A Word in Season.

Ii IS about time for our esteemed
contemporaries Of the Democratic
Protection press To understand, and
understand clearly, that they must
accept the tariff issue which the
Democratic party intends 10 force
into the next campaleE"zs Their
only alternative is--S~ont | -, e
Blaine movement. what II
We mean this particularly for
the New York sun. 1t claims to
to be all for harmony. 1t wishes
to see a United Democracy. Well.
it can have all this, but not on the
lines it lays down. The Demo-
cratic issue III the presidential
campaign is going to be the presi-
dents message on the tariff. Those
who are not for that must be against
the party and the party candidates.
There can be no compromise
either with the Sun or the small
faction for whom it speaks. Dem
OCrats do not believe in repeating
the internal revenue laws, and
they insist upon radically revising
and reducing the tariff. The Sun
can have all the harmony it wants
if it will come into camp. If it
will not do this, there is nothing
left but the Republican tents
and the woods.
We We're led TO infer a few
months ago that the sun was tired
of the woods We trust that we
were not ACCOMPLISHMENTS Post.
Won't they have a sweet time
reading out the protection demo-
