Every intelligent Republican knows
that the question OF free trade has moth
ing to do with the present canvass; that

cratic party, nor any intelligent mem
Der Of it; aud that the only issue be-

ton to-day is the proper method OF IRE
vising the inequalities Of the tariff and
reducing the surplus" to quote from
the National Republican Platform Of

Cleveland ought to have shouldered n
musket during tho war. 1t never oc-
CURED to him that his brother John

Suppose Tint Harrison and Morton
were elected in November; and suppose
that, like his grandfather. Harrison
were to die within q month after his
inauguration; then Levi p. Morton, n
London Banker, would be President Of
the United States. How does TINT
strike your With this contingency be
fore tho Republican party. how much
consistency is there in the seuseless
howl that Cleveland faYors British
capitalism
EIaminer:-An esteemed coutempo.
rary thinks tho Examiner il esiopped
from criticising Mr.. Harrison's Chinese
record because tho Democratic Senator.
Brown, Of Georgia WAS on the same
side. Well, it happens that Mr.
Brown, who was the only Democratic
Senator that voted with Mr.. Harrison
aud his Republican friends in behalf Of
tho ChipoSo. is not n candidate for the
Presidency. II he were. tho Examiner
would oppose him. Will our esteemed
contemporary DO ns Independent in the
case OF Mr. Harrison?
