The Democratic party, operated by a So

On the adoption of free trade in the

There has seldom been a Presidential
campaign in which the Republicans of
Connecticut have been so early in the field
and so enthusiastic as they are this year.
They feel that the time has come when
they must defend their homes and pros
perity. Many of their Democratic neigh
bors are with them, and it is certain that
Harrison and Morton will have Connecti-
cuts electoral votes-New York Mail and
Express
The present campaign is pre- eminently
the battle OF labor. Old issues are elimi-
mated to a great extent. and the threadbare
arguments of sentimentality and prejudice
have given way to facts and figures bearing
on the condition of American labor. In no
previous campaign has it been made so
plain that the prosperity of labor is but an
other word for the prosperity of the coun-
try.-MiuleapoLiS Journal.
The Hartford Comm Post says while
the Democratic press of the State are re-
loicing over the one little convert to free
trade, Mr.. Hincks of Bridgeport, the Re-
publican press is content to chronicle these
conversions from Clevelandism and De-

The last number of Hdrper'S Weekly has
car oon which represents General Har-
rison's ideal of American trade +" as one

nothing is taken in ira ie." There may
be more idiotic cartoon evolved
during the campaign, but we doubt it.
The fact is that under our protective
tariff, against which the free-traders rail,
we actually bought of foreign nations last
year 100000 900 worth of merchandise in
excess of all we sold to them. Yet the free
traders insist that the tariff obstructs for
eign trade, and that protectionists expect to
sell, but are unwilling to buy in foreign
markets.-BostOn Journal.
The Democrats are hard up when they
begin TO howl about what Mr. Blaine said
Of trusts. In the first place Cleveland is a
pretty fellow to talk about trusts. when we
ali know that the money that pulled him
through ct the last moments was contrib
uted by trusts, and that those trusts are
represented in the Cabinet. Mr. Blaine
did not discuss the trust question but
gave an apt illustration OF British
trusts-which, under free trade, plaster the
whole land. The opposition to trusts comes
in where industries that are protected
against external competition combine to
prevent competition at home. The Repub-
llcans do not defend those trusts Mr..
Blaine has certainly not done so.-Cincia-
