Free Traders Doing Englands Work.

When England takes deep interest in
the affairs Of another country it may be
taken for granted that she does so from
selfish motives. IL is well known that
ever since the seeds planted by the Golden
Club began to bear fruit England has
anxiously watched every phase of Ameri-
can politics. Why is this? The answer Is,
that American politics now turn on the
question Of Protection and Free Trade. II
the two great political parties were divid-
ed on an issue that affected America only,
they could 90 on fighting their political
battles till the crack of doom without re-
ceiving much attention from the English
press.
The moment Protection and Free Trade
became the issue England was alert. She
knows right well that her pockets will be
affected injuriously by a victory Of Pro-
lection, and for this reason all her sympa-
thies are enlisted on the side of the Free
Traders. If they win in the coming strug-
gle, it will mean million 4 dollars in her
pocket. 1t is not surprising, then, that
she is 40 deeply interested in the coming
Presidential election. In the Mills Bill
she sees the promise of things to come, and
reoices ut the thought that she has in Mr..
Cleveland and his fellow Free Traders
loyal and active workers who will leave
nothing undone to secure for her the
American market.
The following extract from the letter of
an American business man, now in Eng
land, which appears in the Philadelphia
Press, furnishes us with an idea of the
self sh interest England takes in the affairs
of this country;
business here is very poor. Manufac-
turers and merchants both complain of the
. volume being done and the meagre profits
they obtain.
Almost every one you meet in trade circles
questions you regarding the prospects of our
Tariff bill and seems to think it is the one
ray of hope they have of an improved condi-
ton of affairs. Several of the largest manu-
facturers in this district (YorkshireJ have
discussed with me the idea of their removing
their plants to the States in the event of the
tnrlu not being reduced To considerable
extent. | discussed the same question with
them two years ago, but at that time they
would not entertain the thought. Should
Congress rectfy the worsted clause and make
Them pay the same duty on woolens it would
make matters much worse for the people
here"
From this it will be seen that the Free
Trade movement in this country could be
tittingly described as an effort to improve
| the condition of England's trade. Anglo
mauiacs will, of course, be glad of the
opportunity to help on a movement OF
this kind. For them it will be a work OF
| love.
The Free Trade party, however, is not
made up of Anglo-maniacs. A great
many of the rank and file are Protection
lists wao have no special love for Eng
land. 1t remains to be seen whether these
voters will march under the Free Trade
banner shoulder to shoulder with the
nglo-maniacs. Irish World.

The Boston Journal is entitled to credit
for the faithful, but nOwise bitter, manner
with which it rebukes Lowell for his rem
egadism and American disloyalty.
Though published at the Hub and under the
droppings of the Cambridge literary sane
tuary, it says Mr.. Lowell is pretty sure to
find the warmth of his welcome in certain
circles in England considerably increased
by his recent address before the Reform
Club in New York. There is no more
certain way for an American TO win him
self favor among very large portion OF
the inhabitants of Great Britain than by
abusing his own countrymen and Repub-
lican institutions generally. Mr.. Lowell,
it can reasonably be assumed, did not in
tend to do all this in his New York adj
dress, but, nevertheless, that is the inter
probation which the great majority OF
Englishmen will put upon it.
This English eagerness to discredit and
defame America is admirably illustrated
in the current English comments on Mr.
Lowells address.
The London Spectator is in high glee
over Mr.. LOwells late deliverance. II
finds in it "a sentence passed by an
American upon democracy" and refers to
Mr.. Lowell as deeming it ''his duty tC
point out to his countrymen the radica
vice of their mode of government" The
declaration that there are no great men il
politics in the United States, the Specta
tor rolls as sweet mOrsel under it,
tongue. Not content in discovering il
Mr.. Lowell's address bold indictment
of American democracy, the Spectator
goes even further and attributes the evils
which Mr.. Lowell deplores not alone tt
our democratic institutions, but also t.
our federal system,-our division into
States. Here the Spectator converts Mr.
Lowell's utterance into an argument
against home rule. 1t proclaims thai
great men must have rooms, and only il
Il consolidated empire can scope be af
forded for their development and achieve
ments." sit is the very essence of the
federal system, which home rulers thinl
so superior to our own," the Spectator
charges, "that room shall be refused"

Grover Cleveland is again the Demo
This is precisely what the public has been
expecting. This is exactly what Rcpub-
licans have earnestly wished. The itua-
ton of the Democratic party permitted
no other alternative. The nomination
has been made In utter disregard of
Cleveland's unqualified professions. 1t

regard OF his pledges which he has shown
throughout his entire career as political
man, especially since he entered the Execu-
tive Mansion at Washington. lie has

intellect enough for that. He is surely
destined to drag his party to defeat, and
allow the return of his opponents to the
control of the National Government. As
the corruption and blind infatuation of
Louis Napoleau's dictatorship ruined
Caezarism in France aud opened to che
Republicans the path of victory, so will
the mulish. unintellectual dictatorship of
the ex-sherff of Buffalo drag down
Democratic Bourbouism and make sure
the defeat of British Free Trade pro-
paganism. The language of the adage,
"whom the gods destroy they first
make mad" in the cascsof Cleveland may
be varied--whom the gods destroy they
first make fools. Bourbonsm is doomed.
The Free Trade leaders conspire with a
foreign enemy. and no great party in this
country can endure such an alliance of
disloyalty without defeat. Clevelandism
is doomed not only because of its Free
Trade propagandism, but because its chief
has completely unmasked himself before
the American people. The shameless
game of fraud and deception practiced in
1884 cannot be repeated. in 1883. Then
thousands of honest American voters
were allured to vote for him by the de-
ceptive mists with which he was sur

hood and hypocrisy cannot be repeated.
