Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1883-03-29

WHEN Congressman elect Iiatd.
of Ohio, says that the tariff conlro-
versy has hardly commenced, in
stead of being already settled, he
doubtless means that the trouble has
not yet been eradieated from the
ranks Of the Democratic party.
While the Democracy generally pro-
fess free-trade sentiments in their
speeches, they do not keep step To
the music of "a tariff for revenue
only" in their votes. Thus, when
the question of taking the duty off
of su ar which is one of the prime
necessities of everyday use-was be-
fore the last House, only thirty-sey-
en- Democrats voted for it, while he
great majority of them voted against
1t. These protection Democrats who
voted to keep the tax ON the poor
mans sugar were led by Louisiana
Democrats, whose constituents are
especially interested in a hi4h tariff
on that artic e. VIII Mr.. Hurd read
them all ont of the party for voting
and is the party to &c split up into
local factions on this question, each
one looking out for its own particu-
lar interest? When the bulk of Dem
ocrats in the House oppose free trade
in sugar, will they not vote for the
protection of other interests when
ever occasion requires? The simple
truth is that there is no harmony
IL tie Democratic party on the tariff
question, and Mr. Hurd is right
when he says the trouble has just
begun. 1t will be still further ag
gravated before the election of the
next Speaker Of the House, and hat
will turn entirely on the disagree
ment between the semi Projections
lists, like Sam Randall, of Pennsy-
wanna, and the ultra free-traders, like
Congressman Carlisle, of Kentucky. !
