CLEVELAND at Buffalo praised the Germans of the north for their defense of the union against ‘a rebellious assault.” The Columbus (S. C.) Enguirer-Sun says Mr. Cleveland has had no better friends in the whole country than the Democrats of the south, and adds. “The south has long been accustomed to the characterization by northern enemies of the civil war as ‘a rebellious assault’ on the govern- ment, but we had not expected it from Mr. Cleveland.” The argument is, we suppose, that rebellion is not rebellion, but civil war, and civil war is as legitimate now as it was thirty years ago. From that point of view the rebuke of Mr. Cleveland is proper, and the wonder is that he should have made such an unfortunate mistake. RECIPROCITY. It MAY EXCITE comment —it cannot excite surprise —that Brother John, whose aim is to keep his tight little island as the workshop and banking-house of the world, should place embarrassments in the way of any diversion of trade to Jonathan. It is a surprise, however, to find so persistent an assistant in the Democratic press of the United States—a press which gladly lifts the party rag above the national flag and cheers, in helping, a business antagonist. Our free- traders are distressed that any advantage should come to this country through Republican pol- icy. Better an empty palm than gifts from a hated hand. fetet The policy of reciprocity is American and Republican. It is barter in its simplest shay f I buy of you, you buy of me. tietest Great Britain in its need for revenue levies a duty of three and a half cents on every pound of coffee, eleven and a half cents on every pound of tea, and on liquer and tobacco an’ impost double the amount we collect; England levying, in fact, in cus- toms dues on the every-day de- mands of its people a sum of money. per person greater per iff-tax” of the United States, tet t English free trade does not cover all its imports. It is limited to food products which it is unable adequately to raise—wool it cannot sufficiently grow; silk, impossible to its climate; cotton, which it cannot produce; coal and iron, against which its own abundance makes it impossible to com- pete. This policy. prudent and shrewd, to feed cheaply and employ thor- oughly its millions, is as wise for England as it would be unwise for the United States. The conditions of the two countries are widely different. England is grown. We are growing. John Bull's equatorial breeches cannot be made to fit the strident slimness of Brother Jonathan's limbs. toot th + It is not surprising that English statesmen should be alarmed at an American policy that is likely to lessen English trade. This country the largest consumer of South and Central American products. We buy of Brazil alone nearly thirteen pounds of coffee where Eng!: one, We pay Brazil sixty dollars as against eight dollars Bra us. The reciprocity proposed and to which that country responds is to lower its tariff on our iron, steel, hardware, cotton, implements and flour as an offset to the admission to our market of its sugar and its hides duty free, The same poli to be extended to all South and Central Ameri- can states, whose best and largest customer we are, opening in mutual exchange their markets to us and ours to them. England, which has had the interterminal monopoly of this fat and fertile trade, dismayed at its possible loss, will do all it can to prevent or diminish American progress.
