The minority. of Democrats-the recre-
ants to their party and aiiers OF Republl-
h eanisn--may congratulate themselves that
they have crippled the party; but they and
their Republican allies should understallu
that the tariff battle has but just begun,
i and it will continue to wage, from now
on with increasing intensity. until the
4 unanswerable. arguments and the sofld
facts, thundered from the guns, OF the
Tarff-reformers shall silence the replies
from the Protectionists craft, whose mis-
. SION is plundering the many for the bene'
i fit of the few.
From the Louisville Courier Journal
The rejection of the Morrison bill is as
far as protected interest are concerned
a blunder that as the contest progresses
will assume the proportions OF a CRIME
The Democratic party is the party OF rev
enue-reform, or it is nothing. Ii ou
leaders are not equal to their opportunl
ties; if they lack courage and determlna
ton; if they are still doubling ana nesl
tating, we must have change OF leaders
or the party itself will be as disorgan1ze'
and as useless as the Democratic majors

Whatever else it may show, the KILN
Of the Morrison tariff bill proves beyon
question the incapacity of the Democrat
party for the serious work of Legislation
The attitude of the Republicans IS hardl
stronger than that Of the Democrats. In

strong influence upon the Congression;
elections next fall, such is the GROWN
feeling in favor Of tariff reduction.
