The democratic party seems inclined
to abandon the road which is sure to lead
to success, or rather that section which
always favored protection and still favors
it, affects to perceive danger in fearless
advocacy of tariff reform. After the cleo
ton of 1890 there was hardly state la
the union which could be counted as
safely republican. With the exception
of Wisconsin this condition of affairs was
due IN every state to dissatisfaction with
the tariff policy of the republican party.
1t should not require any great degree of
political shrewdness to perceive that an
issue which WIS SO overwhelmingly sue
cessful in 1890 would be an excellent one
on which to conduct a campaign two
years later, particularly when conditions
are unchanged and grievances are unre-
dressed. The republicans, who showed
disposition to change their tactics under
pressure of disaster, have closed up their
ranks and again appear as the champions
of high protection. The issue is made
for the democrats if they choose to ac-
cept it. Directly after the elections of
1890 the fear was prevalent among demo-
Gratis that the republicans would learn
wisdom through their defeat and refuse
to longer advocate what the people so
empatically repudiated. But when the
defeated party retained its position the
victors are undecided whether it is not
wise for them to change the policy which
brought them victory.
The suggestion that German be SUBJ
stituted for Cleveland in 1892 is practical
ly advising an abandonment of the tariff
issue. Up to The time Cleveland wrote
his famous tariff revision message the
democratic party seemed to be fearful of
a pronounced utterance on the subject.
There was degree of ambiguity in every
authoritative party statement on the
matter which checked enthusiasm within
the party and prevented accessions to it
from thase who desired clear and I'M
equivocal declaration of faith Cleveland
made the issue clear and committed the
party to decided line of policy. Disas-
ter followed because of that ever-c!inging
fear TO quit well beaten paths. But when
the people had time for sober reflection
they perceived the wisdom OF that which
they had hastily condemned. Put the
victory of 1890 against the reverse of 1888
and then decide what Is good politics.
There are just as good democrats as
Cleveland is. There are many, any one of
whom would make as able president as
he. There are none who represent the
idea of tariff as aggressively and as fully
as he does.

TIE huildipp of the yhalebacks with

THE building of the whalebacks with
the certainty that they can be used for
ocean and lake navigation has given in
terest to the discussioa of canals. There
can be no doubt that within few years
freight will be shipped to Europe from
ports on the great lakes without break
ing bulk, or at least without breaking
bulk more than once. The route which can
over competing lines. The st. Lawrence
River. at present, appears to be the most
feasible commercial path. Breaking bulk
at Buffalo and again at some seaboard
city would be a slow and expensive mode
of transportation compared with the un-
interrupted passage offered by the st.
Lawrence. The st. Lawrence can hard
ly be called navigable stream from its
mouth to its source In the lakes. 1t has
many rapids which are an obstacle to un-
interrupted navigation. But the import
ance OF the st. Lawrence will be so great
ly enhanced by the possibility of it's be-
ing a continuation of an oceanic line that
it's improvement to meet new conditions
may be assumed as matter of course.
A continuous waterway capable OF
meeting the demands of Enlarged CON-
merce and wholly under t.io control OF
the United States, will be oae OF the ne
cessities of the near future. The sea
board cities which now do large export
trade will have to surrender it to some
favored Canadian city unless they have
facilities equal to that offered by the st.
Lawrence. The proud title OF the me-
tropolis OF the New World may be wrest-
ed from New York and by some city
other than Chicago, unless New York be
given connection with the great lakes
greatly superior to the almost extinct
Erie canal.

The immense harvest of this year and
the movement of grain toward Europe
will prove a good thing for lake craft.
Freights have already gone up in anticl-
patton OF the grain movement. 1t is es-
timated that Duluth this fall will ship
200 cargoes of grain each averaging 1900
tons. This will furnish business for a
large number of vessels and make very
fair season of what has thus far been a
very Door one.

IT is said, on seemingly good author
ity that g. W. Pratt of Oshkosh is work
ing with view to being elected U. S.
senator should the next Wisconsin legis-
lature be democratic. Pratt has perfect
right to be a candidate. But for the
democracy OF the state to select him as a
fit representative of the state in the Z. S.
senate would be such piece of folly that
its probability is not worth considering.
Pratt's political methods are not such as
to commend him to the people as man
worthy Of such high honor, Wisconsin
is great state and has maintained its
reputation as such in both houses OF the
national legislature. 1t is under no ne
cessity, because Of scarcity of good ma
terial, of putting forward such pinch
beck statesman as the Oshkosh hustler.
