SHALLOW PRETENSES.

The making of capital for future politi-
cal campaigns seems to be the sole object
of the Republican majority in the present
congress. No thought is given to the ma
terial interests, of the public. These are al
lowed to care for themselves, while the
members of both houses are engaged in
striking attitudes and uttering platitudss
in the sight and hearing of the public for
the purpose of creating the impression
that they are true and earnest patriots, ao-
complished statesmen, and thoroughly de-
voted to the cause of good government.
These professions are so transparency hol-
low and insincere that only the most guilt
BILE will be deceived by them.
The present discussions on the tariff are
simply device to create the impression
that the Republicans are DESTROYS of RENE
dying some of the gross iniquities and in
justices of our existing system. For
twenty years and more the people have
been grooming under the burdens imposed
by the Infamous protective system original
ed when the party first came into power. At
first the taxes were paid cheerfully under
the impression that they were neces-
sary in order to pay the expenses of the
civil war. But it was soon developed that
instead of paying the taxes to the govern
ment, the people were paying them direct
ly to the manufacturers of the country,
who, pleading poverty, asked protection
against foreign competition. For time
longer the consumers submitted to the i'm
position, but the monopolists continued to
grow richer and the working classes to
grow poorer. Then protest went up
from the people all over the land against
the iniquity. Still the congress did not
heed the mutterings of discomfort or the
demands for reform, and no effort was
made to remedy the evils complained of.
Wearied at last beyond endurance at the
obliquity of their representatives, and de-
spairing of reform from the Republican
