TIE NEW PARTY GROWING.

The New National party is, as we anticipated,
rapidly increasing. THE TRIBUNE acknowl-
edges the receipt of one of its circulars accom-
panied by Declaration" and call for sig
natures and copy of letter published in "The
Boston Post" of November Is. The original
call. it may perhaps be remembered, was signed
by COMMITTEE of Six" and we said at the
lime that the chances were that the movement
would spread rapidly in the suburbs OF Boston.
The present circular is signed by a" Committee
Of Sevenn which proves that we were quite
within bounds when we said it would spread
rapidly, as, according to authentic records, the
movement began only last Saturday In less
than a week it has been found necessary to in
crease the committee.
The letter accompanying the call conveys the
impression that the "New National Party Is
intended to be in effect an organization OF what
Is left standing OF the somewhat incoherent ana
gelatinous substance that has been floating about
for few years past calling itself " Mugwump,"
but voting with great regularity the Democratic
ticket. Most of it has been absorbed in Democ-
racy. so-called, but it is believed that there is
enough of it lying around loose and unattached
to form new party; party differing from the
Democratic party in this particular that lnsteaa
of being an organized appetite" it Will be an
organized kick. The letter opens with the state
ment that "A Mugwump has the courage OF his
convictions and thrives under ridicule and
abuse" This. however, has not been our view.
From what we have seen of the Mugwump and
the Mugwump oracleS they have seemed to us
much more disposed to deal out ridicule and
abuse to others than to thrive under it them
selves. Still, that may be owing to the differ
ence in the point of view.
From the general tenor of what follows we
conclude that the objective point OF the new
party is the nomination Of Grover Cleveland
for President "Clevelandism and Democracy"
il saws. care two distinct things. The tendency
of the first is in the right direction, that OF the
second was shown IN the kind OF support given
to Cleveland's Administration" This is not 50
clear as it might be, but it will serve to show
what the new party is driving at. 1t is proposed
to organize a new Cleveland party. to be COM
posed solely of men who want to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket without being Democrats. In con-
cluson, the letter-writer says: $50 what is
there for Mugwump to do? Where can he
turn? There being no party in existence to adj
vocate the principles which he believes, he has
been forced to form The New Party"
So "The New Party" increasing with such
rapidty that in less than week it has had to
enlarge it's Committee of Six" to a" Committee
Of Seven" will, when it gets thoroughly organ
lied and well under way, nominate Grover
Cleveland for Pres dent, and, standing together
"take what comes" which, if it hopes to
4" thrive" will be "ridicule and abuse" The
next step, we presume, will be public dinner at
which some such Mugwump as Henry Waiter
son or David A. Wells will deliver addresses
on the present crisis.

trade since the new tariff went into effect tnouen

Europe not named share the loss. This country
is buying about 10 per cent less than 1t was
buying a year ago from foreign countries, ana
this means withdrawal of custom worth Sll'-

manufacturers and traders in Europe, ana par
ticularly in Great Britain, this change involves
disaster. With the greatest crops ever grown

dustries more completely than ever before this

and sugar with the other, and negotiations Ior
the two treaties we're conducted simultaneously.
Neither convention conflicts seriously with the
other, and each is basis for promoting diplo-
matte action with different groups OF producing
countries-the Brazil treaty for Reciprocity with
Venezuela. Mexico and Central American coffee
countries and the Spanish treaty with the British
sugar islands. The assumption that Secretary
Blaine in making the principal coffee treaty
promised that he would not treat with the lead
ing sugar islands imposes heavy tax even upon
partisan credulity.
The Reciprocity policy was limited and prac-
ticaly directed by Congress. 1t became the
plain duty of the Administration to put 1t into
operation. 1t was a practical business trans
action. and so far as Brazil and the Spanish
West Indies were concerned it was carried out
in direct, straightforward way. The CONNER
cial arrangements are mutually advantageous to
the United States and to the Southern countries.
Consumers and exporters profit on each side by
the removal of restrictions upon non-competlng
products. An actual gain OF over S1,OOO,OOO
in five months in the American export trade
with Brazil, and a prospective increase OF at
least $4,000. 900 a year with Cuba, are advan-
tages derived by the United States. On the
other hand, the shipments of coffee from Brazil
and of sugar from Cuba will inevitably be largely
expanded by Reciprocity. The policy is good
thing all around. There is no reason why any
body should get into state OF mind over it
that is to say, anybody outside England and the
alien "patriots'' who support her interests.

