Thoro is no question of "free trade"
befo 'o the country. Nobody has pro
posed a roduction ot tlio tariff below
or even down to tho average duty of
28 per cent, that was deemed amplo for
protection twenty-five years ago. A
roduction of 30 per cent, would still
loavo an average duty of 82. No bill
has been favored by the Democrats in
Congress that would cut off more than
tho 20 per cent, promised but denied
by tho Republicans. Why isn't it
just as well to be fair and honest in
discussing this question ?

The President's Ootobar Trip.
Invitations continue to pour in upon
tho President. Almost the entire timo
of one of tbo clerks at tho White
IIoiuo is occupied in scheduling and
recording them. Ho has been invited
to visit almost every city in tho "West
and South, including San Francisco,
Now Orleans and Galveston. It would
bo almost impossible for him to accept
them all, oven if he devoted tho re
mainder of tho vear to that nurooso,
Among tho invitations received lately
was ono from Governor Gray, of In
diana, urging tho President to stop at
Indianapolis on his way through that
state, a telegram was also received
from Providoice, R. I,, asking tho
President to visit that city on his ru,
niored trip to Marhn, Mass., wheie
Mrs. Cloveland is visiting. Col. La

will tako the route which will enable
him to visit briefly tho principal repre

Domocrats and the Heform.
Tho Domocralio party cannot nfford,
to put it on tho low ground of polioy
alone, to treat Civil-Sorvlco Reform as
a thing to bo trampled into tho dust.
No party oan long succeed which
breaks its pledges and disregards its
professed principles as Boon as it gains
power.
The Demooratio party of tho nation
is on record as deolaring that
"Reform is neoessary in tho Civil Ser
vice nxpenenoo proves that efficient,
economical conduct of tbo govern
mental business is not possible if its
civil service bo stibjoot to chango at ev

dispensing of patronage Bhould neither
bo a tax upon tho timo of our publio
men nor tho iuBtrumont of their am
bition."
This Is as true now as it wa in 1870,
It is as true when tho Democrats havo
control of tbo Government as it was
when tho Republicans woro in power.
It states a fact proved by oxporituce,
not a theory woven from tho threads
of fancy. Tho businoss of tho Gov
ernment cannot bo conducted economi
cally and efficiently by appointing a
now set of agents after every election,
any tnoro thau private business could
bo so conduoted under a similar policy

point men by favor rather than for fit
ness is unjust to thoso who havo no

Tho ficrco struggle for tho offices has
notoriously hold in aboyanoo publio
questions and living issnos of tho high

manipulate patronage as an instrument
to promote ambition for a second term
has mado as poits-distributer of a
President elected as a reformer.

The Origin of It.
THE GttAND ARM OUTBURST THE RESULT
op a coNsriBAor of claim aoents.
It is apparent from tho lively dis
cussion that is going on hero in Wash
ington that tho truo origin of this
whole business is not overlooked by the
people. It is very well known hero
that the first objection mado to the vi
sit of President Cleveland to tho Grand
Army encampment oamo from the Na
tional Tribune, of which Mr. G. E.
Lemon is tho proprietor and o nduo
toi. It is an open secret that an effort
was mado from tho office of that paper
before it began its denunciation of
President Cleveland, to induco tho
correspondents of certain prominent
Rcpublioan papers to adopt the line of
attack subsequently followed by the
Tribune itself. Failing in this, the
Tribune took np tho fight for itself,
and was not very long in bringing in
General Tuttle, of Iowa, as an active
assistant. It is generally bolieved
here that the animated interest of tho
National Tribune in tho matter is
due to the fact that a new form of do
pendent pension bill is to be submitted
to the Grand Army encampment for
indorsement This bill was in course
of arrangement at the time when tho
first objections were mado to the invi.
tation given President Cloveland, and
the text has since been given to tho
publio in a telegram from Madison,
Wisconsin, tho homo of General "Pal
sy'' Fairchild Commander in Chief of
the G. A. R.
Mr. Lemon, who owns tho National
Tribune, has almost a monopoly of
business as pension attorney and con
sequently has a great deal at stake in
the passage of a big pension bill. He
and the others who aro arranging
to push tho matter before Congress
next Winter feared the effect of Presi
dent Cleveland's visit to tbo National
encampment. They could readily see
that, if he were present in the city dur
ing the encampment, as tbo invited
guest of tho Grand Army Committee,
ho would naturally be asked to address
the encampment The danger to be en
countered in this lay in the fact that
his plain, straight forward, honest de
fence of tho pension veto of last session
would havo its effect upon tho members
of the encampment. It was a great
risk to run, because there was a large
chance that one short, sensible speech
by President Cloveland would go
right home to tho heart of tho soldiers
and block the whole scheme for an in
dorsement of their pension bill. Hence
it was that they opened their batteries
on tho President in such lively style,
caring for nothing so that they succeed
ed in making it impossible for him to
go to St Louis as they havo certainly
done.
It is pleasing to seo indisations, how
ever, that this very success of the pen
sion claim agents promises to work
their eventual ruin. Tbo pension ques
tion in every detail, and in all its pirns-
re, is now ueiore me country, ana must
remain before it throughout the coming
sossion of Congress in a way it could
not havo boen presented oven if tho
President had gone to St Louis and
made the speech it was so muoh feared
he might make. It is not doubted
hero that tbo old soldiers, understand
ing tbo schemo now, will refuse to
tako any part in so despotio an effort
to humiliato tho phief excoutive of the
Nation. Thoy will look more carefully
into tho reasons ho has heretofore triv
en for tho veto of tho bill which failed
at tl.o last session, and learn that he
had good, wiso and patriotic reasons
for that interposition of tho executive
power. Cor. At. JjOxus Jicpublican,
The Mormon President)?.
Tho question of succcssorship to the
presidency of tho Mormon church has
been settled temporarily by the appear
ance of an address sigucd by Wilford
Woodruff, presidont gf tlio apostles.
Ho says : "As upon two former occa
sions hi our history, tho duty and ro
bDonsibilitv of presiding over and di-
recting tho affairs of tlio church of
Jesus Christ iu all tho world devolves
upon tho twelvo apostles, with tho
blessings of tho Lord and tho faith and
prayers of his people, wo hopo to do
our duty until we, too, shall bo laid to
rest."
It has been thought by somo that
cither Georgo Q. Cannon or Joseph
Smith, nephow of tho original Joseph,
would assume tbo leadership. Wood
ruff is in tho regular lino of succession
and his nddross assuming coutiol would
indicate there is to bo no departure
from tlio orders. Woodruff is 60 years
old and a man of mcdlocro ability. He
has been iu hiding two years and is

WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Itcgular Correspondent.
Washington. D. 0., August 8, 1837.
Sncrctary Fairchild has issued a eir
oular inviting proposals for tho salo of
n largo amount of 4J per oont United
States bonds and 4 per cent bonds and
also Paoltio railroad bonds, witli n ro
bato of 2 per cent, per annum on tho
amount propaid. Explanatory of this
action Secretary Fairchild Bays ho
thought it tho best thing ho could do
under tho ciroumstanccs his purchaso
of bonds being for tbo purpose ol pro.
viding for tho sinking funds nnd tho
anticipation of intorcst Is for tho pur
pose of removing tho surplus. Tho in
terest rcferrod to in tho order amounts
to $22,310,781 and tho sinking fund to
about 820,000,000, added to tho 820,
000,000 of 3 por cent, bonds previously
applied to that fund, Tho sccrotary
Bays that tho surplus oan only bo ills
posed of through tho co-operation of
the bondholders, and that it thoy do
not accept the terms of his offer to
them it would appear that they aro not
greatly in need ot monoy.
Tho Controller of tho Curronoy has
givon uotico to tho national banks re
quiring them to submit to him a full
statement of their affairs at tho oloso
of business August 1st in default of
which thoy will bo fined and tho suras
paid into tho United States Treasury
the purposo being to sco whether thoso
institutions havo their finances in prop
er shapo to meet any requirements
neoessary in handling this year's crops.
During tho month of July 10,810
names woro added to the pension roils
by tho Domocralio Administration,
which, nccording to Republican parti,
sans, has nothing but hatred and hos
tility to tho Union Veterans.
Tho pension which was put through
by Forger Harvey, as Attorney for a
widow, turns, out, upon closer investi
gation to bo a fraud and thus nearly
$2,000 was, at the last moment saved
to the government. Tho Pension Of
fice offers a groat field for fraudulent
manipulations, but, tho evil-doers al
most invariably como to griof ; two
men havo just been arrested in West
Virginia on a charge of forgery in con
nection with a pension case.
PuHio Printer Benedict's reply to
tho Now York Tribune's charge that
he discriminated against Union soldiers
in making appointments or dismissals
is clear and convincing to tho last do-
rco, showing, as it does, that Mr.
Benedict is a true and careful guardian
of tho interests of tho soldiers, for, ac
cording to an actual census of tho of
fice, taken by him, about one half of
its employees aro either Union Vet
erans or their widows and children
all of whom are protected in their po
sitions by a special Statute, but, which
tho prcsont Printor's Republican pre
decessors ignored whon it applied to
Democratic Union soldiers examples
that might well warrant retaliations in
kind on his part, still, ho has not dono
so, but, impartially given, to all whom
it is due, tho benefils.of this class legis
lation. Mr. Benedict has increased
tho working capacity of tho establish
ment although compelled to reduco
tho force, and has won the lasting
gratitudo of all the employees by pay
ing semi-montuiy, instead oi mommy,
as was the rule under the Republican
regime.
secretary Lamar s request that the
heads of bureaus of tho Interior De
partment present their annual reports
much earlier than heretofore strongly
tends to confirm the general impress
ion that he will Boon bo transfered to
the Supreme Bench. Mr. Lamar would
adorn that lofty tribunal as few men
in Amerioa could, for, in addition to
being tho first among Southern States
men aud jurists, his mind is cost in a
judicial mould. President Cleveland
says of him, that of all tho men he has
over met, ho believes Secretary Lamar
to possess tho clearest and most pro
found intellect
About twenty patent Attorneys of
Washington who wero the beneficiar
ies of Bacdn's generosity with the pub

