The Free Trade Bugaboo.

A prominent business man OF New York
hits the nail on the head, when he said:
"Some Of our merchants thought that if
Cleveland were elected it would be hard
blow at them, but they are coming back to
their senses and beginning to see their
mistake. All this bugaboo about the tariff
amounts to nothing. For my part think
business wou have remained Just about
the same no matter who WAS elected. They
talk about the republicans fostering our
manufacturing industries. That is all well
and gooi. Give them all the credit they
want for it. But do you think that we bus
mess men are such asses as to believe the
talk about democratic success beng euui-
valent to commercial disaster. I believe
that more cotton will go to the N, " Eug-
gland mills from the south during the
coming year than ever before, and after the
novelty OF the change has worn of, there
will be general feeling of confidence 10
business circles; the fear OF change which
always sctuate the timid and which has
operated in the interest Of the republican
party so long, will result to the advantage
of the democratic administration, which, if
good, will, no doubt, be continued for q
long time. For my part, l expect to see
the government of the country in the hands
of the democrats for at least dozen wears.
Now, with this feeling of confidence will
come loosening of the money. Invest.
ments will flourish, and there will be a
stronger spirit of commercial activity. As
il 10 now, every man is holding on to his
money, afraid to put 1t out. In few
months you will see change"
