Poor Politics.

The New York "Times,n which dur
ing the campaign of 1896 openly came
out for Mckinley and held out al sorts
of conditions of facts and figures as rea-
sons for this unseemly action, now
views the situation, as existing at pres
ent, with manifest alarm. The "Timesn
was one of the strongest of Democratic
papers until last year, and was excep-
tionally bitter against Bryan and Free
Silver. The following editorial from
recent issue will show that the "golden
calf at whose shrine it worshipped,
has, in some particulars at least, turned
out to be the vilest dross and scum
metal:
'"The losses and business depression
from which the people have suffered
during the past three years have cost
the Democratic party votes and vic
tories. The 'ins' are always punished
for bad times.
Good times have not yet come back.
The Republican party is doing its best
to defer their coming by entering upon
a general revision of the tariff, the most
upsetting and business destroying oc-
cupation in which it could have en-
gagged. The Fall elections will give the
people an opportunity to pass judg-
ment upon this policy.
The Republicans boosted that they
were the advance agents of prosperity.
They are going to set up as the contin-
uators of adversely. The popular resent-
ment will be intensified by the knowl-
edge that the disturbing legislation of
the extra session is largely undertaken
for the enrichment of favored indus
tries and monopolistic concerns by con-
tributions eXtorted from the consumers.
The McAinleyizing of the tariff at
this time is poor politics and poor pa
triotism.u

The Farmers and Protection.
From the New York Journal. |


The journal yesterday published
the general plan of the tariff bill
which the Incoming Congress aud
Administration will make law. Of
course, the measure falls far short of
the extreme protectionism of the IA
nous Mckinley bill" Equally, of
course, what it lacks in seeming benefi-
cence to workingmen it replaces by
supposititious henevolence to The
farmer, And thereby hangs political
tale. Time was that the Republican
party reckoned the farmer as It's own.
1t gave him little thought, putting
him down at ell, ction time with the
most perfect confidence on the right
side of the ledger. The working
man was the fellow for whom Repu6-
licans reached out. They preache pro-
lection for him and for his masters,
and exerted every effort to convince
him that he could be taxed into pros.
perity. Normally Democratic, the
nottingham 10 some degree yielded to
these Establishments. Last year he
voted for Mckinley, aud this year he
is sorry.
Curiously enough, when the me-
chanic-who has been Democrat
b came a Republican, the farmer
who has long been Republican-be
came Democrat. The watchful poll
titcians of the Republican party quick
ly discovered this fact, and formulated
tn tariff bill which will be presented
to the Eext Congress. with view to
winning back the farming element.
They will try to ''protectn agricultural
products in the face of the fact that
prices for wheat, corn and even wood
are fixed abroad in competition with
countries which export under the slim
ulating effects of silver standard.
They will put duty on dressed meats
for the benefit of the "Big Four" of
Chicago. In short, they will make
every effort TO persuade the men who
draw wealth from the soil that the Re-
publican party again turns to their
support.
The fat of the matter is that effort
to aid the farmers by protective duties
is hopeless. We export and do not i'm
port food products. The tariffs of no
possible advantage to the farmer. The
duties Levied ON his products by the
Dingley bill were fixed for political
purposes only-and nobody knows that
better than Mr.. Dingley. If the farm.
ers of the United States allow them
selves to he diverted from the money
issue-which t. them is all important
Oy cheap bride IN the tariff bill. they
will ruin themselve; and grieve their
friends.

John D. Long to be Secretary of
the Navy.

1t is settled that Ex-Governor John
ID. Long, of Massachusetts, will be
Major McKinley's Secretary of the
Navy. A letter came to Canton Mon
day night from Mr.. Long, in which he
announced that he would accept the
naval portfolio.
John Davis Long was born in Buck
field, Me-, October 27, 1888, and was
educated at Harvard College. After
graduation he taught school He stud
led law at the Cambridge Law School
and he began the practice of law in
Bos on.
His first political office was that of
State Representative. In 1879 he was
Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts,
AID WAS Governor for three years, be-
ginning with 1850.
After the expiration of his term as
Governor, he was elected a Representa-.
tive to Congress, and in that capacity
served during the Forty-eighth, Forty.
ninth and Fiftieth Congresses.
Since his retirement from Congress
Mr.. Long has devoted himself to the
practice of law in Boston.

Reforms for Cuba.

Spain has recently completed list
of reforms for Cuba and now awaits
the formal acceptance of the same by
the insurgents. The Cuban patriots
have had a taste of Spanish reform in
the past, and are not out of breath from
running to kneel at the Queen Regents
feet and accept her graciousness. There
are other things the Cubans are now
fighting for besides the independence
of the island, and Spain knows this
only too well. She looks to be playing
a game for sympathy with the public,
by whom now she is regarded with the
most unmitigated disgust. The afore-
said reforms are not to go into effect
until Spain thinks proper, and until
the island has thoroughly recovered
from the effects of the war. This may
be years, and, in the meantime, the
people of the island are to live on eX-
pectantly. Spain surely is good
mother to their fractions infant, who
persists in disputing her despotic sway,
She has trampled upon its spirit of lib
erty, crushed its ambition and hopes,
and sent to the death, or to loathsome
Spanish dungeons, the flower of its
youth and manhood. All this, before
the loyal patriots rose in rebellion, and
now, that they have maintained a
fierce warefare for nearly two years,
the mother country hopes to induce
them to come back to her peacefully
and take the bogus crumbs of comfort
she holds out so alluringly to them.
Spain is in such a strait that she has
laid a war taXinpon persons who come
over her boundaries by land or sea.
Her treasury is depleted and the eX-
penses of the war are increasing day
after day. 1t must soon end, or Spain
will be obliged to hang out the red flag.
For the Cubans it is nothing but Cuba
Libre;" they have risked their all in
the present struggle, and have only to
gain by Il decisive victory. No COM
promise, especially like the one now
proposed by Spain, will be listened to
for moment. Congress still refuses to
take action on the Cuban resolution.
