The West Episode.

That Lord Sackville's letter to the Eng
lish-American of Pomona was in grave vio-
latioD of the obligations an ambassador is
under to the country TO which he is accredit-
ed does not admi: of doubt. That he de-
served punishment for writing it is equally
certain. But il may well be doubted if he has
been punished so much for meddling in our
politics as for meddling in such way as
to hurt the prospects of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cleveland has not been In the habit of
resenting British interference and British ag-
gression except under stress of what doubt.
less appeared to him and to the leaders of
his party political necessity. He roared
as gently as dove all through the fishery
dispute. The seizure and condemnation of
our vessels by one of England's colonies
excited in him but a very languid inter-
est. He consented too and urged the
Senate to adopt. treaty which our
fishermen almost unanimously declared
was surrender of their rights But
there came time when he suddenly
aroused from his lethargy and began
twisting the tail OF the British lion
with great vigor. That was when 1t had
dawned upon him that the Irish voters were
growing lukewarm and that something was
needed to keep them from deserting the
Democratic ranks. 1t would be difficult to
find in the country to-day a man, Democrat
or Republican, who believes that the retalia-
tion proclamation was anything more than
piece Uf buncombe meant to stop Irish dis
affection. In view Of that performance the
country will be likely to interpret the sum-
mary dismissal of the British minister as
inspired by similar motive. The mainte-
nance of the dignity of the country which
ought to have been the motive for his
dismissal played, we imagine, a very
small part in the consultations between
the President and the leaders of the Democ-
racy that preceded it. The maintenance of
the Democratic canvass was the chief theme
therein considered, and formed the chief If
not the only basis Of the Presidents action.
Doubtless it was great grief to Mr.. Bayard
to be compelled by political exigency to
write letter pitching in to his English
friend; but there was no other way. The
Democratic national committee telegraphed
that the Irish vote was slipping away and
something must be DONE" and something
was done. But the something that was done
does not wipe out Lord Sackville's letter.
That remains to testify TO the truth of the
Republican assertion that Mr.. Cleveland's
free trade policy is what England desires to
see adopted in this country and that Mr..
Cleveland is the man that England wishes to
see elected President

On Saturday we asked the Argus to kindly in

granted that the Argus overlooked our question.

Our esteemed contemporary is probably not
so dull as its question would seem to imply.
If the PRESS has failed to understand lust
where the Argus stands on the tariff issue,
it is the fault of the PRESS, not the Argus.
And, now we think of it,there is an old adage
about the difficulty of furnishing a reader
with ideas and at the same time with the
brains to comprehend them.-Argus.
Now this is very unkind reply to re-
speetful question asked in the midst of what
the Democracy has declared to be an .seouca-
tional campaign" The question the PRESS
asked was whether our esteemed contempo
rary was for protection or free trade. The
Argus's answer forcibly reminds us of the
answer of Mr.. Mills,th Democratic premier,
to a respectful question put to him by a
listener to one Of his harangues "Gc

Mills. You're fool" in effect shouts the

A Free Traders Mistake About
Maine.


In Boston, Tuesday night, one of the most
eminent free traders in New England, the
Hon. David A. Wells, delivered a political
speech in which he pictured elaborately and
learnedly the evils which he seems to think
the present tariff system is bringing upon
New England. 1t is not our pinnose to COM
ment on that speech at length, but one pas
sage of it ought not to pass unanswered.
Mr.. Wells turns to Maine as the most terri
BILE example of this decadence, and thus
paints her situation:
But the lessons derived from an examination
and comparison Of the statistics of the State OF
Maine are the most instructive and startling in
have been thus far wholly overlooked by the
seekers after tariff information In the present
political campaign. Maine, the State where the
Messrs. Blaine, Reed, Frye and Dingiey. are ac
cepted by large majority Of the people as in the
nature Of gospel truths, which 1t is positively
wicked TO question or deny; the State which sends
Mr.. Frye TO the federal Senate the man who de-
ciares tnat; Il ths government was freed from the
taxes. Speech q the Hon William P. P.eTFy.Vg Fryeg,

