10 may be thought proper to add to the
constitutional enumeration OF the federal
powers.
So clear headed a patriot and states
man as these paragraphs prove Mr.. JEFF
ferson to have been could not fail to see
the necessity Of protecting against for
eign competition the American mer-
chant marine. He did not argue with
Poindexter Dunn of Arkansas, that the
shipbuilders of the Clyde and the Elbe
should be allowed TO compete with those
of our own country and he stated his
reasons for belief in these memorable
words quoted from his report on COM
merce:
IL particular nations grasp at undue
shares of our commerce, and more especi-
ally IL they seize on the means or the
ment for their own strength and withdraw
them entirely from the support OF those
to whom they belong, defensive and pro-
tecting measures become necessary on the
part of the nation whose marine resources
are thus invaded, or it will be disarmed
of It's defense; its productions will be at
the mercy Of the nation which has posses
sed itself exclusively of the means of
carrying them, and its politics may be
influenced by those who command its
commerce.
1t was natural that i'm Jefferson's day
public attention should be devoted much
more than at present to the dangers OF
foreign war, and that Mr.. jefferson
arguments should be framed to fit the
warlike view much more than they would
at present. 1t is curious to note in his
letter to Thomas Leiper that the "Chi-
nese wall" argument was already used
by the enemies Of American industry:
have lately inculcated the encourage
ment OF manufactures to the extent OF our
OF which we raise the raw material. On
this the Federal papers and meetings have
sounded the alarm of Chinese policy,
destruction OF commerce, &c.
But trust the good sense of our country
will see that its greatest prosperity de-
pends on due balance between agricul-
ture, manufactures and commerce.
The explanation of Mr.. Jefferson's
views is one which should be gratifying
to Democratic pride did it not suggest
comparisons not flattering to the present
regime-he was statesman.

JEFFERSON A pRoTECTIoNIsr.

Wednesday was the anniversary OF
the birth Of Jefferson, and the echoes of
free trade oratory, dragging in the name
Of that illustrious patriot in support of
doctrines he would have been the first to
repudiate while living, have not yet
died out of Democratic newspapers. AS
"A wholesome and refreshing offset to the
reckless untruths inflicted upon suffer

TANGLED OUT OF TUNE.

The district Democratic conventions
i'm Boston and throughout Massachusetts
yesterday were like sweet bells tangled
out of tune aud harsh. The brooding
Buddha Of Lakewood had exercised his
psychic power from afar and the thought
waves came charged with the subtle
substance of tariff reform to most of the
districts, 80 that, like men dazcd and en-
chanted, the delegates nearly all chant
ed in unison: Great is Golden, and
Grover is his prophet and with suita-
ble salaams and genufiexions put on the
Cleveland yoke. Under the mysterious
spell most OF the conventions passed
Cleveland resolutions and sent approved
sensitives to Chicago.
In one district, however, the soul
waves failed TO produce their customary
effect, and an examination OF the
phenomena forms an interesting study
in thought transference. II seems that

NEW JERSEY.

Our Democratic friends who are still
vociferously claiming Rhode Island as
doubtful in November will do well to
turn the batteries of that peculiar
eloquence they reserve for States in the
dubious column upon New Jersey.
New Jersey has been reckoned pretty
surely Democratic Of late years, but
this was because the ring control of
Jersey City made it possible to count as
large majority from that unhappy
municipality as might be necessary or
pieasurabfe in order to offset the vote OF
the rest OF the State. In 1883, for ex-
ample, the Republicans carried New
Jersey outside Of Hudson county by
1,Os2, but Jersey City came gaily and
gallantly to the rescue with Demo
cratic majority Of s,231 and Cleveland
won and wore the State.
The election of Republican mayor
will put check to ring operations.
The ring appointees still control most of
the municipal departments, but Mayor
Wanser will have an eye on them, and
force them TO intermit good deal Of
their pernicious activity. 1t is in every
way likely that whatever majority Jer-
sey City may give for either party in the
autumn will be an honest one, and hon
estly counted, and this is ample war
rant for the assertion that as Rhode
Island steps out New Jersey steps into
the doubtful column.

differences in projecting his subtle IN
fuence into the gross and heavy air OF

renee, Brockton and Northampton,
and even at Cambridge. But in those
districts nearest the source OF the east
wind--in Lynn and South Boston, for
instance-there was much disturbance
of the aerial forces, and in the ninth, as
has been noted, where the ugly irrita-
bility caused by the east wind was most
noticeable, the influence Of the psychic
one went for nought and Hill delegates
were chosen after bitter fight, In which
the sensitives were worsted.
Cleveland is a good medium and he
will learn by experience. Hereafter in
launching his aural influence he will
take the East wind into account and
charge with special care his far Eastern
soul-waves.
