much abused,
but great and generous people. This tho
Morrison tariff bill, this tho bal faith Of
New York Democrats, and tho Now York
press in particular, this tho caiolod. but
dciuded Southern, politicians, this many
Western Democrats, especially from tho
potato states, arc preparing to DO, and this
! we shy they shall not do. Tho Bceptor il
about to so into the hands OF tho valley Of
tho Mississippi aud into tho Keeping OF tho
southern States. Let them have 1t, and
they, shall have it. A great and wealthy
South and West will mako New York CITY
still greater Her press aud politicians
have not tho stretch and compass OF mind
to see it. We will teach them. Yhov

WHAT CLEVELAND WOULD no.
Without cnlargin. say cnphat;colly I
believe Mr.. Cleveland would ,so ali his
moral influence and that OF his cabinet and
surroundings to force this Morrison tariff
Law ana It's radical sweeping changes On
tho country, and know Mr.. Blaine will
use al his power and influence tho other
why for judicious, cautious and not
sweeping changc. AS for tho tariff plank
in tho platforms of tho two great
parties, the Republican (Whicj nlat}orm
is directly opposed to Mr.. Nlorrison's tariff
bill and its It's free ra,c material policy;
while tho Democratic platform manifest
ly cyndes the issue, and il drawn with so
much skill as to admit of.no certnin and
definite construction. But its preamble
cites our policy IN ta.ring The ran material "a
,tn,rise, thus warning tho thinking OF its
true purposes. The Subject is OF too much
Importance for evasion in any form. An
evasiyc platform besets md Should becet
distrust. The votes of Tho Dcmocr,,tic
congressman, last winter however werr
not evasivc, but quite the contrary Thev
voted for and urged tho Morrison thrift bill
with zeal, power and ability. smrrin"
that We should have coal. iron Wool
sugar, tobacco, &c..-raw material free al
duty and that free raw material w,nlI in.
crease our manufacturers. &C.; nnI 90 il
would increase them on our seaboard, but
it would Mt the same time greatly inirrc or
destroy them Inn Sp,t1, p,yI N,.t NJ
