Senator Gray and Delaware.

Inc ManuiacUurer (hep).
In Delaware the Democratic organi-
zation has been placed by its leader,
Senator Gray, in opposition to the in
terests of the state. Delaware has two
chief avocations: Manufacturing in the
towns and the city of Wilmington, and
fruit growing, gardening and varied
agriculture, seeking near market in
such manufacturing places or In the
large city farther away. Senator Gray
is free trader, doctrinaire lawyer,
disregarding alike the lessons of obser-
vation and the teachings of experience.
In defiance of the interests Of the work.
ing men of Wilmington and New Cas-
tie, and every other industrial certre
in the state, he urges forward the
abominable attack on American manu-
features, and strikes thus at the ability
of those employed iu them to purchase
the grain, fruits and vegetables of the
rural portions of the state. Mr.. Gray
could not be worse enemy to thespeo-
pie of Delaware if he were paid agent
of the Commercial Exchange of the
city Of Manchester or of Berlin.
The Democratic organization being
thus led into the sloughs of free trade
by those who direct its march, the Re-
publicans, on the other hand, stand
fast for protection, and at their state
convention on Tuesday adopted a
straightout series of resolutions, de-
manding a return to the American
system and supporting the several mea-
sures which Republican policy had
established in the national behalf before
the fatal campaign of 1892.
In the election of members of the
Legislature to take place this fall the
choice of a senator of the United States
is involved. as the present term of the
Hon. Anthony Higgins will expire in |
March, 1895. On such an issue and
with the whole of the evidence in the |
case so plainly displayed to the view of |
the people, it is not credible that Della
ware will vote its support to the ruin
GUS policy of the Democratic party. |
Mr.. Higgins has proved himself an
energetic, capable and faithful repre-
sentative Of the public interests and |
should be returned without shadow
of hesitation or doubt. The cause of |
protection has had no more vigilant
friend in the Senate than he, and every
one who desires the nation to return to
the sure ground of an adequate tariff
will hope to see him triumphantly re-
elected.

OF all the productions of a human
mind for twaddle, gush and puerile
idiocy the platform adopted by ths
Democratic convention on Tuesday
surpasses any thing we have ever seen.
The man or men who framed it should
be framed themselves. 1t is without
exception the most verbose ard silly
production we know ola perfect
avalanche of words that mean nothing.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY
President Cleveland allowed the tar
iff bill to become a law without his
signature or approval, and in so doing
has shown himself, in the eyes of the
people, to be the moral coward that he
is. His recent severe denunciation
and professed disa, ,proval of the meas
ure. go for naught, and this cowardly
makeshift is the crowning act of "per-
fidy and dishonor," If he was honest
in his opposition to the German Bill
why did not he have manhood enough
to give it bis veto? He would then,
at least, have been entitled to the re
spect of the people; but now he and his
party alike are stencil in the nostrils
of the nation. His reasons for neither
signing the bill or vetoing it are made
public through private letter via Mr..
Catchings, and is the weakest utterance
that ever came from man who claims
to be statesman, and the most COM
plete act of compromise and stultifica-
tion on record. He cannot veto the
bill because, forsooth, he will not per-
mat himself to be separated from his
panty, and though he cannot sign it, he
completes his own humiliation when he
says that the bill, which he so lately de-
clared was false and iniquitous, il at
least Democratic effort. 1t is not good
enough for him to put his name to it but
he allows it TO become a law, and
straight way the Democratic press with
surprising Unanimiiy begins to extol
the President and his wonderful letter,
which is called "bold and sturdy
declaration of principles''coming' from
man in whose honesty and sincerity
of purpose the people have absolute con-
fidence, and whose fidelity to their in
terests has been manifested time and
again. baltimore SUM-
Fidelity to their interests is it to sit
in the White House and sulk in bull
headed stubborness, nursing his per-
sonal grievances when the nation was
in the throes Of great crisis! Or when
great questions of national poliiy were
pending, to go off fishing with some of
his cronies. If he is a man of such
honesty and sincerity of purpose why
did he not manifest it by calling Con-
gress again in extra session Immediately
upon its adjournment and have the
Senate vote on the bill for free sugar,
which the House had passed? 1t would
require but a few minutes for the
Senate to pass the bill to put sugar
where it was under the Mckinley Act.
and, by, giving the people this one of
the necessities of life, untaxed, would
indicate ,0mething like sincerity. But
the infamous tax of the Sugar Trust
remains, together with the Ubiquitous
income tax, and Mr.. Cleveland and his
party are plainly one. Dishonesty,
incapacity and knavery are branded
upon their every act, and if the people |
do not make manifest their abkorrance
of the whole thing next November,
then We are much mistaken in our
estimate of American citizenship.

