BLAINE NOT IN IT.

James Gillespie Blaine has written letter
that brings contcntment TO n great many
people-the democratic party generally. and
all the Harrison republicans. Whether
the opinion was well founded or not, the
democrats generally regarded Blaine as a
much harder man 10 beat than Harrison or
any other republican whom the party might
have called TO its leadership. Hence they
regard his retirement in the light Of the
most dangerous foe placed horse de eombat.
Harrison and his friends are pleased. as =
dangerous rival voluntarily retires from tho
field.
But what next (? Will Blaines friends ac-
cept this letter az fnality? Most Of them
will. A few will not. They viii still
clamor for the magnets" mans nomina-
tion. But will not the opposition to Har-
rison land it is strong) place some other
man in the seld? No doubt. And this
procedure that has been going on between
Blaine and Harrison for several months
having for itssingle purpose the nomination
Of Harrison may be the very rock upon
which he may stumble and go TO pieces.
Many of those who have heretofore foil. wed
Mr. Blaine with singular devotion. will now
bid him farewell forever, not because be
has practically retired from politics, bui
because they viii regard his conduct for the
last six months as that Of double-dealing
The letter marks the last milestone in q
singularly eventful political life.

Accordingt ~ advices from St Peters
burg the czlr intends 10 initiate measures
for the restoration Of serfdom among the
peasants.
Reports from many district officials
co1cur 10 the statement that the inci case
] Of population IN the villages is 80 great that
the land belonging to the "mirs," or local
communcs,Is insufficient to support all The
members.
The government, with the view to
remedying the evil, proposes to allocate to
the peasants vast tracts Of land under con-
ditions similar TO those of serf tenure.
One third Of the harvest is to be stored In
4 the command magazines for the support
Of the peasants; one-third Is to be sold by
the government for the payment CT local
debts TO tie state, and one-third Is to be
retained for the payment of government
taxes.
The peasants will not be allowed TO
move communes, but ~ill be bound to the
soil and will be obliged to fulfil their con :
tracts with the state.
The ,ystem will be first applied in the
provinces OF Samara and Saratoff, and If
successful. will be extended all over the
empire. The execution OF the new law
will be intrusted to the district Off :iaIs
styled "seemsd natchalniki" AS these
ave recruited from the reaction nobility,
who favor lhe restoration Of serfdom,they
ars certain to report the scheme success

Il l. but possible, but not certain, that
The raid now made on the democracy by |
Senator Hill for presidential nomination,
may defeat the selection OF Mr. CLEVELAND
as the democratic candidate; but there ls
no possible contingency In which flill
could effect his own nomination. The
democrats of the nation are not prepared
10 enter one OF the most impol .ant contests
of our political history with candidate
who would symbollxe the purpose to ma
tionalize saloon politics, with political thtf
as one OF the jewels Of the new political
constellation.
We say that Il Is possible tha, the "snap-
Judgment convention called by Senator
HUI Ia New York to assure solid delega.
tlon for himself for president, may defeat
the nomination OF Cleveland, but It ls no.
at all certain that 1t WV do 80. An over
whelming majority oEthe democrats and
tariff reiormera OF the country desire the
nomination OF Cleveland as against all
o.hersi and It Is entirely safe TO say that
tour-fltths OF them, taklng In the entire
country including New York. very posi-
lively prefer Cleveland 10 Hill, while
large perc,ntage, and quite enough to
control every debatable state, would vote
FOR any reasonable candidate Of any other
party 10 defeat the election OF Hin. This
is not sentiment; Il Is the plain truth, and
It should be presented In cold types ior the
study OF the men who are active In the
present Eiill raid upon the democracy.
While the defeat OF Cleveland Is posi-
BILE by this presidential raid Of Senator Hlll,
Il Is not only possible, but It Is even proba.
bic, that the democratic people OF the I'm
lied States will nominate Mr. Cleveland
with or without the vote OF New York
State; and u so nominated, he would be
elected not only without the electoral vote
Of New York but the certaihiy ofhls elect
lon would compel even Senator TIN 10
fall In with the party and give his state to
Cleveland,
New York democrats OF the Hlll school
have twice defeated democratic candidates
for the presidency by deliberate peiiidy.
Hancock was sacrificed In 1880, In 1883
Cleveland was deliberately betrayed to
make Hill governor. There Is natural
distrust, therefore, of the H,ll leaders, and
the only certain way OF elecsing demo
cratic president this year would be TO
nominate the strongest man, regardless OF
the heroes of political ,heIt. and compel
their supper, by teaching them that they
are not necessary to democratic success.
They had the power to defeat the dem
oeraey In 1850 and again Ia 1883. They
have not the power to defeat Cleveland In
In 1894, II the people shalt emphasize their
devotion 10 honest government by nomi-
mating him as their candidate. Such is the
attitude of the HIil presidential raid given

A SIMPLE rARlFF TAX.

