How Republican politics hobs around.
Only few days ago General Tuttle, of
Iowa, was the biggest fool in the party.
Up jumps Senator ingalls,. claims the
belt. and wins clear title to it. Next.
La Crosse Chronicle.
A congress that INTAKES tobacco or
whisky, or both, in order to keep the
tariff on neceSSarieS unbrOken will not
awake much enthusiasm in the hearts of
the peOple.-OshkOsh Times.
The mouth is terrible destroyer of
statesmen'S ambitions. Philadelphia
Times.
Central and South America continue
to buy from John Bull in preference to
trading with their fellow-Americans to
the north of them. What a shame that
a little free-trade island should thus be-
little vast country like OurS.-LouiS-
vile COurier-Journal.
The first presidential candidate the
Democrats nominated at st. Louis swept
the country by 100000 majority. That
was a performance worth repeating,
and it can be repeated if the second st.
Louis convention, like the first, will
form platform. The old tariff reSOlu-
ton of 1876 would do for 1888 without
changing word.-Philadelph Rec
ord.
Senator ingalls, may deny that he was
ever Democrat, but how will he meet
the charge that he was once lienten-
ant overnor?-Louisville Courier Jour-
nal.
In the way of political news there is
another diplomatic rumOr to the effect
that ID. b. Hill thinks Cupid greater
than MammOn.- Times.
The Democrats of the ways and means
committee have begun at the right end
and proceeded in the right way. If
they are not sustained party ties are
sham and party pledges a humbug.-
New York World.
The cry comes up to the national Re-
publican committee from Maine: "Send
us documents to counterfeit the effects
of the presidents message" That
sounds as though it would not be profit
able for the Republicans to circulate
the message as campaign document
Oshkosh Times.
SO far as observed none of the copies
Of the presidents message sent out as
campaign documents have been accom-
panied by the compliments of any of
the Republicans who were talking OF
sending them awhile ago.-Ashland
News.
The remark of Senator ingalls, that
Gen. Hancock, Horace Greeley and
Gen. Mcclellan were allies of the con-
federacy has caused some indignation at
the North. But what is the use of get
ting mad at whiffet on WheelS?-At-
lanta Constitution.
To the practical Republican politicians
of the West it is evident that Iowa has
fallen into the category of doubtful
states in the next presidential election,
and it does not make much difference to
them whether the cause is to be found
in Prohibition or in the tariff. They can
take their choice. But either cause is
sufficient to encourage the Democrats or
Iowa to turn position of doubt into one
of assurance and certainty.-Phila-
delphia Record.
Men are thrown out of employment,
but that is of small moment. That's
the way labor is protected. The ''sugar
truSt'' is only a sample of all the other
protected truStS.-WeSt Superior Call.
The tariff tax on wool never reaches
the farmer except in shape of higher
prices for the clothing he buys. We
cannot control the wool market of the
world, and the only tax that will enable
the American wOOl-grOwer to corner
his market must be high enough to be
absolutely neutrality-suspicious. Re
publican.
Mr. RandalPs bill will not be accept
able as whole to the Republicans, and
will probably be used by them merely
as club with which to beat the Demo
cratic committees proposition, leaving
the real struggle between the high-tariff
protectionistS and the tariff reformers
on free trade principles, to be fought
outside of c0ngreSS.-W Washington Star.
Mr.. Randalrs tariff bill furnishes an
other explanation of his uninterrupted
good luck in being elected repeatedly to
congress in the face of an overwhelming
Republican maJority.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
The tariff lobbyists cannot complain
that they had no hearing in the prepar-
alton OF the Randall tariff bill. 1t is
quite evident that tariff monopoly had
the chief share in the manipulation of
that job.-Philadelphia Record.
John Jarrett gets in his work quite
handsomely in the Randall tariff job in
the proposition to more than double the
duty on tin-plates, This is a delicate
way the 'protectiOnists" have of re-
warding Jarret and his employers for
their efforts to defeat leading Democratic
representatives i'll congress.-Philadel-
phia Record.
