to the United States. one would be forced
irreSiStibly to the conclusion that nothing
but bare walls will remain III Nottingham
III few months time.
This shows how wise was the business
judgment OF the trainers of the tariff
law. They wanted the American peo-
pie to make their own laces, and the
item from Manchester indicates the de-
gree of success which has followed the
establishment of lace factories in the
United States; and no increase of price
has been made.
In Sorry Plight.
The great Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives is in sore
trouble. It is divided against itself
The Hill-Cleveland-Mil wing has re-
ceived a terribly black eye; and the
South and free silver wing is in the sad
die. The feeling of bitterness against
the Hill-Cleveland wing is illustrated
by the following dispatch, sent from
Washington two days before Crisp's
election, to the New York Times, a
strong Cleveland paper:
Gen. Villas, Don NJ. Dickinson. and.
later OIL. and III his own way, Senator
Palmer. have expressed the opinion that.
II the caucus should nominate Crisp for
speaker, the party might as we'll give up
all hope OF hereafter carrying anything in
the Northwest. The "disruption of the
Democratic Party III Illinois viii be but
part of great disruption. There is now
intense indignation among the Democrats.
who have been convinced that the Crisp
candidacy has been a scheme of marplots
like German and Hill to wreck the Demo
cratic party. and the lntimatiOn gwen to
some of the weak congressman. that they
would expose themselves to d Iaking at
home next fail if they presumed to Iun for
Congress. has led them to halt in their de
termination to support the candidate of
the Atlantic and Gulf states as against the
candidate Of the whole country.
But here is another dispatch-full of
| dispondency and even more significant
than the other-from Washington TO tine
st. Louis Republic, another Cleveland
organ:
The pressure from the outside is still
| very great. Cal. Bricc, who favOrS sub
sides. fat appropriations and high tariff
on the industries IN which he is interested
! has his agents here WORKING for Crisp
Senator Gorlaan is in active charge Of the
! Crisp forces. Tammany Hall and David
! b. Hall, OF New York, are squirting on
| Crisp'S followers. In fact, everybody who
has AN interest in the lobby. who favors
big appropriations and liberal steals and a
| rctrOgrade movement Oh tariff reform on
| ing Crisp. Senator Carlisle, a far-seeIng.
| prudent, conservative man, said last night
| that the election OF Crisp would cost the
! Democratic party 1000 votes at the next
national election. 1t is believed now that
! the danger point of Crisp is over, and many
Of his hackers, especially his chief Dackers,
| are still working with might and main,
| with every influence AT their disposition to
| defeat Mills. They know that the Texas
! statesman is the foe of lO0hery III every
| form, that he is the foe of tariff robbery. and
| that public plunder would have poor
! chance under his administration of the
| House of Representatives. But the co
hcsivc power of public pluEdcr Is very
! great, and consequently Mills friends are
| still apprchenSivc, though hopeful.
| SO We have it on the authority of Sen
ator Carlisle, "a far-seeIng, prudent
! conservative" Democrat-that the Dem
ocratS will lose 500 900 votes next year
| on account OF the election of Crisp. As
! the loss of SOC, 900 Democratic votes viii
| give the presidency 10 the Republicans
| beyond peradventure, the Republic
ans are especially thankful for the cleo
! ton of Mr.. Crisp. Five hundred thou
sand votes is great help i'll times like
these, and will put the Republican par
| tv square on its feet.
The editorial wall of the Newport
! Times, since the election of Crisp, Is in
! this pathetic language:
The election OF Mr.. Crisp by the coali
ton of the demagogy of Hill, the spoil 5
mongering of Tammany. the protectlo n
ism of German and Brice, the half-Corrupt
! Mathematical free silver movement and
! old South. must inevitably give pause 10
! the men who have believed that the Dem
! ocratic party would be tit instrumental
| ty for the accomplishment of tariff reform
| ana for the clean and honest admlnStra-
! ton of the government.
