GEORGE FREDDIE wHINEs.

Congressman George Fred Williams
undertook to tell the Thomas Jefferson
Club of Jamaica Plain last Saturday
evening "why the young men of to-day
should vote the Democratic ticket"
"We may be inefficient and weak in
Congress-" he said, "but on the Repub-
lican side there is no genius shown,
except in urging in every amendment
the further squandering of the peoples
taxes, unjustly levied, and doggedly re-
fusing to reduce such taxation. l make
no boast of this Democratic Congress.

But the weakness is only functional and

cause, we shall go before the people,
and ours must be the victory
Mr.. Williams address was as curious
q campaign effort as the country has
ever witnessed. Apologize from be-
ginning to end, Mr.. Williams acknow-
lodged his partys shortcomings, ex-
planned them on the ground of its hav-
ing too much power and then had the
effrontery to ask for mighty effort" to
increase its inefficiency by throwing still
greater weight of responsibility upon its
nerveless hands. "On the Republican
side" said Mr.. Williams there
has been no genius shown ex-
cept in doggedly refusing to
reduce taxes" 1t would strike
most people of sane mind, and possessed
of an average amount OF common sense,
that it would require an amount and
quality of genius uncommonly rare
among mcrtals for the Republican mi

from making fool of itself. II would

inson, of Michigan, is reported as saying
in Detroit, after returning from visit
to Washington, New York and Boston,
that ex-President Cleveland will be
nominated at the Chicago convention

is reached in the list of states. Mr..
Dickinson was equally emphatic in say
ing that Mr.. Cleveland is today 90, 900

ever was before, and can carry New

her fertile lands into hunting forests, have
forced her farmers from their fielQs to

Defeat IL Certain, anyway.

The New York Herald continues its
warning that the Empire States two
distinguished Democratic candidates for
the presidency are not in it, and that
success lies through some western man
for head of the ticket, the tail to be as
signed to Hill. Doubtless The Herald
reasons that it is fatuous to bid for de-
feat by the nomination of man who
will blindly batter his head out against
the Mckinley law, and equally stupid to
put up man whom Cleveland's New
York friends solemnly propose to assas-
sinate next November.-Chicago Inter

NEITHER NOBLE NOR BUsINESSLIKE.
When Lord Salisbury says that "the
attitude we have taken in regarding it
disloyal to the glorious and sacred doc
trines of free trade to levy duties on
anybody for the sake of anything we get
thereby, may be noble but it is not bust
nesslike," he propounds the doctrine of
protection in part only. The GLORIOUS
and sacred doctrine of free trade" never
existed as a working doctrine save in one
little corner of the world called the
British Isles, and it existed there
only as a theory based upon conditions
which could not long be maintained. It's
success was due to the peculiar inventive
genius of England to the fact that
John Bull carries the yard stick more
naturally than the Bible, and to the
fact that 100 years ago the general in
telligence of England was greater than
elsewhere in the world. These, combined
with her immense wealth, made 1t pos
sible for-her- to manufacture fer
the world. Since then times have
changed, and the glorious and sacred
doctrine of free trade has become obso-
lete. Other nations have advanced
in material prosperity faster than
Great Britain, mainly because they
had the natural opportunities and all
they needed was to be allowed to cult
vate them. England's monopoly of the
worlds markets and her commercial
supremacy has long since ceased and
with them ceased the practical side of
her "sacred free trade" theory. The
theory ceased to be business-like simply
because it wouldn't work when other
nations emerged from an inferior plane
of civilization and saw that they might
just as well be self-supporting and inde-
pendent as TO be dependent.
Lord Salibury is false in his assertion
that the theory ever was noble. 1t was
not. There is neither justice, inherent
truth or nobility in any theory that de-
pends for its utility upon the inferiority
OF the rest OF the world 10 one nation,
and that one nations ability to keep the
rest of the world in an inferior position.
There is nothing noble in theory
that grows wholly out Of the principle
of selfish self-interest. That theory is
business-like just so long as IL will work,
but it takes two to carry on any busi-
ness transaction, and just so soon as one
Of the two parties discovers that he is
being dealt with on that principle of
self-interest he ceases TO trade, and the
action ceases TO be business-like because
the other party won't do business on that
basis any longer.
England is reaping only where she has
90 unwisely sown for the last half cen
tury, aud her people are becoming edu.

"wishy.washy" Buchanan.

Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee,
seems to be a pretty good imitation Of
the old functionary who was president
of the United States at the beginning Of
the rebellion. He has no decision Of
character nor any marked characteristic
beyond an unseemly desire to hold Of
fee. His road to denomination is being
made rugged and rocky and scanned
with chasms that he will find it very
hard to bridge, even with the most Law
ish promises. The Buchanan style of
politician is no longer successful in this
country.-St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

THE ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT
Trade lncreasing--Lead on the Down Grade
While Silver Gains a Point-our
Wealth Producers

Floods have abated in the east and with
them much Of the estimated losses, aud in
river bottoms farmers are busy planting as
fast as waters recede. Better weather In
most quarters gives decided improvement
in crop prospects, but it is still true that
wet weather in other localities retards
trade, and the backward season generally
renders distribution somewhat disappoint-
ing. Yet the aggregate volume Of trade
in spite of all obstacles, is greater than a
year ago, about 2 per cent. measured by
clearings outside Of New York and 3 per
cent. measured by railway earnings on all
roads reported. Labor difficulties in build
ing trades are passing away.
At Boston dry goods are quite active,
cotton mills busy and the clothing trade
satisfactory. Wool is unsettled, buyers
hesitating to pay prices demanded at the
west. At Philadelphia dry goods are fairly
active and retail trade better, while wool
meets ready sales. More orders are seen
for IRON, and the grocery trade is equal to
last years with activity in canned goods.
Increased trade is seen in tobacco but
decrease in paints, while other
branches are quiet. AT Hart
ford the dry goods trade exceeds last years,
and in groceries there is some activity,
while an increase Of 25 per cent. appears
in tobacco planting. At Bridgeport casket
hardware and plated silYerware are busy,
and the trade In hollow metals fair though
prices are low. Retail trade at Baltimore
is better than was expected, and the export
demand improved for tobacco and lumber.
At Pittsburg manufactured iron is fairly
active and there is something like a boom
in hardware. The carriage trade st Gin
cinnsu is affected by the weather, but
general trade improving. At Cleveland
weather prevents planting. Wool moves
very slowly at Detroit, and unfavorabie
weather retards trade, which is still equal
to last years.. At Chicago general business
exceeds last years., though retail trade is
backward on account Of the late season,
while country business is larger than usual.
Receipts for the week show large gains in
-four, barley, cured meats, dressed beef
and lard, and some gain In wool, but de-
crease in hogs, cattle aud hides, cheese
and butter ard most grain. The weather
is discouraging at Milwaukee, but at St.
Paul improved 60 that crop prospects are
better and trade brighter. The dreaded
food at St. Louis has passed and trade is
encouraged, and at Kansas City somewhat
improved, with good receipts of cattle and
grain. Pronounced Improvement in nearly
all lines is seen in Omaha With absting
foods the outlook improves at Little Rock,
but at Montgomery trade is light, and at
New Orleans only fair, though cotton is
stronger and sugar fairly active. At
Savannah trade is quite brisk in dry goods
and groceries. but large receipts depress
prices Of naval stores.
