FREE TRADE DELUSiONS.
fsalt Lake Trlbune.l

The other morning dispatch made
mention of remarkable speech deliv-
cred at Leeds, Eng, by Sir Lyon Play
fair, which was hailed by all the free
traders i'm this country as an absolute
humiliation OF the protection theory and
an unanswcrable argument i'm favor OF
free trade. The eastern press obtained
fuller dispatches than we did, and gave
more OF Sir Lyon Playfar'S argument.
In the course OF 10 there was remarka-
BILE assertion, as follows
I'm less than twenty years the United
States will have no food to export.
Therefore IL is England's policy TO de-
yelop the farming resources OF Canada"
Is il coming 10 that? Is IL true that in
two decades Of years more the United
States will have no breadstuifs 10 eX-
port? And what is going TO bring about
this great change? Can 10 be anything
else except that the manufactures OF the
United States will be so extensive that
the employees of those factories will con-
sumo all that our country raises? Is
that what is going TO result from such
bills as the Mckinley bill? If that is
true, or if il approxmatcs TO the truth,
is it possible that the protective system
is altogether wrong? In that sentence
il seems TO us that Sir Lyon gave his
cause dead away. IL certainly looks TO
the ordinary understanding rs though it
would be better TO have the iron ore
turned TO machinery i'm our country and
give so many hands employment in run
ming that machinery that they would
consume all the bread Of this continent
rather than TO stop those machines and
make of this country second Ireland.
Ireland is a country where free trade
has done its perfect work. And some
how there is a disposition on the part of
a great many Irishmen TO get out from
under the blessings which haYe been
brought by free trade to them, and TO
come and face the hardships which are
inflicted on the poor by protection in the
United States. That is not all. After
they have tried il a few years they seem
10 like it. We all Of US have known n
good many Irishmen in this country.
There is not one OF them that is
not ready 10 fight and die in a
moment for the Green Isle. But
has any one ever heard of all the
millions who have come here, spent
few years and made comfortable homes
for themselves as whole while a great
many of them have made enormous for
tunes has any one ever heard of any one
OF these going back TO his native country
which is basking under all the delicious
enjoyment which free trade gives TO a
country. to make his home? Ii may be
said that Ireland is very poor, that it has
n surplus of population now. Admit
that; but if the rule which governs there
is 50 much better than the rule which
governs here certainly when an IriShman
in this country obtains a great fortune
and is aXious, as all business men are, to
increase that fortune, why should he not
go 10 country around which the
paterGal government has thrown SO
strong a protecting arm, and upon which
il has lavshcd so many blessings?

DISHONESTY FOUND OUT.
boston Journal

Some copies of the Mckinley bill have
lately made their way abroad. and our
European friends are discovering TO their
surprise and intense qualification that
the new law as t was described 70 them
and the new law as 10 actually stands are
two very different measures. Europe
accepted the statements of the foreign
importers i'm this country and their or
gans, and gathered the impression that
the new tariff, as such papers as the
Boston Herald put it, enormously in
creased duties all along the line. Trans
atlantic merchants who were assured
that the act was prohibitive, and that 10
would paralyZc commerce between the
old world and the new, are now
delighted TO find that they were hum
plugged, and that the effects of the law
have been grossly and incXcuSably eX-
aggeratcd. They have had their eyes
opened 20 the unScrupulOuSncsS OF the
tariff reform press and politicians as
never before The conservative FinOn-
cidl Times Of London voices the new
European sentiment when IL says that
the excessive popularity" Of the law
abroad was largely due to the exag-
gcration on the part of the American
democrats, who have spared no expense
or misrepresentation in raising oppose
ton to the scheme" This policy of
wholesale misrepresentation has done it's
work, but it ought TO sting the demo-
cratic leaders not little, in the very
flush OF their triumph, to reflect that the
diSreputable measures by which it was
achieved have won for the democracy
the contempt of honest men on both
sides of the ocean.

