believes in restricted i'm mpor atlons of
articles which compete with our own
productions, and thus take away en-
pIoyment from our wo, kingmen: but
ImnOrtatI0nS OF nOn-COmpetlng articles
should not be restricted. Thus, under
the Mckinley tariff our imports have
greatly increased. but TINS increase has
been almost entirely in articles which
we do not ourselves produce.

This gives them Il slight discount. but do

This ailusion to the slight discount

is generally demanded by the domestic
buyer, probably explains the apparent
discount said 10 be given to the for

The American who will pay spot cash
can get the very same discount.
How the Democrats are Looking Ahead.
The claim is nCw made that the Dem
ocratlc party, if Il will only DO this or
that thing, has Il certainty OF success
The only trouble is that these advisers
cannot agree about the thing necessary
to make success certain. TIE New ork
Times SAYS, if the silver bill is dead
there is nothing now in SIGHT that can
prevent tariff reform from becoming
the issue and Mr.. Cleveland the candi
date, and under those circumstances vic
tory is almost absolutely sure But
the New York Herald declares: There
is no one III New York whom it will be
entirely safe to tie to. The
present political condition of New York
state, cut up into political factions as IT

consider tariff reform the necessary and
only lsSGe, hut one holds Mr.. tlcve-
land essential, and the other holds the
nomination of somebody else essential.
Then come the free silver men of the
West and South, declaring that party
can win with absolute certainty II 1t
makes silver the one issue and noml-
mates a candidate pledged 10 that policy,
but can win IN no other way.
Predictions so contradictory have
tendency TO create the impression that
success is not certain under aDy condl
tions 1t always happens that men
en9mored OF a theory see with mar
yelous clearness, If not with glasses OF
high magnifyIng power, all It's advant-
aces and benefits. but fail to see its
dangers and objections. The silver men
are stone blind TO the certain loss OF
votes at the Fast. But the tariff re-
formers are stone blind TO the certain
loss of Democratic votes at the West
and south The Democratic party can
not win without New York, according
to one sci of prophets. The other set,
with equal truth, shows that the party
cannot win without Indiana and a Solid
