We can dispense with any more such weather for a while. It is easy enough to observe, here In little Richmond, eyen, that the Presi­ dential campaign has already begun. Bvery other man one meets Is talking ibout "tariff' and "surplus" and Blaine and Cleveland. It Is astonish­ ing to hear men chatter about "Free Trade," who are new made converts 'o that sort of doctrine, and who sur­ prise their listeners by the extent of the ignorance they manifest concern­ ing even th^ plainest details of the matter; while oo the other haud, 'Pro ection" becomes In .the mouths of *ome the most complex, knotty and -enseless question Imaginable.
