Mgz, TILDEN'S INTENTIONS in regard to the presidential xace will probably not ‘be fully determined witil Gov. Hendricks returns from Europe. '/

INDICATIONS point unerriugly tothe nomination of Carter Harrison for Governor by the Illinois Democracy. His running qualities are 5uperb,.......

CoL. DuDLEY has already discoverod that it will not be as easy a job.to down Major Calking as he fancied a few weeks ago, The Major’s friends are wide-awake and full of fight, It lis already settled that Dudley will not have.a walk-over in the convention.

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT is reported from irom regions of the East. A number of iron“works have resumed operations during the past two weeks, giving employment to' many laborers who have had no work for weeks and months, Wages are still low, but a half 104 f is better than no bread atall.

- It BEGINS to look as if thefight in the republican national conyention would be between the adherents of Arthur and Blaine. The former will have the support of the southern delegates, while Blaine will be earnestly pushed by the anti-stalwart element. It bids fair to be a red-hot contest, with the chances decidedly inTavor of a dark horse. =~ =

THERE i 8 still the utmost doubt prévalent in regard to Mr. Tilden’s political intentions, Every few days somednterviewa:,a'x;nounces‘ that the Sage of Gramercy persistently refuses to permit the use of his name in connection with the ‘presidential nomjnation; but strange to say no statement to that effect has appeared over Mr. Tilden’s signature, . Until that occurs, the old ticket will continue to grow in pepular demand, regardless of what politicians may do or say about it.

RELIABLE INFORMATION from Washington is to the effect that the Democrats in Congress are in a fdir way to agree upon a tariff bill that will com‘mend itself tothe judgment of considerate men generally. - Mutual concessions: are to be made, 80 as to insure harmonious action when the question comes bafore the house, The Repub-licans-were in high gleelast week over. the threatened division in' the demecratic ranks, but their hopes have béen ruthlessly destroyed by the good sense displayed by demqeratic statesmen who refuse tobe misled by the erratic Watterson of Kentucky or bamboozled by the unprincipled Aleck McClure of Philadelphta, 'bo uk 1 L lonu

' GEN. J. B, WEAVER'S paper, the lowa, ’rribu!(e,' ‘has made the remarkable discovery that “the Morrison tariff bill is a national bauk bill,” and in proof of the statement- 1t proceeds to ‘say that *Mr. Merrison estimates that the bill will reduce the revenues $35,~ 000,000,” and thus stop the payment of the national debt.” As the revenues: of the government have reachedsthe -enormous figure of $450,000,000 during the last few years, being an excess of $150,000,000 over current expenditures and interest upon the public debt, we "fail to see just how the cutting off .of $35,000,000 .annually will affect the banks, especially as the principal of 'the national debt can gnly be paid as it becomes due. A reduction of a few ‘millions annually in our national rev~enues only prevents an uneasy redun_dancy in the treasury, and the withdrawal of that amount of currency from the avenues of trade and commerce. It seems to us that all simonpure Greenbackers would naturally promote the alleged policy of their party by preventing an unnecessary accumulation of money in the vaults of the treasury, - - el Py

RECIPROCITY TRADE WITH MEXICO. That able and fearless advocate of tariff reform, the Harrisburg (Pa.) ~ Patriot, argueg’ that the reciprocity treaty with Mexico, which has been ratified by the Senate by the large vote of 41 to 20, and which will establish free trade between the two countries, ~ 'was decidedly an administration meas‘ure, both the President and Secretary of State having used their influnce to secure its ratifieation, 3%, If this treaty is not a direct step towards the doctrine of free trade in its general application, the Patriot says, it is at least a concession to the principle as applied to intercourse between contiguous nations.” It includes the same view of the question as that taken by the founders of the government, who recognized the disadvantage of interdicting free commercial inter- - course between the different States of the Union. «The treaty with Mexico is but an extended applieation. of the principle which thé early founders held to be the best commercial policy as. between adjoining States. The policy of the treaty considerably extends the limit of the principle, but without do- \ ing jlohince toits correctness. It is -but 4 pearer approach to the doctrine of those who aim at breaking down restrictive commercial barriers, gud'{ ‘who hold that there are homogeneous -economic interests between countries although their boundaries may not be contigueus. AT e\ tim olf . It may surprise some who consider President Arthur and his adiministration committed with his party to.ex_treme views on the question of protec- " tion that they should concede so much to the free traders as to favor recipropity with Mexico. - But it is becoming apparent that radicalism on the . tariff ‘question is losing its hold, and that many of its advocates now merely afTect it for the reason thdt they believe that it has yet a hold on the working - olasses. ‘The fact is they are at that point at which they. are not exactly - certain a 8 to how they stand. Their

tariff “clamor, is kept up for present popular effect, but they are not so thorougly grounded in'the faith that when they see that the etror of that

policy is-betoming apparent to the masses they will not be ready to abandon it without hesitation, =~ L The fact that Senator Cameron who is regarded as mqm?“m tection and Qw nts whit is con‘sidered the great tariff State, changed his pair on the question of ratifying the Mexican reciprocity tresty. from opposition to it on theé M&” to support of it when it , iows &

weakening of the extreme protective position. It may be that the movement in connection with treaty is a step by tariff Bourbonism towards adopting more liberal views on the economic and commercial questions of the day, and it would not be.a matter of much surprise that after the barbarous restrictions to commercial intercourse between nations have been removed, those who are now about changing front on the tariff doctrine should claim the principal share of credit for removing them: !

