The list might be extended. but
enough are given to furnish food for
thought If this heavy burden were
necessary to support the Government
no patriotic citizen would object to the
tax thus imposed. but the truth is it is
not necessary. By the maintenance Of
this tariff money Is being drawn from
the people that is not needed and can
not be used. The injustice of such a
system is too evident to need discus
sion, and the suggestion that the in
justice be done away with and the taxes
reduced to the actual needs of the
Government is the cause of all the
bowling about free trade and dangers
to American industries. There is still a
greater injustice in that the tariff does
not bear equally upon the people. The
Democratic policy is to readjust the
tariff so that the burden may fall upon
the luxuries of life and not upon the
necessities, and the idea is equally abb
horrent to the protectionists. Shall
the tariff be reformed and taxation re-
duced to the necessities of the Govern
ment. honestly and economically adj
ministered, Is all the tariff issue there
is before the country to-day. This is
to be the issue in the next campaign.
We ask every man to consider it fairly
and to read for himself chester

THE SOUTHERN VOTE.


A Wholesome Lesson Taught by the Re-
cont Louisiana Victory.
One of the staple Republican cries
is that the South maintained its solidi-
ty against the Republican party be-
cause there is not free and fair vote
in that section. They assume that the
number of colored votes in Southern
State represents the number of the Re
publican votes. and that a relatively
light vote is indicative of a suppression
of Republican votes. Mr.. Vest, in the
United States Senate recently, showed,
by comparison of the vote with the
whole voting population in number
of specially-selected Southern and
Northern States, taking in the whole
range from the lowest to the highest
percentage of vote to voting popula-
ton. the Southern States chosen OUT
ranked, one by one. the Northern
States with which comparisons were
instituted. As Mr.. Vest explained,
the comparison was not wholly fair.
but it was in keeping with the Repub-
lican line of argument Comparing
the general average of the vote in
Northern and in Southern States. and
there is an excess in favor of the
former of about six per cent
The fullness or want thereof of the
vote in any State, be it Northern or
Southern, depends upon the earnest
ness with which the political contests
in such State are waged. Michigan
was more hotly contested in 1884 than
in 1880, and the vote in comparison to
population was therefore relatively
larger in 1884 Ohio has voting pop
ulation but little in excess of that of
Illinois, yet the popular vote of the
former was ITO, 600 larger than that of
the latter in 1884. and there has been
as great or greater disparity at every
election in recent years According
TO the Republican theory, as applied to
the South, this would indicate Terri
Bile suppression of Democratic votes in
Illinois. 1t simply indicates, however.
that Illinois has not been in recent
fears canvassed from end to end with
the vigor and persistence that have
been shown in Ohio.
Tie recent election in Louisiana Il
noteworthy as having brought out BY
fur the largest vote ever polled in the
State. If fullness of vote is represen-
tative Of freedom and fairness. it was
exceptionally free and fair. The vote
is from 60. 600 to 20. 600 heavier than ii
was in the Presidential election Of
1884. and 40. 600 to 50. 600 heavier than
that cast at the election for Governor
in April four years ago. The Demo
cratic vote in the State is nearly. il
not fully. twice that given for Cleve-
land. and $4,000 to 40 900 moro than
McEnery polled for Governor in April.