To obtain complete view Of reciprocity,
free trade and protection we must avoid
the entanglements OF detail. No man,
no million OF men, not all humanity can
calculate how tariff or no tariff would ai-
feet every individual Ia the United States.
We must ondeavor to grasp the principle
of these doctrines, if,het be sound, Its
application will likewise be wholesome,
Granted then that We protect ourselves,
let us considers II a nations laws compel
A to protect b to the extent OF 81, and
compel D to protect @ to the extent of 81,
and compel c to protect A to the extent
of ST., then the nation will have es-
tabllshed "an absolutely equitable pro-
lection; but will have likewise established
an absolutely unmis,akable nonsense. On
the other hand, II A protect b to the ex-
tent Of 81, and D protect @ TO the extent OF
$a. and C protect A TO the extent of So, Il
will not be long before d and @ will have
been protected into pauperism, for A will
have protected both their protected pos
sessions into his protected pocket. II
need not be mentioned that things perfect
, abide In heaven 10 know which OF these
protective methods now prevail In our
country, and be Il remembered that any
deviation from the fallasy OF equal pro-
lection Ia unequal protection, and unequal
protection Is neither more nor less than
robbing one to enrich the other. II the
burden pressed equally on all Il would no.
be endured. As Il Is, the crafty use Is to
abuse the unwary.
Why, then, you ask, are we so much
more prosperous than the people of Europe
general and free-trade England In par
tieularl How Is II we can manufacture
millionaires out of the peoples money, and
still continue to increase aSundantly from
year 10 yeaii Simply because the civil
llIed nalions of Europe contain 400 inhab-
itants to the square mile, and VIC but
twenty. II farmer has two pastures OF
equal size and place 400 head of cattle In
one ard twenty In the other, which would
grow iatterI
II were permitted to raise the tariff on
bananas, for instance, high enough to pro-
tect me against the pauPer bananas OF
Central America | would agree to furnish
genuine United States bananas. Tue,
they would come -ather higher-SI a
piece, perhaps-for would have to raise
them in conseryatories-but what Of that
The money would remain at home. Or
would II be more economical to send ouI
neighbor in the torrid zone 81 worth oi
bacon, or any other of thousand things
We have, and In return receive from him
100 bananasl That Is reciprocity between
governments. Tariffs produce arti6cicia
con iitionA forcing labor into uneasy
channels. Let all peoples of the earth dc
what they can do best and easiest. lie
them interchange their ptoduets In pertSc
reciprocity, free without let or hlndianee
and then there will be no loss. But, u W,
are 10 raise our own sugar aud the Cubar
his own corn, we shall nave but little SUI
gar and the Cuban little corn.

