Mexican nickels are dead stock now and

In case the Legislature should pass a law
now concerning fence cutting It is likely to be

constitute a second edition of the labyrinth ol

'The lstest lever suggested for prying the
distressed Democratic ass out of the tariff pit"
says the New York Tribune "is credited to
Mr. Morrison. But the chances are that It is
the work of at least a dozen able and des-
perate Democratic minds. Certainly no one
erely human statesman could have con
structed It all by himself. The lever Ukes
the form of a suggesston that a tariff bill be
Introduced by Mr. Morrison with the under

est December Mr. Morrison forgets one
thing. When Congress meets next Decem-
ber the Democratic members will be feeling
so bad about the election of a Republican
President that they really will be in no mood
to attend to business as weighty as the tariff.
But lor all that It Is a lovely lever."
The defeat of the Mexican treaty" says
the Cincinnati Times-Star "Is credited to the
sugar planters who have neatly $100000000
invested in their business and are vigorously
ipposed to admitting sugar duty free from
Mexico or anywhere else. This shows at
least that Louisiana knows what her interests
are. It shows furthermore a state of things
in the South that Mr. Watlerson and his lit-
tle band of free trade missionaries must view
with alarm. The prospect of converting the
Southern people to the glorious doctrine that
suicide is the only remedy for present Ills ap-
pears quite as remote as the probability that
Com.mander Cheynne will reach the Nerih
role In a balloon. Sugar planters are not
alone in their xeal for recognizing In tariff
legislation the protective principle. The Iron
men are with them; so are the cotton manu-
facturers the rice growers and the industrial
classes in general. A gloomy outlook Is this
for the faction that would swing the Southern
States into line for the warfare against protec-
tion. We might predict that Mr. Watterson
who has put Mr. McDonald on a free trade
plank and sjiouldered the plank and started
for the White House and who now groans
and sweats under the heavy load will be
crushed before he gets half way there."
