EMBARRASSED DEMOCRATS
The Virginia Leaders Distracted Ovel
the Prospect OF Republican Victory.

RICHMOND, Aug. 2l.-There is a degree
of CONSERVATION in the ranks of the Demo
cratic party in Virginia that has no parallel
in history. Its press and leaders do not know
what line of policy to adopt in the canvass,
and while the newspapers are in the negro
counties counting the negro vote, in the
white counties they are doing everything
possible to infame the whites against the
colored race. On the tariff issue the Repub-
licans can win, and, therefore, the Demo-
cratic managers will try to dodge it, but they
can't succeed. The Petersburg: Index Appeal,
a high Protective Democratic paper, in to-
days issue says:
For our own part we should be glad to
see the discussion of the tariff altogether
dropped in Virginia and the fight made on
the only line in which Democratic consisten-
cy can be maintained, and Democratic sue
cess in the state, now and hereafter, put be-
yond peradventure. 1t lies with the Demo-
cratic managers to very much simplify the
contest they propose to enter upon so Wig
orously next month by adopting a line of
conduct not only consistent with the interests
of the state but also with the professions of
the party solemnly made in convention assem-
bled. Let us hope they will be wise enough
to pursue the course which consistency and
common sense so clearly indicated
The same paper copies four appeals for
''Work, work, work" on the part of the
Democratic party, one from Hon. John S.
Barbour, state chairman of the party; the
others from three prominent Democratic
newspapers. Meanwhile Republicans are
forming clubs and working with will that
presages victory.

How Far and How Much Will Cleve-
land StTaddle?

The remarkable delay of the Demo-
cratic candidates letter of acceptance
plainly indicates his trials and embarrass-
ments. The arguments of the Free
Traders pull him one way, and hard
necessities draw him in the opposite
direction. The Tariff Bulletin well says.
that ''the condition of the Free Traders
is, indeed, pitable. The straddling tactics
of Mills, Carlisle. Watterson and others
have not had the desired effect. Hun
dreds and thousands of intelligent voters
are daily leaving the party of Free Trade
and joining the ranks of the Protection
lists. Labor is organizing in every State
to thwart the schemes of those who would
put wages down to the level of pauper-
paid foreigners. Connecticut is already
| conceded to be lost to the Free Traders,
in New Jersey and New York, the pros
poets of the English ticket are anything
but bright. No letter of acceptance from
Mr.. Cleveland yet, either, What can he
be waiting for? 1t cannot be that the
President, too, is going to stradde. We
know he is reported to have said that he
could not be reelected with his Free
Trade message before the people, and
he, too, like some of his advisers, may
become desperate and resort to anything
to gain pointer vote. ''We must
make them think it does not mean Free
Trade or be defeated" says Congressman
Breckenridge; and perhaps the President
is preparing to outstraddle them all.
| Possibly he may even do as some of the
supporters of the Mills bill are doing, who
declare they are Protectionists, and OPP
posed to all tinkering with the tariff,
but excuse their vote on the plea of sup
porting party measure. What
would England do if their Free-Trade
idol, Grover Cleveland, should say in his
letter of acceptance, in case he finds the
courage to write one, that he is a Protec-
zionist. Why would it not be a good idea
for the President to get up letter of ac-
ceptance or, rather, several of them that
would fit different sections of the coun-
try: He might get up letter to send
abroad and keep up the hopes of his En-
glish friends and cause the Cobdenites not
to desist from their contributions sSThen
he might get up another letter for the
solid South. Then, of course. he would
have to get up Western letter. But the
most interesting letter of them all would
be the letter sent to New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. With Watterson.
Cox, Parsee, Moor, and his British allies
telling him to stick to Free Trade, that it
is foolish to try ito swap horses while
crossing the river, and German, Barnum
and Whitney telling him that Protection
is dominant in New York. New jersey
and Connecticut, the Buffalo statesman is
in a boiling sea of trouble. His letter
when it comes cannot fail to be curiosity.
memorable fate will be his master. Three
hundred pounds of thick-necked obesity
cannot ride two horses running in oppo-
site directions without some painful dis
comforts.

