The Republican Tariff Farce

NsNtN IuTh htrulU.l
The Tariff bill that came before the
Senate yesterday IS simply fraud and a
burlesque. When this campaign opened
there was rumor that Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Quay had advised against any tariff bill
by the Republicans, or it's presentation, at
least, under circumstances that would
have permitted its discussion. And
although the runner WAS denied as indica-
tive of Republican weakness we now see
that il was true.
Why should Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Quay
wish n reduction OF the surplus: The
surplus means appropriations, money, pen.
zion swindles and infinite lorms of Treas
ury depletion. The surplus has given
chances to the Treasury sharks that will
not soon recur. The Surplus means sun
shine and the time to make hay. To sup
pose that n grand master in the school oi
jobbery like Mr.. Blaine could resolve that
u tumult of popular indignation amount
ing 10 n revolution is TO underrate hi.
courage and audaclty.
| And why should the tariff be reduced I
The monopolsts are in power. They take
in the money. The Carnegie and other
tariff swollen fortunes roll up from hour 10
hour. Labor goes on its weary, dreadful
grinding road from sunrise without hope
TO sunset which brings no peace, The
monopolists, trust kings, coal barons, iron
monarchs-or by whatever name we cal
these robbers OF labor-are all ntrenched |

A Thousand Men Discharged
(Brooklyn Citizenl


Yesterday The Citizen called attention
TO the action of the notorious Sugar Trust
In closing up two refneries in Boston and
throwing out Of employment, on the edge
of the winter, some three hundred of their
hands. 1t was stated at the same time
that similar closing down was threatened
for Brooklyn, on the ground that the price
OF sugar is not up to the high water mark
set by the trust, and TO force it up higher
1t would be necessary'io reduce the amount
produced. In complete veri6cation of this
announcement, as will be seen from our
news columns to-day, President Havemey-
er, oi the Sugar Trust, has Issued nm order
to shut down the two refinerles operated
by Messrs. Decastro & Donner, which en-
ploy altogether / 900 men. The members
of the firm will receive their allotted share
of the profits Of the pool, but their work
men will 60 idle until sucl, time as the
trust has disposed OF all the sugar on hand
and, by making a shortage, has forced up
the price. The profits that will thus ac-
crue to the firm and the trusts at large
will be taken directly from the pockets of
1000 workingmen, who have been sum
m 'rily dischnrged for no fault Ct their
own.
From moral point of view, we think
the reader will agree with us that this act
ia Infamous. II is no more deiensible than
an ict Of highway robbery. The employ
ees are simply overwhelmed by superior
force and are compelled 10 surrender their
wages 10 the trusts. According 10 the
Democratic Attorney. General of this State
the action Is not only moral crime, but
depends for its commission upon distinct
ly illegal act, namely, the transfer to an
illegal body called trust OF the corporate
privileges bestowed upon the firms of
which the trust consists. And the Sill
preme Court Of Tennessee has decided
that such action Is unlawful.
But the Republicans have laid It down,
as one of the issues of this campaign, that
the formation of these combinations, or,
as President Cleveland justly entities them
is entirely lawful. General
Harrison and Warner Miller acqulesce In
Mr. Blaine's positive statement that "lrusts
are private concerns, with which neither
The President nor any one else has right
to Interfere" The Republicans made this
Issue and the Democrats have accepted il.
