WHY IT should be so no body can tell, a.
lest satisfactorily, but, for all that. the fact
still remains that the prevailing impression
throughout the country is that the demo
cratic nominee for the next Presidency mus
be New Yorker. In New York this cpiD-
ion is not disputed among democrats. and 1t
is also believed there that Gov. Hill will be
selected for the nomination. If such is to
be the case, the Governor, in order to make
himself "solid" with his party throughout ths
country, should avail himself of every COT
oevable opportunity for announcing bis op
position to protective, and bis support Of
revenue tariff. Mr.. ClevelsDd's wise ad
vooaoy Of low tariff secured him many
votes that he would otherwise have lost.

THE REPORTS of this years wheat crop

previous years. But, according to re-
publican ideas, that it is 30, Is not bench nal
According to those ideas short crops are BET

small supply increases the price. When the
general crop is short, the few farmers VINO
make large crops are certainly benefited ss
the price of wheat, like that of evsry thug

demand. But while the republicans admit
the truth of this principle in the case OF
wheat, they deny it in the case of labor, and

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The he-

means committee have practically
agreed upon every point Of division on
the tariff schedules and the reductions
to be made from internal revenue, and
will present the bill to the full commit
tee for its consideration before the end OF

pet-wools, Mexican lead ores and one
or two other articles have not yet been

While the bill is not absolutely COM

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.

The spring elections in New York,
most of which take place in the month
of March, but on different days in
different cities and counties, have
within the last fortnight been held in
about third of the state, and with
very significant results. Thus in
fifteen counties in which last year the
Republicans held the board of super
visOrs in twelve, by the late elections
they retain the board in but six,
gain of six by the Democrats. At the
same rate, the Democrats will hold
three-fOurthS of the counties at the
end of the spring elections, about the
same proportion that was held by the
Republicans last year. 1t is true that
these local elections do not always
turn upon political issues, but they do
SO in the main, and the late Samuel
j. Tilden, whose knowledge Of the de-
tails of politics in New York was
never equalled always counted
general gain or general loss at the
town elections as an infallible index
of waxing and waning party strength
These democratic gains, it will be
noted, are through the country, and
their causes are manifest. In New
York, as throughout the West, the
democratic press has conducted a bat
tie for tariff reform, and their work is
beginning to tell. The results re-
corded in the fifteen counties referred
to "are the protest of the reused in
telligence" lin the language of the Al
bany Argus ''Of rural New York
against a tariff tax system which rests
upon rural New York. They are the
protests of the farmers of this state
against national administration
which, within one brief year, has lost
the respect of the country and never
had the confidence of thinking men,"
Like surprising changes with those
in New York are noticed in Pennsyl-
vania, where within a week or two
such staunch Republican cities as
Lancaster, Harrisburg and Gettysburg
have been won from the Republicans,
purely on political issues. In Iowa,
too, in a few cities where elections
have been held, as in Clinton the other
day, democratic gains have in every
case been shown.
All of which goes to indicate, as
already limited, that tidal wave has
set in in favor of tariff reform. Both
the farmer in the country and the
working man in the city are beginning
to study economic questions and are
discovering that a high tariff does
them no good, while increasing the
price of their living, their tools and
implements. In 1888 the democracy
were defeated on the tariff issue. In
year and half they have. gained
such ground that tariff reform would
now be the great issue on which the
democrats could march to victory.
