appointment 10 she organs OF the monopo-

had been predicting such direful results

utterly failed and their attempt 10 divide
the party on sectional grounds they then
htltUlIltu huu are SUN attempting W Uaurc
breach In our -auks by s2itating the
tariff question and will no doubt keep 1t
well before the country between now and
the meeting OF the presidential conventions
In June and July, but We predict that u full
discussion OF this question will prove any
thing but hurtful TO the democratic party.
Its fGil discussion will present 10 the
people the grlevous abuses which
the republicans have maintsined In
lavor OF various monopolists nnd against
tho laborng men, and from which they
have derived large part OF the enormous
corruption money with which they have
heretofore brought up returning boards
through which they have been kept In
power. Let the discussion then, on this
question, BIO full and free. The more the PEG
pie know about IL the better for the democ-
racy. It will be n powerful lever in the
hands OF the people and will materially
aid in the overthrow Of the political enemy
Of the country. The tariff question will
scarcely divide the democracy rs devout
wished by the republicans, but its discua-
sion will clearly and distinctly show the
people who have been their friends in The
past and who should DO entrusted with the
future control % our COVER nment.
