In favor OF eleyating and digni-
flying American labor, protecting, and extending
home industries, without discriminating in favor
of any class or interest.-Call for Republican
State Convention.
The above is a more desperate at
tempt at straddling than the Ohio
democratic platform of last fall. But
an attempt is is all that it amounts
to. For as a straddle it is a COM
plete failure. To its literal fulfill
ment every tarifl-for-revenue-only
man in the country would say amen.
But not SO with selfinterested
protectionists. There is nothing in
this world that subsidized interests
dread SO much as tariff which does
no discriminate in favor Of any class
or interest. Suppose chairman Nor
rison had brought in such a measure
instead of the moderate bill which
has been reported to the house,
There would be such how raised
by the infant" industries as was
never before heard in the land.
Without discriminating in favor OF
any class or interest is good. Let
congress enact such laws and the
tariff question will cease. Offer Pig
Iron Kelley and Wharton Baker a
tariff bill which does not discrimin-
ate in favor of any class or interest
and see if they do not make wry
faces at it. With u tariff not dis
eliminating in favor of any class
or interest, The Democrat would
think that tbs millennium was close
at hand.

FIAT MONEY.

It is no wonder that the recent
fiat money decision of the supreme
court has surprised and alarmed the
business interests of the country.
The decision is, in effect, that con-
gress has the right and the power at
any time to make its paper promises
to pay legal tender in payment OF
private debt, no matter how much
those promises are deprecated. This
decision was conclrred in by the
eight republican judges on the SUI
preme bench, with Justice Field,
the only democratic member, dis
senting. The surprise came with
greater force because the republican
party for the past few years has been
parading before the country as a
hard money party, or as an honest
money party, as their leaders were
pleased to term it. Everybody
knows how these leaders held up
the finger of scorn at the indepen-
dent preenbackers and denounced
them as fiatists " as though that
one word was enough to consign
them to perdition. And how that
every time the democrats were sue
cessful in congressional elections the
cry was raised that stocks depre-
ciated in Wall street, because that
party was tinctured with the fiat
money heresy. 1t was claimed that
the law which made the greenbacks
legal tender was only passed as a
war measure, and that the govern
ment has no right to make anything
but gold and silver legal tender in
time of peace. Now the republican
supreme court brushes aside all this
and invests congress with the power
to run a fiat money paper mill, not
withstanding that by the exercise OF
such power, the value of all private
contracts will be changed. 1t is
gratifying to know that the one
remaining democratic member OF
the court manfully opposes this
decision which is adverse to all
equity and right. As events are
shaping themselves i and Judging
political parties as well by their
actions as by their professionals
would seem that the old constitu-
tional democratic party will be able
to lay undisbuted claim to being the
only true friend and champion OF
honest money and commercial free
dom.

The great financial panic of 1887
occurred while the compromise pro-
tectiye tariff, of which Henry Clay
was the author, was in force. The
equally disastrous financial crash OF
1857 occurred under the democratic
revenue tariff of 1916. The ire
mendous financial cyclone of 1883
occurred under the highest republi-
can protective tariff ever known.
There would seem to be Indications
that financial crashes come under all
kinds of tariffs, and that no kind of
tariff saves the country from their
worst effects.-Ex.

Congressman from Texas. This sud
den notoriety has been gained by
Mr.. Ochiltree's introduction few
weeks ago, i'll the house of represen-
tltives Of the now famous Lasker
Resolutions, which Bismarck has
thrust back upon our country, with
the intimation that our country
should attend to its own affairs.
This insult stirs the American heart
to resist it, and brings Mr.. Ochiltree
into national prominence in the af-
fair which will perpetuate his name
in our civil history.
Mr. Ochiltree is a resident of Galveston. Texas,
and the first native Texan ever elected to con.
gress. He represents twenty-seven counties,
which compose the seventh district. and com
prise over $1,000 square miles of territory, reach
ing from Galveston, on the Gulf to Eagle Pass
on the Upper Rio Grande. He was elected to
Congress as an independent by majority ex-
ceeding 5000 votes over Ftndlay, the democratic
candidate.
After receiving limited education at the pub
lie schools of his state at the age of seventeen he
became private in tie Texas Rangers, and was
engaged in the campaign against the Apache and
Commanche Indians In 134i-5. When the wal
broke out Mr.. Ochiltree went in with the con
federacy, and his war records on the stats o.
Generals Green, Taylor and Sibley, is replete
with incidents of bravery that would that would
have been more profitable in a better cause
But when the victorious armies of the north
had suppressed the rebellion, Colonel Ochiltret
accepted the new order of things in good faith
and in time appointed United States Marsha
of Texas by President Grant, and thereafter wa
appointed United States Commissioner of Emf
grafton to Europe i'll which capacity he severa
times visited foreign countries, and when IL
Berlin had numerous audiences with Bismarcl
on emigration affairs.
In personal appearance Mr.. Ochiltree is one o
the original freaks of human nature. Heay.

The Democrat is pleased to see
that the state central committee
in issuing a call for democratic
state convention have made a clear
and unequivocal declaration in favor
of lowering the duties on imports.
Such action Is indeed commendable
in these days of equiyocal platform
wording. 1t is to be regretted that
the call for the national convention
is not as boldly outspoken. As it is,
it is non-committal on the tariff
question. And revenue reform dem
ocrats everywhere ought to see to it
that the national platform is not
patterned after it. We would like
to see our state convention follow
up the action of the central com
mittee by adopting resolutions dis
tinctly declaring that Wisconsin
democrats will not support plat
form Of principles which does not
boldly declare for greater CONNER
cial freedom. And if other state
conventions did likewise it would
have a bcnificent effect on the
national platform makers, and per-
haps prevent show of timorousness
in facing the music of tariff reform.
Opposition to thieving tariff laws is
to us a cardinal principle of demo
cratic faith and we believe it would
be suicidal for the national democ-
racy when in convention assembled
to fail to rcanirm its adherence to
that principle.
