The Harlem Democratic dab of New York city gave a dinner on the 89th of last month, which was intended Sa the opening gun of canvass. Hon. Chas. A. Dana in responding to the toast. “The Press” made use of the following language: “While it was necessary that the South should be put down, it is a melancholy fact that the principle of State rights was in a groat measure also put down. There can he no self defense without Statu lights. The great duty of the ipeoplj? is the restoration of Stafe rights to the predominance it formerly possessed. That is the principal ajnPotvjed, in ray opinion, of the Democratic party.” The “predominance which State Eights formerly possessed” was the belief that any state or states had a right to secede and break up the Union, at any time, cml this belief is what Dana and the parly bu spoke- for think ought to be .restored.

The democratic press and also such half and half sheets as the Chicago Tribune and the Indianapolis News are now, from motives of policy, trying to make it appear that the i J resident's-message is not a free trade manifesto. The editors of the lending English papers Till# men of large understanding and know a free trade argument when they 6ee it, and have no object to gain in misrepresenting Mr. Cleveland’s state utterances. ~ They see plainly enough that the message is for free trade. We append a few specimens of their opinions: The fact is. President Cleveland has proven the policy of protection to be a .practical and theoretical absurdity. The stone now set rolling w iil not st p until the idol cif pro fiction is broken in pieces. = ="lTou(ldii Daily News. It is remarkablo that Mr. Olevelaud has the murage "to confrijlit t4:e serried plmlaux of protoctionists on the i*ve of a contest for the presidency. When trade is free every nation discovers its fittest work. —London Times. It must exercise an absolute paramount influence oa the presixlential election. The governing issue will be protection or free trade. —Londpu Daily Globe. The message will produce a profound sensation in Europe ns .we!!, as in America, aud will strengthen 'ttnrffee trader’s cause throughout the world. —London Standard.

! He does not seem to perceive i the effects of his own . arguments, |or even the meaning of his own words. 11 is statement that tin Ulflbsttoli -of free trade is irrelevant is astonishing and preposterous. —London Daily News. Establish free trade. President Clcvelaml’s policy may not, in lhe 'strictest, /sense of the woi\!, but it will, to ft great extent, make free trade.—|koi]don Daily Times.
