TO the POINT.


The Miami Republican clearly sums up
the situation, when il says: 1.-The war Is
over. peace reigns, the whole country IL
rich and prosperous and safe. The bloody
shirt has been effectively waved the last
time in National politics. There lie really
very little difference now between the Re-
publican and Democratic parties. except
upon this one vital question of the tariff.
They have ceased to resist the payment Of
the war debt, or to reverse in Congress the
victories Won In the field. Upon any other
matter il would be difficult TO base q strong
issue. But the question of the tariff sup
plies the strongest issue possible; it Is one
that the Republicans are measurably united
upon as protectionists, and it is one that
the Democrats are widely separated upon.
With the rarest exceptions, all Republicans
are protectionists but there are great
host Of Democrats who are not free traders
and who, In the event Of the election turn
ing upon the tariff question solely, would
earnestly work with the Republicans to
secure protection for our industries.
