It has boen stated that Mr. Cleveland, in his letter of acceptance, will not en- doree the tariff plank of the Chicago platform in so far as it declures that the | poliey of protection is unconstitutional, and that ho will take a position regard- ing the tariff intended to quiot the fear of those who see in the attitude of the | democracy toward protection, as clearly shown in the action of the Chic vention, n distinct menaco to the indus- trial intorests of the countr, 1t will be romembered that in the address of Mr. Cleveland, when formaliy notifiad of his nomination, there was a suggestion that he was not in full accord with the tariff plank of the national platform. He mani- festly felt vhat the convention had gone too far under the influence of the fervid sloquence of Watterson, and if that was his feeling two months ago it would not be surprising if later discussion of the | democratic position had made it stronger. Evidenco of a purpose to hedge in this issue is to be found in the utterances of the Clevelund organs which are und stood to share most fully the confidence of the ex-president, One of these cently oxpossed the opinion that not- withstanding the pointed decinration in the Chicngo platform, *‘democratic sue- cess in the navional election will not be followed by n precipitate sweoping away of the wiff.” Another Cleve- lund organ observes that “the era of the abolition of the custom house is still very distant, even supposing it to be de- sirable, which no responsible state: has yot veen boid enough to declare tax for revenus only is the only tax the constitution ever divectly authorized, but a tax on imports that will vield the revenue reauired by our government and will not affect home competition with the imports taxed has not vet been invented. There is not the sligntest reason to suppose that it will invented,” Tt is with reasoning of this kind, essentinlly sophistical though it is, that the closest friends of Mr. Clove- land now endeavoring to remove vopular apprehension rospect the tariff policy of the democratic party and ave preparing the public mind for a vir- tual renunciation the candidate of the free trade platform. The effort comes too of nearly 1wo to one in the national con- vention of the party the democracy was committed to the provosition that the policy of protection is unconstitutional. and this deliberate declaration must and s the opinion of the groat major- ity of the party. and as implying what its policy will be if given control of the legislative and executive branches of the government, regardlessof what Mr, Cleveland and his organs may No interpretation ean make tie taviff plank of the Chicago platform mean angthing but freo trade, and o complete abjura- tion of the protective principle, and to pretend that it was not intendert to have this meaning, or that the policy it in- volves will not be exceuted if the demo- cratic party attains power, is in effect to charge the party with trifling with the most vital inte of the American peopie. There is no escape for the demoeracy from the position it has taken on this issue, whicl is the logical outcome of its persistent and uncensing warfare upon the policy of the repub- lican party in protecting 2 ican in- dustries and American labor. For the t time in our historya political party has proclaimed thedoct ine that a prin- ciple which has prevailed since the goy- ernment was established, and has had the approval of every president, s un- constitutional, and it cannot evade re- sponsibility for that declaration because some of its le\ders now see that it com- mitted a grave blunder. 0 con- wholo ever ho ave by Iate. HILL HAS DECLARED HIMSELF. Senator David B. Hill has relieved the anxiety of the Cleveland supporters as to his course in the pending cam- paign by announcing that he is still a democrat and making an appeal for democratic success. [t evidently re- quired a great deal of persistent effort to ind uco Mr. Hill to appesr in the can- vass, und it would seem that he did not decide to do until after Mr. Cleve- land had entered into a compact with Tammary which wassatisfuctory to that organization. He had for wesks kept aloof from the headquarters of the party and s0 fur us appeared was manifesting no interest whatever iu the progress of thecampaign. While rumor was free with reports of what he would or would not do he maintained absolute silence. The Cleveland managers were anxious and troubled, and the situation became 80 serious that they summoned the can- 50 didate from his retreat and there was held the memorable meoting in New York city at which Mr. Cleveland made terms with Tammany. Within a few days therealtor camo the announce- ment that Senntor Hill would take the stump in support of the tivket The senator appeared in the rolo of harmonizer of the Empire stute democ - racy Monday evening, making a specch in which he named the presidential can- didates but once—at the conclusion of his nddvess, The telographic report of his speech is so meager that no judg ment can be formed of it, bat this is not spocially important. Mr. Hill is not a vecognized uuthority upon uny of the issues before the American people, and least of ull upon the tarift quastion. It appears that he regards that us really the only issue of the campaign, and that he is in favor of a *‘tamfl for revenue only, with incidental protection,” which 18 not quite consistent with the Chicago platform. However, tuere is no reason why Mr. Hill should be bound by the terms of that document. Neither he nor his friends had anything to do with framing it. Nor will his opinion exert any decisive