II may be to some purpose TO compare
the predictions Of the Democrats made In
1893 with the facts In 1894 and 1895. No
theories are necessary now nor Is there
any occasion for profound argument. We
were told that a reduced tariff would re-
suit in better foreign trade. and that
while the manufacturer was protected
the farmer was shut of from profitable
markets. Many good people said: Let
us give this theory a trial. We have
given IT "A trial. We want to know the re-
suits.

Lincoln,s Frankness with Hooker.

AT no stage Of the war was the Army
of tho Potomac i'll such demoralized
condition as during the period from the
defeat of Fredericksburg until Hooker
was called to the command. Lincoln
believed that some of Burnside's corps
commanders were unfaithful to him,
and where was he to get commander?
1t is an open secret that Sedgwick,
Meade and Reynolds each in turn de-
clined it, and the president finally turn
ed to Hooker as the only man whose en-
thusiasm might inspire the demoralized
army into effectiveness as an aggressive
military power. That Lincoln was much
distressed at the condition then existing
is evident from many sources, but lie
makes it specially evident in charac-
teristic letter addressed by him to
Hooker on the goth of January, 1868,
telling him of his assignment to the
command of the Army Of the Potomac.
In this letter be says to Hooker: 81
think that during General Burnsidos
command of the army you hayo taken
counsel of your ambition and thwarted
him as much as you could, III which
you did great wrong to the country
and to most meritorious and honor

milton like true soldier. His answer
