The Portland daily press., 1888-10-17
How the country is InpoverIshed.


1t is the favorte argument of the Demo-
Gratis in this campaign that the tariff
taxes" as they call them, are running and
impoyerishing the country. Mr.. Thurman's
letter Of acceptance is almost entirely de-
voted to a statement of this charge. When,
however, Cleyeand's administration is to be
praised we are surprised TO learn from these
same Democratic orators that the nation was
never doing so WELL In speech at Cam
bridgeport, Mass, this week, Col. T. w.
Higginson, whom the Democrats are running
for Congress in that District against General
Banks, gave very interesting proof of the
prosperity of the country under the last
three years of Cleveland's administration.
This is his argument.
In the year 1884, when the present administra-
ures was one TO every 80 men or firms engaged In
business In the year 1885, when, according to
rneory we should have begun to be ruined, that
proportion was reduced TO one in SO of those en-
ployed IN business; in the following year the
number was reduced to one In 90, and in the
out of 1o2 business men Throughout the country
nad gone into bankruptcy. And yet the country
nad gone to ruin aud was being ruined!
by continuance OF the same financial
methods which were employed by the Re-
publican administration the Democrats have
steered the government along safely thus
far. Most of Col. Higginson's Republican
hearers if he had any such, would admit
this without giving him the trouble of prov
ing it. But this piece of proof is very timely
as bearing on that other Democratic claim
that the country is being taxed to the dogs
by the tariff system. Col. Higginson shows
that business men are doing better and bet
ter each year. This means that they are
having better markets for their goods and
their products, which in turn means that the
people Of this country are buying more be-
cause they have more to buy with. Col.
Higgnson finds in this showing an argu-
ment against turning out Cleveland's admin
istration. but, strange to say, fails to find in
it any reason for preserving the industrial
system under which this prosperity proceeds
so harmoniously and happily.
The Portland daily press., 1888-10-17

AS rule the presidential contest has very little
interest for the Old World On the present occa-
sion, however, an issue is involved which very
closely concerns Europe, more particularly Great
Britain. Mr.. Cleveland has taken his stand on
Free Trade, and, although the party managers
have considerably planed down his PLATFORM he is
universally recognized in the States as pledged to
initiate new departure In fiscal policy. Nor can
understanding were he elected. The central issue
of the contest lies between the maintenance of the
present fiscal spstem intact and its modification
In the direction OF Free Trade. And on that
broad question Mr.. Cleveland's candidature nat
urally and necessarily carries English sympathy.

To the gentlemen who asked him why it
was that we could not supply the world with
cotton goods the Hon. Roger @. Mills an
swered go home and soak your head
We are glad to observe that contact with
Northern people since then has somewhat
improved his manners, and he now answers
questions with comparative pollteness. His
disingenuousness has not, however, disap
peared. However, he can't be expected t.
reform all at once.

1t must be taken to prove that the President
and the Democratic leaders have finally decided
that they have nothing to gain by keeping meas
ure any longer with the Protectionists. They
have, from whatever motive, resolved TO adopt
Free-trade policy. Nothing can be more explicit
plain duty which we owe the people is to the
reduction of taxation to the amount
requisite to meet the necessary expenses
OF the Government and to restore to business and
10 the country the money accumulated in the
Treasury" In America this means Free Trade.
