The Mask Is Thrown Aside.

A very large number of good peo-
pie voted for Mr.. Cleveland at the
last election because they believed in
of tariff reform" Others, again,
like Mr.. William Steinway, believed
in protection, but did not 60 so far
as the Mckinley bill, and SO they,
too, voted for Cleveland. Others
wanted free raw material, but protec-
ton for our manufacturers, and they
voted for Cleveland.
Previous TO election we steadily
contended that whatever all these,
no doubt sincere, people desired, if
the Democratic people got into power
it meant Stree trade" and nothing
else, because the Democratic party
was ruled by the Southern or radical
wing, and that was for "free tradeS'
pure and simple.
At the dinner given to President
elect Cleveland by the Reform Club
in New York, and at which all the
Democratic leaders, including Henry
George Out excepting Mayor elect
GilrOy and eX-Mayor Grace, were
present, Mr.. Tom Johnson, Of Ohio,
arose and said:
"Thele has been enough Of the
parrot cry, Tariff reform, but no free
trade. 1t is now time TO think OF
cOnciiating free-traders. The radical
wing is on top. 1t will be swelled by
the free-traders of the Populist
party; by free-traders whom the pres
tige and memories Of the Republican
party have hitherto held to it; by
men who till now have distrusted G
Democratic party because Of that
element Of protection that has so
often hampered its organization and
paralyzed its councils. A great idea
is again beginning TO move in Amerl-
can politics. We need not fear the
free-trader or the single-taxer. The
man whom the Democratic party has
TO fear in its councils is the sugar
coated protectiOnist. Duty and policy
require us TO strike quickly and
hard"
Mr. Johnson with injudicious hon.
esty has let the cat out of the bag.
So that Republicans claimed all along
is true. Tariff reform" was only "a
parrot cry" And as "the radical
wing is on top" it is "free trade"

SITTING ON THE FENCE.

A Republican paper remarks
that "it is good to sit on the
fence for a while and see the
fun go on. In order to enjoy
this sort of a thing, the person
who sits on the fence should
have a sound constitution and
a good digestion. He can OBJ

Failure of the silver Conference.

The International Silver Confer
ence will adjourn without coming to
any conclusion relative TO the wider
use OF silver as money. 1t did not
meet under the favorable auspices
which appeared when it was called.
The most unfavorable change was i'm
Great Britain. This conference was
proposed by this Government after
Secretary Foster had had an inter-
view with the financial head Of the
British Government, Mr.. GOschen,
who is bimetallist, in which the
latter held out flattering induce
ments which would doubtless have
been realized in the conference if
the Tory Ministry had not been
overthrown in the elections last Au-
gust and succeeded 10y the Liberals,
who are welded to the single gold
standard. Consequently, instead Of
being represented in the conference
by men who were in sympathy with
the report of the royal commission
favoring wider use Of silver as
money, Great Britain sent delegates
imbued with the idea that the Unit
ed States would assume the burden
of free-silyer coinage and thus re-
lieve that nation Of any share in the
responsibility. That was the most
potent factor in the failure of the
conference. 1t is probable that the
meeting Of the conference after the
defeat OF the administration which
proposed il detracted to some extent

from the United States, but the fail
ure, after ALL is largely due to the
attitude of the British delegates
The British delegates, and, indeed,
all the European delegates,
have labored under the impress
sion that the American people are
in favor Of free coinage OF silver and
will adopt it when it finds that Eu-
ropeans nations will not assist in the
matter. They are unable to clearly
comprehend the situation in this
country. They cannot realize that
such change Of sentiment has taken
place in the past year, that, ina House
that would have passed free-coinage
bill by large majority, a majority
could not now be mustered for it.
They seem unable to realize that
President Harrison will be succeeded
by Mr.. Cleveland, who would veto a
free coin lge bill. The only policy for
the United States is to put itself up
on the same basis as Great Britain
and European governments by repeal
ing the sherman act requiring the
purchase of "a, 200, 900 ounces a year,
anu prohibiting the further coinage

House Divided Against Itself.

Within a few days of each other
the heads of the two great political
parties made publication Of their re-
spective positions on all the leading
issues before the people. President
Harrison put forth his annual address
to Congress, while President-elect
Cleveland made speech at the ban
quet rendered him in New York by
the Reform Club. What a contrast!
There is not line in President Har-
risons address that does not ring
with the clear utterance OF the man
of principle and conviction. There
is not a line in President-elect
Cleveland's speech that cannot be
made TO mean anything and every
thing-on most important points it
is an evasion of the issue, and on the
points that it does not cvade it is ST.
lent. Why? Because the Demo
cratic party is united on only one
issue-oppoSition to the Republican
party. 1t has no policy of its own
on anything, that is, no policy with
regard TO which the party is a unit.
1t is to-day, now that it has acquired
power, a house divided against itself,
and "the house divided against itself
shall not stand"

Struggle for the senate.

