TIME WILL TELL.

silly twaddle about England’s approval of tne Wilson tariff bill is a remnant of an old scarec. ow. During recent presidential campaigns we have heard a great deal about British gold. deluded readers of Republican newspapers were made to believe that the country was flooded wi.h British gold. A more absurd proposition c uld not be advanced A low tariff ii this' country would proye a, severe blow to England. Why? Because it will at once place the United States in a position to compete with England in the markets of the world. Our facilities for manufacturing are far better than England’s. Both iron ore and coal are more abundaut and more cheaply obtained he. e than in England. England’s trade supremacy wis bro’t about by cultivating friendly trade relations with all other nations. ■ Although the trade of the United Stat s with foreign powers amounted to the enormous sum of more than a billion dollars last year, it could have bean easily doubled under a policy that cultivates trade rather than the prohibitory policy that repels it. Whenever you hear a newspaper say that free trade in America will benefit England, set it down as an ignoramus or a hypocrite. It iB one or the other. The United States will in time become Eng land’s strongest competitor for trade in the markets of the world. The time will come when American vessels, floating the stars at d a ripes, and carrying the j roducts of American skill will be found upon every sea. These things will not occur, however, until the prohibitory tariff wall is torn down,. An enlightened civilization wil] wail.

“I am unablo to understand why frauds in the pension rolls should not be exposed and corrected with thoroughness and vigor. Every name fraudulently put upon these rolls is a w eked imposition upon the kindly sentiment in which pensions have their origin; every fraudulent pensioner has become a bad citizen; every false oath in support of a pension has -made perjury more commo., and false and undeserving pensioners rob the people, not only of 1 heir money, but of the patriotic sentiment which the survivors of the war fought for and the preservation of the Union ought to inspire.” No one but a fraudulent pensioner can object to the above extract from President Cleveland’s message. It should reejive the sanction of every faithful soldier. It is the policy of the democratic party to deal liberally with the deserving.
