Mr.. Cleveland's claim in his speech
at New York that the Republicans have
been guilty of bad faith iii bringing for
ward protective tariff measure is utter
~ unfounded. Protection occupied a
prominent place in the party IS platform,
and the candidate over and over again
declared that his election and the cleo
ton of the Republican Congress would
be quickly followed by the enactment of
a protective tariff measure. Protection
and sound money were the cardinal prin-
ciples OF the Republican platform. The
Democrats supported Mckinley we'll
knowing that his election would be fol-
lowed by the passage of protection
measure. They were compelled by the
situation to choose between protection
and free silver coinage, and they chose
the former, as lesser evil perhaps, but
they chose it. 1t is absurd to set up the
pretence now that they were deceived.
That impeaches their intellect, and if it
We're well founded would convict them
of being intellectually blind.

A Washington despatch to the Boston
Advertiser says the Senate will place a
duty on hides in the tariff bill, this be-
ing the price demanded by two western
Senators whose votes are needed to pass
any bill The despatch also says that
the House will probably assent to the
duty. From 4 practical point of view
this is, we believe, bad mistake, but
having imposed a duty on wool for the
benefit Of the sheep grower, it was diff
cult, we confess, to refuse duty on
hides for the benefit of the cattle grow
er. If the latter demanded it, as he
seems to have done with great unanimity
and emphasis.

not direct. Mr.. Rowland was eft to do
that all alone by himself, and now ap-

are bankrupt. There ought to be some
punishment inflicted upon men who

money on the strength of this assump-
ton, when as matter of fact they pay emo

1t is lutte time that the farmers of the
country should understand that the price
OF agricultural products is regulated by
the supply and demand, and that the
tariff has about as much to do with it as
it has with the rise and fall of the tide.
Wheat commands high price when the
production is not equal to the demand,
and it commands a low price when there
are good crops throughout the wheat
growing world.-Bangor Com mercial.
If supply and demand regulate the
price Of wheat what becomes of the
claim of the silver apostles who were as
serting last summer that wheat and
silver were tied together, and that the
former rose and fell in sympathy with
the rise or fall Of the latter. Are you
not admitting, esteemed silver contem-
porary, that the claim Of the silver
men that there was q close connection
between the price of wheat and the price
of silver was humbugP
