MUST lOE THE MARK.
Wash. Post. Dem.
Not even the ' most dexterous
dodging will suffice to evade the ta
riff issue in the Presidential cam
paign of 1888, If there are so-called
Democrats who are scheming for
such an evasion, they are wasting
their time and putting their brain
power to a bad use. They must toe
the mark on one side or the other,
for events already, past recall have
made a straddling policy impossible.
For the first time in our national
history a President's message, deliv
ered ou the eve of a Presidential
campaign, has taken np one; question
only, and so handled that question as
to inevitably make it his I party's
platform. It was a bold move the
move of a political hero amove im
possible of conception or consumma
tion by a small or mediocre man. !
. Honest -Democrats Democrats
who are not afraid of Democratic
principles, and who do not! want to
trim and skulk and sneak through
a' campaign- feel like
thanking
high i heaven for the
vvs ia a
for the honest manliness, j which
impelled the President, the lead
er of the Democracy, to plant
!iU party's standard where those who
will not bravely defend must openly
betray it. ' -j . ' j
Nothing can be gained by softness
or timidity of speech on this question,
i'he ocoasion demands candor. Eve
i y man has a right to enjoy his own
opinions. It is not dishonorable for
mj-0 believe in a tariff tor pro-!
taction. I A man might believe that
doctrine and still hope for salvation.
But it is not honest for a man so be
heving to say that his creed is Dem
ocratic and to endeavor to stir up dis
cord in the Democratic party.
The Post believes, and has ample
v irrant for the belief, that when the
Ligii-taififf Democrats have gone to
cbeir proper pUce, on the Republican
ide, and the low tariff Republicans
jo where they belong, the Demo
critic party will be found to have
gained in numbers by the exchange.
But. this1 is, af tej all, a minor consid
eration,! The first duty of a party is
i be honest. ' ;

' The consumer depends on the
manufacturer and on labor, and the
laborer on the manufacturer, and all
on eaoh other, j That is the divine
law of the Creator. Let me give
you an illustration to show you where
thfltaViff disturbs this law of the
rirpator Suppose a customer could
buy a suit of clothes at $10. Sup
pose we acceded to the request of
certain people made to us to place a
tax of 100 perj cent, on clothing.
That suit would cost the purchaser
$20. suppose be labors at l a day.
With 10 days' labor be could buy a
suit of clothes, but bv a stroke of
legislation we compel him to labor
20 days to buy that suit of clothes.
By law we have annihilated 10 days
of labor. How are we to restore it?
If you do restore it you only restore
the balance that the Creator made,
and you have done no better. If
vou do not restore it you have vio- I
fated the divine law and done a ter
rible injustice. Suppose the 10,000,4
000 men represented by the 60,000,-
000 population ef the country have
thus lost each that 10 days of labor;:
don't von thus annihilate that much
capacity on which your prosperity !
depends?
-The speaker here : reviewed the
history of the wool tariff from 1834,
showing that wool went down with
the tariff and went up without Jit,
and that the industry has been going
steadily down since 1867. Last year
265,000,000 pounds of wool were
made up into manufactured product
in this country, and., 115,000,000
pounds were imported, i ou im
ported 80,000,000 pounds of manu-
lacturea gooas, making tour pounus
of the raw material to one pound pf
the! manufactured product. The
equivalent of that 80,000,000 pounds
of manufactured goods was 320,000,-
000 pounds of raw material made up
in foreign countries to the exclusion
of the home manufacturers and the
detriment of the home laborers. And
you say this is protection! this is the
American policy ! this gives the
laborer work ! Suppose you let down
your barriers and let the 320,000,000
nnnndrt; nf raw material in. Just
think of it ! Lei it be made np into
goods; bow much extra labor would
you " em ploy r Reckoning 1.900 or
2,000 pounds per " hand as an
annual product that 320,000,000
pounds would give employment to
thousands of workmen besides thoBe
now employed. Idle factories wonld
be started up and idle hands would
find work to do. Wouldn't it help
the price of labor? Wouldn't there
be a big demand: for skilled labor?
That's the American system.
The BDeaker quoted from James
Thornley's researches in this country
on behalf of English cotton indus
tries as recorded in that investiga
tor's pamphlet, 'fAmerican Competi
tion m the Cotton Trade." It cost
the manufacturers 25.4 cents, be said,
to weave a piece in Stockport, .Log-
land, and 19.96 in Fall River; 25.28
cents in Hvde and in Lowell 17.96.
"Look at these figures," said the
speaker, "and then talk about the
'pauper laber of England' and the
low wages in this cotton business.
The cost ranged lower all over this
country, and Thornley concluded
that nothing but the high tariff on
raw; materials saves iiOgland from
being driven out of tbe world's trade.
There i ; money ! to be made in the
foreigu market,"! said Mr. Mills, "and
the way to make it is to remove these
obstructions on your trade.

