Hail to the Chief!

Today the change desired by the major
ity of the people of the United States in
the affairs of their government will go
into effect. The new President is the
champion and representative of Demo
cratic principles. The retirement of the
outgoing President is the retirement OF
the Republican party and its high tariff
policy. The change of Presidents on this
occasion is thus something more than the
ordinary four years procedure.
President BENJAMIN HARRISON goes
out of office bearing the respect of the
American people because he has conducted
a respectable administration. He has failed
in his ambitions because his party has
made fatal mistakes. President GROVER
CLEVELAND goes in with the acclama-
lions of the nation and the confidence OF
the great multitude, including many
prominent persons who have not been
connected with his party. They expect
and believe that he will use his great in
fuence to secure such changes as are de.
manded by the e1igencies OF the times and
the progress of the country.
This will be day of great rejoicing
throughout the land. The ceremonies
and festivities and congratulations at the
capital will be the expression of the feel.
ings OF the populace throughout the
Union. GROVER CLEVELAND is truly g
representative American and the embodi-
ment of genuine Democracy. The peo-
pie wanted him and now they have hin,
where they wanted him to be.
The party which today takes control OF
both the executive and legislative de-
partments of the government has great
and onerous task before it. On the
wisdom and courage it manifests in con-
Quoting public affairs during the next
four years, will depend its future place in
the confidence of the people. Too much
should not be expected of it in SO short a
time. The errors OF the party that re-
tires cannot all be corrected at once. The
fnll policy of the Democratic party can
not be established at one step. Patience
will have to be exercised and the gradual
reforms that viii be introduced must be
accepted at their full value. We believe
the country will not expect impossible
ties, but will be satisfied with what can
be done with safety to existing interests
We congratulate the great party of the
people, which has never departed from
its fundamental principles that lie at the
very root of the tree of liberty, on its re-
turn to its proper place in this glorious
republic. Hail to. the chief who has
borne its standard to victory. and NAV

No Bond. No Bonus.

The hesitation on the part of Mr.. S. NJ.
GREEN in the matter of executing a bond
for the erection of the copper refinery has
caused a feeling ofgreat uneasiness in this
city. 1t was supposed that every obstacle
had been cleared from the way OF the pro-
iect. The big bonus of 500, 900 was as
sured, the site was understood to have
been. selected, and there was no doubt in
the minds OF our local promoters of the
enterprise that its establishment was a
certainty.
The act OF the city council, while recog-
nized as not quite within the lines of civic
authority, as advancing money really as g
subsidy though ostensibly for the pur-
chase of real estate, was approved by the
general public as an exceptional case, an
outlay to secure much greater return.
It was done to make sure of the copperre-
finery for this city.
The gentlemen into whose hands this
matter was confded, to represent the
citizens, would have been derelict in theil
duty if they had not required bono
from the parties who were to receive the
bonus. There seems to be no great rea-
son why the bond should not be cherfully
given, unless the pretensions OF those
parties are unsound.
There are great many people here who
are quite dubious as to the proportion Of
benefits which will accrue to the donors
and the city from this transaction. They
think the receivers OF the money have by
far the best end of the bargain. Without
endorsing this view of the case, we con-
slider that Mr.. GREEN and his friends
have secured pretty good thing, and
that if they mean business on the square,
they should have no hesitation in giving
proper security for their fulfillment Of
their part of the contract. At any rate
the business, if transacted, will be done
on business principles, and the peoples
trustees will not engage in anything in
which the peoples interests will not be
secure. No bond, no bonus

Agriculture and Protection.

| What Democratic administration is
going to do, what ruin is coming upon
the country, what wreck there is to be
of manufacturing interests, what reduc-
tions are to take place in wages, are still
the daily themes of Republican woe por-
tenders. All these calamities, and many
more, are TO be the effects of what they
call ''free trade;'' that is, reform OF the
high tariff which they exalt as the acme of
political wisdom in finance.
Every advancement made in any
branch of trade or industry they attrib-
ute to protection. No matter how separate
and distinct from tariff operations it
may be, the MCKINLEY bill is alleged
to be the cause, and the progress made its
effects. There is one interest in this
country that they and everybody else
ought to consider in this connection; that
is. the agricultural interest. Viewed in
the light of dollars and cents it is the
most valuable of all industries of the
nation. 1t is the same when compared
with others as anecessary field for human
exertion. Has that interest prospered or
not under the protective policy?
| Fortunately we have straight answer
in the census tables prepared by Commits
sioner PORTER, which have been COM
pleted in reference to nine states, three
southern and one eastern. They affoad a
fair criterion by which to Judge the rest.
Let US take Massachusetts, as an ex-
ample.
Massachusetts, ought to be prosperous
because it has been largely affected by the
protective policy, being so much of a
manufacturing state in which all inter
ests should share its benefits, PORTER
says that during the two years up to 1890
no less than 25O, 222 mortgages on real
estate were made in that state, represent
ing an incurred Indebtedness OF S5OS, 455, :
$50.
The debt remaining in force Jan. l.,
1890, was SS2a, 277 1858, secured by mort
cages, OF which S42, al, PAT encumbers
92O, 313 acres and $3.50, 1886, 421 encumbers
132, 1888 lots. The mortgage movement
increased during the decade 1884, per
cent while the population Increased 25.57
per cent. A real estate mortgage was
contracted by Suffolk county, which in
cludes Boston, of SOB, 6s5, 1925. In eight
of the fourteen counties the present debt
is more than $40 200, 600 each.
In Maryland, the percentage of hired
farms greatly increased over those OF
owned farms during the decade. Owners
of farms in 1880 to the number of 2, 009
were working hired farms in 1890, while
many others have gone out of the bust
ness. Over 30 per cent. of the owned
farms are encountered with mortgages
representing about SO per cent. of their
full value. The interest on the indebted
ness amounts to about s95 per family. n

in hired quarters, 1898 per cent. of those
who live in their own homes pay sos in
terest per family on mortgages worth
1898 per cent. of the value of the prop
erty.
In eight states for which figures are
given. the amount of debt on acres in 1889
was 1889 per cent. more than in 1880.
The gain in number of mortgages was
1874. IS per cent, and in the incurred debt
was 1925 per cent. The debt per capita
of population in those states is as
follows: Alabama, S26; Illinois, 500;
Iowa, s1o4; Kansas, s17O; Massachusetts,,
s144; Missouri, $50; Nebraska, s126; Ten
nessee, S23.
Under the beneficent influences of pro-
lection the agriculturists of the country
have been gradually losing their owner
ship of the soil, which is going into the
possession of the money lenders of the
east. IT is not to be expected that under
a change of tariff policy they can be sud-
denly relieved of the pressure upon them.
1t will take long time for them to re-
cover. But it was time that new eco
npmic measures were introduced to save
them from utter ruin. Republican pre-
dicters of evil had better look back little
before they hazard many more forebod-
ings about the future.
