continued. 1.-The Democrats seem to have
gone to pieces but when the offices are
distributed next year and the battle and
resentments begun, and the Republi.

complete redistribution of party force
and there will be a great and conclusive

menting on the political situation in the
United States says: We have no reason
to suppose that Mckinley is a less
ardent protectionist than formerly, and
his election to the presidency would un.
doubtedly be a serious misfortune to
British He has Il plausible
reason for re-impOsing the tariff which
President Cleveland toned down. The
revenue of the United States no longer
equals the expenditures, and recurring
deficits are as much the rule
as recurring SURPRISES used to be.
Nor is there much room for retrench-
ment, except in the monstrOusly in.
tiated and scandalously jobbed pension
list, and it is not the least likely McKin-
ley will apply the knife to that upas
tree. Pensions are the most convenient
reward for election services. Even
President Cleveland shirked overhaul
ing the list, with the view of placing it
upon a less corrupt footing. That
method of retrenchment being imprac.
ticable until political virtue is more
robust, Mckinley will be able to urge q
strongly protective tariff as absolutely
necessary to stave off bankruptcy.
