The Democratic party is the party
of protection, of protection to Amer
leans instead of Englishmen. The
war tariff and the shipping laws
have destroyed the American ocean

New York Democratic Politics

Philadelphia Times.
There remains little doubt now
that Governor Hill will get there.
The Grace movement appears to
have been laughed out of the court
of public opinion. That willy mil
lionaire made a bold bid for the
gubernatorial nomination and
manoeuvred for it with reckless
ness that never took into account
the question of the Presidential
succession. But his plans seem to
have gang aglee" Then an at
tempt was made to use Roswell p.
Flower as club with which to
knock out Hills political brains.
but Flowers Democracy is of the
sterling sort, and, besides, he is an
ardent admirer of Cleveland, for
whom he led the cheering in the
st. Louis Convention. He knew
that refusal to renominate Hill
meant serious disruption in the
Democratic ranks and a severe blow
at Cleveland's chances of success in
New York State. Consequently
his declination to permit the use of
his name was both prompt and en-
phatic.
Next in this game politics came
an authoritative declaration from
Washington that those protesting
to speak for the President, and who
represented him as desiring Grace's
selection by the State Convention,
wore engaged in mendacious mis-
representations, and that Mr.. CIeYe-
land desired Mr.. Hills renomina-
ton above all things. 1t would
have been surprising, in fact, if as
shrewd a man as the President is
credited with being should, for even
Il moment, have listened to those
who whispered of Hills alleged
ambition and the ACCESSIBILITY of
crushing him out of official ex-
istence. With Hill on the State
ticket Cleveland can easily carry
New York against any living man;
with Hill humiliated with defeat
and his large and enthusiastic fol-
lowing disgruntled, Cleveland's
defeat in this State would be not
only possible, but probable. But
the intimation from Washington
as to the Presidents feeling on the
subject appears, at the present time
at least, to have allayed some of the
bitter feeling which existed in the
Democratic camp, and | do not
look for any serious opposition to
the Governors denomination.

High protection means high
prices; high prices mean reduced
consumption. and reduced consump-
ton must inevitably be followed by
a reduced demand for labor and
lower wages. Per contra, free raw
materials mean cheaper production,
increased consumption, a greater de-
raand for labor and higher wages.
This is not theory; it is fact, prov
en- by experience.

For years the Republicans have
prided themselves on their superior
intelligence and attributed the
growth of Democracy to the in

riously contend that the ~ per cent

free trade? If they are not fools or
knaves they exhibit stock of igno-
rance that would make the typical

to the recent colored convention,
held at indianapolis, has the follow
ing to say:
Gone of the surprises of the cam
paign promises to be the strength
of the colored vote which will he
cast for Cleveland and Thurman.
The convention, which has just
closed at indianapolis, indicated
which way the wind was blowing,
but from interviews with prominent
colored citizens of this city, this
would seem to be simply the-start-
ing point. Nearly halt'of the color
ed men of this city will cast their
ballots for Cleveland. Their main
reason for doing so is, of course,
their approval of the Presidents
conservative administration. a
secondary cause is the fact that
since the Democrats have been in
power the colored race have been
recognized and honored to a far
greater extent than they ever We're
under Republican administrations
The Republicans were always will
ing TO receive the votes of the col
ored people, but they would not
consent to give them Office. The
Democrats on the contrary, have
been willing to intrust them with
power and to place them in Office.
They naturally feel grateful for
this, and they propose to furnish a
substantial proof Of their satisfaction
at the polls.

For twenty five years our farmers
have had the advantage of that
great Home Market which high
protection is supposed to give them,
and still as class they have not
made money. The products of the
farm have scarcely been able,to pro
cure the necessaries of life, made
dear by excessive taxation. They
arc now anxious to buy their sup
plies little cheaper, and run the
risk of the Home Market. Whether
tariff taxes so up or down, they
argue, the American people will
probably consume as much as they
did before, and prices in the Home
Market will be regulated inst as
they always have been by the law
of supply and demand.
