CARLIsLE AND RANDALL.

The Republican press and politicians
have INDUCED in a general Publication
over the alleged blunder the Dem
ocratic CONFESS made in defeat
ing RANDALL by the election
OF CARLISLE, thereby crush
ing RANDALL's protection ideas and in
dorsing CARLIsLE'S revenue reform
ideas and making them the basis OF the
Democratic platform in the next ia
tional campaign. How wofully these
now jubilant gentlemen will be when
they find out, as soon they will, that
the most amicable relations exist BE-
tween CARLISLE and RANDALL. That
RANDALL will go to the head OF the
Appropriations Committee, with other
gentlemen, full in accord with himself
when rigid economy will be enforced
and the flood gates of wasteful, shame
full proflgacy, such as characterized Re-
publican administration in the House
will be closed and the peoples money
reserved and used only for lawful and
legitimate purposes. Mark our predic-
ton, that the economy Of this congress
will put to shame the prohgscy and
waste of the last Congress. During Re-
publican Congresses the corridors were
crowded with lobbyists, bummers and
corruptionists. During this Congress
they will have no footing at the Capt.
tol, at least in the House end Of it. If
they have not they soon will pack up
their grip sacks and skip out, for the iron
hand OF SAM RANDALL, aided by a
friendly committee, has in charge the
purse strings. and economy is their
watch. word.
1t is amusing to hear the charge of
free trade laid at the door OF Mr.. CAR
LlsLE by set of respondent Republi-
cans who are whistling to keep their
courage up. Mr.. CARLISLE is not now
and never was free trader. He is in
favor of abolishing the present odious
Int rnal Revenue system and so is every
man, whether Democrat or Republican.
The system is obnoxious to our system
of government and can only be toler-
ated by the necessities OF the govern
eminent in time of war or some other
great emergency. Judge Pig lroa
KELLY is in favor of this repeal just as
Mr.. CARLISLE is. Does this made Mr..
CARLISLE q free trader?
Both these gentlemen are in favor of
making whisky and tobacco pay their
full share of taxes, but they hold that
the tax on whisky manufactured in
Illinois and the tax on toOacco raised
in Virginia should go to those two
States respectively as the tax on cattle
in Ohio and the tax on iron in. Pennsyl-
vania should go to those States.
We point out the opinions of Mr..
CARLISLE and Judge KELLY because
they are conspicuous men of national
repute and prominent in opposing
parties.
Both these gentlemen are opposed to
raising revenues by direct taxation and
so are the great body of our people.
Both these gentlemen recognize the
fact that the great bulk OF the money
to defray government expenses and pay
Oft our national debt must be raised by
duties imposed on imports RAISED by
tariff
Thus far these gentlemen are to-
gether. Judge KELLY is for high pro.
tective tariff without regard TO the ne
cessities OF the government, as we un,
derstaud his position, while Mr.. CAR.
Isle is in favor of such tariff and only
such tariff as will raise the amount of
money 1ctHUHy necessary to meet the
demands of the government honestly
and economically administered, and he
is in favor of so adjusting the tariff as to
give the needed protection to American
industries and remunerative employ
ment to American laborers.
But he is opposed to such tariff sys-
tenn as will build up and foster monOpo-
lies, which will be oppressive to the peo-
pie and render no relief to the laborer.
Such tariff as only tends to make mann
moth fortunes for the manufacturer Mr..
CARLISLE is opposed to, and so are the
people.
Our great country il rapidly growing,
and our current expenses must continue
to be very large, and the money neces-
sary for legitimate uses raised by tariff
will continue to give protection to
American labor and American enter.
prise. We are opposed now, as we al
ways have been, to cutting the wages
of American labor down to the Eu-
ropean standard. We are in favor of
hat policy which will keep them well
paid, well fed, and with meaus TO sup
