So ,he Harrisburg TIegroph: 1t is
well worth. of notice that the Democrats
generally he'dvery different views of the
tariff revi,i,l plank in the Chicago plat
form. B-lnr, the election. they said that
thc removal of inequalities and imperfcc-
,ion~ w.,- VIVA; ii meant. and that moth
ing would be done to iniurc the business
interests of the country. The Morrison
bill tended to the reduction of the tariff
~ much a. they dared. That was beaten.
because il was unintelligible and dis
honest. Randall's bill is denounced rs
being q protectioni>t measure because il
seeks Ia reduce the revcnuc bv lcSSening
the internal revenue. Democrats who do
not care for the business interests will
have none of the Randall Democracy be-
cause il has some care for the country.
Would it not be well To hold the
Democratic party responsible for its
pledges? They SAY they care for the
country's interest before election, but af-
ierward will listen 10 nothing that does
net strike them down. II i well. They
cannot dodge the Issue they have made.
and in a few months mus meet the peo-
pie, whowill lay the double-faeed majori-
~ on the shelf. They have earned their
fate, and canine escape il. The next
Congress will he Republican.
