THE CONSIDERATION of the tariff bill has
been resumed in the U. S. House of Repre-
sentatives. The democrats have working
majority In that body. Having that maj or-
ty, they will not be blameless if they fail to
exercise its power, and force vote on that
bill at an early date. The people of the
country are tired of the delay, and will hold
the democrats responsible, and justly SO, for
its longer continuance. 1t is we'll enough
for majority to be conceding, but longer
concession in the case referred to will cease
to be virtue. Then, too, it will not make
the democrats single vote next fall.

THE HIGHEST court in New York has just
decided that the members of no organize
ton of workmen have the right to insist
upon the discharge of fellow workman,
or prevent him from obtaining employment
elsewhere, because he does not choose to
belong to their, or to any other labor
organization. 1t would seem that in

only have been utterly unnecessary by the
highest, hut by any other court, in any of the
States composing the country. Life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness are granted to

JUDGING FROM the recent pouriDgs forth
of Senators Ingalls,, Chandler and Edmunds,
those ofthe latter in the Forum for July.
the republicans will attempt to subordinate
the tariff, in the coming campaign, to what
they evidently suppose is still their strong
est caid-that of the bloody shirt. The
spirit of the articles of Messrs. Edmunds
and Chandler in the mageZine referred to
would not have heen out of accord with
that prevailing in the North during tho ex
istence of the civil war, and exhibits as
much venomous hate for the people of the
South now, twenty three years after The last
gun OF the war was fired, as was cherished
when Sherman burned Columbia aud Sheri-
dan devastated the Valley of Virginia.
Well, all of this tends to keep The South
solid, anG with her three-:ourths ofthe votes
requisite to re-elect Mr. Cleveland secure,
every body acquainted with Northern char
acter knows that the democrats ofthe North
who will reap most all the real benefits of
the victory, are not the kind of men 20 de-
prive themselves of those bent fits by failing
to supply the laltry remaining one
fourth, especially as they have the brains
and the money necessary to accomplish that
purpose. The Northern republicans are not
wise. There have been several times when
the solidity of the South was at the point OF
dissolution, but every time, just before the
frat crack could be discerned, the bloody
shirt was waved in the North, and the South
became as solid IS ever.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE %.
q,,,c rprsIDrNr1A1 campaign Of 1883 be-

TIVE PRESIDENTIAL campaign Of 1883 BE-
inc about to open, it is important that Vo-
tors should understand clearly what are It's
is.ues. Both parties bave nominated men
r. whom no personal exception can be ia
ban and whether Cleveland and Thurman or
Harrison and Morton are elected, the coun-
try will suffer no dscredit. Principles,
not men, therefore, can be considered.
The chief, if not the only issue before the
neonIe will be the tariff; not simply what
shall be the rate of duty upon this or that
article, but the principle Of taxation for the
sake of So caled protection to American
labor. Even in the palmiest days OF the
old whig party, Henry Clay, the embodi-
ment of whg principles" and the father OF
the American sys,e1n," made no such de-
mand upon the voters as the republican par
ty now makes The whig platform of 1914
advocated simply "a tariff for recenue, with
incidental protection" and there are few
democrats at the present day who would
not be willing to concede that sort of pre-
lection. But more is asked. Enboldened
by q long career of successful plumber, the
millionaire manufacturers, the "robber bar
ons" Of our day demand tariff not for rev.
enue, but for protection. Their prototypes
built castles on the heights and sent forth
their armed retainers to take tribute from the
traders az they passed on road or river;
thew, more subtle, but not less rapacious,
deceive the unwary by the cry Of danger to
our manufactures, and urge them TO the
polls to vote themselves tributaries. A man
has a right TO be millionaire if he can be-
come so honestly, but 1t must not be forgot
ten that the more men who have million,
the more there will be that have nothing.
The policy of the State should be to equal
ia. as far as it can be done without viola
ting the laws of equity, the fortunes of its
citizens to have no very rich and no very
poor. The middle class is apt to be the
most patriotic Mllionares can find refuge
in foreign lands from misery in their Own,
beggars and tramps cannot suffer from rev.
o!u,ions having nothing to lose, and they,
therefore, welcome them; but the great
boGy of the industrious, frugal, and virtu
Gus people love their country and are it,
separately bound up in its welfare These
are the men whom protective tariff does not
protect, but plumbers, and the democratic
party will be doing its proper work if it
lays before them such information upon the
tariff question as will prove it to them.
