NEW YORK FOR G ROVER.
Hill Will Not Stand In the Chani
plou's Way.
Chicago, Oct. 23. The ITerdLf
Washington correspondent sends it
the following : New York solid for
Cleveland, with Hill not a candi
date, is . the prediction of a Waxh
ingtva Democrat who lus jurt re
turned from New York City, where
he was given rare opportunities to
become familiar with the inside
political news of the day.
CIercIand and Hill are coming
totfetiier, sayg tins gentleman.
"lhey arc reaching an understand
ing, and if nothing interferes with
.11' , .
me piano now mating, an agree
ment will be made of vast interest
and importance to the Democratic
party of the entire country. It
ooks now as if Governor Hill will
ror the time being abandon his am
bition to be prc5ideut and throw his
strength for Mr. Clevland. Of
course we all know that, with the
New York Democracy uuited on
Cleveland, lie would be nominated
v ithout opposition and be elected.
In January next Governor Hill will
take his teat in the Senate. He ha
been elected to a full term of six
years, and lie will have ample op
portunity to keep nimseltiiv fore the
ieoplc lie is young and can afford
to wait. In Roewell I'. Flower he
will have a friendly Governor at Al
bany, and, as the "Democratic Sen
ator from New York, the patron
age of the Empire State will be
largely placed in his hands. Thus
he will have no difficult' in main
taining himself as the leader of the
Democratic party otSew lorkand
as one of the most powerful Demo
crats in the country. Mr. Cleve
land can serve but one term more
in the Presidential chair, and when
lie retires Mr. Hill's opportunity
will come. If, meanwhile, he shall
have succeeded in making a truly
national fame lor himself operating
in the nationa1 held at Washington
nothing will be more likely than
his nomination tosncoeed Cleveland.
As I heard the matter talked by
some of the big Democrats of New
lorkwho are in the confidence of
the Governor and the Ex-President,
there is no bargain between them,
and there is not to be any. They
are simply to be friends, and by
l)eing friends to help each other and
the party. If elected President
again Jd.r. Cleveland would not con
tract to use the power of his admin
istration to make Mr. Hill his suc
cessor, but he would agree, and
very properly, to regard Senator
ti ill as a fnendlv senator and treat
him accordingly, just as ho would
treat Senator Carlisle, or any other
Democratic Senator, in matters
concerning hia State.
HILL COXTKXT TO WAIT.
"Tho nomination of Mr. Flower
was a great step in the direction of
this treaty of peace between Cleve
land and Hill, and negotiations are
now making rapid and satisfactory
progress. Governor Hill has, to
my knowledge, passed one night in
Mr. Cleveland s house, and the men
are now on a perfectly friendly foot
ing. Governor Hill has realized
that his sway over the iarty in New
York is not so al -solute as to make
it possible for him to carry to the
National Conven'ioii a solid dele
gation pledged to his support for
President, It Is, indeed, a question
as to whether tlm Governor or the
Ex-President would get the del
egation under the rule. Mr. Hill
has also realized that a divided New
York vote might mean the defeat
of both Mr. Cleveland and himself,
with a new man probably from the
West, and a new coterie coming in
to wrest the power from New 1 ork
hands, rot only for the present, but
or many years to come. . ;
1 he Governor has perceived that
while he may now possess power
enough te dcieac Cleveland, lie
iasn't enough to nominate himself.
and that in the nature of things, if
e acts as a destructionist now, Mr.
Cleveland's friends will be destruc-
tionists in 1896.
t "I wish I could give you tho
names of the New York Democrats
with whom I have talked, and who
are now sereDelv confident that the
Democracy of their State will for
the first time in many years cro into
a presidential campaign harmonious
and enthusiastic. liut 1 will vio-

