dodge almost all the silver votes, paired, mean
while. with a welt-known opponent OF free sill
YER coinage? And did he not on the final test
vote support the free coinage men in their
effort TO override the Speakers ruling adverse

Of the Governor Of New-York to pass on silver
LEGISLATION, would not the interest OF honest
money he safer in the hands of Fassett than OF
This Democratic dodger insanely eager for
Presidential nomination? And in view OF the
fact that in twenty-one States the Democratic
marty has declared In favor of free and unlim-
tied coinage while the Republican party, even
in the West, has consistently opposed 1t, will
not New York's influence work more effectually
for honest money as Republican State than as
Democratic one?
We put these questions to the Independents

If they can be logically answered except with
the assurance of Independent support for Mr.

charge that Mugwumpism is nothing else than

ent, presented by the Republican party.

For generation it had the advantage of slave
labor. while its rivals were embarrassed by free
labor upon which no dependence could be placed
When they began to import apprenticed Aslatcs
on large scale and to adopt the central-factory
system. Cuban planters profted by their e1-
perience and when emancipation was enected
in their own island they were fully prepared to
accept the new conditions. The development
of the beet industry in Europe forced them to
sell their sugar in the United States and as
soon As Reciprocity was made the condition OF
the continued enjoyment of the privileges OF
free market Spain complied with the require
ments. Cuba and Porto Rico, while already out
stripping in productive powers all their West
Indian competitors put together, are placed by
Reciprocity in favored position in the great
and almost the only remaining market for cane
sugar. Tho President is empowered after Janu-
airy l. 1892, to make discrimination against
other West Indian sugars, which will be abso-
lutely fatal to the British islands. England
having ruined an earlier generation OF COLONIAL
planters is in position to destroy the chief in
dustry Of its tropical islands by Withholding
Reciprocity.

FUTURE OF THE WEST INDIES

The West Indies are rapidly becoming COM
mercal dependencies Of the United States. in
the admirable compilation issued by the Bureau
of Statistics in relation to Southern trade the
aggregate exports from the islands in 1889 are
shown to be 81 o,63S,92S. OF this amount
SS3, 0O5 1917 was imported by the United States
and $50. 633.731 by maritime Europe The
future of the West Indies is thus revealed as
indissOlubly connected with the American mar
ket. The only islands which are independent
of that market are the French West Indies
whose exports are taken in large part By the
mother country. Hayti also finds greater
market for its exports in either France or Ger
many than in the United States With these
exceptions the West Indies are mainly dependent
upon the American market for the sale OF their
tropical produce
Their political connection with maritime Eu-
rope has not prevented their economic grayita-
ton toward the rich and powerful Northern
Commonwealth. Every year brings them closer
to their best market and renders them less do
pendent upon Europe. While their own i'm
ports are still largely drawn across the Atlantic,
the proportion of supplies received fIom the
United States is steadily increasing. Reel
procity with Cuba, if followed next wear by
similar engagements with the British West In
dies, will involve radical readjustment Of az.
changes in favor of the market where tropical

WHAT MIR. FLoWER STANDS FOR.

The Democratic candidate for Governor is
pledged if elected to administer the pubic al
fairs OF this great Commonwealth with an eye
single to the further aggrandizement OF lam
many Hall. This is a grave indictment to frame
against Mr. Flower, but it cannot be success
fully assailed. He goes into the canvass wear
ing Tammany's collar Tammany was his chief
hacker in the convention and we may be sure,
considering that she is the most grasping ana
corrupt POLITICAL organization that ever tourished
in this country, that she never would have con-
sented 10 give him her earnest and united sup
port il he had not given her the distinct assur-
ance that il she would be for him he would be
ior her. The citizens of New-YOrk who take
a patriotic pride in their State, who resent what
ever tends to belittle and degrade it, are con-
graduating Themselves as they reflect that David
B. Hills days in the Executive Chair arc num-
bered. But what reason is there to expect that
Flower if elected would be an improvement on
Hill in any important particular? Let every
voter who is bent upon securing wholesome and
progressive government ask himself that salient
question.
Hill has come to be known as Whiskey'S
Governor; and is it not fair to- assume that
Flower WOUlQ De as SuDSeTNleHO W VhO i"iA
power as Hill ever was? Hill has been accus-
toned TO rely for success in all his campaigns
for Office on the saloon vote. viii not Flower
court that vote as aSsiduously as Hill ever did
Hill has steadily fought the measures which Re-
pubicans have brought forward placing addi-
tional safeguards around the elective franchise
Is it probable that with Tammany as his master
-Tammany, which has made a record as an
enemy Of a pure ballot box Flower would be
any more OF ballot reformer than Hill has
been? Hill has been nothing if not a machine
Governor; that is to say, a Governor who uni
formly serves his party at the expense OF the
people Would boss-ridden Tammany permit
Flower to be any other sort of Governor?
In view of these considerations it becomes the
duty OF level-headed men TO stand together for
the defeat Of Flower. The simple fact is that
New-York cannot afford to elect him, since it
would be a most disastrous mistake for her to
allow Tammany to manage her affairs. In order
to understand what Tammany rule at Albany
would mean one has only to bear in mind what
her rule in this metropolis is and has been.
New-York under Tammany is and has been one
of the dirtiest and worstgOverned cities in the
world Whoever desires to increase her power
for evil will vote for Flower. For Flower must
make his appeal to voters as Tammanys man.

It is an interesting illustration of the way
Democratic officeholders regard public Office as
public trust which is furnished In the desertion
of Albany on tuesday and Wednesday by DEM
ocratic officials of high and low degree. Almost
to man they were in attendance on the con-
vention at Saratoga. Governor Hill, to be sure.
remained in the capital, but kept his attention
riveted on the telegraph wires. The city. county
and State officials generally suspended business
and oven the courts took vacation. Peanut
politics seems to have permeated Albany from top
to bottom.

fectly clear is that he viii oppose the ticket nom
mated at Saratoga with all his might His de-
nunciation of the men "behind the nominations

4 NEW STREEECLEANER.

MAYOR Grant has appointed Thomas S. Bren-
nan to succeed the unamented Beattie as Com
missioner of the Street Cleaning Department
biz, joval, kind-hearted Tammany Tom. From
the Wigwam point of view it is an ideal ap-
pointment Bosses and boys all love him. They
know where to find him. He is never out. IL
he could have his way everybody would get
up rich every morning and 20 to bed poor every
night. lie likes to help fellow being ont OF
a hole and the destitute have good reason for
gratitude to him. He has had long experience
in municipal administration. As Commissioner
of Charities and Correction he never made him
self odious to anybody, and when his successor
was appointed there was general feeling that,
local government being what it is, he ought to
have been retained if he wanted to be.
What sort of street-cleaner will Mr. Bren-
nan make? Well, in our opinion, he will clean
the streets just about as Tammany wants to
have them cleaned If Croker and Gilroy and
Grant think that at this particular junctuTe 1t
will be politically profitable to reduce the Tam
many percentage OF the appropriation we shall
doubtless see a sudden burst of zeal and activ-
ity. Pavements, cutters and sidewalks will
emerge to view and begin to put on a respectable
appearance Mr.. Brennan knows how to make
other persons work hard when he feels inclined.
lie can obey orders as well as any man, and
enforce orders better than most men. IF Tam
many wants clean streets we shall have them,
and from now on until Election Day the new
Commissioner will very likely 10 instructed to
make record.
