SILENCE TRAT SPEAKS.

We have been waiting, with patience worthy
of better cause, for the comments of The
Evening Post'' upon the election Of w. II.
Barnum to be chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. "The Post" is not partic-
uarly well informed upon politics, but it GER
tainly knows more than enough to know what
Mr.. Barnums election means. 1t was warn
ing that every weapon of the political cor
ruptonst will be used to carry Northern States
for Mr. Cleveland, while the customary ballot
box frauds will be relied upon to make the
South solid for him. Mr.. Barnum's election
means that whatever the lavish and unscrup-
ulous use of money can do to elect the Demo-
cratic ticket will be done; and " The Post' is
silent Mr.. Barnum's reputation has been
fixed in our politics for many years. AT first
it was local, and based mainly upon his opera
tions in his Congressional district. With the
advent of Tilden Mr.. Barnum came into Ma
tional prominence and expanded his methods
to fit a Presidential election. The editor of
"The Post'' is under no illusion whatsoever
about this. He understands Mr. Barnum's
character and record perfectly well, but after
the manner of the large class of bgoted and
partisan editors to which he belongs he is
silent rdlnef lndH Sdy any OniH5 thue WIN ""h'
his party.
There is no special Inconsistency IN this
that is to say, none that need excite surprise
as coming from "The Post" If the ballot
box frauds in the South were committed by
Republicans, and if Republican control of the
National Govern ment rested upon them, The
Postn would never tire Of denounclng them.
But these frauds are committed by Democrats
they are the atOn-stone Of a Democratic
Administration and "The Post" as a Demo-
cratic paper, never tires of cooperating with
the men who perpetrate these frauds and the
men who profit by them in order to bring about
triumph for the party to which they all be-
long. If Mr. Barnum was a Republican, The
Post" would attack him furiously, but he is
a Democrat, and so it follows its rule Of look
ing at corrupt Democrat through the wrong
end of the glass, making him seem very small
and very far away, while it brings the full
power of the glass to bear upon corrupt Re
publican and magnities him to thousand
times his natural size. II follows that the
persons who get their ideas mainly from The
Post''-and it is said that there is such class,
though it is necessarily small one-really
seem to think that the Republican party is en-
trely made up of bad people, and that the
Democratic party is entirely made up of good
people, There is simple explanation of the
whole matter-that "The Post" is Demo-
cratic ncwspaper-and very bigoted and I'M
fair Democratic newspaper at that.

10 incorporate in it's Constitution direct pro-
hibition of tariff legislation for the promotion
If industries in the clause: " But no bountes
shall be granted from the treasury; nor shall
any duties or taxes on importations from for
eien nations be laid to promote or foster any
branch of industry and all duties, imposts and
excuses shall be uniform throughout the Con-
federate States.n The Confederacy was free
trade State, and that fact imbedded IN Its
Constitution enlisted English support The
logic of history is very plain when the English
people come to apply it to the facts of the pres
ent political situation. The Solid South when
it was in rebellion favored free trade without
reservation. The Solid South is now govern
ing the Union, and will continue to do so if
President Cleveland be reelected. 1t advo-
Gates free trade by the mouths of the five
Southern Democrats Of the Mills Committee
who have framed the present Tariff bill. For
this reason Mr. Cleveland is Engands can
didate.
So long as the Democracy was deprived Of
Southern leaders it was silent respecting the
tariff. From 1860, when both wings Of the
party rcafIirmed the Buchanan declaration in
favor Of progressive free trade throughout the
world" until 1876, there were no assaults in
its platforms on homo industries. In 1876
the presence of Southern leaders from all the
reconstructed States was indicated by the adop-
ton of strong multiplication plank, con-
demning the tariff in unmeasured terms and
demanding that all Custom House taxation
shall be only for revenue" In 1880 the De
mocracy again stood @ for tariff for revenue
only" The Southern oligarchy had regained
its political ascendancy and was again exerting
its despotic influence within the party in favor
of free trade 1t is using the President as its
| economic mouthpiece to-day as it employed
Pierce and Buchanan before him. 1t is
condition that confronts u.s. not theory" The
South is in the saddle riding roughshod over
American industries and for this reason MIR.
| Cleveland is Englands jockey.

TIE MEETING OF THE STATE CLUBS

THE MEETING OF THE STATE CLUBS.
A great deal of interest is manifested by
Republicans generally in the meeting OF the
New-York State League of Republican Clubs,
which is to be held in Saratoga on the 18th OF
this month. All signs point to large and
enthusiastic convention, whose outcome cannot
fail TO have a most beneficial effect upon the
National and State canvass. 1t is obviously
desirable that all Republicans who can find it
convenient to be in Saratoga at that date should
be on hand. In multitude Of counseliors
there is wisdom. Every Republican Will re-
ceiye hearty welcome, whether club-man
or not.
One of the great objects of these organlza-
tions is to provide for thorough canvass.
To win this fall we must get out the full Re
publican vote in every school district Inc
convention will afford the experienced and
sagacious party workers an opportunity to COM
pare views and adopt the best means to secure
the result upon which so much depends Those
who attend the convention will doubtless gain
many valuable suggestions for the prosecution
of campaign work. The matter is one OF OBJ
vious importance. Saratoga should be full to
OVERLOOKING with Republicans next week.

that after election he backslides He recalls
