The Economist must have poorly
studied the recent elections il 1t thinks
1t necessary to wait until November to
test the feeling of the nation. State
after State has repudiated the meddle-
some policy Of the Democracy and pro-
nounced for protection, and even the
Democratic leaders themselves dare not
carry out their party pledges. The
result is that foiled in their desires for
free trade they have created a bill in
which they take revenge ON those states
that have hindered the contamination
OF their desires and have given life ami
encouragement to the states in which
they are supreme. If the Republicans
in Congress can prevent the passage of
this bill and refuse to do it, they will
be as derelict in their duties as is the
Democracy in its.

the country will rightly transfer the
blame from the shoulders OF the Demo-
cracy to the Republican party. A sin of
omission in such case is as bad as a sin
OF commission, and the Republicans in
Congress should be aware of this with

SENATE'S REPLY TO CLEVELAND.

The Presidents letter insisting upon
free iron and coal had about as much
effect on the Senate as water poured on
a ducks back. To be sure there were
six votes in favor of placing these arti-
Giles on the free list, but of the six Sena-
tors who thus voted, Allen, PETER and
Kyle are Populists, Irby of South Caro-
lima is an Independent, Ha~nsbrough a
Republican, and Hill is a Democrat.
Senator Villas had hardly concluded
his speech championing the Presidents
condition when the vote was taken and
he gave the lie to his words by voting
fairly and squarely against the demands
ofhis master. Not a single Democrat
save Hill alone voted in accordance with
the desires of the President.
AT the first opportunity the Senate
showed clearly its intention to refuse to
accede to Mr.. Cleveland's demands.
While the vote yesterday was not en-
couraging to the President, it must have
been e%minently satisfactory to Senator
Hill, for it gave him a very respectable
following, and If he can hold the votes
he commanded yesterday he will be
able to carry all his points, even to the
extent of defeating the tariff bill if
necessary.
In all this tariff muddle Hill alone has
come out with clean skirts. A Demo-
crat, he alone of all his party has insisted
upon the keeping of Democratic pledges.
He has refused compromise in whatever
form 1t has been presented. Single
handed and alone he has made his fight, |
and the breath Of scandal has not
touched him, nor does the reproach of
broken pledges follow him.
Whether there is any significance in
the vote Of yesterday as relates to
Hill is a question, but If tho future
demonstrate that he has really
about him q respectable min
,rity who will follow his leadership,
hen he will be in q psition to work his
will as regards the tariff, If, indeed,
10 does not already possess the power.
Mr.. Cleveland must be discouraged in
liz attempts at mastering the Senate"
The net result Of his last expedition was
n empty game bag.

with renewed exports of gold again
comes anxiety over the gold reserve.
and unless outside assistance comes to
the aid OF the Treasury by Saturday
night the gold reserve will have reached
the lowest point in its history. Already
$4,000, 900 has been engaged for ship
ment tomorrow and the prospects are
that before the day closes orders
for an additional So, 900, 900 will be given.
II these orders are given, and every
sign points that they will be, it will
mark the present week as one of the
heaviest gold export weeks of the year.
This renewed drain on Uncle Sans gold
Is all the more marked because the
banks OF Europe show a steadily in
creasing accumulation Of gold.
So far as can be seen the treasury do
partment has made no move to check
this drain or to increase the gold in re-
serve. Congress has net been asked 10
come to the relief Of the treasury and
apparently Mr.. Carlisle is as obliyious

keenly alive to matters Of smaller i'm
port. The administration is so tied no
in the tariff middle that it seems to for
get that this nation is a vast organization
requiring funds for its support, and
now having cut off its source
OF revenue 1t neglects TO provide other
means OF keepingits faith good. Natur-
ally a bond issue Is dreaded SO near TO
the fall elections. but in view Of the un-
certainty of the tariff settl ement one Is
necessary in order that tho nation be not
embarrassed. Already $50, oOo, 900 has
been borrowed and spent this year and
a like sum IS needed today. yet there Is
no way TO obtain 1t unless the law is
again deied and the money borrowed at
mn exhorbitant price.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
AS Venomous as Ever.

Our textile fabric contemporary, the Boston
Herald, observes with unconcealed satisfac-
ton that the total shipments of the product of
the United States for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1894, was only soi vessels of an agqre.
gate tonnage of lS4.39 tons. The tone of The
Herald In discussing this fact is precisely what
might he expected from n trade organ of the
shipbuilders OF the Clyde and Tyne In e~xultipp

competitor. The Herald stigmatizes Amsri.

The Armor Frauds.
N. Y Sun.

At last we have q personal statement In h.
half Of the Carnegie Company as to the
alleged frauds In the armor for United States
battle ships. Mr.. Frick. superintendent Of
the works, and Mr.. Hupsicker, his immediate
subordinate. have testified before the com.
mittee of the House of Representative that
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which some for
mer employees of tho company have alleged
were practiced on the Government in making
the arrnor, were wholly unknown and unsus-
pectsd by theIa.
This leaves the facts still unexplained; but
we cannot hesitate to accept the statements
of Messrs. FrIck and Hunsicker as command

make the heads Of the Carnegie COMPANY ac-

with the poorest prospect of not being found

WAR IN H EAST.

China and Japan have declared war,
and already hostilities have begun
though owing to difficulties In the trans
mission Of dispatches the ministers OF
these countries have not been officially
informed of the fact.
II, however, war actually has been
declared, as it is believed, China must
be considered the agressor. In 1885
Japan demanded the same right which
had been asserted by China, Of inter-
posing In Corea, when riot or insurrec-
ton endangered the lives or property Of
foreigners. The right was conceded by
the Tientsin convention, which pro-
vided that either Of the parties to the
compact might, when the internal tran
guilty Of Corea was disturbed, send
troops thither for the pur pose Of pro-
tecting its subjects and rest oring order,
the sole condition being that notice of
the intention to dispatch soldiers should
be given to the c~o-signatory power.
japan has by far the larger number
Of subjects in Corea and her business
relations are many times stronger than
those of China.
Now what are the facts in the case
During the recent rebellion China sent a
body of soldiers to the Corean peninsula,
but failed to notify Japan Of its action,
thus deliberately violating the onven
ton Of 1885 made at Tientsin. After
sending its forces it tardily acknowl-
edged Its mistake by notifying Japan.
Whether the present quarrel will be
confined to the original parties, or
whether other nations will interfere. is
q matter Of doubt that will only be
by the determination of the
whether this is a war for terri
tory or simply to pay off old scores. In
the former case Russia would be apt to
take q hand.
But until some definite news from the
Orient is received it is idle to attempt TO
or even surmise the turn
hat events may take.

Inc developments on the tariff bill yester.

itis true q certain amount of progress was

Withdrew his motion that the Senate recede

ten TO one. Indeed the New York Senator
found only i've supporters three Populists.

Can he sign a bill which within a weel
