ma. CASSIDY WILL PLEASE
AnSU Es4.

Some weeks ago Dir. Cassidy,
Democratic nominee for Congress,
told the editor of the APPEAL that
he WAS for protection. Wiring 10
be lair to the gentleman the APPEAL
published this statement as some
thing in Cassldy's faver.
Since then We have seen the
printed report in the Congressional
Record OF the vote on the Morrison
Bill. and 10! the name OF Cassidy
of Nevada is among the list OF Dem-
Gratis who voted for the bill.
The bill reduced the tariff on ev-
ery,hing 20 per cent, and placed
some articles on the free list. 1t
vas q clean Get Free Trade bill,
and after the vote Mr.. Cassidy used
some very strong language in ex-
pressing his disgust of those Demo-
Gratis who "fell down and declined
to vote for it,"
This indicates to us that Mr.
Cassidy is a Protictionist for this
campaign only, and will be a Free
Trader along with his party ii he
should succeed in being returned to
Congress
In fact. we're he not Free
Trader in Congress he would be an
of OK with his party, and OF little
influence.
These are the reasons Why Cas-
sidy should not he sent to Congress.
Bartine. when elected. will be q
strong Protectionists, and in accorr
with majpritv Of Congress. I'm
der these favorable circumstances
he will he in splendid position 10
help his own State.

a.. Right y anne.

The London Times, having let
ter from President Cleveland IN ITS
possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorlally says: at won q
hardly be- possible to pat the Free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments when
Cleveland uses are those which
Cable used TO employ forty-tive
years ago, and which any English
Free Trader wonld employ now,
They are purely Free Trade argu'
meats, and as su-h We are glad te
see Cleveland using them, though
sorry for the popular iniatuatlor
which makes it dangerous to give
them their right name"