When the friends Of particular president
ial candidates go up TO the Chicago eonyen-
tion urging the nomination of their favorite
1t win not be enough to make the pledge
that he can carry New York. True. New
York is highly important (not essentially
butt is just a. important that tho candidate
must carry the entire south, and 2s electoral
votes besides the south and New York, II
was said by many democrats only few
months ago that the candidate that the
democrats Of New York united ON should be
nominated, and ordinarily this would have
been good politics, but recent events in
New York have changed this policy II is
possible, and even probable, that the dem-
ocracy Of the nation may be constrained 10
defeat candidate because he Is demanded
by New York, This grows out Of tho hot
factonal brois ongendered in that state by
the snap judgment" convention called by
the state committee. II is highly probably
that the fool friends of Hill have thus early
placed the obstacle over which thoir fayorite
may stumble into defeat. Hill could carry
the south and presumably New York and
New Jersey, and three or four electors in
Michigan. Beyond this, nothing at this
time is certain or even hopeful. II he
should be nominated, the feeling Of resent
ment created by the call Of mid winter
convention in his state might subside. But
no must have II more votes than New Jer'
sey and 4 in Michigan. There is nothing
more certain in tho uncertainty Of holitics
than that Hill will come up 10 Chicago
with q united seventy six votes, but this
machine made delegation may fall by the
force Of its own weight, Senator Hill has
many admirers, but his methods are
very distasteful TO thousands Of indepen-
dent democratic voters Of the country. ant
Notwithstanding Senator Hill would b,
much preferable 10 any high protection ist
yet il would be impossible 10 bring thes,
independent voters to his support in case o
his nomination. In case the convention
goes outside Of New York for candidate
a large number ofavailable men are to b,
found. German, though quite frequently
spoken Of. would meet the same fate n,
Hill and largely for the same reason. Gov
ernor Russell, were he ten years older.
would make an ideal candidate. Governo
Pattison Of Pennsylvania would make Al
admirable candidate-clean, conscientiou
and able, and ii would be well TO keep hin
in view. Twenty years OF the age Of Gen
eral Palmer would leave splendid presiden
tial timber, but he is too old and viii no
be nominated. Gray Of Indiana is Spoken
Of but mostly by men Of his own state. IL
may be nominated for vice president, bu
not for president. Boies, Of Iowa, il
western man ia selected, will most likel,
take the cake. He is incoruptible, eoura
geous and able as well as sound on the tarii
question. Whether he could carry New
York is grave question, andequally doubt
ful about carrying enough Of the west b
dispense with New York and Connecticut.

FREE WOOL.


II has been decided 10 attack the tariff
law, section by section, instead OF endeav-
oring to have Il all repealed at once, the
chairman on the ways and means commit
tee has introduced bill repeating all the
duties on wool. rhe "compensaiory"
duties on wooden goods are also 10 be taken
of, but The advalorem 6uties on woolen
goods are left untouched, and thus they
will be left as highly protected as they ever
we're. The product of the farmeris to be
put on the free list. The product Of the
wool manufacturer is to be left fully pro-
tected. .-.Sfafsmaa.
There is no feature OF the democratic
position on the tariff question that has
been so uniformly, persistently and will
ingly misrepresented az that In reference
to woolens. The OregOs;an has almost
daily ststed the democrats proposed to put
wool on The free list and retain the present
duty on wooIens. But here comes the
StafesmaS and either ignorantly or will
fully ma&es a statement which upon the
very face of It Is false. 1t says the "com-
Pensatory" duties on woolen goods are to
be taken off, but the adyalorem duties on
wooleA goods are left untouched, and thus
they will be left as highly protected as
they ever were. II the Statesman can tell
how wooIen clothes are left as highly pro-
tected as ever after removing duty OF
4oH cents per pound 1t may be able to
shield itself from the charge of open mis-
representation. But It can not do so. To
remove the "con'e-sato-v" or specific
duties from woolens leaving the adya-
loren duties still on means a reduction of
nearly one half of the present duties on
woolens A cause that needs 40 much
falIacy, sophistry and wiIfuI nisrepresen-
tation TO prop 1t up as pretec.ionism dors,
Is one that should be crushed out.

Our neighbor, the Herald, makes show
Of fayoring protective tariff because IL
enables our manufacturers TO pay high
wages and at the same time compete with
the "pauper Labor" Of Europe. How illog-
ical this position is may readily be seen by
a simple test: Suppose our manufacturers
were to have protection against only one
foreign nation, and that trade with all
other foreign notions should be free and un-
restricted; what nation would.they ask to
be protected against? Every one with one
accord would say England. And yet in
England wages are much higher than in
any other European nation.

A third party man gives as a reason
why he deeiled to leave the democratic
party and join the third party was In con-
sequence of the character of the speeches
made at, and resolutions adopted by the
democrats when organizing n club at the
court house In this city some time ago.
Now, The speeches made were IN advocacy
Of an aggressive tariff campaign and adj
vaneed legislation In regard 70 silver. The
resoiution which was unanimously adopt
I'd declares that tariff reduction should be
the paramount issue, in the coming cam
paIgn. All this was soundly democratic
and no man who believes In Jeffersonian
democracy would FOR a moment take any
exceptions TO the speeches or the resolu >
