Protection and Politics.

We recognize no special training re-
quired for politics, and provided the
crookedness be discarded and he is a
live man, we see no reason why pious,
good man may not indulge in politics
as an exercise or pastime. We frankly
admit if the election took place in the
near future the Republicans would east
ly win with a good, solid ticket At
present the dismay is widespread over
the issue of free trade and protection.
= The Republican statesmen
and journals have espoused the princi.
pie Of protection, discarding all refer:
ence to the surplus as an unnecessary
element in the discussion, and so far,
we are bound to admit, the advantage
is with the Republicans. They have
spread broadcast the fruits of Demo.
cratic teachings. Right CIR wrong,
they have impressed labor with a dread
of Democratic rule. They have unceas-
ingly dinged it into the labprer's ear
that a revised tariff means cheap labor,
lower wages and all the sdualor and
Indebtedness of the European laborer.
1t is an adroit issue to raise by party
skilled in astuteness, and it must bear
evil fruit. During the interval between
now and election, unless Democratic
voters can be disabused of this notion,
the Democratic ticket will be defeated,
This will be a bread and butter canvass,
and the party that will protect labor
the best will win. Troy On y Catlso,

A Fight in Which Patriotism Is THtts
Against Foreign Interference.

Fight in Which Patriotism Is Fitted
Against Foreign Interference.
Although the Democracy entwined
itself gracefully about every pillas' in
the temple of the tariff so that visitors
approaching the structure from differ
ent directions would be able to get
glimpses of the parts embracing the
question in all it's various aspects, Hen
ny Watterson, the most advanced and
Outspoken of the free traders, was able
to declare after the adoption Of the
platform that Democrats could see
what was meant without looking around
the corner. Watterson had inpor-
tuned the convention to be honest and
declare itself, for free trade, of course,
or tariff for revenue only, which is lit
tie better, and it is evident from his
cordial Endorsement of the platform
that he believed he had carried his
point. We see no other Interpretation
of the platform in conjunction with
Wattersons part in it's prepar-
alton than that it commits the
Democratic party to free trade
This, then, is the issue upon
which the campaign of 1883 is to
be fought. It must have been source
of sincere satisfaction to the manu-
facturers of England and the rest of
Europe to read the professions of a
great American political organization
in favor of a policy that would open to
them the most magnificent market on
the face of the earth. True, these pro-
fessions are ambiguous, but the astute
foreign manufacturers are sharp
enough to perceive their true import.
The Republican party ought to be
glad of the alignment made by the St.
Louis convention, and rally to the bat
tie as they never did before since Lin
coin led the loyalty of the Nation to it's
defense. Once again it must fight the
battle of the country, once again the
Democratic party is the enemy of the
people; and we are confident that
every Northern State will be politi-
cal Oregon in the fight Sacramento

The different theories advanced to-day by the
advocates of protection on the one hand and of
free trade on the other are as old as the Gov

the supporters of those different views of our
tariff are no nearer an agreement now than
they were in the days of Clay and Calhoun; and
II left In the domain of theory alone it is safe to
say they Will be as far apart at the close of the
next century as they are to-day. Now some
questions may, concede, be settled theoreti-
cally, but the tariff is not, in my opinion such a
question. single years experience is worth
all the theories that have been advocated, from

of Grover Cleveland.

An ounce of fact, we are told, is worth o

protection as deduced from theory is power
