chan 'es an the Senate ara favorable TO the pas
esge OF the Mckay Tariff Bill, aud i'm all prob !
ability by the casting vote OF MIR. lalas.-
But we can scaTccly credit this. Sur, Nv ia
tai blow Is not about To be- suuCk at Pcnnsyl-
yanid, and by one OF her own sons. Ii such
responsibility should devolve upon Mr.
Dallas, lac would, as IL seems tn Ms, hesitate
long tioc. especially a. he is well aware
that the vast majority OF the people OF Penn
sylvanla, oil all parties, are adverse 10 a change
IN the Tamil, and would hold To a fearful ac-
countability, the individual who would thus
beiray aud strike at their best interests. The
destruction OF the Tariff of AZ, and 6y the a
gency oi Pennsylyanian, would be All i'm
stance OF political proilIgacy aud betrayal
without precedent in the history OF the coun-
try That Pennsylvania is thorough Tariff
State, more 80 now than at any period in her
history, is conceded by every unpIeiudiced
mind. It's known, moreover, that but Tor
tire positive aud repeated declarations of many
OF the leading friends OF MIR. Polk, 10 the ell
feet that the Tariff would be safe in his hands,
the electoral vote OF this stete would never
have been given TO him.
IL IS bad enou III, therefore, 10 be deceived
aud betrayed m the case Of the President
But the iniquity Of fraud would indeed be
consummated, il Pennsylyanian. one OF our
own sons, should be induced by party or pc
lIucai consldera tions, TO aid in the annihila-
lion OF measures with which the thousands
and tens OF thousands OF our citizens, and Of
ell parties, are SO fully identified. Such
course would indeed be likely to raise a wbirl
wind OF popular Indignation But strange as
II may appear, there are handful of indIvid-
uals IA this country, portizans of the Admin
isiratiOn who still contend that the Tariff
was not advocated by many OF the friends of
Folk at the great struggle OF 1914. To all
such we recommend pcrsual of the follow
Ing, which constitute but few OF the dem
onstra,ions o! similar character that might
be quoted
The following motto streamed from hick- !
DRY pole at MonroeVille, Pa:
'POlkf Dallas The Tariff Of l9l2-No

The following resolution was passed by
Locoioco meeting in Sussex County, n. J.
ReSolrcd, That the question OF The lariT is /
not, and never has been party question; tina \
men OF both parties have been, aud now are,
found on each side OF the question; and we
confidently appeal TO the legislation of the
country Tor the last forty years, IN proof of this
declaration.

posed toh the disturbance Of the cristiHg tariff.
These iacts we state upon the best authority,
and caution the Democracy OF this great State,
against listening 10 the representations Of the
