OF Course Free-Traders Will be
Democrats


People of high or low degree, if
they are in sympathy with Free
Trade, will find no congenial place
within the lines of the Republican
party. Mugwump station was for
several years a sort of convenient
halfway tarrying place for those
nAolNeve- in the@ ansltion-state-te
Democracy. Now, however. since
the Democratic party has thrown
off all its masks and declared Pro-
lection unconstitutional and a fraud,
those Free Trade advocates find
their true places in that party.
One of the best men that could
have belonged to any political or
ganization was the late George Will
liam Curtis. He did the most effect
i've work of his life in behalf of the
Republican party. But he was a
firm believer in and advocate of
Free Trade; and when the economic
policy became the issue he supported
the Democratic candidate, as was
natural and right that he should.
We repeat what we said at the out
set; that Free Traders will not find
the Republican party congenial !;
and it is only natural and to be ex-
pected that they should ally them
selves with the Democratic organiza-
ton, where they naturally belong.
We therefore believe that Mr.. Nc
Weigh, as good a Republican as he
may have been in former times, will
find the Democratic party more
congenial to him because of his Free
Trade belief. At the same time
there will be dozens of accessions to
the Republican ranks, because of it's
policy of protection to American in
dustries, where there is one desertion
like the above.

Cleveland Against the Democracy,

While Mr.. Cleveland declares in his
letter of acceptance az ainst free trade
and asserts that it is impossible, the
Democratic National Congressional
Committee, which, if anything can,
certainly represents the Democratic
policy, continues to send out the rab-
id free trade documents of Henry
George, accompanied with his propo-
sition to abolish all private owner
ship in land.
Thus the whole Democratic field on
the tariff to catch the ear of the
manufacturers, and the Democratic
Committee plows with those who
stand in all things on the borders of
Communism and declare for "pure
free trade" for "real free trade" de-
nounce even a tariff for revenue, and
advocate through the circulation of
Henry Georges essays the termina-
ton of all private ownership in land.
Again, Mr.. Cleveland argues in
favor of honest money, where every
dollar is equal to every other dollar;
when, at the same time, the platform
on which he was nominated declares
for the full reinstatement of wildcat
banking which once before threatened
the financial system of the country
with utter ruin, and stalked like a
pesti,ence through private fortunes.

A World of MOurnerS.

When America lost Longfellow,
Emerson, Lowell and Whittier, the
English-speaking people beyond the
ocean stood as mOurners at the
graves. Now that Tennyson, the
English poet whose name was most
often linked with those of Longfellow
and Whittier, has succumbed to
death, America stands on a line with
the most devoted friends and admir-
ers of the poet in his own land. No
English man of letters is nearer to
the hearts of the people of this coun-
try than Alfred Tennyson.-Chicago
