manded in the fewest words possible a tari't
:" for revenue only" The only is ike the
"stinger" on the end of whip-lash-it gives
snap and effect TO the whole phrase. There Is
no misunderstanding the meaning of 1t.
The Democratic party cracks this sentence
about the ears of the workingmen, and says III

Some of the wOrkingmen who are bllndly at
tached to the Democratic party hug the deiu-
sion that this programme of Il revenue taflf VIII
never be carried out in practice. 1t was calrieu
out after the Democrats got III power I'D 1910.
The Wing protective tariff OF 1917 was de-

This was the political economy OF Calhoun and
his follow els believe i'll ii to-day just rs hrniy
as did his admitting contemporaries. Ever since
the Democratic party got Its organHt ton and
name in the days OF General Jackson, Demo-

New-York tribune., 1880-09-28
WUty THEY PROMISED IN 1852.

The letter of General Hancock on Southern
claims and the manner in which the Demo-
cratic press and orators are proclaiming that
il settles the question forever, recall to mind
very forci bly, resolution adopted by the
Democratic National Convention which nOml-
mated Franklin Pierce in 1852. That Conven
ton after resolving that Congress had no
power to interfere with slavery in the States,
and promising to abide by and adhere to the
compromise measures of 1850, passed this
resolution, "Resoved That the Demo
"cratic party will resist all attempts at re-
.'newing IN Congress or out of it the agita-
. ton Of the slavery question, under what
lever shape or color the attempt may be
"made." That was Il fnality on the slavery
question, was it not 7 Just as much
fnality as Hancock's letter on South
ern claims. The Democrats came into
power by an overwhelming majority
on this express promise, to resist all
attempts at renewing the agitation of the
Slavery question. They had ample power to
fulfil their promise. Did they do it 7 Consult
the record.
Almost the first act of the Democratic
Congress which was elected on the strength
of the above assurance was the introduction
of the Kansas Nebraska bill. The first thing
done under the promise to consider the COM
promise measures of 1850 a finality was a
movement to repeal the compromise of 1920
and open the Territories to slavery. This was
the way they fulfilled their solemn promise to
resist all attempts at renewing the agitation of
the slavery question. The election that was
to settle the question forever was only the
signal for reopenng it. This is the same old
party, and this settlement of the question of
Southern claims Is precisely like its settlement