wnicn ne oenevea wouia -accrue to tne
Democratic party from a Convention held
as early as May 23i. He said that when
the . Democratic party .: was in power
before the war, it had been its practice
to hold Conventions early in tbe year. In
the present case, he declared that the cam
paign could be ! made more vigorous and
aggressive by the selection of an early date
and a distinct and early enunciation to the
American people of the principles which
would be wrought into the Democratic
platform. i ;

tion was made at this juncture to fix June
5th, as the date for holding tha Conven
tion. but this, aa well as the early date sug
gested by Mr." 'I Scott, was objected to" by
Senator Gorman, who declared that in view
of tbe fact that there Were some differences
of opinion in the Democratic party upon
the tariff question, it would be impolitic to
bold the (Convention before the Democratic
House of Representatives had had an op
portunity to agree upon a tariff measure
which would bring together ali dissentient
opinions and secure the ua:tsd supp rt of
tbe parly. When such a bill had been agreed
upon Democrats could fasten upon a Repub

Uken upou tUe three propositions, which

hereota of iho Slay and J une d-tres The
latter iben combined their forces to secure

friends of members of tbe C-ininat.i'j were
admitted to the session.
The Committee then gave a hearing to
representatives of the various cities which
are contending for the honor of securing
tbe Convention, the first nuiience being
given lo-W. Wi. Fuller, of Chicago, who
presented reasons why (bat ctty should be
selected. I -'.
General Hunt presented tbe claims of
Cincinnati: s duty which hid been assigned
to Speaker tJribl3 He regretted the en
forced absence of that gealleman, who, he
said, bad been summoned to the bed a id a of
his sick soo in Kansas Ha was assured
that the sympathy of the Committee would
follow tbe Speaker i'j bis calamity
Representative 8. 8 Cox. of New York,
then went to the platform to present the
claims of tb-s) metropolitan city, and was
greeted with loud applause and cheers He
thanked the Ojinmutee for the kind recep-
n.in givenriNew xora la his own person.
That city, be said, presented through her
business merits political organ izttiona. and
all associations which belonged to that
Democratic stronghold, its earnest requast
for the rate ias of tbe Deaiocrtlic Con
vention at mat place, ue presented a
communication from the Business Mens
Committee of New York, setting forth the
accommodations which would be afforded
tbe Convention in Madison Square Garden,
and making generous offers of hospitality
to tbe Committee and : of convenience to
the delegates to the Convention.. As to
transportation. Said Mr. ox, New York
would stand oa a par with any other city.
and a? to. journalistic and telegraphic com
munication, it was far at the bead. -Ail
roads led to New York as industrial, com'
mercial and imperial emporiums for tbe
Democracy of New York was an Imperial
Democracy. He did not say that New
York surpassed her sisters in suburban
comfort and sea breezes; but she was the
peer of other cities, not excepting Constan
tinople itself. fLaughter.!
Mayor Francis, of St. Louis, contended
that the Convention should be held in the
same city which had been the scene of the
memorable Convention of 1876. which bad
broKen tbe long record of Republican suc
cesses . Applause. I He asked that the
Convention should be held in that city, on
the banks of the Mississippi, which within
three months had tendered to the National
leader of the Democratic party such an
ova Jon as had never been surpassed in any
country. The National gathering of Dem
ocrats was an honor to any city, but to St
Louis, with a Democratic administration, it
would be an honor indeed, and one for
which its citizens would feel deeply grate
ful. She would defray the expenses of
every member of tbe Committee, and her
telegraphic transportation and hotel facili
ties were unsurpassed.
Senator Vest' of" Missouri, in seconding
the claims of St. Louis, said that if there
was anything in the location which would
enable the Democratic party to continue
tbe present brave and ; honest administra
tion of tbe government, no sort of local or
personal feeling ought to interfere. If one
grain of dust could be put in the balance
which would Influence the issue in the
coming contest, that grain of dust should
ba put in the scale by the location of the
Convention in any part of the United
States. But he did not believe tbe holding
of the Convention in any of the cities named
would influence to any degree tbe election.
Chicago had obtained the last Democratic
Convention, but bia impression was that
Chicago had given the same brutal Repub
lican majority , Laughter -In the course
or nis speecn no declared that ne neiongea
to that school Of Democrats who believed
that all the offices of this country should be
filled bv competent and worthy Democrats.
fLoud and prolonged applause and cheers.
and a cry of "Hurrah for David B. Hill."
He believed that unless there was such an
incauality as to render the decision a crime,
he would give preference to an honest
Democrat over an honest Republican. If
there were two hotels in a city, he found it
easv to convince himself that the Demo
cratic hotel set a better table and furnished
a better bed than the Republican hotel.
Laughter. If there were two lines of
railroad, one officered by Republicans and
one by Democrats, he could easily satisfy
himself that tbe Democratic road was the
smoothest and freest from accidents.
Laughter. An army that, would not
reward its own soldiers would come
to grief. The party which did not
Btana by its own men would share tbe
same fate. I Applause 1 He urged that
the Convention should oe held in a Demo
cratic city, and deprecated tbe practice of
feeding Republican Cities on Democratic
sponge cakes. I Laughter None of the
surplus fund of the Republican party went
to a Democratic city, and the reaBoa for
the success of that party in the past and its
formidable aspect at present, was that it
stood by its political localities. He had
little symoathv with the argument that in
the selection of the Convention city, tbe
comfort of Democrats should be consulted
A Democrat who could not stand two days
of the hottest weather lever invented, in
order to secure some Democratic votes,
was unworthy of the name, Applause.
He had canvassed for the party when tbe
thermometer was 103 in the shade, and
had fattened! every day. The coming
Convention Would be a short one. The
candidate could easily be named. Its duty
would be to announce the platform on
which to go to the country with the great
leader who would carry the Democratic
party again to victory. The candidate
would come from New York. Why should
the Convention go to that city instead of
the Imperial West, in order to announce
his name to I the people of the United
States? He had no word to say against the
crowned States of the Pacific Slope, which
tn-dav were rushinir to uneaualled em
pire amid, gold and sunshine and
flowers; he had i not one word
to whisper I against that splendid
Cltv of the Lakes, whose nro stress ana
wealth were unparalleled la the annals of
the country; but in -the coming canvass the
vemocrsHC mrtv must stand bv its nnnm-
plea and .platform and rely on the innate
Strength of Damnnram elnne , "I thank :
God," he said in conclusion, "that we are I
in - battle array and ready for what is to !
Come. Our leader has and will have in his i
hands a banner, not drooping uncertainly
and moodily, but floating wide, fair and
defiant, with the principles of the party
emblazoned upon it." Applause . r.--

