IN A NUTSHELL.
There Ii No Necessity for the stuffed
Prophet To Speak.

Ahcto n NJ <ete>>tty Tor the stunned
Prophet TO Speak.
There are many persons in the United
States who reNile and ridicu3e Hon.
Stephen Grover Cleveland. president of
the United States. They sheer a; him.
They deride his claims TO being conse-
Grated. They ieer in tiendish manner
at the assumption that he is n man of
destiny. Their contumely is poured out
rs freely as certain fanatics would have
the minis pour out the dollars of our
daddics.
But If Mr.. Cleveland is prophet with
out special honor in his own country; IL
he withholds the announcement that he
is ready for third term in the fear
that IL would be followed by n bloody
riot in which he would disappear from
the face OF the earth, still fellow citizens,
let not the fact.be forgotten that there
are places on this fair globe of ours
where Stephen Grover Cleveland is held
IL high honor and is regarded with that
satisfaction which comes from lively
expectation OF favors TO come.
One of these places isthe ancient town
ct Bradford, in Merry England. There,
thanks to an American democratic
tariff for deficit. business has been
spouting. jumping and thriving. The
loyal subjects of her gracious majesty
the queen, there resident. have been pill
ing up the pounds, shillings and pence
in a manner most delightful and COM
forting to john Bulls commercial ma
lure. While they were fourishing in
this cheerful manner. workmen on this
side of the Atlantic were not thriving
Indeed, they complained. and bitterly
too. of hard times and difficulty in OBJ
tanning employment.
That should not excite wonder when
we read that in bradford alone in one
Iearits exports of coatings TO the United
States jumped from 81 200. 900 to s.. 500
600 and I'm 1895 its entire trade with the
United States increased from IS, 200 900
10 SOS, 100000.
We may say what we will of demo-
cratic tinanciering; we may accent or re-
,ect the democratic contention that hard
times would have been suffered il Gen.
harrison had been reelected in 1892
and the tariff for deficit had never
been placed on the statute books. but
the fact is not TO be ignored that, as n
result of democratic legislation on this
side of the Atlantic. the trade of the
English town of Bradford has been ben
Gifted within the last IL months as
the trade of no American community
has been stimulated or promoted
Shave hairs as we may over the tariff
invoke the shadows of Bright and Cob
den; glorify Clay, Lincoln, Blaine, Al
lison and Aldrich-yet facts like this
stand in the broadest and boldest re-
lief.
No American city. no American inter
est has been fostercd and benefited by
so-calied democratic statesmanship.
while, IL we look beyond the sea. we
shall see business jumping: the rivals of
our manufacturers growing rich, while
foreign workingmen are earning the
wages which should go TO the pockets
ci American workers.
This is the subject in a nutshell. Here
we have the matter so presented that il

In view of this condition of affairs.
how absurd IL is for a newspaper like the
Louisville Courier-Journal to continue
TO regard Mr.. Cleveland as a presiden-
tial quantity. 1t says: The time has
come when he ought 10 speak out. He
should dissipate these injurious reports
circulated largely by his enemies. but

So far as the great majority OF the
American people is concerned. il is n
matter OF supreme Indifference what
MIR. Cleveland may or may not think on
the third term question. His record is
made. He stands up MS tariff reformer.
and whether he speaks or remains silent
