THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT

For several weeks past, there has beer
under consideration in the House o
Representatives, measure known a,
the Mills bill, ty which the dominant
party proposes 10 alter, aud as they s,y
correct the inequalitiesof the present un
just system Of taxation. Brilliant and
able speeches have been made By the
great leaders of both political parties
and Gu Saturday last, the formal discus
sion was closed by Mr.. Carlisle, the
Speaker Of the House. There can be
no question in the minds Of those who
are unbiased, that notwithstanding all
the soDhistrics used during the dcba'e by
their opponents, the Republicans have
made the best showing before the coun-
fry. The indications are at the present
time, that the presidential nominee of the
Republican party, will carry the country
BY a majority which was only exceeded By
that given to Gen. Grant. In every
Rational campaign for years past, the
tariff question was not fairly met by the
Democratic party for platform was al
ways adopted which could be construed
TO mean protection in the Northern
States. and free trade in the Southern
But owing to the stubborness Of Presi-
dent Cleveland, this issue has been fore
ed before the country, and the contest
will be fought by the two great contend
ing parties on the issues as laid down in
his annual message to Congress on The
State Of the Union. Tn. President in
that message declared that there is no
Just complaint, and that nothing is so
well and able to bear the burden with
out hardship to any portion of the peo-
pie as that Of internal revenue taxes !
This declaration upon his part was in d.
rect opposition to the Dem ocratic plat
form upon which he was elected, and
which asserted that "internal revenue
tax was war measure aud should be !
repealed. The present position of the 5
Democratic President, and the position =
occupied by him when seeking his cleo. =
ton, are in such direct conflict, that the /
contrast will be forcibly made to his v
great detriment, as will be found in Nov p
omber next. Democratic doctrines which
ieclarc in favor Of reduc ion in the

retention of the internal rev. i
will not prove satisfactory to ?,

The Democratic leaders are a curious
lot of people. No sooner docs R'puh
lican begin to give them cold, hard
truths than they get mad, call him q
liar, dirty dog, etc They have an i.lea
that epithets are better than arguments
and when men have to resort 10 epithes
the cause must be very weak indeed.
