Mr.. Cleveland is finding out. In

he asks the vote of the Irish, and he
is surprised to learn that they do not
like him. The fact is, that, even if
he had never cursed them, Cleveland
is a little too English in his ideas 10

ENGLAND AND OUR ELECTION.

A Republican victory at the polls
in November would be a blow to the
free trade party in the States, and
would retard for q considerable
period the progress of those sound
commercial and economic doctrines
which underlic British commercial
greatness and alone maintain British
commercial ascendency.-FrOm the
London Ecenug Ne~S and Post June
II, 1892.
IL the face of such evidence it is
strange how an American can resist
supporting the Republican doctrine
Of protection. But it seems that
Democrats hate American goods,
they clamor for foreign goods. They
are q good deal like the rich Ameri.

lives to regret the day the sale took

and has placed 2j3 dutiable articles
