committeesf New York being asked to
restore the Ton printers TO their cases.
They saw q and county and State
committees the matter of the resto-
ration of tiitnion printers to their
cases on TIN New York Tribune.
They refusee to interfere, and
the Republicahrty, victorious hereto
fore, went dos in defeat. You can
draw your ownynclusions. Lately the
Republican Natal Executive Commit

| ional District:
Whereas, the Courier-srDnl and the

of this city and State, d whereas
the publishers of these Spers have
, | ignored, excluded from tr ernnIoy
and refused to recognize hest home
organized labor and have 5nnlanted
them with ''rat" labor, thersre he If
Resolred, That we requestur com
mittee to induce the publisheof these
. papers to recognize and re-enav hon
est organized home labor, anSf they
refuse to do SO for your comLtee to
formally and publicly declare s; .srat"
papers as no longer the organs your
party.
Chairman Shirley said that thsour-
ier-JOurnal and Times had nevereen
by resolution of convention, or her
wise, declared the official organs oshe

said that they were all q out fore

the party to newspaper publishers.
: certainly thought the committee wot
do that, but the committee might fail
its purpose, and he wanted to know
: that event what would be the position

The answer was that if the commit

HERE WE ARE, AT LAST !

Within the next four years the Republi.
can party will SO adjust the tariff as to re.
duce the revenues OF the government to the
proper point, without interfering with
American n Industries or American wages.
The tGriff will then cease to be an issue,
for under the Republican policy it will be
equaliZed and rendered fair to all interests.
The advantages Of this arrangement will be
SO apparent that no man will nave the
hardwood to propose free trade, or any
step in the direction of free trade. What
then will the Democratic party have for an
issue? Upon what basis will it be able to

Well, we'll ! Here's a state of things |!

~contending for months that tariff reduc-
tion was very necessary, and tried its
best to educate the people hereabout up
to that standard. The "1nter Mountain"
ON the other hand, opposed tariff reduc-
ton, tooth and nail, and contended that
what the people needed was more taxa
ton in the form of protection. When the
fact of a growing surplus in the national
treasury was called to its attention, it
ignored the point, or tacitly referred its
readers to the Chicago platform, which
proposed to relieve this s~urplusage by
freeing tobacco and whiskyo of taxation.

week aftor election, and promises its
readers the very remedies the Democrats |
had urged very plainly for the past three
months. How does the Inter Mountain"
