LOVE THEIR NEIGHB0RS
Very Much Better TIL an
They Do Themselves;
SACRIFICE AMERICAN INDUSTRY;
Then Will the Golden Era of Free
Trade. True Democracy and
Poverty Begin.

ALBANY, Oct. 3l.-The Argus will
print tomorrow a lengthy interview
with ex.Presidont Cleveland on the
political situation. In 1t Mr.. Cleveland
says, In part: ~ am sure there never
was n public question discussed more
thoroughly and more intclligently than
the subject of tariff reform by demo-
cratic advocates. This may perhaps
suggest that II the democratic position
on this issue is the correct one, there
should be immediate and ready acqui-
escence on the part of the people; but
the judgment Of our countrymen has
been so tralnmeled and their perceptions
so clouded by prejudice and appeals to
self interest that their prchension of
the true province OF our govern ment has
been distorted and they have for years
been led to believe that tho conduct of
public affairs might properly minister
to their profit, not by securing general
prosperity, founded on principle, but by
giving direct advantage TO certain
classes.
THE SELFISH PEOPLE.
ut Is certainly true that in such self
iish operation the interests of some of
the people must be neglected. The pro-
test on the part of these has been stihed
by the most arrant deception and
cajolery. At last, however, these
neglected ones are aroused, and in spite
of the clouds of Misrepresentation and
delusion which surround them they
begin to soc light. Our agriculturists
and others, whose interests have been
disregarded, while advantages have
been accorded to n favored few, are not
to be much longer deceived.
~ am confident we shall secure q
majority in the next house of repre-
sentatives. L can not forget how
laboriously reform must move, which
must break through selfish interests,
strongly intrenched and unscrupulously
asserted, and overcome abuses long
suffered and arrogantly maintained. /
believe all our gains must be the result
ofa hard struggle against these odds.
1t Is not, however, possible that n COM
plete triumph of the peoples cause can
he much longer delayed.
HOPES FOR TRUE DEMOCRACY.
"The effective incubation of whole
some doctrine, which characterizes the
democratic press through the discussion
now going on in every part of the coun-
publican party to secure its perpetuation
in power through reckless snactments
which stite the results of the people 8
suffrage, its brutal methods of legisla-
ton, and, above all. the positive dis
tress daily threatened our people under
the operation of new and iniquito US
tariff law, u law which not only en-
hances the cost of the nscossaries of life,
but fosters the extortons of trusts and
combinations, make certain the advent
of u freer and better time anu the as
cendancy of truo democracy.
LOYAL TO FREE TRADE.
"Whatever the near results may be,
am not at all afraid that the zeal of the
party will flag, or that encouragement
will in the least dampen its ardor or
lessen its aggressiyeness. The demo-
cratic party is thoroughly united and
has planted itself on democratic princi-
Piles. IL will not abandon its sacred
cause, hut Will continue to warfare until
| 1t achieves complete success. The party
that knew no encouragement IN 1883
| will not wayer nor falter in 1890"
