EACH House of Congress is acting for
itself on the tariff, each working on its
own bill and independently of the other,
and indeed without much respect to
one another. Beck. Bayard and Vance
thus far have conducted the debate in
the Senate from the Democratic stand
point. The real danger which sur
rounds the passage of any bill is the fact
that the Senate has no confidence in the
House bill, nor has the House an abound
ing confidence in the bill of the SEN
ate. Both have been thrown together
loOsely-jumbled, as it were. The House
is jealous of the Senate, too, because it
did not have the patience to wait for
bill to be sent, but under the pretext of
amending a House revenue bill framed
one of its own.

and qualifications for that office, and
adds that he is an able advocate of PRO

The time was when. protection" was
the grand, Tallying cry OF the star route

witness the late general rOut of the Bob

poses to have in the future considerable

who shall not. The annual winter cut

been productive of much good, In awak-

publican Congressman allowed to pass
laws for the robbery of labor and honest

sapped the foundations of ancient Rome
is already upon us. The present Con-

different State Legislatures are at work

rank and file of the people. We shall
never have the right body of Congress-
men and Senators until put in by the
people, aud that without the use of a

a law should be passed making 1t state

BEECHER on FREE TRADE.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made free
trade speech before the Brooklyn ReVe-
nue. Club recently. The Plymouth pas
tor said that prOtectiOui5ts We're always
wanting protection to enable them to
compete with somebody in the prOduc-
ton of something They could not be
satisfied with developing the great re
sources that were mt bund all around
them, but they wanted to compete with
something afar Off There were some
prOtectionists who even PROPOSED to
raise tropical fruits better and cheaper
here than the same fruits could be raised
in the tropics. In other words, they pro-
posed to compete with old Soils best
work by raising fruit under a glass
house, if they only had protection. Mr.
Bpecher said that if foreign ministers
kept coming over to this country to com
pete with the native article he should go
in for a high tariff on ministers. Seri-
Ously, Mr.. Beecher said, the question to
be considered by all intelligent and pat
riOtic citizens was whether under the
false pTetense of a tariff we should con-
tinur to pour millions and millions of
dollars iHtO the hands of gigantic mo-

HOLMES County Farmer puts a vast
deal Of wisdom in little paragraph
when it says: "Many of our exchanges
think Senator PendletOn too good man
to meet with the severe censuTe he is re-
ceiVing, which may be true; but 1t Is
high time for Mr.. PendletOn to quit
loading down the Democratic party with
his goodness. First, was the Greenback
nonsense; next, the cOurtly idea of seat
ing the members of the Cabinet on the
floor of the Senate, and now we have the
sham civil service reform. We like Mr..
PendletOn, but we do not like his way
of loading the Democratic wagon
Plain Dealer.
Is not our friend of the Holmes COun-
ty Farmer aware that it was the Enqui-
rer and other sachems, and not MIR. Pen
dleton, who "lOaded down" the Demo-
cratic party with "the greenback nom
sense?" Whatever nonsense in it, lies
not at the door of Senator PendletOn.
As to "the cOurtIy idea of seating the
members of the Cabinet on the floor of
the Senate" English history shows
that the court was more power before
the cabinet ministers had seats in Par
Lament. Would there be anything wrong
or "cOurtly' in allowing the Secretaries
an opportunity to appear before Con-
gress and explain their acts or Yindi-
cate themselves? Why should this make
Congress more dependent on the Presi-
dent and his cabinetP
As to "the sham of civil service re-
form," the bill itself is no "sham" as far
as it goes. Whether it will be honestly
carried out remains to be seen. We do
not believe it was "sham" in the Demo-
cratic party in National convention in
1876, declaring:
Reform is necessary in the civil SER
vice. Experience proves that efficient
economical conduct of the governmental
affairs is not possible, if its civil service
he subject to change at every election,
be prize fought for at the ballot-bOx,
be brief reward of party zeal, instead
OF posts of honor assigned for proved
competency, and held for fidelity in the
public employ; that the dispensing of
patronage should neither be a tax upon
the time of all our public men, nor the
instrument of their ambition. Here,
again, promises falsified in the perform
ance attest that the party in power can
work out no practical or salutaTy re-
FORM"
The above was substantially repeated
in the Democratic platform of 1880,
and we do not believe it,was intended
for SHAM" ''We," too, like Mr.. PEN
dleton, for the reason that he is an
honest and sound Democratic statesman,
consistent in his fidelity to truth, JUS
tice and the constitution, and to the
party. We fear some Of our friends are
TOO anxious to "lOad up the Democratic
wagon" with spOils-before we reach
the eOmmissary department.

Senator PendletOn has set his face
against the spOils system, and it is the
duty of every Democrat of Ohio to sus-
tain him. We are glad to see this is the
sensible view of Mr.. HOwells; but read
his excellent letter:
MAssILLoN, o., Jan. 22d 1888,
A. MCGREGoR EsQ.:-DEAR SIR: am
much pleased to see that the Stark COun-
ty DEMOCRAT takes the sensible view (in
my OpiniOn) on the PendletOn Civil Ser
vice bill, hence am sorry to see so much
opposition in other Ohio Democratic pa
pers; and perhaps the greatest part of
such opposition arises from The want of
thorough knowledge and study of the
entire bill. AS party we have been
preaching civil service reform for many
years. If it was right for US inthe past,
it is equally as important for us in the
future, otherwise we are as much a par
ty of spoils as the most corrupt party
that has been known in ancient or mod
ern times (the Republican party). Those
few smart Alecs who claim that
they voice the sentiment of
the Ohio Democracy when abus,
ing Senator PendletOn, and read
him out of the party, will find that when
Pendleton is read out, that what is left
will not be enough to make respecta-
BILE quorum for the Ohio Legislature.
And if the Republican party should
carry this state next fall, (and have they
not equal if not better chance TO
elect their ticket than Democrats
have?) how disgusted the opposition
will be with themselves, when crow at-
ter crow will have to be swallowed. If
the bill is not all that we would wish it
to be, it is certainly a start in the right
direction. History does not show that
reforms were instantly accomplished,
but are attained gradually, hence the
necessity of starting out i'll the right dl-
rectiOn, and keeping on until the deslr-
ed end Is obtained.
Yours truly,
A. HOwELLS.

Senator Pendleton's civil service re

Senate was noted in these columns, has
since passed the House of Representa-

it having been developed. The measure
may be, and unquestiOnably is, faulty
in respect to some of its details, but in
principle is eminently right and proper
