SALT and pulp must be put down on
the free list. We suppose the Cincinnati
Commercial will resume its old fight for
this relief, even lit did declare just be-
fore election that the tariff was too sa-
cred to be touched by mortal fingers
Courier -JOarndL.
We did not say anything of the kind.
The tariff, as it stands, is not scientific
ally constructed for either protection or
revenue. 1t does protect and yield mon
ey, but irregularly, with wicked discrim-
nations. 1t grows not out of principle,
but is the product of rings in combina-
ton. We are willing to use the tariff
system to discriminate to certain eX-
tent against the people Of other count
ries, but we do not support a tariff sys-
tenn that operates against our own folks.
We apply to this matter the test of en-
lightened selfshness, and we by no
means conclude that the tariff as it stands
is sacred. We should not levy our taxa.
ton as to oppress our own industries. AS
to pulp, we are still in favor of putting
it on the free list, though the fall in the
price of paper, upon the adjournment of
Congress, when we had expected a rise,
removed the wire edge of our anxiety
on that subject Gin. Commercial, Rep
11h.
So this Republican tariff makes "wick
ed discrimination"-"is the product of
rings in combination"-"op operates against
our own folks shipping and ship build
ing, for example, and robbing the labor
and honest business of this country, to
pour millions into the pockets Of the
monopoly rings.
Pulp is imported to make printing pa
per, and the Commercial, Cleveland Lea
der, and other Republican papers all over
the country petitioned two years ago
to have it put on the free list, in order
to cheaper paper This Republican tar
iff "oppresses our own industries" ac-
cording to the Commercial.

Col a. K. MCCLURE of the Philadel-
phia Times, is on tour through the
South He says:
What the South most wants and most
needs, is not the appointment Of men
like Key and Mosby to the Cabinet or
foreign positions, but the appointment
of men of ability and integrity to the
Federal offices in the South. The South.
ern people want honest Judges, honest
U. S. Marshalls, honest Collectors of
Revenue, honest District Attorneys, hon.
est Jurors and honest Postmasters. They
do not want them to be Democrats, al.
though many of them would have to be
Democrats to meet the qualifications;
but they want to be free from the con
stant irritation, oppression and fraud
which distinguish the reign Of Republi'
can Federal officials in the South.
Garfield, to supply the wants, must 90
into the Democratic party to get men
who will meet the qualifications suggest
ed, and the treaty Of Mentor will not al
low such political magnanimity from
Gen. Garfield.

DEMOCRATIC journals are very generally
demanding that the party unload its
"bosses." They do get rather heavy, es-
pecially where it is necessary to carry
them through the marshes Of defeat all
the while.-ToIedO Times
Republican "bosses" are never unseat-
ed; they hold on-or at least the party
protects and defends them, no matter
what they do. The Belknaps, Shep.
herds, Cooks, Camerons, &C., are notable
examples in the past, who, though ex.
posed in criminality, were protected by
the party. Conkling, Sherman, Blaine,
&c., are each Boss" in his respective
state, and the party bows to their yoke.
Democrats are rebellious set, and re.
fuse to submit to tyrant rule. Tweed
was shown no mercy when exposed.
The Republican is the federal party,
having their lord leaders, with obedient,
doCile followers.

lie, This has become the practice under
Republican sway. The truth of history
then shows Democrats to be to-day, in
their advocacy of reform in the public
service, just where they were always,
as when in the National platform
of 1876 they declared:
Reform is necessary in the civil ser.

That was four years ago at st. Louis,
Six months ago, at Cincinnati, the Democ-
racy in National convention assembled,
reafirmed the above declaration of the
platform of 1876, and added to it as an
issue Condemnatory of the fact that Mr..
Hayes had prostitutsd the civil service

The Daily Pittsburgh Post is reliable
and valuable Democratic paper. We
have been reader of the Post for many
years, and can vouOh for its reliability
as an honest and fearless Democratic
journal. 1t has no hired Republican
correspondents to partly occupy its col
umns with abuse of Democrats and praise
of Republicans. This sort Of slush and
stuff finds no place in the columns Of the
Post 1t stands steadfast and true by
Democratic principles, measures and
men. Long may it wave.

WILL the Alliance Revietv answer? Is
man who perjures himself fit for Presi-
dent? Is a man who takes bribe as a
member of Congress suitable for Re-
publican President? Should not the man
who entertains, advocates and votes in
Congress- in full accord with the senti-
ments expressed in the Morey letter,
be "the rascal" to be hunted "down?" Is
the man whom Hayes and John Sher-
man turned out of the Collectors office
in New York, on account of corruption
and malpractice, the man to be Vice
President? Can the Republican party,
or members thereof, do anything wrong?
Was it not right for them to steal the
Presidency, and practice fraud, forgery
and perjury in so doing? Is 929 sacred
Republican number? Are not Cameron;
Belknap; "Boss" Shepherd; Schuyler
Colfax; James G. Blaine; Robson, the
plunderer of the Navy; U. S, Grant &
Co.. Of the Black Friday villainy; John
Sherman, Garfield, Noyes ct al, who
manipulated the Louisiana and Florida
frauds in 1867, are not all these saints
in the Republican church?
The Re'ieO is still roaring over the
Morey letter, but says not a word about
the loathsome disease hospital scheme
ofthe Hartshorns. The foregoing ques-
tions, if met, would go to show the party
is in love with falsehood, fraud and for
gerry. There is no weakness" in their
"rascality," They are bold, political vii
lains, hesitate at nothing they deem nec-
essary to party success or personal ag-

No one should be troubled about the
recommendation for a bigger silver dol.
lar. 1t will never come to anything
Gin. Commercial.
If not, it will not be the fault of Hayes,
Sherman, Garfield & Co. The Republi-
can leaders demonelized silver-opposed
its reconciliation by Democratic Con-
gress, Garfield being especially hostile.
Hayes vetoed the bill, but it was passed
over his veto, and over Garfeld's vote.
Mckinley was also one of those opposed
to reconciliation.
Hayes, Garfield & Co., the tools of the
gold ring, maintain that the silver dollar
is not as valuable as the gold dollar.
They do not recur to the fact, that when
demonetized some eight years ago, the
silver dollar was the more valuable. In.
deed, as a rule, silver has been the stan
dard metal, more regular in value. Mr.
Hayes, in his message; says the silver
dollar is only worth 883 cents. Now, in
fact it is worth just 1OO cents by law and
general consent, and is the standard for
measuring other coins. The United
States eagle, that Mr.. Sherman mentions
with such admiration, Sas made equal
to ten of these silver dollars; the half ca
gle was made equal to FIVE of them; the
double eagle was made equal to twenty
of them; the gold dollar Was made equal
in value to one, and, in short, all our gold
coins were made to conform to the stan.
dard of this silver dollar; and when Mr..
Hayes tells the country that the silver
dollar is worth only 884 cents. he puts
things wrong end foremost, and violates
both reason and langua e.

landlordism and the revival of an Irish
Parliament. The Government has been
notified that the agitation will not cease

though he may be with Mr.. Conrad.

Our party has no platform any more!

And though we did all things our leader planned,
Our party has no platform any more!
