 Probao;y tho ene Te i,on for rspuOii- i can n-clisds 9er ich vii oe most ire queutiy gwen Is bAe statement that voters lid not fully understand the op- eratlon of Jne new tariff law which was very u Iwisely allowed to go into affect a mo nth before the election long enough for its inconveniences to be felt or feigned, and not long enough for its adv Intages to become generally evident. Thi. was done upon the hypothesis that the people had expressed an un- lnisUaka ole preference for such a meas ure. and that If they once got it they would be so delighted with it that they would hardly be able to express their gratitude to the party giving it to them.
 This Idea was no doubt a correct one except in the one elemsnt of time. The Byssander whose thoughs is always fix ed upon the popular iclination and the study of cause and effect in popular sentiment, protested as stoutly as he was abls against law of such compile K Ity and such wide spread application to economic interests being allowed to go into operation wi5hin sixty days of its ! adoption bofore it's provisions could possibly be generally apprehendei, and on the eve of general election. 1t was urged especially upon those having the matter ia charge that the tariff law was not measure of specific relief, but a causatlve agency, the value of which must De learned by experience and not instantly perceived. 1t is like pair of new shoes, which, however much bare footman may need them, are very apt to cause irritation and discomforture by the first days wear. The people of the United States are not any less in favor of the protection of American labor than they were in 1888, but the election came just at the time when the irksomeness of the new shors was upon them, and was greatly enhanced by the enemies of ] this economic dogma, who persisting and exultantly cried,"I told you sor' The new things had not been wore long enough to have their good qualities ap- 1 preciated.
 If the republican party is wise, it will not again approach the polls with its eggs all in one basket. It will not stand, if it heed the lesson it has receiv- ed, again simply as the representative of an economic system or the guardian of | American labor. Ii will be the exponent of American ideas as well It will de- clare as fundamental American doct- rines.
 l. That no man who speakes only the language of foreign jurisdiction Shal be allowed voice in the election O Congressman and the control of Nation al policy.
 ?. That Congressman shall be elect ed under the provisions of National election laws, at the elections held by National officials, independent of al State control.
 3. That such elections shall be helc under the provisions and restrictions of the Australian ballot system by which the corrupter of the ballot, whether priestor "boss" or purchaser, must at least loose his hold upon his victim when he enters the polling place and the door is shut upon him in the pertor nance of the freeman's holiest duty.
 When the republican party invites the people of the United States to meet to- gether in their town halls, their school houses, and in their shops and families to discuss and decide upon such issues, it will need no bosses" to marshal It's voters to the polls and need fear no landslides or of years"
