ENGLAND, WITH which tho trade Of this
country is greater than it is with all the
other foreign countries combined, finding
that there is no present probability of a
change in the high tariff which this country
imposes upon MI English products, is now
seriously contemplating change 10 it's own
revenue system, and, as q retslatory meas
ure, is considering the advisability of i'm
posing high duty upon imports from the
United States. The farmers of this country
have bad enough time, as it is, with an
American tariff that lowers the price of all
they have to buy and raises that of all they
have to sell, but the additional burdens
that would be imposed upon them by the
proposed English tariff on their products
would place them almost in the condition Of
those without hope

THE democrats of this congressional dis.
trict may congratulate themselves upon
having taken enough personal interest in
the fate of their excellent congressional
nominee to 60 to the polls and vote for,
and thereby elect him. If the democrats of
the other districts in the State had taken
the same personal interest in their congress
sional candidates, so many of the latter
would not have been defeated. To refrain
from voting for a democratic congressional
candidate because of dissatisfaction with q
democratic President was by no means
wise, but it was not unnatural.

ONE OF THE few breaks in the clouds that
democracy is the unexpected strength their
party friends in Minnesota have developed.
The farmers of that great agricultural State
have walked up to the fact that they are
sorely and unjustly burdened by the ex

den, they know that the only way by which
th-y can be relieved of it is by means of the
democratic party, one of whose cardinal
principles Is low tariff.

THE PRESIDENTS ORDER,

There are reports in circulation here to
the effect that the Presidents recent order
against obtrusive partlsans is about to dl-
vide the Democrats to a much greater de.
gree than the similar order of President
Hayes. The working Democrats, known
as the Meeganites, are violently opposed
to the new order, and there is no doubt that
1t has helped Gov. Hi In this locality.
Word comes from Washington that Pri-
vate Secretary Lamont has had difference
of opinion with the President, more espe.
cially over this order, ana that not only his
resignation, but other more startling events
may be looked for within few days.