The Democratic Supervisors of Drtchess Coun-
ty have struck one serious obstacle in their eff
to reduce the number of Republican votes cast
for Senator namely, the Republican County
Clerk, who has refused to obey their commands
when ordered to perform illegal acts. Therefore
they purpose to lay charges against him before
Governor Hill, with the hope Of having him
removed from office. Of course, the removal of
an honest official on the fimsiest of pretexts is
something that Governor Hill would not hest
tate at if he could thereby forward the plan of
stealing the Senate. The Republican Super
visors at Poughkeepsie have promptly carried
into court the question Of counting certain dis
puted ballots. A decision in strict accord with
the facts will not, we trust, be looked for in
vain from Judge Barnard.

BRAZIL AND CUBA.

General Foster has been the diplomatic agent
of the Administration in the negotiation OF the
recent Reciprocity treaties. He has been c0gni-
zant of every step taken by the State Depart
ment in making the commercial relations with
Brazil and Spain. He asserts most positively
that no promise or assurance was given by Sec
rotary Blaine, or by any other person having
authority to speak on the subject. that Reel
procity arrangement would not be made with
Spain" Furthermore, he is satisfied " that Min
lister Mendonca has not made any such repre-
sentation TO his Government That unequivocal
denial of the charge that the Secretary of State
had pledged his honor to Brazil that no treaty
should be msde with Spain and then had been
guilty of shameless duplicity in breaking his
promise, scuttling out Of Washington getting
sick and saddlng upon the President and Cen
eral Foster the business of concluding the bar
gam, leaves ADglo-American journals in bad
way. It forces them to fall back upon private
information which has not yet been placed at
the disposal OF the "best thinkers"
The assumption that the State Department
pledged itself not to enter into Reciprocity ar
rangements with Spain does not merit serious
consideration. The Reciprocity amendment was
explicit in it's terms. 1t authorized the President
to close the free market for sugar, coffee and
hides after January 1, 1892. against any and
all countries which should neglect to enter into
equitable trade relations. Secretary Blaine in
opening the correspondence with Minister Men
donca Enclosed copy of the act and clearly
stated the purpose and scope of the Reciprocity
amendment II the Brazilian Minister did not
understand the comprehensive character of the
Reciprocity policy, it was certainly not from any
neglect on the part of the Secretary of State to
provide explicit information, as the correspond
ence shows on its face. Brazil produced little
sugar. but was the chief source Of the coffee
supply of the United States. The Spanish West
Indies had the largest export Of sugar to the
American market, but furnished very little coffee.
Coffee was the basis Of neRoiatiens with one

THE TROUBLES ABROAD.

Happily, the disasters and disturbances in
Paris and Berlin have as yet produced scarcely
a percertible effect in Newl0rk. 1t may be
well not to ignore these influences, for no one
can tell how soon they may make draft upon
American resources. We are sending to Eau
rope it is true, about $50 900, 900 month, in
value of products, more than Europe Is at pres
ent sending to this country. But Europe holds
many millions of American stocks and bonds
which can be returned hither whenever the hold
ers see fit and some will be returned whenever
there is serious monetary pressure abroad. In
Judging of the European situation 1t is therefore
important to remember that extensive disturb
ance on that side may at any time mean con-
siderabe sales of American securities here on
foreign account, and consequently smaller re-
mittances from Europe for brcadstuffs and cotton
exported
Americans have no part or lot in the struggle
between the supporters and the opponents Of
the Russian loan in France, and SO may take
with even more than a grain of salt much that
is said about the troubles of important banks
engaged in placing that loan. But apart from
this cause Of uncertainty, there is also weakness
of another sort. Some Of the great French banks
are heavily committed in connection with Bra
lillian credit, and the fresh disorders in that
country have caused sharp decline in the Sc
curities they hold. Othels have been engaged
in great speculative operations, and the failure
of crops in France, and the consequent depression
of industries and trade, have a serious effect
upon their resources. In Germany, the firms
which have recently failed appear to have been
mainly engaged in highly speculative business,
to say the least, and do not represent the more
substantial bankers Of the country. But the
commitments in connection with Russian loans
and the failure OF crops both have somewhat the
same influence as in France. 1t is probably a
mistake to assume that no concern in Germany
is strained or in trouble that is not rotten be-
cause of crazy speculative ventures No country
can lose large part of its crops without having
banking losses to be borne by somebody, and
in part, presumably, by concerns not of the
weaker or more questionable character
England has sustained less loss than other
countries in Europe because of Russian fnancier-
ing, and also relatively less than other coun-
tries because Of deficiency of crops, being ordi-
narily dependent to great extent upon supplies
from abroad. But England suffers moro than
