The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-10-08


in his rink speech In this city that
Americans would not go far wrong II
they saw what England wanted and
then do the contrary thereof. deiiv-
cred a whole essay, OF incontroverti-
BILE truths, England wants America
to have free trade. because it would
be 10 her advantage and to the injury
of America. She never did want any
thing yet that was to tho advantage OF
America, but not being able TO enforce
iall her desires she had to put up with
what she got. England wants the
election OF Grover Cleveland because
he is in favor of Just the kind of free
trade that England is in favor OF, a
tart n for revenue only. II Cleveland
and Harrison were running In England
for the Presidency of the United States
Harrison would stand no chance what
ever.
Ever since Grover Cleveland and his
free. trade following showed England
how her interests In America could be
advanced by the triumph Of the princi-
pies advocated by them, our Presiden-
tial elections have attracted great
deal OF attention on the other side Of
the water. The unanlmity OF English
opinions in reference to American poll
tics is the most remarkable feature in
connection of the newly awakened in
terest in our Presidential contests
There is not newspaper in England
that has a good word to say for Presi.
don't Harrison and the party OF pro.
lection. On the other hand all tho
English newspapers join In praising
the candidate and policy OF the FREQ.
traders.
The Westminster Review, is one OF
tho leading publications OF England,
and is supposed to reflect leading Eng
lish sentiment. In the September
humber. tho Review, ON an article on
The Presidential Contest" has fault
to find with President Harrison and
says he has made many mistakes
chief among them it says was the
sending OF Mr.. Egan us Minister to
Chill. That in English opinion was a
mistake, because Mr. Egan was an
lrishman, Englishmen MS Is well
know having no respect for Irishmcn
until after They remove TO America and
vote for free trade. ..
j But the other reasons why President
Harrison should not be elected, the Re
view proceeds to lay before its readers,
and it does this by instituting a com
I, Iparisnn between the two Presidential
candidates. We are told" says the
Review, that when Mr.. Cleveland
made up his mind that free trade was
the better policy for the country t.
lpursUc he boldly announced his view;
in 4 public document" This counts {
