IT is significant that President Cleve-
lands late message receives general
praise In England. The press of that
country speaks of it in highly commend
atory terms, and but feeble attempt,
if any at all, is made to conceal their
pleasure over the Wilson tariff bill. For
thirty years the English people have been
in sympathy with the Democratic party
because they recognized that the Repub-
lican party was for America and Amer
ican industries, and any party having
such principles must of necessity take
action which either directly or indirectly
would have the effect of injuring British
trade. The Britishers have long been
convinced that if they would break
down American manufacturers it must
be done through the medium of the
Democratic party, and to that end
British sympathy and British money has
assisted the Demo cratic cause. 1t is
evident that the English press believes
that the condition in America, for which
they have so long hoped, is about to
be realized. 1t may be temporarily
realized, for no one knows to what ex-
tent the present Congress will go, but it
will be only temporarily and the English
are congratulating themselves too soon.
They little understand the temper of the
American people if they think the
farmers, the workingmen, the manufac-
turers, the merchants. and every other
branch of trade and labor in America is
satisfied with the conditions existing
under Democratic rule, and when an
other general election rolls around they
will be convinced of their error.

Gle is that it cannot be refilled after hay-

LARRY NEAL has crawled out from
under that $1,000 majority just long
enough to say that the old soldier vote
and Cleveland's hardness in turning
Republicans out did it. Also, that he
endorses the Wilson bill, with the ex-
ception of the sugar bounty, which he
thinks should have been repealed out
right. Larry's opinion is entitled to
consideration, since he has the dis
tinction of being beaten by the largest
majority ever given in Ohio in time
of peace.

If we are to have tariff for protec-

fairly and fully protective. If we are
to have a tariff for revenue only, it must
be framed simply for the purpose OF
raising revenue by equal taxation. The
Wilson tariff accomplishes neither Of
these ends

LOVING KINDNESS is well to dis
tinguish clearly between what we owe to
others and what they have right to
claim of us. The former comprises a
far larger sphere than the latter. For,
while every one has certain rights which
be may justly demand, he can make no
such claim for kindness, sympathy, for
bearance, or charity. If he enjoys these
at all, it must be as free gifts, favors to
be grateful for, but never to be required
Yet benevolence in its many branches
is duty which we cannot Withhold from
one another with impunity. Kindness
is debt which, though no one may de-
mand, our own cOnsciences must ever
enforce. 1t is true that we shonld be
just before we are generous but this
consideration by no means diminishes
the duty of generosity. Therefore it
becomes a matter of serious inquiry
whether we have any right to put off the
kind or loving or merciful acts and
attentions that our hearts suggest and
our better natures plan.

RUMoRs OF RENEWED GOLD SHIPMENTS
Pittsburgh Times.
1t is not a cheerful report which comes
from New York. that sterling exchange
is undeniably strong and rates very close
to the gold-exporting point" On the
strength of this the bears in the stock
market yesterday were active. The
statement went out that $1,000,000
in gold had actually been engaged for
shipment, but happily that was found
not to be true. Houses which usually
buy the gold for shipment said that they
had not received orders for any. But as
things are now no one can tell how soon
they will receive them. The bullion in
the Bank of England during the past
week was reduced e311,0 ,0S9. The banks
rate of discount, however. is unchanged.
If it should be raised, gold now on the
exporting point would begin to go. 1t
is not said where the English gold has
gone to, but the bank of France reports
that during the past week its stock of
gold has been increased by 5.325, 900
francs, or about e266,250 That would
indicate that Johnny Crapaud has been
drawing pretty freely on Johnny Bull.
Let US hope that this will not go on
until Johnny Bull puts up his price and
draws on our stock Of gold. Just now
that would be like drawing teeth.