FARMERS AND MONOPOLISTS.
Some Stern Facts that
Feed tho Latter.
SAVOYARD IX COCRIER-JOURNAI
LESSOR.
1 -
When the Government of the
United States was formed, and the
tariff of 8 per cent, was levied on
imports for the protection of manu
facturers, Mr. Hamilton excused it
on tho ground that it waa necessary
to tax the people for the encourage
ment of infant industries. He did
not say it was with a view to giving
the farmer a home market, or to
giving tho laborer higher wages, or
to giving the consumer- ciieaper
g'oodt. After encouraging infanta
for forty years the people iegan. to
murmur that those infants were
grown up, and that they did pot re
quire further encouragement. 1 hen
it was about 1S40 that it was dis
covered for the first time tliat pro
tection, la addition to giving tho
manufacturers encouragement, gave
the farmer a home market, and that
was the cry for half a dozen years,
or until 1840, when ICobcrtJ. Walk
er changed the American tariff from
a protective to a revenue affair.
And thus things jogged along
until the war and the Morrill war
tariff. After the war there had to
be an excuse for war taxation, and
as the "encouragement' and "home
market' dodges had wont out, the
tariff was excused because it advanc
ed wages and kept them at the high
water marie, and that cry fooled tho
eopIe lor tweuty years, though
there was not a day of that period
that men engaged in unprotected
indnstries, such as brick -layers, stone
masons, carpenters, railroad oitera-
tives, etc' etc., did not receive bet
ter wages than the employes of pro
tected industries, and when, since
the passage of the McKinley bill.
over 300 protected estoblislMaents
reduced the wages of their labor.
and not a single one increased wages,
thcpeople saw the whole thing of
high wages was a sham, and so Mc-
T ' 1 l '
rviiuey ana company now excuse
the tariff on the ground that it makes
goods cheaper to the consumer, and,
what is worse, they will hnd thous
ands and thousands of fools that will
believe them." i
Every man that has got sense
enough to keep out of the lire knows
that there is not a manufacturer in
Pennsylvania who would favor a
tariff that would make his goods
heaper. V hen the Vays and
Means Committee of the Forty -sixth
I believe Congress reported the
bill to put quinine on the free list,
Philadelphia manufacturers swarm
ed about the Capitol urging that our
domestic chills and fever be protect
ed they said that France and Gcr-
mauy would rain in their pauper
quinine on us and that American
qninine would be driven out. Con
gress paid no heed to them ; quinine
was put on the free list, and since
that time Philadelphia has continu
ed to make more quinine than ever
and the poor man has some show
against malaria, for it is about 75
per cent, cheaper, instead ot de
stroying the American manufactures
of quinine there are to-day six estab-
lehincnta making that dmg in this
country, where there were only two
making it when it was put: on the
free list. Removing the tariff off
sugar gave us cheap sugar, and one
of these days a Democratic Congress
is going to take the tariff off wool
and greatly reduce the tariff on
woolens, and then tho people will
lave cheaper clothing and cheaper
blankets.
A nrotection rarer rccitea with
glee the statistical fact that that for
the two months of July and August,
1S90, our imports of foreign mer
chandise amounted to $138,75,744,
while for the corresponding two
months of 1891,' after Mckinley ism
got on deck, foreign in.porta fell to
$132,936,789. Foreign importations
are brought to our-country to ex
change for something that is the
product of American labor. We
ave cotton, grain, pork, petroleum,
etc.; etc., to sell, and if we only got
132,00U,C00 in 1891 in exchange
for what we got $138,000,000 in
ioyv, we lost just six minions.
Let us illustrate it again, for it
can not be made too plain. If a
Louisville merchant ships to Ger
many tobacco worth $10,000 and
sells for cash, and with that cash
buvs nrotected articles that he could
sell in Louisville for $16,000, he is
met at the Custom-house in rsew
York by the Collector of Customs,
who says to him : "You must pay a
tariff duty of $6,000 on that cargo
of laces, or glass, or queensware, or
wliatever it be ; we are running our
Show. Hot? the 'Former
show for the protection of the glass,
lace, queensware and other Amen
can manufacturers." But for that
Custom-houso there would "bo
larger market for tobacco abroad,
and that would encourage Ainencan
tobacco grower, nnd there would
be a larger American market for
German products. Ths labor of
both America and Germany would
be better employed : they would
cadi produce more, and every fel
low- omld sell what he has to sell
ia the highest market, and buy what
he has to buy m the chcapes
market,; .' .- ' '

Britain is more complete mistress of

Norfolk and Western Railroad.
Balttvobk, Oct. 2S. The Manu
facturers' Record of this week pub
lishes an interview with President
Kimball, ot the Norfolk and Wes
tern railroad, who has just returned
from Europe, where he was in the
interest ot tho road. President
Kimball says: Work on all exten
sions of the.road will bo pushed for-
i - . . .1
waru wiiu greater vigor man ever.
By December sixty miles of the
track of the Ohio extensions will lis
completed to the bridge now being
ounr across me umo river, and reg
ular trains will be running to Co
lumbus. . I expect to have the Ohio
extension completed by- July next,
whichiwju xXen np the whole Weft
to the celebrated ! 1 oca hunt as coke
and coal. The btisiness of the road
is growing 8w rapidly, and so many
industries are springing up along
the line, that the manages find it
almost impossible to keep paoo with
me pnenornenai increase in business.
Cars are in great demand . and it ia
difficult to provide them fast enough
for the f raific.1 During the present
season the Norfolk and Western has
hauled from the -Clinch Valley ex
tension, to the ride water 1,000,000
bushels of whea for. export, an en
tirely new business, as the road did
not handle a bushel of wheat for ex
port last year. Tiie expof t trade of
the road generally is growing very
fast and causing a rapid increase in
the foreign commerce of Norfolk,
I am well satisfied, not only with
the present outlook of the company's
afluirs, but with jts future prospects.
ith an increased business pounng
in from all quarters and with plenty
of money with which to make the
necessary extensions, the ISorfoIk
and Western is entering upon an era
of great prnSperJ ty. .
