The Tariff Question.


The time has come for the Demo. !
Gratis of the country to know just what
TO expect OF their party in congress.
They have looked for reformatory
tariff legislation, and they have been
disappointed. A combination of thir.
ty-nine Eastern Democratic congress-
men, by an alliance with the Republic
cans, have resisted the attempt of true
Democratic representatives to effect
legislation in pursuance OF the coun-
try's demands. This places the party
in an attitude before the country that
it cannot bear, and to correct miscon-
ception it must take decisive action.
Men who act with Republicans upon
great questions of party principle
