JNCTITJNG WITNESSES.

II is vour turn now, MessrS Democrats You
can insult and harry, as much as you please,
these miserable persons who have been guilty
of building up useful industry in this country.
If they are employers, you can call them rob-
bers. You can sneer to your hearts content at
their speculative folly in supposng that the
National policy, by which they were induced to
invest their money in costly works, would be
permanently maintained Or If they are work
ingmcn you can call them seris, and white
slaves. and wan them not to vote on the same
side with their employers next time. Contempt
for their arguments is to be expected. vi
course you will continue to treat them as II you
believed all their statements lies. 1t Is your
turn now; make the most of it!
Their turn will come in the fall. You Will put
up some candidate who has 10 opinions, or
about whose opinions you can tell as many
falsehoods rs you please. You viii try to pass
Yourselves oil rs the original and only true
friends of American labor. Then you will get
down on your knees to these same employers
and worlmcn. and beg their votes a. hungry
cur begs for bone. 1t will cost you no loss OF
self respect. In Ohio you will promise the old
tariff on wool and woollens. and i'll Massachu-
sctts free wool. In Iowa You will shout for
free fences, and in Wisconsin and Michigan
YOU will rave and rant against free lumber
After eating dirt in this fashion for some
months, you will learn what the employers and
workmen think about it. Then it will be their
turn.
Changing bills will do no good. No bill that
any Democrat has wit enough TO devise can do
the Democratic party az much harm as one

sented somebody. He did not represent mere

ECONOMIC REACTION IN ENGLAND.

| ECONOMIC REACTION IN ENGLAND
Americans ought not to overlook one of the
arguments advanced by English Liberals in
favor of the Government during the recent
crisis in the Commons. The Spectator, having
steadily advocated for seven years a strong
policy in Egyptian affairs, could not consist
emily defend the course of the Ministry. 1t
could assert that the leaders of the Opposition
were illogical in charging the Government with
vacillatiOn, but it was forced to admit that
there had been :" a perfectly mulsh obstinacy
in adheTing to an erroneous conception OF the
facts" A defence which substituted for vacil-
lation consistent adherence to theory that
had been unsOund from the beginning, and was
utterly impracticabe at every stage, was not
calculated 10 aid the Liberal party in escaping
the vote of censure. The attempt was made,
therefore, to whip in the stragglers on grounds
not connected with the Egyptian policy. This
was one of The Spectators appeals to Liberals
to support the Government by opposing the
censure
The return of the Conservatives to power would GER
tainy mean raising of various indefinite but passionate
hopes that the policy of free trade to be abandoned
for policy OF retaiatOry tariffs We do not deny that
Stafford Northcote has carefully avoided committing
himself any policy insane But Lord Salisbury has
declared again ana again tnat inquiry INTO the operation
OF what generally known free trade is only
BILE; Mr. James Lowther has gone in boldly
for protection; Lord Randolph Churchill has
spo zen of system Of free imports with tue
utmost contempt and has declared his belief that the
free-trade policy Is an utter failure and such views
Mr. Ecroyds are widely dised through the Conserva-
tive party. Every knows how maeable Sir Stafford
NOrhcOte has often proved in the hands Of his ahead
followers. And with the smallest political sagac
fly can deny that a change of Government would
lead TO very general hope Of the partial restoration OF
system Of protection 1t would be the first great blow
at the policy of free trade TO restore the Conservatives to
power at the present time.
This cannot be regarded as a special plea in
spired by partisanship. This declaration is made
by journal as conspicuous for its candor and
independence of thought as for its ability and
yigOr. 1t is confession that with the oxcep-
ton of Sir Stafford NOrthcOte the leaders of one
of the great political organizations have lost
faith in the present economic policy of England,
and that the return of the party to power would
be accompanied by a partial restoration of the
system of protection. That these are not cx-
travagant statements can easily be proved by
citations from the speeches and writings Of
Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph Churchill,
and from the election addresses of Mr.. LOwther,
Mr. EcrOyd and other Conservative members.

DANGEROTS DELAY.

The Republicans can accomplish no better
work at Albany than that of providing Tor the
improved government of this city. 1t can only
be done by concentrating their efforts ON lew
worthy measures. There are multitude OF DIS
relating to the subject now before the Leglsla-
ture. No attempt should be made to consider
all of those measures. Only few OF them VIII
effect any decided reform in the city govern
ment. The important bills should be put upon
their passage at once. The minor ones can
wait Bills such as that to lay out park at
Cocnties Slip. or to regulate the height OF build
ings, or to permit uniformed tremen to ride Tree
on elevated railroads, should not be allowed to
take precedence of important reform measures.
If these are allowed to drag along until the last
weeks of the session they will run the risk OF
coming ont in an emasculated form, or OF being
lost altogether.
The good work begun last week in the passage
of the Roosevelt bill to take from the Aldermen a
veto power over the Mayors appointments
should be followed this week by legislation that
| will make the measure one OF practical GOOD at
the beginning Of the new Mayors term. For
that purpose Senator Gibbs's BILL relating to
vacancies that may occur in offices to be iilied
this year by the Mayor and Aldermen, should
be passed. 1t will end on February l, 1850,
the terms of all such new appointments. Mr..
Gibbs's bill making the Controller elective,
which has been introduced in the Assembly in
an amended form, should likewise receive
prompt and favorable consideration. The Civil
Service bill, already ordered to a third reading
! in the Assembly, is of great importance. Those
three measures might well be sent to the
Governor before the close of the week.
They should be followed by others Of similar
character. The Dock Department should be
! placed on the same footing as other branches OF
the city government 1t should go to the
Board of Estimate for its appropriation, and no
! longer be permitted to eXpend $3,OOO,OOO a
year subject to no supervisory power The
Police Department bills should be audited and
maid in the Controllers Office, the same as Is
done in the case of other departments. The
contracting, auditing and paying power should
not be vested in one Board. There is no reason
why this exception should be made for the
Police Department. The work of bringing an
additional supply of water to the city, including
that of the Bronx River, should all be placed il
the hands of the Aqueduct Commission. And
the High License bill might well take prece-
dence of any measures not yet introduced
Energetic work of this kind Will enable the
majority in the Legislature to make record
that will be of immense advantage to the party
and at the same time accomplish great and
lasting public good.
