MORNING APPEAL
PRESIDENTIAL ISSUE.

AOI bHO l. lCSIuSI1cy III 1897 VIII De
upon commanding issues. That
which will dominate with all
classes of American citizens must
inevitably bear with it the popular
vote. There is at present percepti-
BILE only one such issue. 1t is that
OF amending the laws which regu-
late and govern immigration and
naturalization. The tariff and
protection. reciprocity and free
trade, and everything connected
with the whole subject, will be
nothing more that incidental iss-
ues, each State to be guided by the
pecu lar industries and interests
OF It's people. Manufacturing New
England will advocate a tariff for
the fostering OF manufactures.
But 1t must be taken into account
that in many of the States-north. |
south and manufacturing |
is all the time growing in impor- |
lance. Hence the prevailing vote
OF the New England States will be |
so much fortified by the vote of
these emulating States in respect
to a tariff that shall make protec-
ton to manufactures. The people
of the producing States will, very
naturally, cast their votes in furth-
erance OF their own.interests. The
vote of the large cities will be ac-
cording to the influence and con-
troll of the local bosses in politics
without regard to national issues.
Jefferson was right in characteriz-
ing cities as scabs upon the BODY
polite in his day Since that time.
politics in cities have become a
nne art, in the sense that De Quincy
made murder one of the fine arts.
IL IS the vote of the country which
declares the popular sentiment,
Notwithstanding the vote of the n
cities may sometimes make the y
result, as New York made it in .,
1884, upon the senseless allitera- fl
ton OF the senile preacher who it
gabbed of "rum Romanism, and
rebellion" There is no political p
principle involved in the tariff. Tt
is simply a measure, and everv
community, every commonwealth, y
will adopt or reject tariff measures =
lgreeably to their own interest. =
The happy thought of the shrewd
politician who declared himself in
avor Of free trade, with incidental
'rotection-each industry and ~
interest to be protected by the or
arlt-made the convenient slid E.
lg scale for every class of voters. {

riff on everything else that is ger
squired. The tariff will not be a 0ul
istinctive party issue in 1892 as sta
was in 1883. civ
The question of money standard OF
whether gold and silver, accord cor

one, agreeably to act of Congress lad
will largely effect and influence con
lie popular vote III all of the I'm
ates. In the Atlantic States Of c. c.

New York, and in New England. the
most to a certainty. Silver will l ~
d strong advocacy in the States o,,r,
the North West, in the West met
d South, and in every one of the hae,
ates Of Ethe Pacific. Gold and rest