faVOr Of hold in ir tha dnnvsntinn in Ran

party would be benefitted thereby. He re
ferred to the hospitality of the people of
that city, as attested by their recent wel
come of the Grand Army of the Republic,
iu regarueu mat as an earnest of what
might be expected if the Convention was
given to Ban Francisco, ' r
Mr, Martin F .- Troev of fitili
subscribed to every word that had been ut
tered by Senator Vest. If one . grain of
and could be nut to the halannn in fm
of the Democratic party, and tbe gentlemen
cuiuu snow tnat by holding the Conven
tion in Chicago, Si. Louis, Cincinnati or
New Yerk, that grain of sand would f rue
tify and bring forth Democratic fruit in No-
vemoer. ne would not stand here asking
that the Contention should be given to San
Francisco The Democrats of Calif ernia
and the Pacific Coast had been 8partans in
the. cause, and while they held forth the
naod of fellowships to then fellow Demo-
crats ofthe East and South, and while tbey
offered to harbor the Convention at their
firesides, they would not wish to have the
pleasure of its society and company, did
they not feel that they could be of some
service in the great battle about to be
opened. ,The people of that section were
quick lo reseat an insult and prompt to re-
iuru aiaaoess, ana be believed that it tbe
Conventibn came to San Francisco the, re
sponse of California would bo a glorious an
overwhelming majority for the Democratic
rominee. The urcitof patriotism that would
ooiiga ea oa the pia uncles of the Sierra Ne
vadas by thu gentlemen who would sit in
the Convention and ratify the nominee.

