w lille the men VINO are seeking TO break down
the protective policy IN the United States are
destined to encounter opposition and ultimate
defeat, they are not without the announcement
o. good words and hearty urport from tho Eng
lish press and politicians. The reans of ap-
prevail of the Presidents late message were
somewhat hushed by the warning OF the Pail
Mall Gazette ito moderate tho ecstacy of their
jubilation, as every word spoken 10 commenda
ton of the message would be used as a power
full argument against the adoption of its recon-
mendatiors. But repression was longer
possible when the terms Of the St. Louis plat
form aud the denomination OF Mr.. Cleveland
were made known.
The mere fact of this foreign ecstacy is sug-
gestive; but when come to read the terms In
which it fuds expression, and the reasons given
for its existence, patriotic indignation is well.
nigh overwhelmed In amaZement at British ar
rogancs and the truculence OF its American
abettors.
Referring to the shouts of the ST. Louis con-
vention and its waving Of red bandkerchiefs
woven on British looms, the London Star said:
eve may very well re-echo that enthusiasm on
this side OF the water. for the re-seetion of
President Cleveland means the adoption of his
programme of tariff revision, aud his ideas on
that subject 60 n long way towards free trade"
And why this enthusiasm over the prospects
OF fres tradei Here is the answer given by the
London Economist: ION the adoption of free
trade By the United States depends the greater
snare OF English prosperity for a good many
view reiteratss: ave venture 10 that
England will resp the largest share OF the ad-
vantaees that may arise from the adoption of
the ideas now advocated by the free-rrade party
IN the United States
During the recent session of the English La
Dor convention. il was asserted, without con-
tradiction, that England has 200. 900 workmen
out OF employment and numerous mills and
workshops closed. or working on short time. 1t
was further asser ted that relief from this I'M
fortunate condition could be secured in but one
OF two ways: First. assisted emigration; Sec
ond, red ucton OF the United States tariff so as
TO secure free admission OF British manufactures
IA privilege now refused by England's own col
onies-
Neither OF the alternatives here presented are
likely 70 find many sympathizers among Ameri-
can workman who are now called upon TO de-
eide between the English policy Of free trade
and the low wages IL entails, and that policy OF
fostering home industries by which our country
has attained her present enviabls prominence
among the nations Of the sArtk.

principle. This is clearly illustrated in the fact
that the present administration selects men to
fill q majority of the lucrative and responsible
offices who were leaders and advocates OF the
rebellion, leaving war Democrats and Demo
cratic soldiers to glow fat on the suck Of their
thumbs.
Why are Republicans not at the head of the
government to-day7 They have not had the
courage of their CONVICTIONS II Republican
principles were correct twenty-five years ago
they are right to-day, and the way TO show TO
the people that our principle is right 10 to have
man lead rs who fought for il.
The managers of the Democratic party are not
q sot of fools; they recognize the fact that the
soldier element will be a factor in the coming
campaign. and the result Of their convention. In
this State. is q soldier ticket clean-cut, thereby
making q bold effort to hold the soldier who has
acquired the habit OF voting the Democratic
ticket and who is showing sigma Of disgust at
the many pension-veto grists being dumped all
over the country.

Congress has been more uncomfortable than

right.
Porter is good man, and true, but he did
not fight for our principles. and consequently
we will lack that one strong point, in our dis
cussions with the boys who have been voting
with the Democracy, il any man is put at the
head of the State ticket, this fall, who was not

The convention at Chicago took in the situa-
ton when it put General Harrison at the head

ing, patriotic intelligence in that convention
than ever held their heads together for like pur-
poss in all time past Let the State convention,
to be held Aug. 8, still continue the wise coun-
sci given as by putting man at tins head Of the
ticket who fought for our platform and princi-
pies.

of the embarrassed condition Of the association.
The Indianapolis and Philadelphia clubs play

When tho last innings of Fridays and Satur
