have fondly hoped, and tried to enforce,
by all the engines OF war within their
reach, thirty and more years ago. The
idea that such party-the nations de-

Cleveland in Oubtful state of Mind.
Candidate Cleveland is quoted by some
of his friends as being very doubtful as to
the result in November, and as being
wholly unwilling to accept the rosy views
of the rainbow chasing leaders of his party.
1t is entirely to Mr.. Cleveland's credit
as political observer that he feels as he
does. There is nothing in the situation to
encourage hope of Democratic victory.
Mr.. Harrison beat Mr., Cleveland when
the latter had the prestige and influence OF
the whole administration back of him.

Australia Wants Democratic Vie
tory in Order to Destroy the Amer
lean Wool Growers.
The Melbourne, Australia, Argus, of
May IA, 1892, has an editorial on the
political situation in the United States
and the approaching presidential election,
in which it is said:
As regards free trade, it seems that the
Democrats are inclined to alter their tao
tics, and instead of demanding wholesale
tariff changes to ask for the redress of
grievances in detail. The battle will rage
as before Gin 1889 about Australian wool.
The manufacturers are declaring that they
want Australian wool Democrats are
glad of this assistance, as they argue that
if the wooden manufacturers will help
them this campaign, the sheep farmers
will he on their side in reducing charges
(tarif on wooden goods) little later on
(at next election for members of con-
gress .. We are quite able to under
stand "the value to Australia of Dem
ocratic victory"
The last sentence should be pondered
by every American voter. Australia de-
sires the success of the Democratic party,
not for the benefit of the people Of the
United States, but for the advantage
Australians would thereby gain at the
expense, and to the injury of our Amer
lean citizens.
Democratic success means free wool,
and this means the ruin of the wool in
dustry in the United States, and this
means that lands now devoted to the
grazing of sheep must be employed in
producing more wheat, and corn and
oats, thus increasing the product and re.
ducing the price of these crops to our
farmer. 1t means still moro a reduced
demand, because sheep husbandry makes
demand for hay, corn, oats aud
other farm products. When We import
wool, We practically import the hay and
grain that produce it. The wool industry
is the only industry OF farmers not over
done, and the Democrats propose to take
this from them, and injure what remains.
The manufacturers who aid the Demo
Gratis in their demand for free wool should
take notice that the Argus foresees that
if the manufacturers force free wool on
'the sheep farmers" the latter will soon
demand and secure free WOODEN goods,
and thus wool growing and wool manu-.
featuring will perish by the same suicidal
policy of free trade. United we stand.
