The Southwest promises, as always, to
be the salient of the political line when
the two parties wage the severest fight
for the advantage that may be obtained
at a doubtful point.
The Southwest is Democratic, but the
Democratic papers with Republican prin.
ciples have infused the people of that
section with the idea that protective
tariff is a power of development. All
that is necessary is TO let the people of
the Southwest see exactly what the issue is,
and they will come into line all right as
they did 10 1888, after going Republican
by 5000 In the Daniel Cameron campaign.
OF course if the Republicans are left to
tell their forid stories of the paradise of
protection the game gone, but as far
as the Democrats are concerned We want
to see our sblest speakers take the stump

When Moral PHILOSOPHER Blair of th

When Moral Philosopher Blair of the
United States Senate tries his scheme on
his own State, here is the criticism he
gets from the Journal Of Commerce:
"His scheme is an offer of premiums
for ignorance, Incidence, and mendi-
cancy. l. is kind of lottery in which all
the prizes are sure to go TO the undeserv-
ing and the blanks to the meritorous
But, absurd as it is, it holds out promise
of helping Mr. Blar's party at the South,
and also provides for the dispensing of a
colossal patronage Bills with such
recommendations at their back never
want for friends in Congress, and so we
are not surprised that Mr.. Blair captured
the Senate with it. though it is extremely
doubtful if this particular specimen of
foolishness will survive the gauntlet OF
the lower house.

All hail, Old Thurman !

The National Democratic platform may
not be exactly thing of wisdom, but
there will be enough to 1t 10 show the
people of the United States that the
present national contest Is an issue be-
tween the party of popular rights and
the party of Capitalization, ring rule, and
monopoly.
One House of Congress is Democratic,
the other Republican, and the Democratic
majority in one House is not large enough
to absolutely command. There is no rea-
son why the representatives in conven-
ton of the people should tie themselves
and the party to stake and confne the
policy to difficult fight on the part Of
the Democratic majority in the House.
The best and wisest way is to lay down
certain general principles and pledge the
party to carry them out as best the cir
cumstances may admit The foremost
idea of tariff reform Is the plain and
direct one in Mr.. Cleveland's message,
and the Convention will be quite safe to
reiterate that policy, and leave the PEG
pie to elect bigger Democratic majority
In the House In order to carry it out.
We believe that the ST. Louis Conven-
ton may declare platform that will put
the party in good position, provided II
is aggressive enough TO force the Repub
licans to their trumps and make them
fight defensive battle. The vast farm
ing interest Of the country is strongly in
favor of reducing war taxes, and the
most. intelligent of the manufacturers
and merchants go that way. 1t is neces
ssry to rally these forces and attack the
Republicans on their weak point, which
is protection of monopoly by exorbitan
war taxes in time of peace.
