FREE-TRADE AND CLEVELAND
IN 1892.

Details given in another column of
a conspiracy to commit the democrat
ic party through its several state con
ventions of the present year to re
newal of the fight for free-trade ir
1892, and to the denomination of .Mr
Cleveland, are an indication that the
protection victory of 1883 has mo-
ended the struggle over the great
American principle. The shrewd and
capable democratic leaders who arr
engaged in the movement give it al
importance that protectionists canno
and must not ignore.
The internal evidence of the plot il
clear. The tariff planks adopted il
four democratic conventions in state.
where the democracy has always hat
a large protection element are strik
ingly alike in phrasing and sentiment
In two of these states protection dem
ocrats have been nominated at the
heads of ticke t., apparently to sweet
en- the dose.
1t has been common report tina,
Mr.. Cleveland's friends would press
him for denomination. Numbers OF
democratic papers over the country
already support him for 1892. He
can be placed again before the people
only by securing a practically unani
nous Endorsement of his free-trade
policy from the democracy of the sew.
eral states.
The existence of such a political
scheme emphasizes the necessity OF
republican activity to OBJ tain the fruits
of last falls victory. The free-trade
snake has only been scotched, and the
friends of protection everywhere must
arouse themselves to meet its new and
insiduOus attack
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
protection. The Press.

you wrong until proof of it is as
plain and clear as the sun at noon on
a cloudless day, and then yet, even
then, do not censure until you have
heard from his own lips his version Of

ever friend to him, he is certainly
entitled to that much forbearance

for the supporters of the winning
candidate always get the best places
on the committees. The members

the winning candidate. It's ques.
ton that will not be decided until the

that involves the interests-or should in
volve the interests-of every American
citizen. Already are aroused the restau-

not down. Not alone are these clamor.
Gus individuals; others catch the spirit of
the fathers-and mothers-of rs, and
come up as one man demanding that

uration of our national independence.
We see no good reason why we should
not this year spread the eagle and ventil>
ate our patriotism by all joining heartily
IN grand and glorious Fourth of July
celebration. The time is growing short
and we must be up and doing. We must
take Old Father Time by the forelock-
he is bald behind. Let some influential
citizens take the lead in this matter, and
they will surely find an immense and en-
thusiastic following-one that will aston
ish the world. There seems to be gen
eral uprising of the people on this SUBJ
ject. and nothing short of chance to
show their liberality and patriotism will
meet the general demand Let us put
our shoulders to the wheel and give this
