Grant at Birmingham.

The Philadelphia Record is greatly
gratified at finding, in a speech deliv-
cred by General Grant in Biuning-
ham, England, seventeen years ago
this month, the following paragraph:
Now. there is one subject that has been
alluded to here that i do not know that
should speak upon at all. | have heard it
occasionally whispered since / have been
in England, and that is the great advan-
tages that would accrue to the United
States if free trade should ever be estab-
lished. l have q sort Of recollection,
through reading, that England herself had
protective tariff until she had manufac-
tories somewhat established. l think we
are rapidly progressing in the way Of
establishing manufactures ourselves, and
believe we shall become one Of the great
est free trade nations on the face of the
earth; and when we both come to be free
traders think that probably the balance
OF the nations had better stand aside, and not
contend with us at all in the markets Of
the world.
General Grant, who never assumed
to be q profound student of economic
questions, probably meant this as o
passing pleasantly and nothing else.
But If he did mean it in the sense of a
serious prophecy, what of it? We are
already the greatest free trade nation
in the world, inside our shore lines.
All Europe, rolled into one nation,
couldn't match the commercial posi-
bilities to be found, duty free, between
Gotham and Frisco, and between Du-
luth and New Orleans.
The Democratic party has shown it.
+self unfit to legislate. Even if the
principles it advocates-and never ex-
ecutes-were sound, the country
couldn't trust 1t to carry them out.
When the tariff Is next revised, we
have every reason to believe that the
job will be done by party which
knows what tariff reform really is, and
which, in applying that knowledge,
will not forfeit popular confidence and
respect.

of government in Pennsylvania and
make a campaign for governor and
other state officials upon questions of
tariff which belong only to congress ?"
The Democratic party would, no
doubt, like to be relieved from respon-
sibility for the mischief that its anti
industry activities have wrought. 1t
would dearly love to change the sub
ject. Every little organette joins in the
chorus to Brother Singerly's anxiousap-
peal and wants to know what the tariff
has to do with the campaign in Penn
sylvania. But their own enthusiastic
willingness to forget the recent past
gives their trick completely away, and
the voters of this state, remembering
how they have been robbed of wages
and profits under gratuitous Demo-
cratic tariff tinkering, will have word
to say first, before they consent to take
up any other theme.

Abuse Is of No Avail.

AUuSe 10 VI NO AVdlIs
1t is curious fact that in all the
paid sketches of Mr.. Merrifield's career
which are appearing, fIom time to
time, in the county press, no mention
is made of his protection proclivities.
The omission is the more noteworthy
since it was these proclivities which
Mr.. Merrifield, when nominated, was
at first most anxious to proclaim. He
then said, with emphasis, that he was
a protectionist of the Sam Randall
type and would, if elected, remain one
until the last dog was hung" or
words to that effect.
The question which now naturally
arises is whether Mr.. Merrifeld has
undergone a change of convictions.
Has he become frightened at Candi-
date Singerly's denunciation of the
protection Democrat as "fraudn; has
he become acquainted with the plat
form of his party and realized the alb
surdity of trying to be q protectionist
upon that platform, or has he been
taken into tow by the Democratic
slate makers and disciplined? One of
these three things must have hap
pened, else Mr.. Merrifeld would not
go to so much trouble to cancel his
opinions on the uppermost political
question of the day.
The Democratic local organ, in
delving back into ancient history for
the purpose of abusing Candidate
Scranton, can scarcely be so blind as
to believe that that sort of thing will
benefit Candidate Merrifield. The
fact that Representative Scranton's
candidacy represents a distinct and
overshadowing principle-the princi-
pie of protection to our industries,
work for our mines and mills and fac.
tories, and good wages for labor
makes it of minor importance today

JUDGE ARCHIBALD is admittedly one
of the cleanest, ablest and most saga
cious jurists in Pennsylvania. He is
known to lawyers throughout the com
monwealth as progressive student OF
the law and a fearless administrator OF
justice. 1t is unreasonable to suppose
that the intelligent citizenship ofIlack-
awanna county could wish to dispense
with his services merely because q
Democratic friendof Governor Pattison
would like to have that office.

IF THE AMIABLE editor of the Scran-
ton Times would take the trouble to
inform himself as to the exact cost of
each shutdown of an industry like that
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company's mills on the South Side, he
would not be SO quick to charge that
these Interruptions are the result of
partisan spite work or campaign arti-
flee. The charge is ridiculous on its
face; but not more ridiculous than are
the majority of so-called arguments in
troduced by Democratic special plead
ers this year.

