They did not dare to disvegard the great manufpeturing interests of that state so far as tc dencunce the tariff an unconstitutional fraud, but on the contravy they declured that lnbor must not be discriminated against in tho col- lection of revenues and that it must be cherished und fostered. This shows that the framers of the Connecticut platform hud a wholesome foar of arous- ing the opposition of the thousands of wage-carners in that state who ave di- rectly benefited by the present protect ive policy. A plank was also adopted protesting against the issue of uny bank bills that are not as safely secured as national bank bills, which is distinet repudiation of the Chicag laration of principles. What the pue- ticular influences were that led the domocracy of Connecticut to 0ppose the wild banking heresy of the national convention we donot know, but no ex- planation of its position on the tanif is requived. 1t simply did not dare to ad- vocate free trade. the demo- unother [t becomes more apparent from day to cuy that the Chicago platform was one of the most gigantic political blunders of the age. It is destrc rity of the democratic party in ti states which it must positively next November or go down to minious defeat. The signs of the times were never so auspicious as now for a prolonged period of undisturbed pros- perity for the manufacturers and winge- edrners of this country under protec- igno- | the commer tive luws. The free trade hosts ave al- ready wavering and will soon be utterly routed. — SEEKING DISTANT MARKETS. There is little ground for the wide- epread feeling in BEngland that the United States s a commorcinl enemy whose chief aim is to cripple and injure English industrial interests, but it is perfectly true that this country is vi, orously reaching out for new murkets and is stoadily preparing to contest the supremucy of Great Britain in evory available field of competition. This is strictly legitimato from every point of view, and whutever jenlousics and dis- appointments this policy may engender among English manufacturors und mor chants it will unquostionibly be ad- hered to a8 the only businesslike course for a p lo to pursue, An euterprise that is just now attract- inga ereat deal attention in New York illustrates the push and energy that characterizes Amorican business men in their conseless quest for new und profitane fields of commercial activity, A wovement is on foot looking to the orgunization of an association of mer- chunts and manufacturers for tho pur- pose of opening the markets of South Africa to American trado. Theassocia- tion is to be incorporated with a capital | of 3500,000 and is to huve offices at Now York and Cape Town, with numerous branches and agencies in South Africa and Madagascar, It is proposed to open a permanent exhibition at Cape Town where samples of munufactures from this country will be shown, Muchinery, mining, quaceying and agricultural im- plements and merchandiso of all kinds will hore be exhibited, with power for the propulsion of the wachinery und gressive po of R —— THE OMAHA suitable warehouses and show rooms for the disvlay of the various articie It will ba seen that if suocessfully cartiod out this enterprise will piace the United States in direct and formidable competition with Great Britain in w field which the Iatter has considerod safo from invasion by Amorican manu- fac turers and merchants. But thero is no good reason why the growing in- dustri of this country should not share the South Afriean trade if com- petition can be made profitable there. lingland has no vight to complain of any disadvantages which she may suffer by reason of Ameriean encronchment upon fal domain which she has 80 long considered hor own, She is dis turbed becanse American reciprocity has damaged her trade in South America, and it may be that she will find faulv if | this South African enterprise is carried out; but the Amsrican people are now devoling themselves to business, and if they set a fast pace Great Britain will have to quicken hers, ND [MMIGRATION. Attorney General Miller has rendered un opinion declaring that the president of the United States has power to totally exclude all vessels coming from any for- eign vort or country where any contag- ious disease may exist. Conceding tho correctness of this opinion the president may put a stop to the immigration of all persons coming from countrios or ports where cholera exists. As the attorne genoral hus given this question very careful attention there will be a genaral disposition to accopt his conclusion, and undoubiedly the pressure npon the pres- ident toinduee himto exercise his power will be greatly inereased. There is uvery general and urgent demand for the suspension of immigra- fion, und there can be no doubt that if the president should respond favorably to it the action would beapproved by the entire country. A movement has besn stirted for uniting a numbor of cities peculiarly exposed to the danger of a cholera 1nvasion in a memorial to the president to put astop to immigration for aspecified period or until all danger of cholera epidemic is passed, and un- doubtedly these citios will prompily join in such an appeal. In that event the president, unless he seriously doubts his authority to proceed to the extremity . will doubtless comply. Ho has shown a very earnest solicitude in this matter, and if he shall see his way clear to a suspension of immigration without exceeding the executive powers he prob- ably not hesitate o take the d uetion. That the situation has become ex- tromely perilous it would be foolish to deny. The pestilenco has obtained a foothold in this sountry, and notwith- stunding the warnings of this govern- ment - vessels continue to ship emi- grants from the cholera-infected ports of Europe whose destination tha Untted Seates, This criminal disregard of the welfare of our people can be met only by decisive action excluding abso- lut from American waters all vessels coming from the infected ports of The exizency demands that there be no half way measures. The thiouteved invasion of a hostile urmy could eall no move urgently for a vigor- ous and aggressive policy for repelling it than does the menaco to the life of the people of an invasion of cholera, and monns must be employed to pre- vent the plague from spreading hero by reason of the incoming of emigrants. It is obvious that so loag as immigra- tion is permitted to continue theve will be dunger, and the difliculties of stamp- ing out the disease here will be in- creased. 