But with free trade as a business prin- ciple all bounds are broken and weakness is at the mercy of force. Free trade is not fair trade because there are differences as to capital and op- portunity which can never be made uniform. It is the duty of govern- ments to protect the weak as well as to encourage the strong. There is nothing fairer than reciprocity. There is nothing very much worse than free trade will be as long as men lack redemption through the existing im- possibility of being born more than once. DANGEROUS WIND GOVERNOR HILL'S FRIENDS are urging Isaac P. Gray of Indiana 4or the presidency, and I. P. is making surreptitious political visits to various parts of the country. The design is to secure Isaac as the tail of the Hill national ticket; and as Cleveland has the same idea in behalf of his national ticket the chances of the ex-governor for notoriety in 1892 are very fair indeed. But David and Grover had better be careful. The west thinks it has certain rights in connection with the national ticket, and it is just possible that I. P. G. will be puffed so much that he will secure the chief prize of the national convention, by way of a compromise that might possibly save New York and make a close cgptest in Indiana, It won't do to puff Isaac too much, He might be blown to such a huge and airy circumference that he wouldn't come down till after election. JONES — HILL — WEED. IF IT were not that important results often hinge on small ambitions the prospective struggle of the Dem- ocratic contestants for the New York gubernatorial nomination would be amusing. Yet the diplomatic shyness of Congress- man Flower and the outspoken solicitude of General Bingham- ton Jones threaten a schism in the ranks of orthodox Bourbons, and may jeopardize the political crusade, The lieutenant-govern- or does not propose to be sup- pressed, and, stroking each wing of his military mustache, claims in every sense to be “heir-ap- parent" to the executive chair. Receiving the largest vote on the party ticket, respected by the tillers of the soil, admired by his old comrades, simple, stubborn, easily subordinating principle to party advantage, he is as a model Democrat the peer in narrow- ness of Gorham, Scott, or Mills. Mr. Jones must be conscious, however, that there is a strength stronger than public opinion.

While solicitous to be pressed, he awaits the enjoyment of the persuading, before the osculatory and pleasurable “yes.” ttt Governor Hill will not be an indifferent spectator. As a skilled and experienced ring-master he will control the animal, to carry, or throw, as he may direct. Would it not be worthy of the swinger of the political whip if he should unload both front and hind end of the historic donkey of its burden and leave a clear seat for a more favored rider? Governor Hill is probably conscious that it would be unwise for him to enter the race for the third time. He knows that too great political greed becomes repulsive. The recent Albany legislation was also full of Democratic blunders that no sophistry can smother. The senatorial contest left behind it promises broken, sores to be healed, disappointments to be placated, With the presidential bee still buzzing in the gubernatorial bonnet, would it not be wise to propitiate the otherwise mutinous forces of northern New York by allowing Smith M. Weed to back the steed and be the candidate of the state convention? A temporary withdrawal by David B. from the glare of the footlights and the vacuity of an empty stage may be anticipated by that gentleman, still waiting in the wings, to incite an encore and a still greater triumph, TEs comicbooks.com
