saesaanx Thear Money RACK.

wEDnESDAY AUGUST 5, 1885.
Gaetsing Their Money Rack.
1t was charged, during the late Presi-
Dental campaign that English money
aided the election Of President Cleve-
land, but the charge was denied by the
Democrats with the utmost vehemence.
An argument to su uostantiate the charge
was that the Democratic platform was
non-committal on the question OF pro-
tection, that the large majority OF its
leaders were free traders, and that free
trade was openly advocated In sections
Of the country whose constituencies
were found in favor Of free trade.
Conf ointly and as If In understood CO.
operation with this movement, the
British press almost without exception
favored the election OF Cleveland more
than all, because he WAS the candidate
Of the party in favor of free trade. This
much, we will venture to say, will not
be denied by the Democratic press. II
further proof were wanted OF the sym
pathy that existed between English
free traders and the Democratic party,
We have it In tue Mug wump movement

whose interests were with the free
traders.
The Mugwump press, the Democratic
press and the English press were in
one accord in favor Of free trade. Under
these circumstances none need wonder
that the charge was made that the
British free traders were aiding the
Democrats with campaign funds. In
deed, it might be thought more strange
if British free traders did not contribute
literally Ia a case where they had 80
much at stake
But the charge, as we have already
said, was indignantly denied by Demo-
cratic speakers sad papers, and the Re
publicans said, ''Tnry we'll, time will

Tais the country has il abundance. -
Simultaneous with the eleodGu ofCleve-
land, and further with his inaus uration,
c,me q staguation Of business, which
has actually increased up to the pres.> nj
time. The largest manufacturers Ia
tn, country suspended business, while
others partially suspended, or run their
works on less capital and less labor,
thereby throwing thousands o. men ou'
o employ yment. This disarrangemen'
o. business has continued and actually
4 creased, which is all to the ad vantage
OF the English manufacturers, who art
a,ousea OF s,,.-e noe-""v -"..s 70 tae Demo

Ii the charge.
When the goods purchased in q dea
are delivered, no further proof Is needle
OF the purchase. The administratio

che goods. The first batch delivere
WIS the carrying Of the mail from Sa
Francisco to Australia.
The Republican administration ar
propriated $500, 600 to the Pacific Ma
Steamship Company, to enable 1t
carry the mail between these tw
points without loss, and for the pu
20 70 Of encouraging and building I
. trade between the two countries. Th

competitor as England with her su

Heretofore, the English Governm
has sent Its mails to Australia by '

The withdrawal Of the Ameri'
