Morrison Bill.

TuE defeat of the Morrison tariff
bill in the House, while only hoped
for by conservative tariff reform Dem.
ocrats, echoes in a full measure the
sentiments of the great mass of the
American people, aud is one bright
spot in the desert Of a personal ambi.
ton that would ruin Democratic pros
poets of victory this fall. Carlisle,
Morrison and Wat.erson, the great
free trade triumvirate, would place
the Democratic party on the defensive
and in a false position, on the eve Of a
great national conflict. That means
defeat. That they love the Democrat
ic party we doubt not; "Not that loved
Cesar less, but Rome more, is their
motto, as it was Brutus' defense after
having plunged the dagger into the
heart of his friend Cesar. Cesar, in
the present instance, is the Democratic
party, Rome is Carlisle. Morrison and
Watterson. Mr.. Randall character
lied the bill az a confession on the
part of its authors of their inability
to grapple with an Intricate question.
Such no doubt is the fact, but the in
competence Of the so-called tariff re-
formers should not be saddled on the
Democratic party.
Morrison fatty and squarley refused
10 allow amendments to be made on
his bill, and then on the eve of his de.
feat taunted Mr.. Randall and his fol.
lowers with the challenge "if you
have the power to defeat this bill, you
have the power to amend It," Morri-
son knew when he uttered these words
that it was impossible to amend the
bill at that time, as the Republicans
would have voted with the Morrison
people. In this he was unfair, nay,
with the knowledge Of the facts he
was dishonest, and resorted 10 the
tricks Of a ward politician. That
there should be "reform" Of existing
tariff laws the most ultra protectionist
will admit, and on that point all agree.
