The Democratic papers appear
greatly worried over the fact that i'm
mense quantities of British capital is
finding its way to this country for in
yestment. 1t is well known fact
that had the free trade theories of the
Democrats been adopted. foreign CAPT
tai would have had no occasion to
cross the ocean seeking investment.
This is what alarms the Democrats, as
it shows that foreign capitalists have
given up all hopes of free trade eve
being adopted in this country. 1t il
evident that it is not the simple fact of
money being brought in for investment
that causes their alarm, for to day
English capital to the amount OF
$500, 900, 600 to SS0n, 900, 600 is invested
in American railroads and this without
creating any alarm. Americans run
the railroads and Americans will con-
troll the British capital being invested
in other enterprises. -Che6. Tribune.

Lansing, April 6.-The publication
of the weekly crop bulletins OF the
Michigan weather service have been
resumed. The mean daily tempera-
ture of the past week was LIE below
the normal. The average total rain
fall and melted snow was 0.85 inch, or
0. 20 inch above the average. There
has been the average amount of
sunshine which has had favorable
effect upon growing crops. While the
weather conditions for the week have
been favorable to crops. wheat and
clover have not commenced to grow
much as the cold weather of the latter
part of March has retarded their
growth. Many fields were, on the
Sd instant, covered with a light layer
Of snow which has, at this date, disap-
peared in the southern and central
sections, but fields In the northern
section are still well protected from
the freezing and thawing of the first
days Of this month. Flowing Is now
progressing in st. Joseph county, and
the fruit trees In the southern portion
Of the state are reported as beginning
to show signs Of budding.

1t is not too sti ong statement Of
the case to say that the proposition
pending before the country to-day is,
whether our form of government shall
be entirely destroyed, whether the
civil compact of majority rule shall be
abolished and whether Republican in
situations shall be wiped out and in
these Southern districts white plu-
tocracy prevail. 1t is equally true
that the mission of the Republican
party will never end until every man,
white or black, rich or poor, learned
and unlearned, has the protecting
egis of the American constitution and
laws thrown around him. The mis-
sion of that party will never end until
every man, everywhere, is as free at
the ballot-box in the exercise of his
suffrage and in voting his convictions
as he is in the freest part of this great
country of ours.-Ne,o York Press.

Everything The farmer BUYS Is tax
% TO death" b az assertion that price
lists Of American and English markets
and tho American tariff list show 10 be
non warranted by the facts. A list OF
things the farmer wants would be q
long one. but the Press printed such a
list on August 8. 1888 and showed
that the principal articles in II are as
cheap here as in England because of
the development of home manufacture
and home supply by protective duties.
The higher the duty. the greater the
alleged tax. the greater the domestia
production and the cheaper the article.
In further proof of this the Press has
printed from time to time the annual
statistics of the imports of Canada,
showing that that country buys 81
per cent. of its brass goods. 80 per
cent. Of its copper goods, "a per cent.
of its cordage. SO per cent. of its ging-
hams, 65 per cent. of its glass, 80 per
cent. OF its rubber. "a per cent. of it's
carpet, 90 per cent. of its manufac-
turers of WOO I. 81 per cent. of its tin
ware, and all of its binding attach
ments. grain drills. hay straw and
spading forks, harrows, harvesters,
moving machines, rakes and reapers,
81 per cent. of its hoes, "a per cent. of
its plows, 81 per cent. of its scYthes,
and 63 per cent. of its spades and
shoveis from the United States. These
figures, even allowing for export dis
counts, shows that protection has
made everything the farmer buys
cheaper than it would be If the AIneri-
can sources of supply had not been
developed by protection. -Neio York

The defalcations of Southern Demo
cratic treasurers make the stealiugs OF
the carpet-bag regime. about which the
Bourbons have groaned for years, look
small by comparison. The state
treasurer of Alabama. Tennessee, Mis-

souri, and Maryland are all in the same
boat. Perhaps Bourbonism isn't any
more honest than carpet-baggery, il

The investigation of the Democratic
frauds in Hudson county, New Jersey,
still continues apd last week rich de-
velopments of Democratic rascality
were unearthed. In one precinct the
poll list showed III names of voters
who had not been registered, and in q
number of other precincts a greater OF
less number Of unregistered men cast
votes. In q number of precincts
number of names. appeared on the
poll lists twice. showing that the Demo
Gratis had voted ''early and often. '
The investigation has clearly shown
that Democratic supremacy has been
