sALIsBUHY's FAIR TRADE SPEECH.

Lord Salisbury, Premier Of Great Britain.
made Fair Trade speech at Hastings last
Wednesday which has excited much surprise
and called forth great deal of unfayorable
comment in England. 1t was never expected
that one in his position would openly adyo-
cate increased tariff, because that has been
contrary to the economic policy of England
for many wears. Yet such is the case and
there is talk Of accommodating his Lord
ship for political heresy.
For fifty years past England has been the
home of free trade teaching. The theories
of Adam Smith, John Bright and Richard
Golden, all Of whom believed that the God
OF Nature intended different regions Of the
earth to freely interchange their respective
products. and that therefore, free trade was
tho true natural law of the commercial
world, have been accepted as positive
truths. Statesmen have striven TO
attain to absolute free trade as nearly
as needed Government revenues would per-
NIT, and any proposition to levy tariff tax on
any article greater than the demands of the
public income required, would have been
hooted out of the House Of Commons. But
for few years past British politicians have
been talking about Fair Trade" and now,
Just as Parliament is about to DO dissolved
the Prime Minister declares IN favor of it.
Salisburys position. however, seems not to
be in favor of Protection either for Projections
sake or for revenue purposes, but more as "a
retaliatory measure against protected nations,
who impose a tariff tax upon British exports.
From this point of view his presentation Of
the case Is very interesting. He declared
that change has come over the conditions
Of commerce since the repeal of the corn
laws. He stated that foreign countries
are adopting the principle of protection and
are closing their ports to British wares. Eng
land is forced to buy feed stuhs and raw ma
terials abroad, and she is more and more
obliged to find markets for her manufactures
at home and among her colonies. This policy.
said the Premier, is impoverishing England.
and he maintained that a new policy must be
adopted to pry open foreign ports
Ii seems then that Salisbury Is in favor Of
esting protection only on the principle either
of giving protected nations adose Of their own
medicine, or fighting the devil with FIRE.
and denying TO such nations the privilege
they enjoy in shipping their products free
into England although denying her reciprocal
advantages. This is very plausible position
to take, but the blessings Of free trade to Eng
land have been too palpable for the country
to readily accept the Premiers ideas. 1t Will
be Il long time before he Will see Great Britain
in the category of protected nations"

SILVER IN TIE CONVENTION.

Both in Georgia and in Virginia the frienus

respective State Conventions. let oo'h

on by the opponents OF Mr.. Cleveland az EVIL
dence that ( tho majority was for MN IN these
two conventions. they must have boon rather
half-hearted friends. since they were Wiling
70 adopt a plank in their platform directly an
taeonistic to Mr.. Cleyeand's weli-known

But is this so? Let US gee. The plank in
the platform adopted by the Virginia ConVen-
ton was. in effect, the same as that OF the Geor-
ria Convention. and read as follows:
The Democratic party of Virginia iayors
the complete reconciliation and the Tree
coinage OF silver
A superficial reading Of that plank would
justify the opposition to Cleveland IN
the ground they take that it was an anti
Cleveland resolution. but a careful reading
and analysis Of it would very plainly show the
contrary. The resolution simply declares
for complete reconciliation and free com
aye Of silver, and that every Democrat. not
only in Virginia. but in the United States.
can. and does, heartily indorse. But while
all wantlsilver dollars, we believe the vast ma
jority Of the Democracy of this State, and GER
tainly the vast majority in the Union. want
honest dollars dollars worth of silver IN the
silver dollar-while only the minority
favor the free coinage of the cheap sixty nine-
cent Bland dollar of the present dav. There
fore. as this silver plank Of our platform does
not call for Bland dollars, but merely declares
for the free coinage Of silver. Cleveland men
can stand upon it just as firmly as any Demo
Gratis Of any other waY Of thinking.
Neither do the average silver men at large OF
Virginia and Of the South care for Bland dol
lars. 1t makes no difference to them whether
the silver dollar has l2is grains Of silver IN 1t
Cloths fne-or whether 1t has a larger amount.
All they want is the silver dollar, and that
the Democracy of the country IS afraid OF try
ing the dangerous experiment OF passing an
act providing for tho free coinage OF cheap
dollars. is shown by the action OF the existing
House of Representatives.. which. though
two-thirds Democratic. with its members
elected. most of them. on just such platforms
as that adopted by our recent State Conven-
ton, has decided that it is wisest to indef-
nitely postpone the subject.
1t seems then that the genuine bi-metallists,
who wish to see gold and silver circulate equal
~ side by side. can stand squarely on the Viz
ginia platform. and Mr.. Cleveland himself can
stand upon it without the slightest incon-
eistencv Our friends of the OpDOsitiOn
therefore are decidedly premature in claim
ing the silver planks of the Virginia and
Georgia Democracy as anti-Cleyeland planks,
or in taking the position that the maioritios
in both these conventions were friends of
Cleveland only in lame.

CoNGRnss has at last begun to investigate the
keystone Bank failure. The Philadelphia
Ledger truly says that no similar crime-so
vast in the amount of money plundered, so
audacious in its violation of the National
Banking laws. so disastrous in its consequences
TO public and private interests-has ever had
such history before. After all the time that
has elapsed since the public collapse of the
keystone Bank what does the public know
as to where the missing millions went? The
experts have informed the Committee of Fifty
that every dollar that went into the bank has
been traced, and that the monthly reports
that they have made to the Treasury Depart
ment show where and how they went. But
the public is none the wiser Bardsley is
brought out of Jail to testify that he was
plundered by the bank of over a Million but
where the money went to is still unknown.
What does the public know to-day about the
assets of the bank OF what DO they consist Z
What will they realize?

FOR CONGRESS,
WILLIAM M. McKAIG,
on AITrnANv rauNTy
OF ALLEGANY COUNTY
MIR. CLEVELAND'S LETTER.

We this week have the pleasure OF lay
ing before our readers the admirable letter
of Grover Cleveland, accepting the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency. 1t is
plain, straightforward statement of Dem
ocratic principles, pure and unadulterated,
and as such we commend II TO the Democ-
racy Of Montgomery. The letter recog
nizes tariff reform as the leading issue OF the
campaign, and at the same time takes strong
ground in opposition TO revolutionary
force bill, as advocated by the Republican
party. 1t takes up the other issues of the
canvass and clearly defines the position Of
the party upon them. 1t is the voice Of a
statesman, and not the evasive sharp prac-
tice of a willy politician who will cater to
any rotten theory for the purpose OF tempo
rary advantage. II is bold, manly and above
the suspicion of trickery-it is Cleveland,
from beginning to end. 1t receives nothing
but bitter condemnation at the hands of Re
publicans, and this is the strongest point in
its favor.