1t is probable that the Republicans
will retain control OF the United
States Senate, but the Democrats
will spare no effort to prevent this,
Mnd to that end are making most
determined fight to control the legis-
latures of Montana, Wyoming, North
Dakota, Idaho and California, ac-
cording to the Omaha Bee. The
Democratic National Committee has
taken hand in the matter and will
provide both influence and money in
order 10 capture the legislatures OF
those States. There was gathering
of Democratic leaders in New York
with particular reference To this con-
test, and il is understood TO have
been arranged at the time to reopen
the Democratic headquarters If 1T
should be deemed necessary to give
proper support to the Democrats in
the States where there is conflict.
Meantime the Republicans in the
States named are active and deter
mined TO maintain their rights by
every lawful means at their COM
mand.
The greatest interest centers upon
Wyoming and Montana, and 1t must
be confessed that the situation in
these States is seriously complicated.
The claim that the Legislature of
the former State is Republican on Il
fair and square vote seems TO be well
founded, but it cannot be said that
there is no ground for controversy.
The Democratic position there has
been weakened by the uSurping action
of Osborne, the candidate of that
party for Governor at the last cleo
ton, and which the party, Of course,
indorses. The installation of Il
Governor-e should take place in
January, but Osborne took possession
of the Office in the State House by
force and issued proclamation as
Governor, his purpose being 10 control
the action Of the canvassing board.
This proceeding illustrates the desper-
ate determination Of the Democracy
of that State. In Montana the
contest rests upon the fact
that the Democratic canvassers
threw out one district on the
BIOuIlu Ol dllcpeu DTlpcIy Vi NOlcIS,
action which it is claimed they had
no right whatever to take. The
courts have been appealed to, but
here again there is conflict regard
ing jurisdiction. AS to North DakO-
TIA the Republicans claim a safe ma
jority on Joint ballot. The Demo
cratic managers are also taking an
interest in the Kansas and Nebraska
Legislatures, though it is compare
lively slight. The fact that a Demo
cratic national administration is COM
ing into power gives the Democracy
an advantage whore legislators may
be bought. 1t is charged that Re-
publican mcmbers-elect of the North
Dakota Legislature have been offered
offices under Cleveland if they would
desert their party, and it is by no
means improbable that this has been
or will be tried elsewhere. 1t is pos
sible, also, that it will not every
where be unsuccessful. At any rate
the Democrats will stop at nothing
that promises to give them control Of
the United States Senate after March

What Free Trade Leads To.

If the policy of free trade were not
having practical application in our
own time, if its results were not per-
fectly plain to us all, it might be pos
sible TO explain the action of our far
mers, especially in the West and
South, at the last election, on the
ground that they had been misled by
the sophistries of the Democratic
leaders and press. But we have in
England to-day practical applica-
tion of the free trade policy and a
demonstration Of its results, especial
ly 20 the farmers.
In our news column we have al
ready given an account of the great
farmers convention just held in En-
gland, at which the terrible condition
of the country's agricultural interests
was shown and a demand for prOtec-
tion made amid the wild enthusiasm
of the delegates present. The Re-
publicaus have told the farmers that
protection helped them. We can un-
deistand how the farmers, with that
peculiar perversity which belongs to
them, would say: you are mistak-
en-, prejudiced. We can do better
with free trade" so long as there was
no actual evidence to 60 by, but we
cannot understand how they can say
this with the entire farming interest
of England exclaiming to the world:
1--WE are being ruined by free trade!"

Wildcat Currency.

Besides the bill to reimposc the
tariff on sugar, Congressman Harter
has introduced a bill providing for
the revival OF State banks of ISSUE
This ought to do away with the delu-
sion of those Democrats who voted
the party ticket only because they
did not believe that the return of
wildcat currency was a possibility.
These men have become so accus-
toned To good Republican money
during the past thirty years that they
were quite confident that wildcat
currency was now an impossibility.
But the men who had inserted i'm the
Democratic platform the recon-
mendation that the tax of 10 per
cent. on State bank currency be re-
pealed knew what they wanted, and
they propose to get it. Southern
Democrats regard that. tax as a griev-
Gus infringement of their sacred
principle OF State sovereignty, and
when they are in control they will do
their utmost TO bring about its
prompt removal. The taxed break
fast table and the bank-bill detector
are among the blessings to be looked
for from Democratic rule.

Divided Responsibility.

A good many Democrats would like
to see the Republicans organize the
next Senate. In this way part of the
responsibility for the harmful legisla-
ton that is looked for In the earlier
half OF Cleveland's administration
could be laid on the Republicans. On
the other hand, many Republicans
would be pleased to see the Demo-
Gratis in control of the Senate, so that
responsibility could not be shirked.--

MOVEMENTS OF THE MILITARY.
Drills of the First Regiment and Blues
Last Night.

The annual distribution Of prizes at the
Regimental Armory. which was to have
taken place last night. was postponed, as
the medals ordered have not yet been COM
pleted. The regiment, in the presence of
a large number of spectators, including
nearly O hundred ladies, was drilled by
Colonel Jones. The organization pre-
sented an excellent appearance, and the
concerted movements OF the various CON-
panles we're we'll executed.
The Richmond Light Infantry Blues last
night held their first monthly inspection
since November last. The company was
commanded by Captain Sol. Cutchins, who
drilled them by the new tactics recently
adopted. Quite a large number of ladies
were present and frequently applauded
the infantrymen as each command was
promptly and well executed. The band
was present and entertained the large CON-
papy with some choice music. Among the
numerous selections rendered none were
more thoroughly enjoyed than The
Blues' March," composed and dedicated to
the company by Professor j. Emory Shaw,
who is well aad favorably known in this
CITY. Much regret was expressed concern
ing the new drum-major's inability TO ex-
hibit some of his numerous accomplish
mepts with the baton owing to an accident
TO his hand. After the drill those assem-
bled enjoyed the pleasure of the dance,
which was participated In by many OF the
pretty girls and their escorts.
