EX SECRETARY FAIRCHILD says "the bulk
of our people are partisans." This goes
without saying, and the simple fact that it
does is enough to prove the utter absurdity
of the idea that political party can be sue
cessful that is not partisan, and that does
not reward its workers. In the earlier and
better days of the country the demand for
pay for party work was not 80 urgent as it
is now though it was always, and naturally,
expected or hoped for. The fault with Mr..
Cleveland and some of the members of his
cabinet was, that they we're not converted
until after they had received their pay.

EVEN SUCH an ultra republican paper as

great as Mr.. Cleveland showed The dill
ference between the present and the imme-
dlately preceding administration in respect
of the civil seryice,is that whereas the former,
which is republican, appoints republicans to
Office, tho latter, which was democratic, re-
tanned republicans in office. The result OF
the latter policy, unfortunately for the dem
ocrats, was what caused the former to be
now operative.

ed with some of the great manufacturers OF

Grsat Britain had too much free trade. Inc
impression is gradually forcing itself upon
them that prosperity does not lie in the Oh
reaction of free trade" This is only fair
sample of the way the protectionlsts talk'
and il shows that they either labor under
tho vain delusion that all other people are
simpletons, or else, that they themselves are
utterly reckless in their assertions. Eng
isb manufacturers thinking that Great
Rr;tian has too much free trade Why every
hodv at all familiar with English affairs
knows that English free trade, by allowing
Eoplish manufacturers to obtain thelf "a"
materials at the lowest rates and to pay for
those materials with goods instead OF Win
moo.v is the only measure by which they
ars enabled to monopolizs almost the mar
kets of the world, and that the abolition OF
that measure would produce at once RUIN
and deso!ation throughout the borders OF
ENGLAND. Mr.. Spooner should have a bet
ter opinion of the understanding of the leo
ple of his own country than to believe that
