1t is easy to understand why the Demo-
cratic papers are annoyed by the exuber-
ance and delight of English papers over the
Democratic free trade movement, but it
seems to US that such sentiments as this
from the British Hosiery Review is good
for the American workingman to paste in
his hat:
I'VE venture to assert that England will
reap the largest share of any advantages that
may arise FROM the adoption of the ideas
now advocated by the free trade party of the
United States"

The Hamilton Canada Spectator is pre-
mature, but candid, in expressing the
feelings and indicating the plans of Cana
dams in view of the Mills bill:
"Our neighbors across the line seem like
ly to afford us an opportunity of entering
their markets as they did ours before the
days of our national policy, when they
slaughtered their surplus stocks at prices
with which our own manufacturers were una
BILE to compete. That such an opportunity
may come to us seems well nigh incredible,
but many of our manufacturers are fore
casting the results that must, they say, in
evitably follow the passage of certain tariff
legislation now before the United States
Congress, and said to be so strongly support
ed as to warrant the belief that it will pass
and become law"

but many, if not the most of remedies in
general use by physicians afford but tempo

The Boston Herald in its Sunday editions
is giving some excellent articles of late upon
the different features and points Of interest

teresting things which can be told of their

these articles will be read with interest by
the public but also that it will awaken q more
general interest for its success in the minds

Mr. Allen TbOrndike Rice, who has

ing the administration and all its

dents tariff reform message in tie

latest device is the collection of a num-
Der of short essays upon the wicked
ness of "free trade" written by a gen

features which are enriched by the tariff
tax upon consumers. These he joins
in a chorus supporting the theme which
he gives out briefly in the opening.
to the effect that the presidents views
are "immature Judgments" and that
his "message bears within it a death
warrant to the creature comforts of the
American workman" The reference
to the American workman indicates
that Mr.. Rice fails to appreciate the
real force and bearing of the demon
stration which he has arraigned; for II

HOW RHODE ISLAND WAS SOLD OUT

tFrom the New York Herald
Our New York representative OF high
moral ideas-as illustrated by the pub
lie life OF Mr.. Blaine-the Tribune, is
claiming a great victory for its party III
Rhode Island.
All right. We have watched the
drift of affairs in that little state for
some time, and came TO the conclusion
tan laws ago that in the application OF
corrunt methods the democrats had no
chance against such skillful opponents.
The party In power has not wholly
dispensed with its political conscience,
and exhibits q certain hesitation in he
matter OF openly buying votes. II is
therefore handicapped at the very
start In a contest like that just won. II
will perhaps get rid Of its scruples In the
.weet by and by, but for the present il
il really no match for our friends, the
enemy.
hn1de Island, during the recent
campaign, was literally Grenched III
corrnnt methods. The republicans had
more money than the democrats and
thev used il more freely. They knock
ed the hoops off the ''bar'P' in the pub,
lie square and bought votes at any
price, proclaiming in one instance al
least that they were in the field to win,
and would give five dollars more for a
vote than the democrats would, nc
matter what price the democrats
offered. The state was an auction
block and the campaign was as vicious
Iy conducted as that of Sprague in
1861.
In such a match of course the repub.
Iicans were victOrs. They have hat
more experience.

TIE LATEST STATE RIGHTS.

The republican supreme court of the
United States has taken One step farther
in its support of state rights. 1t has
made a decision in a Pennsylvania case
that a state may absolutely prohibit
the manufacture and sale OF oleomar-
garine without violating II clause in
The federal constitution, which means
that, so far as the federal constitution is
concerned, a state may prohibit the
manufacture or sale of anything; may
suppress any industry within its Dor
ders; render any trade unlawful. We
do not see how it eau be worth while
for democrats, north or south, 10 DIS
turb themselves in fear of any danger
that shall come to distinctive democrat
ic doctrines about the national and
state constitutions. Both parties and
the people generally seem to be in more
danger from embarrassment from
Ieanings toward extraordinary claims
for the states than from the opposite
source.

JOHN SHERMAN HAS RFoANTBD,


~ hiiouSib"tN
AS has already been shown, John
Sherman once entertained some ex-
ceediDgly liberal views OH the tariff
question. That was before the reac-
rionary movement in the republican
party had swept all the leaders into its
current. AT that time not ouly Sher-
man, but Blaine, Garfield, Logan, Nor
ton, Hale, Dawes and many othei
prominent republicans dared TO express
sentiments and to perform acts in be-
half of tariff reform which would now
be utterly condemned as rank hercsy
by the trust monopoly element of the
party. When the tariff fed monop0lies
became the dominating power within
the party these leaders saw they had no
alternative but to step down and out or
iall without protest or resistance into
tho current of reaction.
How far this backward tendency has
borne John Sherman in the last twenty
wears may be seen from the following
passage from his report on an "lnter-
national Monetary Standard" June 8,
1863.
every advance toward a free ex-
change of commodities is an advance
in civilization every obstruction 10 a
free exchange is born OF the same mar
row, despotic spirit which planted cas-
ties upon the Rhine to plumber peaceful
commerce.; every obstruction to COM
merce is a tax upon consumption;
every facility to II free exchange
cheapens commodities, increases trade
and production and promotes civiliza-
ton. Nothing Is worse than section
alism within a nation, and nothing is
better for the peace OF nations than
urrestricted freedom of commerce and
Intercourse with each other.'
The sentiment is whorthy OF Adam
Smith or his greatest disciple, Richard
Cobden. Yet the author of b fore
going declaration in favor Of the larg-
eat commercial freedom is now seen
resisting with might and msin every
effort TO relax tho severity OF a bsrbar-
Gus system of tariff laws. What other
tariff policy that the world has ever
known more closely fits his description
OF the obstruction to free exchange
born Of the 'narrow, despotic spirit
which planted castles upon the Rhine
to plumber peaceful commerce" Tie
has only ( substitute the tariff-created
crust monopolies and combina-
lions TO levy tribute on the masses
Of the people for the robbel

Still, it Is a matter admitting of debate
whether, on the eve OF a presidential

clusiou OF the subject matter In dis
pute. The reformers, however, have
already reached a position they had
never previously attained. Thanks to
the president, they have gained the
ear of the people; they have dictated
the political issue; they have put their
opponents on the defensive; while in
so doing they have in reality achieved
a success which is little short of halt