by the geutlemen oa the returning March,
until the blaza was quenched in tbe waters
f the Atlantic Everv citizen of Cali-
furuia Democrat and Republican would
turn iu and help to redeem bis fellow citi-
z nd promise. They felt that tbey could
deliver the goods, or tbey would not ask
tun Convention to partake of their hospi
tality i hey promised to pay ail the ex
pensesof tbe Committee, using "all" ia its
most ampnnea sense. There would be car
riages ad lib. Laughter And two ad
ditional telegraph wires would bo put up
between San Francuco and Chicago, which
with those already in use would accommo
date all tbe business that was offered.
He did not claim that San FianciRco should
have the Convention because it could ac
commodate it, or because its people were
hospitable, or because it had the finest
climate in the world; but be did claim that
this Democratic body, sitting as tbe cus
todian of the interest of the Democratic
party, should take into account the four
teen vjtes which were trembliog in the
bilacce, iid that San Francisco should
have thoughtful coiiMueration at its hands.

; TH COOKING SCHOOL,.
The average girt at marriage is well in
structed in sewing. To take her place at
the head or a family without a fair know
ledge of this useful household art would be
to disgrace her mother and herself in the
minds of all their acquaintances The
average young bride goes to a home of her
own with a few practical ideas on a matter
which will have to come before her thrice
a day, and one in which tbe health and
general prosperity fof herself and others
must essentially depend. Then, if ever
she acquires even a passable skill in cook
ery, it win aoubties8ly be tbrougb much
wasting and worrying, and manifold non
successes. Meantime dvBDeDsia. or other
evil angel, is lurking in the shadow of her
table. To tbe young wife and housekeeper
so circumstanced half the terrors of the
kitchen are at once removed by the intro
duction of the ever ready, always reliab e,
Royal Baking Powder. With its proper
use there can never be failure in bread,
biscuit, or cake, while the perfect health
fulness of the food produced is likewise so
well nssured that all who partake may de
fiantly snap their fingers in tbe face of old
-Dyspepsia This point gained, tbe victory
over inexperience and bad lucx in other
things is speedily won. The Royal Baking
Powder, on account cf its superior powers
as a leavening agent, the great facility with
which it may be used, its proved economy,
and its thoroughly established wholesome-
n ess and purity aa established by the tests
of government chemists and others, has
become the general substitute for cream of
tartar and soda in the making of nice,
sweet, f light, flaky, digestible bread, bis
cult, etc. With its use the ycung mistress
or the house may take a pardonable pride
in the work of ber hands.

The barometer of Wall street"
indicates an area of " low pressure
extending over nearly the whole
country. In other words, business is
waiting.
Why does business wail? It is not
because Congress proposes to reduce
the taxes, .both parties have prom
ised to do this for tbe past eight
years, and business did not begin to
revive until after the inauguration of
an Administration pledged to "re
vise the tariff and stop tbe surplus."
Business waits because business
men fear that tbe taxes will not be
reduced and that the experience of
last summer will be repeated, when
a oatastrophe due to a currency lock
up was averted only by a desperate
and temporary expedient of the Trea

Manchester, Feb. 22. The Guardian
says: "The market is verv auiet and firm.
The summary shows that the business done
at iTuesdiy's market and during the last
wees, tnougni ui-aiatriDuted, has given to
Borne departments strong appearance, and
nas tended 10 support prices. In the other
departments there has been but little fresh
practical business of importance. Transac
tions, however, have been, as a rule, strictly
moderate. Inauiry for India has been
hardly up to the average, but a moderate
proportion of the inquiries, after much
haggling, led to actual transactions. For
China there has been but little demand.
Leading makes centinue well sold, either
through firmness or the time required for
aeuvery. Buyers sometimes and it aim
cult to place orders. There is some inquiry
for South America and the Levant, largely
ror ; special maKes. Transactions on
the; whole are light The home trade
is i quiet. Export yarn. depart"
ments are inactive.: The demand for
single and two folds for China and Japan
has not ceased, but recent free buying has
raised prices beyond: the reach of mer
chants. Home consumers have done little.
even where spinners are willing to accept
the offers declined on Frinay. Most of the
cloth departments have done hardly an
average ousmess. producers only rarely
have had a good day so far as tbe amount
of business done is concerned. The lower
grades of India shirting are very firm.
Light goods are also very firm, owing sen-
erally to rather free buying during tha last
rortmght. Heavy shirtings are rather dull.
China shirtings and sheetings are strong
and Well sold. The best prints continue in
poor demand; prices : are irregular. "T"
cloths and Mexicans" are steady, with a
moaerate demand.
