 af affairs in ipsncisl centers, even for
 presidential year, IS attributable to th' Democratic party. Its everlasting de- sire 10 tread unknown paths and to ss- sums uu SRrrsntsble positions IS ss hat ursl to the democratic party, as it is fer l suckers to seek their natural elemen and the course Cf the democrats in pu' lie affairs is greatly aggravated by thei gross ignorance of the affairs they Un- dertake to control or direc. Like IL, spoIlt child they are always on tt' ground Tor conquest. They want bal loon, they want a top, they want cspd!, and by the time they get all they want they have a cramp ID the pit of Gn hhG'- uaan that wpuid diges. anything from ten penny nail to free trade messhgt
 They over reach themselves and grove, back ia tbe ssEe blind stste Of igpo- rsuce that tbeJ stumbled forward. H they alone were made to suffer for the XIX enny row they gre slways stirrips up and made 10 reap the rewsrd Of then ignorant usurpation. the people st large ..ould not complain, but they dance around posing as champions of untried erperim nts until they manage 10 upsei the business of Bn entire country snd are apparently overcome with self sd m,rssion at the enormity of the damage done by their brilliant achievements What can be mere satisfactory than th6 unp.rallelled progress of the UDIteo States nader the Republican party What can do more to- a nation than oui protective poiicys We are pointed at to-day by every nation in the world sf the greatest example of progress, hu- msnity has ever seen. There IS not country iu Europe thst is not jealous o' the gigantic strides of the United States and they stand aside and in silent sdmi- ration yield the palm of greatness. Nev- CT in the history of the world, has our country assumed the superiority over nli things as the United States occupies to- day. The same oourse guarantees, from the long experience Of the psst, like period of future progress. But an other coming has occurred a.

What veritsble farce It is f' ' man of the cslihre of Grover Cleve- land to undertake 10 educate the masses, ss against the practical knowledge of 6 life's experience. It IS not 10 be pre- sumed that the Iri-h folloSers of this light of Democracy, will admire his Eng sh tendency.

While it is st present unfortu- uste'y true that the free trade enthusi- ssts can seriously upset the monetary affairs of toe country for the next few months, the people are to be consrs'u- Isted that 6 quietus for all time will be mt ou these would-be eIperinenters in November, and the verdict of the peo- pls will sound with clarion notes when they retire Mir.