milwaukee, dispatch.l
William Clarke, President OF the She
boygan Electric Light and Power Com
pany, was robbed of SO, 500 in cash on
Wisconsin street at 715 o'clock in the
evening.
After supper he started to walk from
the hotel TO the depot, passing up Wis
consin street, the main thoroughfare OF
the city, and was passing an alley in the
block between Cass and Marshall streets,
and within half a block of the depot,
when he was stopped by two men. With
out word one OF them threw a handful
OF something in his face. Mr.. Clarke be-
lieves it was sand or dirt and before he
could recover from his surprise the other
had grabbed the sachel with the money
and the two disappeared down the alley
No one happened TO be in the vicinity at
the time and Mr.. Clarke ran down TO the
depot and gave the alarm TO the lone
policeman he found there. Together
they returned TO the scene Of the rob-
berry, but there was no trace Of the rob-
bers They then hurried 90 the Central
Police Station, where Mr.. Clarke gave as
good a description of the robbers as pos
sible, but that was very meager. One
of them he described as tall and wear
ing silk hat, while the other was short,
wearing a cap and otherwise shabbily
dressed.
Mr. Clarke, although much affected by
his loss Immediately started out with
TWO detectives, while half dozen other
detectives were started out on different
routes, but up 10 midnight not one of
them had reported a single clew that
might possibly lead TO an arrest. At
first some of the police authorities were
rather inclined 20 doubt Clarke'S story.
They could not believe sane man would
be travelling with so much cash about the
streets, and they thought, too, that it
would be but natural for a man TO make
an cutlery when robbed, which Mr..
Clarke admitted he had not done, but in
stead had rushed down TO tho depot TO
find policeman. But all doubt of Mr..
Clarke having the money was dispelled
late tonight when Mr.. Clarke attorney,
a leading lawyer of the city, was seen at
his home and admitted having identified
Mr.. Clarke at the Second Ward Bank
this afternoon that he might cash the
$50, 900 check. He had spoken TO Mr..
Clarke, he said about taking the entire
amount in cash, but Mr.. Clarke said he
had some bills % pay here and also a
Sl7, coo loan to pay at a Sheboygan bank.
Mr. Killelea further said that he had
known Mr.. Clarke for many years and
did not doubt for a moment that he told
the truth about the robbery. The only
theory he could advance was that some
one must have seen him draw the money
at the bank or had noticed the contents
of the sachel i'm some of the places
whore he had paid out money this after
noon.
Mr.. Clarke is the sole proprietor Of the
Sheboygan electric-light plant, which
represents an investment Of SEQ 900.

POLITICAL NOTES.

THE democratic party will, in the next
two years, have leaders enough to ac-
complsh the purposes Of its worst enc
mics.
TIE difference between Mr.. Mills and
the other democratic leaders is that he
frankly declares himself a free trader.
while they think as he does, but are not
honest enough to say so.
THE democratic papers are criticism q
Senator Carlisle because he failed 10 at
tend the Thurman banquet; and vet Col
Bill Springer made one OF the worst mis-
takes of his life by not doing likewise.
II the democratic senators are per-
mitted TO have their way MIR. Cleveland
will not be the next candidate Of their
party for president. However. most OF
them were against him i'm 1888. and still
he snatched the prize in spite of them.
THE total vote cast i'm Mississippi for
congressman was about 81, 900, the num-
Der of congressman elected being seven.
That is To say, congressman from that
state represents less than 5000 votes, by
reason mainly of the suppression Of suf-
fragc in the interest of the democratic
party.
II II odlu blldL MT. tdTllSle protested
against Mr.. Cleveland's celebrated free
trade message and urged that It be not
sent 20 congress. This is another proof
of the fact that the republicans always
benefited when Mr.. Carlsle's advice is
not taken.
THE Arkansas clergyman who says
that he Is unpopular with the democratic
leaders CT that state "for righteousness
sake only" may readily be believed. A
righteous man is the pet aversion OF men
who carry elections by stufiing ballot
boxes and assassinatiug opposition can
didates.

THE DEMOCRATIC GAME OF
TAG.
IChicago Inter ocean.l

A pretty game of tag is going on
among the democratic congressman who
are anxious To improve upon the example
Of Speaker Reed. So many Of these es-
timablc gentlemen have watering mouths
agape for the speakcrship sugar plum
that it is mournful TO consider how
many of them will have TO gulp down
the honey Of expectation into which has
been poured the gall OF disappointment.
But the amusing thing about this eager
contest is the studious silence Of the CON
testants. They go hustling around with
finger on lips like
Random thoughtcd men
Wrapped In the cloudy mantle OF their
dreams.
The trouble with them is the rivalry
between Cleveland and HILL II has got
into the convictions OF democrats by

ton. Recognizing the fact that Cleye-

ent spectacle of Free-trader Mills labor

salaams Of David Hill. Mills, of course,
believes that he has what is called, In
the picturesque vernacular OF his own
country, a "cinch" on the speakership,

the assumed right Of tho south TO dictate
who shall fill the coveted position.
While tho latter assumption may be
true, 10 seems going rather far In the
matter OF state supremacy TO cram the
question OF southern privilege inside the
boundaries of Texas, and there are some
very energetic people who have a notion
that Georgia is not altogether without
this sunshine of prcferment. There is
yet another faction of the democracy,
possibly deserving the term conservative,
that thinks the south is disposed 10 reach
for the lions share of the spoils, and
holds 20 the not unreasonable idea that
the northern democrats are also I'm this
little game OF tag. There is a strong
though not openly ayowed hankerlng
after the place by men whO account
themselves some pumpkins in the west
ern canp of the democracy.
Among them all, therefore, there IS
very lively and amusing little game that
republicans are watching with smiling
interest, waiting TO see whether or not
Fine-worker Hill will not contrive to get
turn on Cleveland after all. It's likely
enough, from the present status OF the
case, that Mills will be the man touched
by policy in this hOity-toity scramble. III
So despite his very ardent expressions
of devotion TO Cleveland, itmay be calcu-
lated with mathematical nicely that'the
strongest factor working the combina
tions i'm congress will be rather more
friendly To the nomination of Hill in '92
than to that of Cleveland. Success has
ratified the democrats, as it always does,

selfish anxieties of chief and petty lead

But its other side is what interests its
