Who Began It2

In 1888 the republican party had
both houses of congress (the immortal
Keifer was speaker of the house) and
the president. A republican tariff
commission after giving hearing to
every important and unimportant indus
try recommended an average reduction
of twenty FIVE per cent. of the existing
tariff. The republican congress revis-
cd the tariff laws and pretended to
make reduction of duties, but their
reduction failed to reduce.
So unsatisfactory was the revision of
the tariff laws made by the republican
congress of 1883 and approved by
President Arthur that the repu blican
national convention of 1884 which no.
minated Mr.. Blaine for president, de-
clared that the tariff should again be
revised. The republican national plat
form of 1884 was virtually and to all
intents and purposes an indictment OF
of the republican PARTY in congress,
and of the republican rational admin
istration, for their failure 10 make a
just, sufficient and equitable revision of
the tariff. 1t comes, therefore, with a
very bad grace from the republican
press to charge the democratic party
with producing an agitation Of the tar
if question which could have been a.
voided if the last republican national ad'
ministratiop had done their daty in the
premises, and which the republican
party itself has declared in its last ma
tional platform to be important and
necessary. a..
The responsibility for the present ar
if agitation, therefore, is not with tn
democrats but rests with the republi-
cans who began it with their tariff
commission, failed to settle it when
they had the power, proposed in their
last national platform to reopen it and
now insist upon prolonging it inde6n-
itely by obstructing the efforts of Pres
ident Cleveland and the democrats in
congress to dispose of it. The republi-
can press and politicians only betray
the utter unfitness of their party to
deal with the tariff question when by
their stupid complaints concerning the
present agitation they recall the his
tory of its own connection with it,
