VOICE or The BRITISH PRESS.
Showing How the English Free Traders
Interpret the Democratic Policy.

London Times That import duties
stiae production and limit the area Of a
country's markets is purely free trade
argument. AS such we are glad to see
President Cleveland using them, though
we are sorry for the popular infatuation
which makes 1t dangerous TO give them
their right name.
Saturday RcCjcuc They THE Presi-
dent and the Democratic leaders, have,
from whatever motive, resolved to adopt
a free trade policy. Nothing can be
more explicit than the Presidents Ian
guage
Haddington Courier: We may look to
an impetus being given TO our home
trade that will so far to make up for the
depression of late years.
london Globe: Mr.. Cleveland has ia
ken his stand on free trade
And on that broad question Mr.. Cleve-
lands candidature naturally aud neces-
sarily carries English sympathy.
London Standard TO American ears
the whole message Mr.. CleveIand'sI
must be redolent Of CObdenism in a
slightly modified form. The governing
issue of the contest will lie between pro-
lection and free trade.
London NeiCS: The electoral conflict
now in progress is conflict between
free trade and protection, and nothing
less The stone now set rolling will not
stop until it has broken the idol of pro
tecuon to pieces
The Scotsman: Ii once the United
States finds herself on the road TO free
trade she viii hardly know where TO
stop.
London Times: The tariff can not be
reduced to the strict proportions Of q
revenue corresponding TO the limited
and diminished necessities Of the Federal
Government without admitting q great
flood Of foreign competition.
London Standard: The only reform
that common sense can accept IS one
which unaGectedly substitutes the prin-
ciple Of uniIpeded imports for that Of
tariff regulations.
London Saturday RerielC: lie and

leaders have taken up again the old free
trade policy Of the South Carolina poll

day had long talk with his whilom
faithful heuchmsn, Bill Leeds, who stood
by him IN the troublous times of his in
dictmens and trial in Harrisburg for
frauds In the elections of Pennsylvenis.
Leeds vas o0ca dangerous man, but
he Is only acquainted with obsolete
methods Snd Wit be so closely watched
that here h Will be harmless. A letter
from s Phladei phiau converssnt with
Leeds and his wa of working was re-
ceived yesterday "a democratic national

touching Leeds Is an extract: ''Neither
Leeds nor any of his Ike can be very
formidable when the situation is not fay-
orabie for operations. Witness Leeds
defeat last fall, although seven or
eight thousand democratic votes were
promised him. would tell
you how those gentlemen earned rep
utations which they are really not entitled
to, only different state of affairs now
exists. All elements of the democracy
are now evidently making an earnl st eff
fort to carry this naturally democratic
state. There has been for fifteen years
$4,000 republican majority on fair
canvass. There is such an awakening
hers as will astonish people. Lsais
may be gettiog out of the way so
that the blame for what Is com-
ing will not rest upon him. There is ont
One hope for the republicans, and thu is
but slim One-the Intimidation of en-
psoyes into voting against their couyic-
tions. The working people seem to be
thoroughly in earnest. They fully resliza
on which side the interest of humanity is.
Leeds is not dangerous. Half a dozen
political strikers in New York could ab-
sorb all the fat rendered by this city of
tariff pamperlng."
Boss Quay would vouchsafe no in
formation as to the object of his confer
ehce with Leeds, nor would he consent 10
say word about the rumor that the re-
publican state committee Of Massa-
chussett5 had depicted its treasury by
sending 100000 TO the national commit
tee in New York. 4 gentleman in the
corridor of the Fifth avenue hotel, who
was not So tougue-tied as the boss, said
he did no believe it, though he acknowl-
edged that much smaller contribution
than was demanded came from the old
Ba5 state.
gentleman not usually wrong says
that Qaay's latest idea is to capture the
prohibition vote in New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and Indiana for Harri-
son, aua that how the thirg was to be
engineered made the subject OF his long
talk with Leeds.

WASHINGTON.

The Senate has voted to adjourn the
session Saturday, Oot. 20. The House has
concurled.
COLONEL RUFUS SAxToN, Assistant Quar-
termastet General, was placed on the re-
tired list.
The president has approved the act
granting the Duluth and Winnipeg rail-
road in the right of way through the
Fond du Lac reservation in Minnesota.
TIE republican and democratic clerks
in the departments at Washington have
paired off, thus saving the trouble a Id
expense of going home to vote.
THE President approved the act author
izing the President to appoint Alfred
Pleasanton a Major in the army and
placing him on the retired list with that
rank and grade.
2 WAsBINGToN.-The president has ap-
proved the acts making aPprOpTla-
tions for the enforcement OF the Chinese
exclusion act; the act to secure Cherokee
freedmen and others their property or
certain proceeds OF lands; en- act III re-
gard to the time for the meeting OF the
electors.
THE treasury department has made the
ruling that if importers, at the approach
of the holiday trade, import goods IN
coverings wbieh are marifestly designed
for use otherwise than in the bona fde
trans portation of goods to the United
States, they should be assessed at the rate
of 100 per cent. ad valorem.
WAsHINGToN.-Tho clerks il the depart
ments here are putting the practice Of
pairing, employed in congress TO a novel
use. 1t Is said that many clerks Of re
publican persuasion who feel that they
cannot afford to go home to vote are
pairing off with democratic clerks from
their states who likewise are pecuniarily
embarrassed. By this arrangement the
relative standing of the two parties is left
unchanged and the clerks save money.
