THE TARIFF POSITION
want you to contemplate tho position of
| the Democratic party on tho tariff. They are
| In the condition of tho steer just having
jumped over tho .fence-thoy can neither
.
| They are utterly worthless either for aggrcs-
| sivo or defensive purposcs they can not claim
| that they were for protection, because the
| Democratic party WIS the author of this re-
mnrkabc horizontal scheme; they can not
claim that they were for the reform of the
| revenue, because Democratic votes beat the
| tariff. They are without fixed political prin-
ciplcs on any question except the idea that,
| n the Sun says: 1.-THE Republicans must CO.
| They say they require II change. So do we. and
| we are going to have one. Whom his honor
| able career shall have closed-a career that
| has reflected credit upon himself and upon the
| Nation here and throughout the world-when
| Chester A. Arthur shall have resigned the po-
| sition which he has filled with such distin-
| ruishcd credit to himself and the Nation. we
| will have change, and James G.. Blaine will
| assume his place. (Chccrsl We change occu-
| sionally from one shepherd dog to another,
| but VIC never change from any shepherd dog

| Now, gentlemen. you are going to be es-
