Suspicions Praise.

Cincinnati Kimuii-ei- (Item.) The praise of an enemy, be it a personal, a political or a business competitor, is always ground for suspicion and embarrassment. The unstinted approval of the British press is not a thing to be coveted by an American running over with patriotism. The extraordinary haste of some leaders in our party has been equaled only by zeal of the English papers in j commending the tariff revision now proposed. The applause or hissing of an enemy, or business competitor, should play no part in our action, but it must jar on the sensibilities of the American merchant or manufacturer to be patronizingly patted on the back by English journals and tradesmen. Did England ever favor anything that was truly American or for the benefit of American business men?
