the editor Of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,

"My Dear Mr.. McKelway-l have

brought out Your advocacy In the

dency came 20 me as a great surprise,

ner by Democratic sentiment that con-

have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner of a declaration on
my part concerning the subject II such
a declaration should seem necessary
or proper
"In the midst Of II all. and in full
view Of every consideration presented
have not for a moment been able, nor
am I now able, to open my mind to the
thought that in any circumstances or
upon any consideration, should ever
again become the nominee OF my party
for the presidency.

unalterable and conclusive Very sin

Bonapart Wyse, a civil engineer OF
France, has written a long letter 20
the Eclaire, in Paris, in which he
severely criticises the course OF this
country towards the republic OF Pan
anna, and calls upon the Europeon
powers TO interpose and say to the
United States stand back He
does not propose that force shall be
used to effect this plan, but that a
united voice OF those nations mostly
interested in the Isthmian affairs
would prevent this country from ex-
ceediDg its rights and result in a ref
ence of all questions arising as TO
rights jeopardizsd by the changed
condition OF things TO the Hague tri-
bunal for adjustment. Mr.. Wyse
compares our government TO lun-
attic and a highwayman and thinks
that its greed for gain should be
checked. And it turns out that Mr..
Wyse is pecuniarily and profession
ally interested in the Panama canal,
and that accounts for his great in
terest in the matter.

THE CUB4N TREATY.

Iii now certain that the extra SEES
sion of Congress. convened for the
purpose of putting into operation
a reciprocity treaty with Cuba, will
adjourn without accomplishing the
object for which it convened.
The Republican party has sale
majority in both the House and Sen
ate, and the Republican President is
heartily in favor OF the measure, so
much so that he did not feel that the
measure should wait for passage
until the regular session of Congress,
and in spite OF all this the treaty has
not yet been adopted.
II the Republican party is soaverse
to the passage OF any measure look
ing to a reduction of tariff rates, even
where the party is pledged to its pas
sage, and where there i, no substan-
tial opposition from any quarter. at
least which has had the temerity to
come out in the open and fight the
treaty, IL the party is welded tolls idol
OF protection per Sc, that ON this
question, where it's solemn pledge,
every dictate OF conscience and the
practically unanimous sentiment OF
the American people demandprompt
action, it is so slow to act, then there
can be no hope for general tarii re-
vision from this party when the day
comes, as it will in the near future,
when to maintain the prosperity OF
our home industries and to preserve
our foreign trade, some adjustment
and revision OF our tariff laws will he
imperative.
Retaliatory tariff rates will surely
be adopted in time by all the leading
commercial nations OF the world, for
their own protection, and we cannot
expect TO maintain a monopoly in
the protection business.
With all our immense resources and
colossal industries we are not indie
pendent of foreign trade, and for our
own preservation some reasonable
concessions are necessary.
Recent events have demonstrated
that it is easier for camel to pass
through the eye Of a needle than for
a Republican Congress to pass any
legislation looking to tariff reduc-
ton, and yet it remains to be seen
whether the Democrats, as party
can get away from their free trade
or its equivalent, tariff for revenue
only" hobby, and make a successful
fight for tariff reform.
