Brooklyn Eagle.
Speaker Carlisle is known to be not
only man of convictions, but one who
has the courage to vow them in an I'M
mistakable way. He does not think it
worthwhile to waste time il arguing
that the tariff ought to be "a prominent
issue in the campaign" He says that
''as both parties have given it great
prominence in their platforms, and az
Blaine and Logan 'have devoted q large
part of their letters to it" he docs not
see how its discussion can be avoided -

shall discuss it ON the side of revenue re-
form or by evasive speech or forced 81

view.
Mr.. Carlisle says: ''The action of the
republican convention and its candidates
shows how greatly mistaken those gen
tlemen were who supposed that great
public question like this could be ignored
in a political contest. The existing in
dustrial commercial and financial con,
dition of the country forces the question
of federal taxation upon the attention OF
the people, and it is the duty of public
men to meet it in a spirit of candor and
