lands Message.
Except the income tax (Which was long
ago abolished) no tax levied during the
war was so hateful to Democrats nor so
roundly denounced by them as that upon
liquors and tobacco. The "army of
spies " employed in the service furnished
a theme for unending abuse. Now-nOt
withstanding that tax is the shield and
defense of one of the most dangerous of
trusts, which the So-caIed Democrats af-
feet to abhor-it is the "holy of holieS
in the eyes of the President and of his
party, solely because the large revenues
derived from that source swell the in
come of the government, and they hope
will compel reduction of import duties
to the level of a tariff for revenue only"
The best sentiment of the country de-
mands the immediate abolition of all in
ternal taxes.

AFRAID OF THE CONSEQUENCES

/
Pittsburgh Commercials Gazette.
The Hot Blast, a Democratic paper
published in the producing section
of Alabama, is pleased with the st. Louis
ticket, but very much dissatisfied with
the platform. 1t "deplores the unwis-
dom of the convention as manifested in
the adoption of tariff fOr-revenue- only
platform, and in the Endorsement of the
Mills bill. The effect of this action, will,
we fear, be seen in the next CongreSsiOn-
al elections. There are close districts
where the loss of few votes will result
in the election of Republican Congress-
man."
After expressing the hope that the
adoption of the Cleveland policy of tar
iff reform Twill not result in destroying
the Democratic majority in the next
House of Representatives, our Southern
contemporary says: "The issue is now
made. There is no doding in this cam
paign. The Democracy have declared
for tariff for revenue only, as against
tariff for protection to American indus
tries and the preservation Of our home
markets."
These frank and honest declarations
are in strange contranst with the shilly-
shallying of some of our Democratic con-
temporaries sup North" They have
scarcely got it through their wool yet
that they have got to take their medi-
cine straight. There is no sugar coating
or sweetening for them. They are run
ming tariff f-for-revenue-only candidates
on tariff -fOr-revenue-o only platform, and
there is no dodging in this campaign"

SOMETIME. SOMEWHERE.

Unanswered yet? the prayer your lips have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin TO fail? is hope departing?
And think you all in vain those falling tears?
Say not the Father hath NOT heard your prayer;
You shall have Your desire sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered vet? though when you first presented
This one petition nj the Fathers throne,
1t seemed You cOuId not wait the time of asking,
So urgent WAS your heart to make it known;
Though years have passed since then, do not de-
spair,
The Lord VIII answer You sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet? nay, do not say ungrantcd-
Perhaps yoIr part is not Yet wholly done;
The work began whenyOur first prayer was uttered,
And God will finish what he begun,
If you Will keep the incense burning there,
His glory you shall see sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered;
Her feet are firmly planted on the rock;
Amid the widest storms she stands undaunted;
Nor quails before the lOudest thunder shock,
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer,
And cries, at shall be dOne,'' sometime, some
where. Robert BrOiCHing.

This infamous resolution, which was
penned by Allen G. Thurman, and was
carried through the convention by his
eloquence, was properly looked upon by
all the country as encouraging treason
and rebellion. 1t was passed after South
Carolina had defiantly gone through the
form of withdrawing from the Union,
and State after State was marshaling in
rebellion. Mr.. Thurman's course through
the war and since was consistent with
the spirit of this resolution.

The Democratic plan is to hold fast to
the Internal Revenue taxes, and cut down
the duties on imported goods to point
that will furnish the small balance re-
quired to provide for the wants of gov
eminent. This would put manufactures
and the producers of raw material pro-
tected by the present laws in a worse
plight than under the revenue tariff acts
enacted prior to the war, for the reason
that then the total needed revenues were
derived from import duties, while now
large part would come from the internal
taxes.

THURSDAY. June q. 1883.

The Democratic party Of the United
States. in National ConceRtioR assembled
rene,cs the pledge Of its fidelity to Demo
cratic faith. and rea1iIMS TIE platform
adopted by its representatives IN the Con
centi0R Of 1884, and endorses the CielCS
oppressed By President Cleceldlld IN his
I last annual Message to Congress as the
correct Interpretation Of that platform
/ uDoH TIE question Of tariff reduction, and
also endorses the efforts Of oar Democratic
representatives in Congress to secure a re-
duction Of e.rce$sice ta-eGtion.-Platform
! of the Democrats, 1888.
Herein lies the marrow of the so-called
Democratic platform. It'has the merit
of being the most courageous utterance
from Democratic Convention in quar-
ter of century. 1t is bold, brave de-
claration that the party will no longer
consent to play double upon the question
of Protection. OF course its spokesmen
will insist that they do not intend to in
any manner cripple the industries of the
country. But all men who know any
thing at all upon the subject know that
tariff for revenue only-and retaining
the large revenues that are derived from
internal taxes, beside-will not protect
this country against the poorly paid labor
of Europe, and, practically, would be lit
tie better than no duty whatever upon
imports.
Farmers! Workingmen! all men who
are interested in having the people of
our country well housed and clothed and
fed this declaration should arouse you
like fire-bell at night, and unite you in
the common defense against this dan
gerous assault upon American homes!
When the number Of farmers engaged
IN aCOOl raising is compared Uith the far
mers in the country, and the small pro
portion they bear to oar population is con
sidered;; 1Chen IL is made apparent that
In the case Of large part Of those aotO

this duty should be included in q reUiSiOn
Of our tariff la1Cs.-President Cleyelands
Message.
Here is a square challenge to the wool
growers of the country. There is no
room for doubt as to the meaning of the
Presidents recommendation. He would
have wool put on the free list; and then,
if farmers find wool growing unprofta-
BILE, they can turn their attention to some
thing else. The recompense offered is
reduction of the redundant revenues and
cheaper clothing.
Mr.. Cleveland has not learned the al |
phabet of political economy. Scarcely
farmer of this county or an operative in
one of our factories but would esteem it |
the veriest fun to brush away his fine
spun theories about cheap goods and the
like. Who that can recall the years
1888, when flour sold in st. Clairsville
for S2.75 per barrel, wants return of
such times? Everything was cheap
enough, dear knows; but money was
scarce, and employment scarcer. Yet
all history is at fault if that does not
happen, if Mr.. Cleveland's theories of |
government shall prevail.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-06-21

GOVERNOR HILL, in hisTammany Hall
ratification speech, intended to and did
stick knife into Cleveland. He said if
the Democratic party favored free trade,
he would not be there. This is rank and
bald hypocrisy. The tariff plank of 1884
was straddle that could be interpreted
either way, or any way, and it was SO ex-
planned. Cleveland's message was free
trade to all intents and purposes. The
Mills bill, as it is called, now pending in
the House of Representatives, puts into
legal shape the ideas of the President
This, if enacted into law, would PROSTATE
almost every branch of American indus
try. Upon that ground it is opposed by
Republicans and the Randall school of
Democrats. Yet the Democratic Con-
vention reenacted the platform of 1884
as Interpreted By Cleoelalads Free Trade
Message and the Contention by reS0lu-
ton t'a0ored the passage Of the Mills bin.
This, therefore, is the kind of "tariff re-
form" the Democratic party fayOrs, and
there is no getting around it. The Re-
publicans, on the other hand, favor hon
est reform from Protection standpoint,
and no Republican will try to get around
that.
