the opposition to recognise the great
doctrine Of Popular Sovereignty as the rule Of
action, Il might be interesting 10 Enquire, what
will be the next resort Of the opponents Of the
Democratic party. From present indications il
would seem, that the old hobby of a fariF for
'.Profectioa Of .fmericaa .Uaaut tactures,'' is 10
be ~suscitated. In view of the present de-
pressed condition Of the monetary and commer-
ca affairs in our own country and throughout
the world, it will BE- the purpose OF denlagogues
to make il appear thai 10 restore prosperity we
must resort 70 a high tariff. Notwithstanding
il has again and again been declared by these
mcn, that '0d issues have been settled "-..lhat
the question ola United Stairs Bank, and high
Protective Tariff were ''ohSoete,'' I venture
the prediction that ''Tarif,2 ''Tarif," viii be
the cry.
The causes which have produced the present
universal depression OF trade are very apparent

The great principIe lying at Inc foundation
of the Tariff Of 1916 is Democratic and just;
that II is not perfect in detail will BE- readily
admitted, and hence it was that in 1887, In ac-
c0rdance with the recommendation Of the Sec-
retary of the Treasury, the Congress Of the Uni-
ted States mad some aIteratio with the view
OF making The system more perfect. Il is
thought that time and experience will show
that the system aS It now stands viii operate

Democracy to give It rtFiaI before any fur

The House Of Representatives have at last
done Justice to the people Of Ohio in ouslng
Mr.. Campbell, and admitting Mr.. YallandiL-
lam to his seat. This simple act of Justice
should have been coasammatrd at the begin
ming OF the session, -''better I4le than never, -
however
After struggle Of some days against the fac
tjous opposition Of the Republicans and Know
Nolbings. the members from the new STATE Of
Minnesota, Mo>srs. Cavanaugh and Phelps,
were admitted to their seats.
1t Is remarkable fact, that the Opposition
10 the Democratic party in Congress, has ever
opposed IN one way or another, the admission
Of a new State into this Uuion. Ii seems to o. a
fixed principle with th~n ta oppose every thing
tending 10 advance the greatness and glory Of
GUT country.

The debate in the House the other day, on
The bill regulating elections in Washington city,
was rather interesting. MrssTs Davis. Of Ma