agriculture; but note the condition of this her
chief Industry: n 1870 the value Of the farms
OF Maine was Sl02, ,961 900, and in 1880 S1O2,-
sion.
Here are two main facts urged as proofs
that Maine is going backward. Let us ex-
anime them. 1t must be conceded that
MAINE lost in population from 1870 to 1880
and that the increase in the next decade was
not large; but how can it be shown that it
mas been the tariff, any more than the moon
that mas sent the young men of Maine from
the farms to the cities? The movemont
from country to city is a phenomenon of
modern society observed alike in free trade
and protection countries. Not having anv
large cities capable of retaining her restless
sons, Maine has lost them to other States
and it will take something more than free
trade policy to bring them back. So much
as to the argument from population. The
second fact, that the value of the farms.
which in an agricultural State like Maine
may be taken as the barometer of property,
decreased from 1870 to 1880 is an apparent.
not real fact In 1870 the valuation was
measured by the inflated paper dollar. which
was worth only about rs cents in gold: in
1880 the valuation was measured by the re-
stored dollar, worth 100 cents in gold. IL

A COLD WINTER COMING

The goose with his bone, the muskrat with
his burrow, the tree with its bark. the beaver
with his house, the corn with its husk, and
the scores of other animals and objects are
made the basis of winter predictions.
Those who attempt to be weather-wise by
their study have been making their usual
varying statements. but it has been left for
horses with their coats to give point for a
most direful prophecy. ASpring6eld stable
man says he never before knew his horses TO
shed their coats so early or to grow new ones
so heavy, and is certain we are to have 'the
blizzardest blizzardy kind of a winter

Gently to the Utica Morning Herald an an
alysis Of the proposed duties on burlaps and
cotton bagging, claiming that the Mills
measure is largely southern one. Mr.
Pomeroy says: fs,f h.fsr-s
But why does Mr. Mills designate as "oil-cloth
founda Ions" burlaps under sixty inches wide,
width is used by the oiI-cloth manufacturers? If
he really mt ant burlaps as ''oil-coth founda-
ti0ns,' Why does he charge with a twenty-five per
cent. duty near all the burlaps consum d In that
business, and at the same time admit free only
that used almost wholly by the southern planters?
This Interpolation of the term "ol-c 9th founda-
uons,' looks very uch like piece of trickery, a
mere pretence under which 10 hide southern hos
tility to northern industries. 81
An honest statement Of this matter would have
bern to say, .burlaps used by the southern plant
ers for bagging their cotton, shall be admitted
duty free but all burlaps used as 'o-cloth foun-
dations by the northern manufacturers shall be
charged with duty of twenty-five per cent?

Value of Farms

From 1860 to 1870, it will be noticed, the
value of the Maine farms, and the farmers
implements and machinery, apparently rose
in value very rapidly, while from 1870 to
1880 they apparently failed to advance On
the face of them the figures seem to show
that in one decade under a tariff Maine was
very prosperous while in the next, under the
same tariff, she was very unprosperous.
Even this would not seem to be an argument
for free trade, although Mr.. Wells seems 10
think it is. But rightly interpreted the fig
ures are an argument for protection. In 1860
we had the golddol worth 100 cents; but in
1870 every dollar was worth only rs cents in
gold, /. e.. whatever was worth 75 cents in
gold was valued at dollar If it was an arti-
Gle frequently in the market. But as it is a
familiar feature of paper money inhations
that the value of real estate is less sensitive
than that of commodities, it is probably
hardly fair to say that the valuation of real
estate was enhanced more than half as much
as the valuation of commodities. Land
worth S7a cents in gold would have been
valued at one dollar in 1870. This is the
estimate made by the compilers Of the Tenth
| census. Reducing the valuation of 1870 to
| the true gold basis. we have the following
| showing of the value of Maine farms for the
last three decades:
