The Mills tariff bill strikes, at every
northern industry, but protects sugar,
rice and every other southern industry.
And yet the Democracy claims that the
tariff question is not a political question.
Now if free trade will prove injurious to
the industries of this country, the Mills
bill is sure to injure the North. If free
trade is q benefit, then the Mills bill will
injure the south by protecting the in.
dustries Of that region. Why don't the

Regarding Mr.. Cleveland's message,
Col. Ingersoll sums it up In his terse way
as follows:

I suppose that he means what he said. Ills argu-
to the farmer that he lost altogether more money by
protection because he paid q higher price for manu-.
featured articles and received no more for what he had
to sell. This ~csrtainly was no argument In favor Of
FREQ trade. And there is no way to decrease the sur
plus except to prohibit the importation Of foreign
articles, which certainly Mr.. Cleveland is not in favor
Of doing, or to reduce the tariff to q point SO low that
no matter how much may 10 imported the surplus
may be reduced. If the message means anything, 1t
means free trade, and If there Is any argument In it,
It h IN argument In favor Of absolute free trade. The
party, not willing to ~ ttse trade uses the word
reform Thi.tiI simpty mask and apretense.s Z The
paFtytknows that the president made . ntstake. The
party, however, 10 % htuatsd that it can not get rid of
Cleveland and consequently must tn him with his
mistake-they must take him with his message and
then show that all he intended by free trade was
reform,

not, in my miud, the training and Political intelligence

want to sss tho party In power best qualified, best

Col. Ingersoll closes his interview
with a warm tribute to Gen. Gresham,
but is emphatically Of the opinion that
whoever is nominated at Chicago will
be elected,
