creased and tobacco raising become profit

creased and tobacco raising become profit
able.
In New York 10000 persons are directly
or indirectly interested in the growing Of
tobacco. It is perfectly clear that neither
New York nor Connecticut can be carried
by the Democracy on the Chicago tariff
platform of free trade, so David B. Hill
and the New York Sun have repu dated
this platform and pronounced against free
trade and in favor of protection, but the
voters Of the country know that { he Con-
necticut platform, the New York Sun and
David B. Hill will not govern the party If
Cleveland is elected; they know that the
trainers of the tariff plank of the Chicago
platform, that is. the Solid South and the
New England "free trade" Democracy,
will govern the party.
The New York Sun admits that never
before in the history Of the country was
the policy of protection 50 firmly estab-
lished; admits that any party which goes
before the American people on the issue Of
free trade is doomed to overwhelming de-
feat, and then denies that the Democratic
party is for "free trade" The Sun says:
Never before in American history was pro-
lection 40 deeply and thoroughly rooted here
as 1t is now. Free trade England can DO more
easily converted TO protection than this country
can be led into free trade.
or course the Democratic party 10 not lighting
the battle Of free trade for 1t is not lighting fof
defeat
In his speech OF acceptance Mr.. Cleveland
made this fact evident, and in bis letter of &C
ceptance he will doubtless shatter the English
free trade delusion even more completely. The
Democracy of Connecticut 10 rock-ribbed, yet
the Democratic party OF that state has just
adopted . protection platform
This is all very fine, but when the plain
people who believe in protection come to
vote in November they will vote for party
that promises protection and means what
it says, or will they vote for party that
denounces protection az fraud and as un-
constitutional, and promises "a tariff for
revenue only" which the Sun admits
means "free trade" in the same sense that
the British revenue tariff is defined as
free trade" The Sun is very careful not
to say that the Democratic tariff plank
means "protection;" it only denies that
the Democratic party intends to excise
the last vestige of protection from
our tariff policy; that is, it pretends
to believe that if on free trade platform
the Democracy are victorious they will be
sure nevertheless to give the country q
protection administration. This assump-
ton is too ridiculous to be accepted by the
people; the people will vote with the party
that knows enough to say what it means
and is honest enough to mean what it
says, rather than with party that either
does not know enough to say what It
means or not honest enough to mean what
it says.

Ex-Gov. Thayer. Of Nebraska, thinks
Nebraska sure for Harrison in November;
he is confident that the Peoples party is
losing ground steadily. He says:
'Itwas strongest two years ago. At
that time there was a period of great bus
mess depression in the West. OF course,
all Ills are attributed to the political
party in power, and for this reason tho
Peoples party gained great Roadway as
against the Republican party. At the
present time the commercial depression
has given place to prosperity. Farmers
are paying OF their mortgages and crops
are good. Tho Mckinley bill has resulted
in benefit to the people and they are now
realizing it."

United States Senator Allison feels no
apprehension about the fusion of the regu-
lar Democracy and the Peoples party ::
This fusion is not likely to materializs
even in the states where it is proposed.
Those members of the Peoples party who
have formerly voted the Republican ticket
are beginning to realize that a combina-
ton of that kind means Democratic sue
cess. So while it may appear that the
fusion is perfect, when election day comes
those who have voted with the Republican
party in former years will not desert it,