THE OPPRESSIVE SUGAR TAX:
From the BOSTON Herald

(rIOIu Tie DOStOH utTdiu.J
The sugar schedule of the new tariff
levies, directly and Indirectly, a tax
of $7O,000,000 upon the consumers
of it. 1t is per capita tax, the most OBJ
jectionable form that taxation can
take, for it bears with disproportioate
weight upon the poor. In this respect
it is as cruel as bread tax.
The outrage is intensified by the
fact that $27, 600, 900 of the consumers
of sugar is levied for the enrichment
of the sugar reflners and sugar
growers. As to the other part Of the
burden-the $42, ,OOO,O 900 which will go
into the Treasury-the levy is not at
all justified by the financial outlook.

1T is mighty poor argument for
Democrats to say that there will be
mixed sch sols if the Republicans come
intopower despite their platform to the
contrary. The answer to this argu-
ment is, that the Republicans have
never yet failed in their promises to the
people, and they certainly would not in
this case as the Democrats well know.

RECORD OF THE SESSION.


The record of Congress for this ses.
sion is new co ed and it may be sale
with entire truth that record les.
creditable or more unsatisfactory te
the country can hardly be recalled in
the experience of recent years.
The session has been dragged through
nearly nine months, and the measures
OF public consequence which have been
acted on can be counted on the fingers
Of one hand. Chief among them are
the repeal of the Federal elections law,
the antitrust statute and the tariff bill.
This first is political measure, the
second is likely to become dead let
ter, and the best that can be said of the
l lst is that 1t is not as bad as no bill or
the dismal failure of all legislation.
Besides this sorrow showing, the re-
cord Of the session is blackened by the
useless and inexcusable imposition of a
Populistic tax. against which the peo-
pie have protes' ed as wanton outrage
and which they will not loEg tolerate
on the statute books of the nation.
Had Congress saved its record from
this blot and passed satisfactory tariff
bill, the Of her shortcomings of the ses-
sion would have been overlooked. Had
1T accepted even the iniquitous German
bill in the beginning the country would
have been saved at least the long delay
which proved so disastrous to trade,
industry and labor. But as it has
turned out, nearly nine months have
ceen wasted in tariff tinkrring, to the
exclusion of all other matters of public
utility, and The final result reached in
the closing days of August is a tariff
law which will put every Democrat on
The defensive in the coming campaign
which I be head of The panty has openly
and will not sign as Presi-
dent, and which is saddIed with q use

Tuesday demonstrated the fact beyond
doubt that Willard Salisbury is the

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
MIXED SCHOOLS,

MIXED SCHOOLS.
For years, when other resources were
exhausted, The Democratic papers have
raised the cry of mixed schools and we
cannot but say at times it has had its
effect. When other war cries have
failed to rally forces this one has al

stock argument being, that should the
Republican PARTY come intopawer they
would inaugurate system of mixed
schools; while no right thinking man
ever thought Snch thing, it was a
good way to draw scattered forces to-
gether and it worked. bat this year to

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. August 29th, 1884,
Mr.. Cleveland wildly advertised back
bone has apparently turned to Jelly.
The tariff bill which he so bitterly
abused became the law Of the land at
midnight Monday, because he lacked
the nerve to veto it. If instead of af-
fecting the interest of thousands. nav
millions, of people, it had merely af-
fected ths interest of some poor devil
who had sought relief from Congress
he would have sprung a veto on it
quick enough. BAIL Let the country
bear no more Of this mans courage.
He has the courage of the bully and
1braggart only. He is always ready to
jump on some little thing but when it
comes to something big be ignores it.
No wonder that Mr.. Cleveland has
not acted upon the report, of the