influence. A'l the Clove- land manngers wanted wus the assur- ance that he would support the ticket, and haying received his there will be little interest in'what Mr. Hill may say on the issues. The question naturally suggests itself, is the support of Clevelund by Hill sin- core or morely perfunctory? and in any event can b curry wigh him the lurge anti-Clevelund element in the demo oratic party of New York? It would seem to be impossible thar Hiil can feelf a genuine concern for the election o Cleveland, but as a democratic senator and an acknowledged party leader in his state he is compelled to support the ticket in order to maintain his standing with the party. But thero are thou- sands of democrats in New York who are under no such constraint and . who although “Hill men” will not follow that leader in he support of Cloveland. —_—— AND LOSSES TRADE. The exports of this country during the month of August this year compare very favorubly with thoss of the same month st y notwithstanding that it was expected that thore would be a falling off on account of a decreased foreign demand for our products. As compared with a year ago thore has bean an incrense in the exportsof cattle, hogs and beef, hog prodacts and cotton, but n falling off in the exports of dairy products, breadstuffs snd mineral oi The total value of the exports of these products in August this year was 840,- 2,831 ngainst $48,063,204 lust your. While there has been a considerable falling off in our exports of wheat and rye, due to good crops abroad, there has been a marked increase in our exports of barley, corn and flour. The increase in corn exports amounts to 1,100,000 bushels, nnd the increase in flour exvorts reaches 481,024 barrels. An important giin is shown in the ex- ports of provisions, amounting in value to $2,681,498. The removal of tho re- strictions upon American pork in Buro- penn markets has had an important in- fluence upon our exports in this line. A large inerense in our exports of cattle is also noted, and thisis in great degree due to our system of inspection, Wi has created contidenco everywhere in the purity of our exported ments. Our exports of broadstuffs will vary from year ty year, nccording to the har- vests in Furope. but our animral pro- ducts will steadily command a larger market in Burope, and the time is not far distant when wo shall bo able to ab- solutely control the foreign market in this line. It is generally acknowledged in IBurope that theexcellence and cheap- ness of the beef produced in this country defy competition, AINES I~ FOREIGN Thne democratic campsign in Ne braska has been formally opened, that event having taken place at Lincoln Monday. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, candidate for governor, delivercd a specch which showed that he is still wrong on the tariff question, but holds sound views regarding the ecurrency. Mr. Morton goes the full length of the Chieago platform with respect to protec- tion, believing it to ke unconstitutional, and he thinks now as he has for years that the only true policy for the United States is the British policy of free trade. It is not questionable that in this view Me. Morton is 1n accord with the majority of his party, but he ought to huve observed that the leaders are now endenvoring to back down from the position assumed by the party at Chi- cago and that there is strong probabil- ity that Mr, Cleveland will try to hedge on this issue. Mr. Morton entertains old hioned dewocratic idens regard ing money, and in this respect is out of line with the majority of his party, In both matters he merits commendation for having the courage of his convie- tions, / UAL meetings of old settlers’ as- soziations are being held in various parts of Nebraska. THE BEE suggested recently that these associations make a point of preserving reminiscences of early times in this state with uhe view of enrviching the fund of information apon which the future historian will have to draw. The early times in this state now seem to belong to tho very recent past, and s there are thousands of people who remember all about them the need of written records is little ap- preciated, but the time will soon come when reminiscences of early days in Nebraska will possess great historic value. They should be recorded now, and the records of all of these old set- tlers’ associations should be made treas- uries of history. This state is yei “sung; everybody remembers everything now; but the time will come when all this will be changed. Attested records are worth more than doubtful tradition, [T WAS expected that the republican county convention would select a new committee, but the interests of the party were sacrificed in the scramble between aspirants for the congressional nomination. Now the question is, whether the present demoralized and shiftless committes is to hold on until October 15, when the county legislative ticket is to be nominated. If that course is pursued the new committeemen will searcely bo warm in their seats beforo the election comes. REPORTS of political gatherings hela by the independents throughout Ne- braska indicate that the supporters of Wenver are lacking in enthusiasm. Iv would be natural to expect thata new party would turn out in full force to at- tend all of 1ts public meetings, but the slim audiences aadressed by its speakers prove that the people’s party is dis- posed to stay at home and let its orators tell their tales of calamity to the wan- dering winds that sweep our fruitful prairies, STERLING MoORrTON has slapped Windy Juw Bryan in the face in a most significant manner.