Senator Voorhees, of Indiana. 1.-THE tall
Sycamore chief of the Wabash" is on
record a. solemnly asserting that the com
paratively unobtrusive tariff plank in the
Democratic platform of 1880 lost his party
Indiana in that year. What, then, can be ex-
peeted when the President has made the is
sue between Republican protection and
Democratic Free Trade more direct than il
has ever been before: In 1880 Hancock. the
Democratic Presidential candidate, called
the tariff "a local issue" But Cleveland
by his December message, and his party
by the st. Louis Convention, have made
it a national issue, and the hostile attitude
of Great Britain to Protection in this
country have made it an American and
international issue. American convictions
and American interests will carry Indiana
for Harrison and Morton.

Reckless Evasion.

The Democratic newspapers, especially
that paragon among liars. the n. Y.
Times, have undertaken to throw aiscredit
on Mr. Blaine's incidental remark in
Portland, that England is plsstered all
over with trusts. They seek to do this.
and to blind the eyes of the American
public, by asserting that such thing as a
trust is unknown in England. Vow this
is mere bubble about phrases, whereas
facts, realities, are all there is in the issue.
Unions, associations, mutual agreements
among body of men having common
interest in manufacturing and in trade. it
is notorious that these exist in England
on large scale. The terms by which
they may be called do not change the
facts, the real entities. They operate as
trusts. and are operated in the interests of
| those who compose them. The nature
of the thistle or the rose is not changed
| by applying to it another name. Witness
this extract from the London Pottery Ga
zette of March 10, 1888:
If any manufacturers are not true to the
rules of the new association the bond they
will have signed will enable their fellow
| manufacturers to sell them up trump and
stump" Nothing but the state of dire ne
cessitv into which the trade has fallen would
tempt men to put their hands to such bond.
The scheme has just been successful with
the china manufacturers. They have jus,
obtained second advance. If the keen
buyers who always want to beggar the trade
and reduce prices say to manufacturer who
will not sell at lower than the fixed rate,
well if am forced to pay the association
price will not buy from YOU" such manu-
| facturer can reply, IAN right; if you buy
from another, and l have to stand for your
orders, shall get my pull out of your bust
ness, for our rules will not let me suffer
through refusing to reduce at your request u
So you see one manufacturer cannot be
played of against the others.
The wrath of the British press and the
false or sophistical language of the Free
Trade newspapers in this country cannot
change the inherent realities of things nor
blunt the force of Mr.. Blaine's remark.
The evils of trusts or commercial "com-
binations," or unions whatever, they
may be, can, in the very nature of things.
exist as well under Free Trade as under
Protection.

Hear Them Whine!

The Halifax Herald threatens all sorts
of things in return for the rejection OF
the fisheries treaty. 1t says:
ANY resistance on the part of a United
States fishing vessel which is caught in fla
grant violation of our fishery laws would
compel our Canadian cruisers to use force.
The loss of single life may lead to an
open rupture between the two countries, and
war may ensue. yet the Canadian people will
prefer war to contemptous and even outra-
geous treatment at the hands of an alien
government"
The Tory organ at Halifax should have
more care to its words. Its absurd threats
have been heard before, yet they harm no.
body but their silly authors. The boisterous
swagger of disgruntled provincial does
not In the least disturb the equanimity of
the American people. The rejection of
the treaty does not mean or imply that the
Unites States is not prepared and fully
resolved to defend its citizens against out
rage, but quite the contrary. Why is it
that the Tory provincials are so displeased
by the rejection of the treaty. If it is so
great thing for this country, as Cleve-
land. Bayard and W. l.. Putnam claim
that it is, why is it that our Canadian
neighbors are so wrathful over the actions
of the American Senate in rejecting it,

A Southern "In McmOriam," :"

One day in 1862 Sidney shivers, of
Webster, Ca, then eighteen years Of age,
entered his fathers house, and, divesting
himself of his hat and clothes, dressed
himself in the uniform of soldier in
order to enter the Southern army, in the
meantime hanging the hat and clothes
that he once wore upon peg in bis
room. From that day to this the hat
and clothes have hung in that same
place, not hand having been allowed to
touch them in all that time, for they
have been held sacred to the memory OF
the young Southern soldier who placed
them there. The life of Sidney Shivers
went out soon after he entered the army,
but these mute memorials of the boy who
once wore the gray still hang where they
were placed by h m twenty-six years ago
-untouchedin all that tine.--C Chicago
