HERAp SOMETHING DROP.

Is Grover Cleveland trying to hedge
on the silver question? He was inter
viewed in New York recently by a gen
tleman from Missouri, who gave the
report OF his interview to local
paper. Among other things Mr.. Cleve-
land is reported as saying: 'When
the law was passed providing for the
coinage of $4,000 900 monthly, /
feared the result, for thought it would
prove an injury to the business inter
ests OF the country for a time, at least.
However, the law proved benefit for,
contrary to my opinion, the country
was ready for the change. When the
present law providing for S4, 800, 900
per month passed, thought the meas
ure too radical and that it might have
the effect OF driving gold out of the
country, but in this / was mistaken,
and both those opposed to, as well as
those in favor of free coinage, believe
the present law a wise one, in so far as
that the country has been benefited
by it." While Mr.. Cleveland now
claims that he was incorrectly reported
and that the interview was greatly
embellished, it is apparent that he has
heard from the west and the south
and would like to let himself down
gradually to a position where it might

Recent events in New York have also
made it clear to Grover that his sup

tain character. Tammany Hall is
against him, while the envious and
ambitious Hill is ready to draw his
lance at the slightest provocation

1t is quite a common thing now for
some Bourbon free trade editor to
sharpen his pencil and then write: "If
free sugar is such a good thing, why
not take the duty of from blankets,
tinware, agricultural implements" and
numerous other things which he men
tions. Sugar is non-competitive ar
ticle, less than ten per cent OF the
amount consumed in this country be-
ing raised here. Germany placed a
tariff on sugar to encourage its manu-
facture from the beet and was emf
nently successful. II any considerable
number OF states in America were en-
gagged in raising sugar, the business
would be fostered by protection. The
removal OF the duty on sugar affects
no American industry. How the labor
ing men or the poor are going to be
benefited by the admission OF compet-
tive articles produced by the pauper
and ill-paid labor OF the old world is
hard to understand. When the labor
ing men OF this land are ready to ac-
cept the European standard OF wages,
then it will be time to remove the du-
ties from everything, and not until
then
