DON'T ACT THE FOOL.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat is
belittling it's Intelligence in attempting
to convict Congressman Wilson of the
Lack of political sense in his speech in
London. The Globe Democrat says
there have never been any barriers to
our trade with other countries. That
other nations could come in and buy
our products and there was no tariff
on them going into other countries.
Why then was the necessity for Mr..
Blaine negotiating reciprocity treaties
with other countries? The Globe
Democrat knows very we'll that a
tariff on goods imported into this
country is barrier to the reciprocity
of trade and that the Mckinley bill
contained prohibitory clauses on many
articles, which constituted a bar
rier to exchange Of commodities.
Besides there were positive barriers
in the shape of retaliatory tariff
upon large and important American
products. How about the American
hog sticking his snout into Germany?
Prohibited in retaliation for our tariff
on German products.
Any Republican paper that at
tempts to belittle the intelligence OF
Congressman Wilson by such bold as.
sertions belittles itself for its readers
know, especially OF the Globe Demo-
Graf, that it knows better and that it
is attempting to gull the people with
an apparent honesty Of statement,
which is not true. IT the Globe Demr
ocrat believes what it says on this
subject it had better 20 to school to
some political tyro before it attempts
to enlighten (?) the people. Any
school boy could teach it better eco
nomic politics and sounder facts than
it uses to slur at Mr.. Wilson.

Harrison's administration. The Re
publicans in congress did all their in.
vention taught them to do to ruin the
country during his administration,
hut they lad behind them 30 years OF
Republican misrule, and they only
COMPLETED the ruin In order to prevent
the Democratic party from changing a
tariff that did not afford sufficient
revenue but that filled the Golfers Of
the favored classes and the trusts OF
the country. The country two years
ago was in wretcded condition. 1t
was a ry sick man, and but for the
doctoTipg Of the Democracy it would
have been ditched. A new policy had
to be inaugurated to revive industry
and widen its field OF action, and nat
urally business was held largely IN
allegiance during that process OF
change from a rotten to healthy sys-
sem. The patient is getting we'll. He
is manifestiDg the reactionary vigor OF
a strong man He has begun at home
to straighten up affairs and is now
reaching out his arms for larger effort.
ANY man with common intelligence
and observation can see evidences of
renewed industry in all its branches
and that too upon 10 small and limi-
ted area. The country is again heal
thy and does not need artificial stimu-
latiou. 1t is about entering new and
more extensive fields of commerce,
and before Mr.. Cleyeland's admins
tration terminates it will be the mort
prosperous country in the world, with
'esources and energies that will ena-
ole it to distance the world in the
great race of nations.

Col. WALTER GRESHAM is entitled
to high communication in succeeding
in getting an appropriation for per-
manent survey of the Brazos river.
The work has been given in charge Of
Brigadier General Thomas Lincoln
Casey, engineer in chief, grandson of
cid Sam Casey, a well known Ken
tuckian of 40 years ago, and Captain
Cross. The survey will be made with
great care from Richmond to Velasco,
with view ot obtaining water trans
portation to a be ter sugar country
than can be found elsewhere. A sur
vey of less Importance will be made
from Richmond to Waco to determine
the levels OF this long stretch of the
Brazos valley, in order that the gov.
ernment engineers may have distinct
idea of the country when the question
comes up for the improvement of the
Brazos to that point. The Brazos
valley is perhaps as rich as the valley
of the Nile, and when water transpor-
tation is obtained ii will develop with
an astonishing rapidly in population
and production

THE BASIS OF PROSPERITY FOR
THIS COUNTRY.

Mr.. Makemson Gays that two years
ago this country was the most pros
porous and happy country in the
world. The products
of the farm, ranch and factory found
a satisfactory home MARKET Mark
the words, "home market That is
what the Republicans want, an ex-
elusive home market in order that
capital may gather into its capacious
nav all the wealth of the country.
Home market indeed, we want the
markets of the world. Is it true that
two years ago this country was the
most prosperous in the world? The
Mckinley tariff bill with all its enor.
mites and bonuses to favored indus
tries did not furnish revenue sufficient
for the support of the government and
Mr., Harrison left a bankrupt treasury.
Even the leader of tho Republican
party had begun TO murmur of dams
ger ahead from the very silver pur-
chasing act that he, Mr.. Sherman, had
introduced into congress, and was
clamorous for its repeal.
There never yet has been a party
that went into power with more
discouragements and with a
country in worse condition
than the Cleveland administration
Harrison left the country with "a
blight, blast, a mildew," upon it,
but that was not attributable alone to

The Associated Press says that Mr..
Eastman, Chicago lawyer, has pre-
pared a bill 20 be presented to con-
gress 70 emf strikes and settle the
questions that arise between en-
ployers and employees. There is but
one way 20 end strikes and settle this
vexed qu stiou and that is to open up
all the arteries If trade to the re-.

The law of supply and demand is the
only mode OF settlement of all these

ONE OF the amendments Of the con-
stitutional convention of New York
to be submitted to the people at the
November election provides against
gambling, and in such compre hensive
and drastic language that speculation
in stocks in Wall Street would under
that law become lndictaUIe. District
Attorney Fellows gives it az his opin-
ion that if sales were made Oh the
exchange with the intent of aGtua!
delivery, the law would not apply,
but if made with margin put up fol
speculative purposes, it would be 8
violation of the gambling act, and
that seems to be the opinion of the
New York bar generally. 1t is to be
imagined Wall Street will fight the
amendment.

Well informed democrats, who
have followed the tariff fight in
the Senate, will heartily agree
with the Memphis Commercial
Appeal, which says that the
greatest trouble the democracy
have in the campaign from now
until the Congressional elections
in November will be the trouble
they have made among themselves,
especially by the wild, extreme,
extravagant and often grossly
ignorant denunciati0n of the tariff
bill passed by the democrats. 1t
is not necessary for any democrat
to accept and defend this measure
as the final effort and completed
work of the democratic party in
the way of tariff reform; but that
does not justify the senseless and
indiscriminate abuse that has been
heaped upon it. With all it's
faults the Senate bill is a good
bill. 1t puts wool, lumber, salt,
copper, burlaps, bags and cotton
bagging, fax and hemp, all agri-
cultural implements, cotton ties
and binding twine on the free list.
1t reduces the duty on coal and
iron ore from Is to 40 cents q ton.
1t reduced the duty on woolen
goods so per cent. On the whole
metal schedule the reduction is
3S per cent; % per cent. on cotton
goods, and large reductions on
many other necessaries. These
are virtues enough to commend
it to the people, if they are allowed
to know the truth and are not
preiudiced by ignorant or mislead.
