The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-08-05

The strongest rebuke which has
been administered to Governor
Waite for his wild speech of fort
night ago comes logically from one
of the victims of his tolly-G. K.
Jensen, a workingman who was
thrown out of employment because
of the withdrawal of capital from the
Centennial State. "The Governor
made his blood and bride speech"
says Mr.. Jensen, "then capital be-
came timid, banks collapsed, fac
tories closed, labor became as fright
ened as capital, and now every work.
ingman who can get away from Col
orado is going" Many sharp things
have been said of the Governor for
his hot words; but none was more
severe than this from a man who
doubtless voted for Waite. When
other States are hereafter invited to
run after Populist idols let them
remember the Colorado experiences
of this year. The remembrance will
pay them well.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1893-08-05

OUR esteemed free trade cotempor
airy the Philadelphia Record in the
midst OF the prevailing financial
stringency, finds consolation in the
fact that this seasons crops are album,

US" says the Reco,d, 1--WE have fully
400. 900, 600 bushels more of corn
and 90, ooo, 900 bushels more OF oats
than were produced last year. The
hay crop of the whole country, &C
cording to the report OF the Federal
Department of agriculture, is likely
to be an exceptionally good one"
The Media Ledger, commenting
on the above says: eff the country
must come down 10 eating oats and
hay, after such promises made last
fall OF such good times, the outlook
will be gloomy one indeed. How
natural it is to call on the Lord for
help, when no other means seem to
be in sight. A iull confession of sin
must be made before any such help
can be expected"

Mr. CRISP, who will in all likeli
hood be re elected Speaker of the
House at Washington next Monday
with little or no opposition, has
announced himself in favor of the
repeal Of the Sherman act. He init
mates however, that he is in favor
OF so"-e substitute for that act in the
interest OF silver but he hesitates to
say exactly what it ought to be or
Is likely to be. He is willing to
support the administration to the
extent of working for the repeal of
the Sherman act this being doubtless
the bargain by which he is to secure
his reelection without its opposition,
but as to what he will do after that
in the way of helping his friends in
the silver camp, he is discreetly
silent.

though ths courtesy of President Har,
rison. As our readers know, under the
fostering protection of our tariff system
the American cutlery industry has made
rapid progress. hundreds and thous-
sands of American workmen finding
remunerative employment in our mills.
This prosperity of the American manu-
hcturers of cutlery, has been at the
expense of the English cutlery makers,
Shefild the centre of that industry
feeling the competition most. 1t
would be supposed, that any ordinary
American would prefer to see Ameri
can Cutlery still hold its place over the
British, and that the American industry
would command his sympathy and sup.
port, particularly at this time when
closing mills and reduced wages are
threatening American workmen in
every line of industry.
But like the average American free
trader, Mr.. Benjamin Folsom is not
built that way, as the following un-
American speech delivered by him at
a complementary dinner given him at
Sheffield on July 4th, will amply attest.
As a specimen of American funky
ism at the British shrine, it is simply
immense
There are two or three practical
things can say 10 you which are of
more importance than any resume of
our history. Eng!and's greatest
customer has been the United States
and, in spite of tariffs that have been
raised against foreign countries, there
is and must continue to be great and
gigantic trade flowing from England
to America. Hear, hear. You
have passed the worst period you
have crossed The highest barrier that |
can be raised between the United |
States and England in the way OF trade
obstruction. Applause. l will tell
you why this is. For the first time
since the year 1860 the Democratic
party which has been the party of free
trade, is for the first time in power,
not only IN the executive, but in both
its legislative branches. Applause.
During the former term of Mr.. Cleve-
land he was blocked by the Senate
standing between him and the House
of Representative which was Demo
cratic, and therefore no bill could be
passed which was rot IN the shape of
a compromise. When the struggle
come on for the Presidential election
last year the Democratic party, Tor the
first time in its history, took fair, and

and tariff for revenue only. Hear,

you will pardon me, | will read to
you the two short planks in the Demo
cratic platform upon which the Pfesi-
dent of the United States was elected
and upon which the Congress which is
now in power, and which is to be
convened upon the 9TH of next month,
was elected, and you will see that so
soon as the financial question IS dis
posed of which is merely a preliminary
and must be disposed of before the
regular meeting of Congress, the next
great question is the tariff, in which
you are interested, and which the
President and both Houses of Congress
are pledged to reduce. Applause.
The Democratic platform set forth
upon which Mr.. Cleveland was elected
