The e~lectioneering campaign in Amer
lea ought to be most interesting to the
English people for historical, political,
philosophical and economic reasons.
The main question at issue is English
free trade against the continental system
of protection. The republic is on trial.
Good, conservative government, under
Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and
ruin party of Blaine, whose friends nom-
mated Harrison, and who would be
the secretary of state under a Harrison
administration. Thus the American
people are directly involved in the con.
test through their pockets, which will
be affected by the tariff, and their future.
which would be seriously Influenced by
the restoration to power Of such a fire.
brand as Blaine, with his home rule
s~ympathies and anti Canadian policy.
The American election IS infinitely
more important to. Englishmen than
their own internal politics just at this
junction. and they should observe every
phase of the campaign closely and un-
derstandingly. 1t is from this point Of
view that the copious dispatches to the
Sunday Times are cabled. The result
of the American election will help to
decide many important issues in Great
Britain, &

After 119 years of association with

In our state one first rate farmer, mechanic
or b~ookkeeper Of pure aboriginal blood;
not n merchant or owner Of . large herd

workers for q few weeks or months It 4

grain fields and sheep shearing, but at the
close of the season they have wasted Their
earnings in dissipation. and then louneed
about in idleuess until another period OF
higher wages would stimulate them to
exertion.. This mode Of life among the
men, the degraded character Of the
women, the squalor of their dwellings.
and the frequency Of thefts near Their
camps, render them very undesirable q
neighbors.

nee for congressional delegate. made q

he said:

Where He Is Known.
The Washington Springs Herald, pub
lished at the home of the Democratic
congressional candidate, says Of the
gentleman: ~. w. Harden will not
carry his own legislative district, his own
county, or even his own township. The
Democrats made q great mistake in
picking up Mr.. Harden for a farmer
thus expecting to capture the alliance
vote. His family lives on a farm, Mrs.
Harden and the boy are farmers, and
John W. lives. with them when not
roaming about the territory. occupying
or in search Of some official position.
That's the oalibre of John ". Harden

It is not p~artisanship but broad states

Of Dakota to the Union, and it is some
thing worse than ordinary ~,partisanship,
which bars tho territory out. It is par

~clusion Of Dakota will figure much more

Bourbon advisers appear to think. And

Lieut.. Cen. Dick Taylor, An ex.oon.
federate, writsssthe Charlestown News
and Courier, the following epistls ad-
dressed, TO the people Of the north:
We made two great mistakes. Had
we.avoided them We should have con-
Lquered you. The first was We did not
Substantially destroy the protective feat
ures of the tariff in the winter session OF
1867 and 1858, by an set which pro-
vided . rapid sliding scale to free trade.
We could have passed such . Law and
held it tight on you till it closed the
furnaces, workshops, wooden mills and
steel and bar iron works Of the whole
north and west, and scattered your
workmen oyer the prairies and terri
tories. When the war was ready for
you, you would not have been ready
for the war. You could not have armed
and equipped and put in the field .
large army, MOI built . large navy.
You would have been without supplies,
machinery and workmen, and you
would have been without money and
credit.
An admirably honest confession
showing the constant purpose Of the
south, Wherein do the purposes Of the
Mills bill and the speeches Of the rebel
brigadiers advocating that measure
differ from the purposes 30 honestly
expressed in Gen. Taylor's letter. The
unreconstructed rebels regret that they
HE
did not accomplish in 1873 the very
object which is sought to be attained by
legislation in 1873. Gen. Taylor says
1--WE could have passed such q Law and
held it tight on you until it closed the
furnaces, workshops, WOODEN and cotton
mills and steel and bar.iron works Of
the whole north and west"
This would have been accomplished
by the Mills bill 30 years ago.. What is
to prevent its accomplishment by the
Mills bill now?

CLEVELAND TO De sAcMf,oED

That the Democracy Nay survive
After Nov. 9th.
Albany IL. Ttnss (Dsn.)3
Theirs u one tremendous question
agitaainx the minds of the Democratic
masses now, which the Democratic
leaders are not considering a. much a.
they should. and which they will prob.
ably not consider when. it Is presented
to them. The question is this: Would
the surrender OF Democratic supremacy
in the nation, represented Is it now is,
be any worse than the Endorsement a!
the polls Of q great free trade scheme Of
which the end cannot be SEEM The
Democratic administration Of three
years and a hall, by an executive who
was chosen somewhat because Of bis
voluntary Remuneration ofa continuance
in power through . second term, has
not strengthened the party 10 much a.
even the tendency Of q scheme to les-
sen protection has weakened it. There
is little hope that the Democrats would
increase their strength a. q party four
years hence by their success now in re-
electing Cleveland. As his administra-
ton already has served to weaken the
party, his second administration would
be merely q four years. continuance Of
that weakening process.
Had he been some devoted champion
Of the true principles Of the party, some
loved and trusted leader. in whose
fidelity and wisdom the party could
even blindly trust and whom it could
follow with no question Of his steadfast-
ness to principle. the message on which
the campaign has been made to turn
might have been accepted, though more
probably it would then have not been
offered. But that the whole future Of
the party should be wagered on a test,
which he presented apparently for no
reason other than to force his own re.
nomination with a trust in luck for sue
cess at the polls afterward), isnot an in.
vitatlon to faithful Democrats to aid in
h,s reelection so much as it is warn.
ing of the risk the party is hereafter to
suffer at his hands. %
There is no doubt in any sane mans
minds that the election or Mr.. Cleye.
land in the coming fall would be an in
timation, and on the surface a logical
evidence that the Democratic party is
opposed to the principle of protection,
and with that stigma and burden upon
it, It would not he able again to elect
another president. The question in
myriads Of Democratic minds is n Of
this very heroic character. Would it
not be better for the party, in all future
time, that it should by its votes this fall
pronounce in the most decided terms
against the ruinous policy Of the presi.
dent, and vindicate its principles rs a
party Of protection to labor and home
industries.

Some u n


In the economy Of man there should
be an equilibrium kept up between the
producers and the consumers. As long
as this is done the demand will: be Just
equal to the supply and vice versa.
Now if the producing class becomes
moro numerous than is necessary to
supply the regular consumers. the sup.
ply will be too great for their needs and
prices will run down. That is just
our present condition. The manufao.
turing interests Of the country embrace
the consumers of the country. These
interests are not prospecting to such an
extent as to draw into them enough
people to consume the produce raised.
The large number Of the people have
gone onto the farm. At present there
is little inducement for capital or labor
to go into manufacturing. Prices for
goods are down too. There is a very
strong foreign competition in this direc.
ton. and unless the manufacturing in.
of the country are fostered in a
better way than is proposed by the
Democratic party the people will stay
out Of the business and go to farming
where they "a raise their own produce,
still increasing the supply. II this goes
on in such a ratio it vii; not be long till
the price of produce will be too low to
encourage farming as an industrial in.
terest. Stagnation will follow with hard,
very hard times. A great number Of
people will be thrown out Of employ.
ment with no money with which to buy,
even at tho lowest prices, and this con
dition is next to anarchy.