“ A MOVEMENT OF GRAVE IMPORT.

The city of Paterson, New Jersey, about sixteen miles from New York, on the line.of the Erie railroad, has long been the primcipal manufacturirg: point in the United States fer American silks, The fineness of the texture of Paterson silks have afforded them a x‘tgputq\tlbn in ‘the market not exceeded by the best imported French goods.: 8o earnest have the manufacturers and operatives, engaged in running the silk looms at Paterson, been: to produce satisfactory work that the fame of their goods has excited a jeal: ous rivalry in other countries in order to preserve their American custom. Under the circumstances a movement desighed to throw American silks on: the market without.the competing advantage of - heavy duties to sustain the American producer sgainst foreign competition is calculated to excite surprise. Yet we find the men who operate the silk looms at Paterson. engaged in a concerted action to establish free trade in silk goods, and they have prepared a memorial which they hope to have passed through the New Jersey Legislature asking Congress to place imported silks on the free list. We confess this is a strike 1n favor of ‘free trade doctrines coming from an unexpected quarter. 1t has ‘uniformly been thought that the men who labor in the factories and workshops of this country at least favored the operation of tariff laws that would keep the home market from being supplied with foreign goods to the.exclusion of those made in this country. But just now the men who work in the Paterson silk factories propose to indugurate a system of Jabor that they freely admit will primarily reduce the wages they receive, But they maintain that such reduction would be compensated by equalizing the valu-el of their labor in the factories by a corresponding reduction of food produets, of clothing and of house rents, They set up the claim that whenever the prices of silk goods have been advanced by an increase of dufy levied upon foreign-made fabrics, the wages of the operatives who run the looms ‘of the mills have not been advanced; that the mill owner and -capitalist received ‘the extra compensation growing out of higher duties and ‘thereby made large profits, but that ' whenever a reduction was made-in tariff rates that wages were promptly cut down. o

- Now that another change in tariff legislation is proposed, or at least agitated, those men who do the work of. the gilk mills step forward and say that they can live without any duty whatever levied upon foreign merchandise, and they ask Congress to enact a law respecting their own lines of labor that admit of free competi‘tion in silken fabrics from all the countries of the world. . ‘ . Whether the memorial of these gkilled workmen will receive a favor‘able response in Congress we'cannot say. In fact, we do not look for present results in that direction. But the fact that the men most vitally interested have voluntarily suggested such a remarkable ‘innovation will at least have a tendency to induce a careful study-of their proposition with a view of seeking some basis that will not give the mill owner the exclusive benefit of the protective theory. to the injury of the men who toil at the spindle and the loom. It ‘cannot be denied that these mechanics eujoy the courage of honest convictions, and they haye solved a problem, in their own minds, which is at least entitled to the benefit of enlightened eriticism. ) A Startling Discovery. . Physicians are often startled by remarkable discoveries. The .fact that Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-| sumption and all Throat and Lung diseases is gaily curing patients that tl:iey! bave given up to die, is startling them to realize their sense of duty and examine into the merits of this wenderful discovery; resulting in hundreds of our best physicians using it in their practice.” Trial bottles free at D, S, Scott & Son’s Drug Store.

' Cincinnati News Journal: The Virginia straight-out Republicans, who are going to Chicago to demand admission and vote for Blaine, forget that none but. out and out crookeds from Virginia are recognized by the national republican: party since the bargain with Mahone. "

A CONUNDRUM IN ECONOMICS. Baltimore Day: The reciprocity treaty with Mexico means free trade as far as fhat country is concerned. Why limit the products and manufac tured goods of this country to Mexico ? A very few Democrats and the entire r?ublican party, with all their ingenuity, cannot answer the questign, " DON'T WANT A NAVY. Port Huron (Mich.)

Cleveland Plaindealer: Congress should ac once pass the blll giving Mrs. Gen. Steedman, of Toledo, a pension. The lady is very poor, and is supporting the General’s child, and his little grandchildren.

DORSEY’S LIEUTENANT.

Logansport Phares: Col. Dudley 18 not to have a walk-oyer. His candidacy does not strike the popular chord with amazing harmony. Respectable republicans do not like the idea of voting for Dorsey’s lieutenant. There is something shocking about the moral depravity of Dorsey’s method in carrying elections. An honest man cannot sanction them. v * 'THE CONTRAST. Baltimore Day: Tilden is dead, Holman is sunstruek, McDonald flowers are faded, Bayard is too good, Payne is below the Standard, Hoadly is sick, Field is laid waste, Thurman is too big. All are harmless —so they say. Blaine ig restless, Sherman is avaricious, Edmunds is bloodless, Logan is ludicrous, Arthur is ambitious, Lincoln is only the son of his father. All are dangerous—so we say. THE OHIO ICEBERG NOT WANTED. Cincinnati News-Journal: Beecher has an admirable way of getting at the marrow of a thing. In a recent interview he said: “On an abstract ground there is no man who would make an abler: president than John Sherman, bEt John Sherman can’t be elected.” “Why?” asked the interviewer.. The answer came pat and to. the peint: “Folks won’t vote for him.” That covers the case like a blanket. : A GENERAL DUTY. : © Savannah (Ga.) News: It is the ‘duty of ministers, the courts, the executive officers of the States, the press, and good citizens everywhere to advocate justice, law and order, and they should do this fearlessly and earnestly, no matter how great the excitement in a community, or how unpopular temporarily such a course may be. Such faithfulness to duty will rarély fail to meet popular approval in the end. b !
