a Cobdontte's Lament.

AT tho Golden clubs annuel dinner
held in London, last Saturday night, the
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain said,
ave are unable to congratulate ourselves
on any great recent conversion to free
trade principles, but this is to be regretted
more for protectionist countries than for
ourselves" With the: eye Of faith We
may detect tears in Mr.. Chamberlain's
voice as he pointed to philanthropic Bril-
tania preaching her free trade evangel to
hard.hearted world
II free trade would not be better thing
for the nations which now practice protec-
ton, England would not desire them to
have it; for whether it be in China, in In
dia, in Afghanistan, or in the sandy Sou
dan, whatever Englanddoes or attempts is
for the common welfare OF mankind.
When she forced the opium trade upon
the helpless Chinese she was as disinter-
ested as when she set up n propaganda in
the United States to spread through all
the land abroad the triumphs offree trade.
This gospel she breaches through the
pamphlets Of AIongredien and throushthe
hoarse believing Of her canon. Still, q
man Of Mr.. Chamberlain's eminence and
pronounced views is forced to admit, at
the yearly jollifcation Of the cobdenites,
that really there is nothing to jollify
about Tor there Ia not one great conver-
sion TO record.
The nationsof the earth are not moving
in the free trade direction. The trend OF
their policy is steadily in the line Of more
protection. They are willing to let Eng
land enjoy free trade, but for themselves
they are looking more and more to their
own welfare. Not even her own depend
encies are seduced by England's fine pala-
yer. They are SO unappreciative that
they raise the barrier Of protection against

supply is still in fair condition and the

.bo Ohio KeJ.wots.

In tho speech OF Col. j. D. Taylor, tenn
oorary chairman Of the Ohio Republican
Convention, in the platform, and in a
subsequent speech by Judge Foraker be-
fore the Lincoln Club Of Cincinnati, some
thing was said in very pointed way
about tie denial Of the suffrage to large
class Of voters. In the Democratic press
Il IA said that the Republicans Of Ohio
have revived "the bloody shirt and de-
clsred their purpose to tlauntit.
They are enemies to their country who
aopesi to the old prejudices and inaame
the old passions which bathed this land
in blood and tears; who by word or deed
array against each other the sections OF
this country so long arrayed in deadly
strife; who place any obstacle in the way
oflhat complete reunion Of hearts and
hands for which our dead gave their lives
and for which the patriot living feryently
hope.
This is why We thank the Republican,
Of Ohio for the keynote they have sound
cd. This is Why we hope that robustly
American note may ring like the clarfon's
blast through the land until itpenetratet
the remotest cornerand quickens the dead
conscience Of the Nation. This is why nc
honest man can look without shame upon
the national triumph Of the Democracy
for IN spite Of St. John aud the Mug
wumps there could have been no Demo
cratic triumph, il in the far Southern
States the suffrage had not been the basest
and bloodiest Of frauds.
rkWhat do the people Of this county in
tend? They have a written Constitution
It REQUIRES no unusual intelligence to in
terpret that amendment which places the
ballot in the hand Of the colored man. The
firstarticlc of.the Constitution is no more
part Of It than this snendment. What dc
the people intend with regard t.
this Constitution Of ours? Do they
mean that it shall be defed when
ever the strong arc bold enough
to oppyess the more numerous weak
Are they content that the South shall
have in Congress and in the Electoral Col
lego a weight to which It is not entitled
Are they willing that disfranchised
freedman at the South shall give his old
master greater representation in Congress
than wien he was his old masteF'F slave
Are they going to consent forever that .
vote in Mississippi shall count for twice as
much as vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania OF
West Virginia?
This is the light in which the question
presents itself. II the colored men can
not vote, the white men are not to enjoy
representation based on the suppressed
vote. This is an issue which must be
faced at some time, and this lisa better time
than later. live havenot enough Consti-
tuition we will have more. The people
may alter aud amend their Constitution
as often as they please and as they please.
II any element Of law-breakcrs has got
ahead OF the law the law must make haste
to oyertake them. The condition OF the
suffrage in the South is intolerable. The
Republican party must face it and deal
whit, and 1t need make no apologies as
1t goes along.

The New Age speaks in approving terms
of the recent arrest of couple of tramps
in our city, and takes occasion at the same
time to repeat its opinion that the death
Of Sheehan, the tramp, was caused by the
"severe handling" he received at the
hands of the then City Marshal. This
it repeats, though the coroner's jury
which held the inquest upon oheehan S
body declared that he came to his death
bv excessive drinking and exposure. y
and the investigation of Marshal White
which followed exonerated him from the
charge made against him. The course of
the New Age at that time has since borne
fruits, in encouraging lawless characters
to violent resistance to officers of the law,
and increasing the hazard to lite which
officers incur in dealing with Grim
inals. Two officers have been muir
dered the last year in this city and
vicinity, while in the performance OF their
duty-crimes the like of which never oc-
Cured here before. How much Of this is
due to the teachings of the New Age in the
warfare upon ex-City Marshal White, we
cannot of course say; but that such teach
inc tends to produce disregard of law,
disrespect to the officer who attempts to
enforce it. and violence and bloodshed, is
as true as Holy Writ.

The New Year.

I he New Year opens with severe de-
preston OF business, extending to all parts
of the country and most of our leading
industries. Cutting down wages, stop
ping factories and mills. throwing labor
ers out of employment, are common oc-
currences AS the New Year begins. Trade
is feeble and the future prospect not en-
couraging. Not for years has business
dragged as it now does. SO great is the
uncertainty about the outlook that the
forces which are accustomed to set in mo-
ton the wheels of enterprise are dormant,
and when they will resume their wonted
activity none can tell.
This state of things began with the agi-
tation of the tariff question last winter.
The election of Carlisle, an avowed free
trader to the Speakership. at the opening
OF the Forty eighth Congress. caused
timidity and uncertainty in business cir
Giles. The introduction of the Morrison
tariff bill in the House. with the discus
sion, agitation and struggle which fol-
lowed. still farther alarmed the country !;
and though the bill was defeated there was
no recovery from the shock which the ac-
ton of the democratic free traders had
caused. The campaign began with Mr..
Blaine. an avowed protectionist. upon a
a platform favoring protection. lead
inc upon one side, and Mr. Cleve-
land. the candidate of the free trad
ers. upon straddling platform lead
inc upon the other While the canvass
was going on, and there was hope that
Mr.. Blaine's candidacy would be success
full, industrial operations continued,
though not so brisklv and confidently as
before the movement of the free traders in
Congress. But when it was decided that
Cleveland was elected, and that the free
traders had secured President favorable
to their opinions, business wore gloomy
look, industrial operations began to sus-
pend. capitalists closed their pocket books
against appeals for extension of bust
ness, factories shut their doors for indeti-
mite periods. the wages of labor were re-
duced and thousands of workmen dis
charged, and trade dropped in all the
the commercial cities of the land.
Anothercause which added to the gener-
al depression was the unsatisfactory means
by which the democratic candidate was
elected, and the fact that the men who
were the active promoters of the. late