1t is not to be doubted that there will be general acquiescence in the opinion of the attorney genoral, and conceding that the president has the power to exclude vessels from infectod ports his duty is plain. TOO APPARENI FOR DEBATE, Mr. Charles A. Dana does not take any stock in the efforts of the demo- cratic managers to discredit the ties of Rubor Commissioner P ing that broduction and wages in the manufacturing inaustries of the s York bave increased since present tariff law went into effect, In liis paper that “shines for all” Mr. Duna says: “Bedlums of calamity s or streaws of demagogie plati- tudes, about the woalth of the rich and the poverty of the poor, cannot make un issue upon the question of prosperity in New York or elsewhere in this country The evidence of uctive and wholesome business is too appavent for debate,” The distinguished editor is rigat, No man who will examine the returns of the country’s commerce, foreign and do- mostic, will question that he is right, They make a showing that ought to be gratifying 1o every American citizen, whether democrat or republicin, be- cause they meun that a large addition has been mude to the wealth of the nu- tion and that commercial advantages have been secured which promise to be of permunent value, The facts regard- ing the foreign commerce of the United States during the fiscal your ended June 80, 1802, in comparison with a corres- nonding period immediately before the present tarift law went into effect, can- not be too often referred to. They show thut our exports increused in the fiscal year of 1592 over 1800 to the value of over $210,000,000, and that the increase over the annual average for the ten yeurs prior to 1 was over $400,000,~ 000, What class of our people derived the groatest direct benefit from this lurgely augmented foreign trade? The agricultural producers, for the exports of breadstufls of 1892 exceeded the yuluo of the same exports in 1890 by the sum of $144,000,000, und exceeded the aver age annual value for the ten years prior Lo I801 by the sum of $131,000,000. Adaing the increase in the exports of provisions, cattle, sheep and hogs and the totul 1s brought up to $159,000,000 for 1892 over 1800, and $215,000,000 in excess of the average annual value of the ten years prior to 1891, S0 much in general terms for the for- elgn trade of the country. The domes- tie business muy not have grown in equal proportion, but there can be no question that it has largely increased.

This country is roalizing & move papid material growth thun any other, goun in the world, und is rapidly advancing to tho position of the foromost dommereial nation. We owe this to our natural advantiges, de veloped and fostered by the policy of the republican piity, and upon the main- tenance of that policy depends our cons tinued progress, — REFRESHING FRANKVESS. A member of the New York Tarift Reform elub writes to the World inclos ing a dollar for the corruption fund and saying that “'the west is the place where it will go the farthest. The money it would take to carry New York by bribe ery and corruption would carry the west ten times over.” This is a remarkably frank and out- spoken expression of un castern demo- crat’s opinion of western integr! and honor, and the small size of his contri- bution proves that lie really believes what ho says, The tone of all the ap- peals that have bsen mude for fands with which to carry the west for Cle land has shown that the democratic caumpaign managers are proceeding upon the assumption that there is to bo a foreed sule of votes in the west this fall and that they will go for & song Tvon what foundation this assumption stands it would be hard to determine. The western people are not in a state of venury, and even those who would by willing to barter their suffrages or pros- titute their personal influenee would un- doubtedly demand a fair p . Thore is nothing in the histo of politieal campaigning in the west to justify the belief that *“the money it would take to carry New York by bribery and corrup- tion would carry the west ten times " Infact it is well known that efforts to corrupt the voters of the west in behalf of the democratic 'ty have always failod. Thero is a pur- chasable element in all centers of popu- Lation. but in comparison with the great mass of honest men who mike up both the rural and the urban population of the western states it is so small as to bo absolutely insignificant. If wo correctly estimate the neral character of the people whom the cor- ruptionists expect to win over to Cleve- land and free trade by the use of money, they will indignantly resent the insult when the proper time comes, over. HORACE BOIEs has broken his long silence by delivering a speech; in vrhich he mukes no divect orindirect reference to Cleveland and Stevenson. But he malkes up for that lack by repeating his utterly idiotic and stupid claim that the farmers are 1osing 1 on their corn crops. Itis inconceivable how a man of goodisense can Mrcomo silliciently inoculatéd with the vicus of stale vreach- ory and blatant demagogism, as well as luck of prudence, to make such bold- faced assertions in Carroll county, one of the most fertile spots of land under the sun, whose farmers are today r1ding in carviages ond rapidly accumulating acres and bank accounts of enormous amounts. THE republican state convention 1n Texas was opened by prayer, in 'which the minister invoked the divine blessing upon Judge Clarke, whose candiducy the convention afterwards endorsed. An amendment to the prayer was offered by adelegate s0 that” another candidate might be included in the benediction, All this is evidence that running for office on the republican ticket in Texus is & most grave ana serious matter.

