THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.
The action of thedemocraticstab
convention in Kansas indorsing
the presidential electors of the pen
pie's party yoes tt show that it is
anythiny to beat the republican
party.
Hut what are the prospects for
the parties in Kansas? The friends
of the Omaha ticket believe that
they are stronger in that state than
they are anywhere else in the conn
try. They virtually concede that
with the help promised them by
the democracy, it thev can not win
there they can not win anywhere
In the canvass for governor in lN'.Hi
the republican candidate had 11.",(HKI
votes, the alliance nearly 107,000,
and the democracy 71,000. The re
publicans, who elected Jlumphrey
had a plurality of al unit S.000 over
the alliance, but their vote fell
about ;!,( X H t short of the combined
alliance and democratic strength

1he democratic convention s action

Minor organizations never loom ii
very effectively in presidential can
vasses. Their greatest strength is
always shown in the intermediate
years. The democratic protest
against the combination may re
sult in the placing of a straight
democratic set of electors in the
field, or it may manifest itself in a
movement of the bolters over to the
republican camp. In either case it
may be assumed with entire safety
that Kantian will in 1W2 retain lice
old place in the republican column.
FREE TRADE IN ENGLAND.
Kmployers and capitalists can
shift their headquarter to the
L'nited States ami other countries,
and there at once o'ltain the benefits
of the protectionist system. They
can send back their manufactures
to Knyland freeof duty, and compete
on ecpial terms in the l'nited States
with nativecapitalists. Hut work
inymeii cannot trausplate them
selves (uite so eaisly. They must
remain where they are and see the

WACES IN AMERICAN AND ENG

While all the democratic and free
trade papers are howliny ayainst
Mr. I'arnceie and Mr. h'rick lor their
reduction of 11! per cent, which may
be unjust and should be resented,
it would be well for them to see
what these men are uettilur and
omparc it with what is paid in
tlicr countries.
The Iron Aye of June lit), ivj'J,
yives the following liyurcs as the
wayc list of "a well equipped mill

under the Amaly .minted scale,
which is the scale deterinininy the

there still is profit enough to iitford