Want to Change the Subject.

There is something almost pathetic
in the intense eargerness of the Demo-
cratic party to overlook the tariff ques-
ton and drift off into other channels
of discussion. ''In the elections for
congress-" pleads Mr.. Singerly, ''every
citizen has an ample opportunity to
express his opinions on questions Of
tariff, revenue and currency. Does it
not involve, then,a great confusion Of
political ideas to ignore all the matters

the BALANCE OF TRADE.
Nelo York Recorder.


1t is great big fact that for ten years
from 1875 to 1885 the Republican party
never scored less than S72, 600, 600 favora-
BILE trade balance in one year, and the
balance in our favor reached in 1881 the
enormous sum of $3.50 100000 Per contra,
Grover Cleveland, at the close of his
second year, 1887, found the balance of
trade to be against us to the amount Of
sos, 600, 900. President Harrison came in
in 1889 and found the balance of trade
against US. His administration brought
the balance of trade back to us, and the
third year Of his administration gave us
S202 900, 900 excess of exports over i'm
ports This showing abundantly indi-
Gates the policy Of protection, or else
there is no truth in the accepted economic
theory of the balance of trade.

Political Jack Cades,

creed, just as it would have fought it
with virulent energy during war times.
had it been published then. The in
come tax, in those days Of emergency
when there was some excuse for twas
denounced by the Democratic news
papers, orators and platforms as if it
were an objectionable sin. Now, when
there is no emergency and no excuse,
the Democratic party comes crawling
up out Of the financial PIT into which
its own incompetence had betrayed it,
carrying this discarded and outgrown
Republican eXpedient as one of its
cardinal principles and bestowing
upon it all the fond attention that an
anxious parent bestows upon q re-
turned child.
What is the income tax? During
the civil war it was desperate way
out of a desperate condition. In that
emergency, when the country was
straining every nerve to keep up a
gigantic war against disunion-when
every playing card, every sheet of
writing paper and everything else, al
most, bore a war tax, endured by a
patriotic people out of sympathy with
the purpose for which it was levied
the income tax was borne without a
murmur by Republicans, The only
complaint then was from Democrats.
They could not say mean enough
things about that Revolutionary and
autocratic method of raising revenue" "
But now these same Democrats fall
over themselves in eagerness to indorse
this method. Why? Because in their
mad raid upon Northern industry and
thrift they have run the government
into hole financially, and must resort
to extraordinary procedure to get it
out.
The supposition Of the Democrats is
that if they impose special toll upon
the brains and the wealth of the ma.
ton, making it pay double share o.
the expenses of Democratic misgov-
ernment-one-half in industries de-
stroyed by Democratic tariff tinkering
and the remainder levied in the form
of "stand-and-deliver" impost-they
can get enough money in hand to pay
the federal debts, provide fat offices fol
themselves and their relatives and
friends, and "make themselves solid
politically with anarchists, socialists
highwaymen and tramps.
Meanwhile, what of the intelligent
element of society?

POLITICAL NOTES.

Those who know the condition of affairs
in the home of Congressman Mutchler,
predict majority for the Republican can
didate in that strong Democratic county.
Judge Kirkpatrick's popularity in his own
county is conceded on all sides. The
county is generally Democratic by over
1000. In Carbon county there is no ques-
tion that Judge Kirkpatrick will poll a
good vote and safely carry that county.
The Democratic split in Carbon between
the Esser faction and the Klotz men, who
now seem to be on top, is likely to prove
fatal to the Democratic candidate. 1t is
not believed that Robert Klotz can SEQ any
advantage to himself in the election of
Hart, of Pike, for it is generally accepted
that Carbon was left out in the cold
in the political deal which resulted
in the nomination of Candidate Hart, of
Pike. The situation in Monroe is pecu-
liarly interesting to the Republicans. 1t
is not expected that an open bolt will re-
suit from the present indifferent feeling
among the politicians, but one thing is
certain, unless the Democratic leaders take
off their coats and work for their candi-
date the vote can not be polled, and as q
result, there will be large falling off in
the Democratic vote, which is confidently
looked for by the Republicans. Pike
county will not cut any figure in the coming
election, and there is even some question
if Hart will be able to poll his own party
vote. Indeed, Judge Kirkpatrick's cleo
tion is almost as certain as anything can
well be in district in which the other fell
low has the nominal advantage.