In this emergonoy (tovernor Flower has clearly proved that ho vossesses exacu- tive abilivy, e OTHEE LANDS THAN OURS. So far as rogards Mr. Gladstone's ideas on the British occupation of Kgypt, he has alwars deciared that England Is bound by the letter and the spirt of international agreements to ovacuate that country. The only question is as to whether ho would con- sider the present an opportuno time for adopting what his political opvonents have callea u ‘“policy of scuttle.” Recent dis- patches from Cario have assected that the British headquarters, staff and garrison ln that city will be removea gradually to Alex andria, where practically the whole remain- vz British forco in Beypt will to concen- trated. After six mouths Kngland will be represonted at Alexandria probably only by the ironclads. She will bo ready, however, on short notice, to send oun troovs from Cyprus to meet an emorgency. It is true that an official denial of this project has been mage by the Baglish foreign offico, but such denials are common: and, as fmmodiate evacuation is not contempiated, the vlan is in strict accord with Mr. Gladstone's pre- viously expressed entiments, If the evacuation of . Fgypt should be car ried out it would be certain to iucito angry remonstrance on the part of Kuro- pean investors in Egyptian bonds, and as Lord Itosebery's late wife was a daughter of Baron Rotnschild, who represonts the P tian boadholdors, the latter has aoubtless held the opinion that their interests would be secure with Lord Rosebery 1u the foreign oftice. There ean be ao doubt that English oceupation has largely benefited Egypt, al- thoughgthe French government has always ovposed the diversion of publio revenues to the accomplishment of needed reform. It 1s believed in England that France, unable so far to make herself heard in matters affect- ing the coutrol of Beypt, has made important concessions to Gireat Britain and in the New- foundiand aispute, and has also promised her co-operation in Morocco. 1f this shall prove to be so, it will be witeresting to wateh the attitude assumed by the trile alliance. With France and England acting togethor, and Russia supporting France, the interna- tional polities of Kurops would take on a new complexion, ‘The recent munieinal are the first ju which no party but the republicans took part. There were few it y royalist or church candidates. There were socialists and moderates or conserva- tives, but no representative of any party which questions the stability ov desires the overthrow of the repablic. Uniess it be an occasional extreme socialist there were no candidates who really ropresented disco tent or dissatisfaction with the republic. This s a sigoificant fact, for it indicates n condition of things whicih has not existea before in I'vance for u century. It moans that the dopular miud has accepted the stu- bility and permavency of the vepublic, and that 80 far as can now be foroscen France tas a firmly e:t wwhished government. Each preceding generation of I'renchmen, siuco tho first revolution certainly, have aiternaied under kings, dic- tators and republies. Until now 1o Frenchman for a century has attained his wajority under the goverament under which 1o was born. A score of vears wes as long a lifetime as any government had known, and it had come to be almost a proverb and a popular expectation that this was to be the indtinite program. There was more or less anxicty lest this precedeut of overturn should be followed as the first score of the republic’s years was completed, There were aisturbing influences &t work: there was Boulauger, and Chambord, and the church, all secmiogly menacing the republic. But now Boulanger and Chambord ave aead, and 8015 tho son of Loms Nupoleon, The Bour- ovons have lost their influence and, most im- portant of ali, the pope has recognized and approved the republic. There remains, therefore, no center around which the dis- contented and reactiounry clemonts can rally.
