4 TOOTSY WOOTsY CAMPAIGN.

Let it be a campaign of principle, say
Republicans and Democrats alike, this
year. They said the same four years
ago, and, so far as Republicans were
concerned. the fight was made on princi-
pies. Democrats devoted themselves
largely to inconsequent matters and to
''Baby McKee," Neither Mr.. Harrison
nor his friends wei obtruded his family
or his family affairs into public notice.
The Democratic press and Democratic
spell binders were entirely responsible
for the prominence given to the infant.
Having discovered thar the Republican
candidate had an affection for his grand
child the Democratic newspapers made
up for their lack of ideas and want of
legitimate campaign ammunition by
foolish talk about Baby Mckee. If the
public grew tired of him it was
no fault of those most concerned in the
boys welfare. This year the Demo-
cratic end of the campaign seems likely
to be conducted on the same ~infantile
plan, with the difference that Ruth
Cleveland will be the object of attention
and that fatuous a6ulation will be the
order of the day, instead of sneers and
ridicule. The first evidence of this was
in the Cincinnati Enquirer's baby-talk
head lines, a few days ago-a demon
stratlon at which even strong DamO-
cratic stomachs reyolted. A later indi-
cation was the appearance of a silver
safety pin worn as a Cleveland badge at
Chicago by such party dignitaries as
Governor Peck. of Wisconsin. Now
come innumerable pictures of the infant
in the Democratic press, where she is
sometimes accompanied by her moth
er, but is usually in the society
of q nurse. The latest develop
ment of this plan of campaign
is O picture in the New York World of
"Ruthie's calf" an animal which is rep
resented as being tethercd by q rope in

BAD DEMOCRATIC BREAK.
The Foolish Assertion that . Protective
Tariff IL Unconstitutional

The Foolish Assertion that q Protective
Tariff IL Unconstitutional
Philadelphia Inquirer.
We think il possible that there are q few
Republicans who might have voted for
some other Democrat than Mr.. Cleveland.
But why any Republican. after having
voted against Mr.. Cleveland twice. should
now vote for him is beyond our compre-
hen..on. especially after the fiat-footed
declaration OF the platform that q pro.
tective tariff Is unconstitutional. This last
declaration Is an absurdIty. and shows
how little the Democratic party knows
about the Constitution or the history Of
the country.
One of the first acts passed by the First
Congress was q protective tariff law. The
act was drawn by Madison, himself, who is
Justly called the father OF the Constitution.
and may be supposed TO know what the
Constitution meant In fact. during the
produced In Congress all the essential
arguments that have since been add uced
on either side. 1t was debated long and
passed by a very large majority. In The

measure is not only TO produce
revenae. but 10 stimulate home indus
tries. Among the articles upon which q
protective tariff was laid we're manufact-
ures of iron and steel. paper. leather man.
ufactures, wool and cotton cards, cotton,
hemp and coal. Professor Schouler. one of
the most eminent of American historians,
particularly as to this period, says: There
was no talk of tree trade. None of the
tariff rates were placed immoderately
hign: yet the theoretical right of protect
ing home industries by federal legislation,
SO far from being doubted. found express
recognition in the preamble Vol. /, p. $50
The statement. therefore. that O pro-
tective tariff is unconstitutional is not to
be found in the Constitution, has not the
authority of the fathers who drew the Con-
Congress from the very beginning. The
Democratic party starts on it's campaign
with q falsehood concerning the Issue that
is to decide the campaign. We do not
think 1t can win on this falsehood. A pro-
tective tariff is not only constitutional. but
it lies at the base of our national pros
perity.

One of the shrewdest politicians in New
York, a man who finds il consistent to live
an upright and honorable private life and
yet to countenance all sorts of villaipies
and trickeries In politics, said to me this
morning that the nomination of Cleveland
would probably upset certain plans which
the Democracy have been nursing. with a
view of putting them into execution next
election day. Said he: ''Tammany and
Senator Hill have so liked It that the new
election law, passed by the last Legislature,

IN 1868. II was the intention of tho egn-

mated. should receive not less han 100. 600
majority, a figure which it would have
been impossible to have overcome by any
Republican majorities in the interior ooun-
ties"
The nomination of Cleveland will proba-
bly, put an end to this scheme. Undoubt-
eddy Tammany will vote the regular ticket.
but it IA pretty certain that no such desper-
ate efforts will be made to count Cleveland
in as would have been attempted had Hill