they immediately refund tho sums bor

ness to pay his defalcation when it is
certified to properly.
ino chief topio ot local interest is
the trial of naval surgeon Crawford for
leading astray a schoolgirl of thirteen
and Madam Urundy is expecting sen
sational developments. The Judge
has decided an important and interest

tried under tho Edmonds Utah law
the first of tho kind on record here. I
think a conviction rather doubtful, for
the reason that One of tho Governments
principal witnesses havo been spirited
away, the little correspondent is iu
New York, but process has been issued
for her.
Mrs. Cleveland is gleefully disport

A Gratifying Contrast.
Somo years ago, whon Robeson was
Secretary of tho Navy with Chandlor
as outsido manager, aud later whon
Chandler was Secretary with Robeson
as outsido mauager, tho award of con
tracts for the construction or repair of
vessels for tho Navy was an occasion
for tho gathering of all tho naval job
bers from tho eastern to tho western
sea. No legitimato ship-builder
thought of obtaining a contract on tbo
merits of his work or tho amount of
his bid, and none attempted to reach
tho contracting power of tho govern
ment except through outsido lobby
sharks who had tho ear and often
moulded tho action of tho highest
authority of the Naval Department
Tho result ot this combination of
jobbers from every part of tho country
was tho expenditure of eoores of mill
ions of money producing vessels which
were valuable only to naval jobbors for
repair contracts j and our Navy became
at onco the shame of the nation and the
central figure of tho official rottenness
and profligacy whioh finally drove tho
long dominant party from power.
Only rabid partisans who were ready
for tho most desperate party expedi
ents and ready to py for polluting
elections out of stolen government
money, wero thought of as eligible as
bidders for contracts, and often con
tracts amounting to millions wero giv
on to political or jobbing favorites
without even inviting competition.
The result was profligato naval expen
ditures with only useless ships and
theft and demoralization ruling ono of
ino most important departments ot the
government
Several months ago proposals for tho
construction of war vessels wero open
ed by Secretary Whitney, and tho not
ablo feature of tho occasion was the
en!ro absenco of tho old naval jobbers
and lobby-thioves, and tho presence of
responsible bidders of every political
faith. Thoro woro Democrats and Re
publicans sido by uido and eaoh knew
that his politics or party services could
neither help nor hinder him In obtain
ing a contract Tho Cramps of this
oity wero there as bidders. They are
as ardent Republicans as is Mr. Blaine
himself, but wcro practically excluded
from favor in former naval contracts
because of thoir legitimate business
methods, and with them wcro legiti
mato business men from overy section
and of every political persuasion. They
knew without being specially told by
auy, that tho bidder who attempted
orookeduPBS woald be certain to fall,
aud tho singular spectaolo was present
ed of a thoroughly honest and business
like disposal of contracts for millions
of dollars awarded by tho Navy De
partment to tho lowest and best bid
ders regardless of politics.
On Monday last another most grati
fying contrast with former awards ot
naval contracts was oxhibited in Wash
ington. Bids wore opened by Secre
tary Whitnoy on that day for three
large cruisors and two gunboats, and
thoro was no crowd of lobby-thioves
Ioatling each othor and proposing com
lines with bidders. There were Re
publicans and Democrats there to bid,
but oach know that his politics or his
party services or party contributions
woro not elements which entered into
the award of contracts. Tho Cramps
of this oity woro there and their bids
assuro a largo proportion of tho con
tracts, just as thoy did somo months
npo at a former award j and nobody
thought of howling around the depart
ment or shrieking in tho lobbies of
hotels that million-dollar contracts
wero given to men who voto tho Re
publican ticket nnd contribute to its
cause. It is this resolute ndministra
tion of public- offico ai a publio trust
that is defying all tho growls aud jars
of spoilsmen aud plunderers, and that
is daily making honost government
