Iowa follows Ohio in au nccurato recosnition of the political outlook. Its ropublionn st&to convention, like that in Governor Jlclvinloy'ri slato, voices the dominant sentiment of tlio republican voters, and, indeed, of tbo American people, in ivinfr the tariff :j88ue tbo precedenco ovoi all other. It was first in tlio spoechos; it wn8:lirst in the platform. On this point iho Iowa republicans, citizens of what used to bo regarded as a puroly agricnltural state, aro as ex plicit and emphatic as over were their political friends of Ponnsvl- vahia or Massachusetts. They de nounce the democratic notion of free trad!, and stigmatize its embodi ment in the German-Wilson bill as a disastrous humbug. They congratu late tbo country that in the pros perity of our industries under re publican supremacy, their paralysis under democratic rule, aud their re vival with the repudiation of the democracy, the vindication of pro tection is complete. Wo dHre say that the Iowa demo crats aro as hysterically anxious as their brethren in misfortune in the eastern states that the next cam paign should bo made on some other issue thau that on which they have just been so poworfully trounced by the republicans, but wo seo no reason why tlio latter should oblige them, Tbo republicans of the west, as woll as of the east, apparently propose to name the terms of tho next con flict themselves, and not leave it to their tliscoinlitted antagonists. But wliilo the tariff in Iowa, as everywhere else, is declared to bo of overshadowing importance, tho cur rency is by no means uoglected. Here tho Iowa conventions follows along the traditional lines of republicanism in favoring tho uso of both gold and silver, with tho fullest nso of silver consistent with the integrity of our financial system, but setting its face like a rock against any scheme for freo coinage which is not sanctioned by international agreement. In Iowa, as everywhere else where the issue is drawn, the republican is dis tincliyely the honest-dollar parly. lho Iowa democracy has many times in the past approved tho 10-to-1 luuacy. It will doubtless do so this year again, and tho Iowa peo- plo will have the clearcut issue pre sented to them of protection aud sound money on tho ono hand and freo trade and free silver on thn other. Tho resnll of such a contest in these days of enlightenment is by no meaus uncertain. Boston Journ al. Ob, democracy, democracv, lift hi h tho banner of freo trade and make friends with your English breth- eren. Strike down American indus ries ami rob American labor or em ployment Drive out artisans to the farms; bring iron and coal from fa 1V.il a auroau, anu lei me American mines remain closed. Shut up the shops at homo and wttch tho incominir procession of English ships, bearing the British Hag at its mast-head with holds tilled and decks piled with foreign goods. Europo shall tix the prico of what wo buy aud what we ell. What matters it to our douio crnuc menus mat me treasurv is empty? o can repiemsu it with the pro ceeds of government bonds sold, and in a few years when our credit is ox hansted. wo shall havo returned to the good old antebellum days when United States bonds sold in the European markets at a discount of 10 and 12 per cent. Oh hasten the day, says tho free trader of demo cratic reform, when these Klorious results shall bo brought about. But alas, alas, the American people have in thoir hearts tho Amorican idea of protection to American industries and American labor, and in 1890 they will doom democracy and freo trado to tho shades of oblivion, thero to have an eternal rest.
