EDITOR NEws' 'DRM0oRATl When
the late civil war broke out the United
States was the second maritime nation
on earth, and was rapidly approaching
first place, but with the advent OF pro

MINORITY ACTION.

The Repository wants to know why
the Democratic minority OF the House
Ways and Means Committee does not
present an opposition bill, and II thinks
that II thinks that the absence OF such
% measure betrays weakness on the part
Of the tariff reformers, The minority
has not determined upon It's action.
The NEWS. DEMOCRAT has already ex'
pressed los uuequivOcal notion that the
presentation OF such an opposing bill
would bring into clearer contrast the
respective taxation theories Of the two
parties. But II by no means follows
that the pursuance Of an opposite
course confesses lack Of harmony or
can be accepted as an evidence Of ina
bility 10 frame such a bill,
The majority Is responsible for all
legislation. The minority cannot be
invoked to 81 are this accountability,
The minority could make "a deadly
parallel" by contrasting the Mckinley
bill with Que of IT'S own, but nothing In
a parliamentary way could bo thus
achieved, that could not be accomplish
ed better In the usual manner And
this common method OF opposition
Is TO attack q majority bill IN
all us weak places, 70 expose them In
debate, to have votes upon amend.
meuts proilered to improve them, and
10 seek 70 mould out Of the reported
bill o measure suitable to become law
That is the effective and usual method
of procedure. A majority Can readily
decapitate by one blow proposed mi
nority substitute lts details Of excel
lence can never be shown. But ma
jorty bill cannot escape the ruthless
exposures Of its fayoritism or inequali-
ties,
The Mills bill yet stands as a com.
peted earnest Of the Democratic faith.
The men who framed II comprise the
present Ways and Means minority,
That bill had the endorsement Of ma.
tional convention, II eau still sub
serve the purposes Of comparison.
But finally let us trace q little his
tory, When the Mills bill was pending
did the Republicans present any sub
stitute In the Housep That party has
not enacted any tariff Legislation since |
the Keifer Congress Of 1883 And how |
did II do that? The House concocted |
an internal revenue bill, and when II |
got into the Senate, that body, gnor.
ing the constitutional restriction that |
all revenue bills should originate IN the
House, tackled TO II a tariff bill, Then by |
a patent process the measure was sent |
TO q conference committee and Just
i've men revised the tariff. The Ohio |
wool growers remember that dark Ian
tern committee.
There is nothing in the record TO
show that mt any time the Republican
party was able In an open and fair
manner TO revise the tariff. IL has nj
ways been It's excuse that IL wished A |
revision TO be made by It's friends, and |
hence there can be little censure If the |
Democrats stand aloof and watch how |
long this friendship will last when the |
friends get to meddling with each |
others pet commodities.

THE decimal appraisement Of real
estate Ia Canton Is now going on. II
would be well for our appraisers to
thoroughly post themselves as TO the

cities of our class, A too high yalua-

son with other cities Is llabloto burden

Of dollars IN taxation over aud above
what they should Justly pay, Whatwe
want is equal 0ppraisment Of real es-
tate all over the state, conditions being

on, sINo qnAr soNa AGAIN,

The old refrain has been started by
the tariff elaqueTs Now they are go'
ing to revise the tariff and when they
finish no party will dare TO molest the
sohedule of duties for years, unless the
business inteTeats, which desire repose,
will rise In wrath and annihllate the
meddlera,
Once again lot us call your attention
10 the annals OF tariff tinkerng, The
Republican party must abide by llH
rreord, and not be tested by It's bun
eombe protestatlOhs, In 1883 the
country demanded q tarlii revision
The tariff commission was devised by
Congress 10 delay the matter At great
expense that perambulatlng body
heard testimony, compiled an immense
report, aud advised reduction OF 20 per
cent, II was q thoroughly Republican
commission, President Arthur was In
olose sympathy with ita recommends
lions, and embodied them In two mea'
aages, Instead Of needing them, the
Keller congress increased che average
tariff tax 10 10 per cent? by the con
ference committee plan, noticed yesler
day Here was IN accomplished lie'
publican revision OF lhe tafiii DID II
slandy Waait 30 eltectual that the
people aud the business interests do
manded that there should be no fur
ther distraction, no further reylslonY
The Democrats carried the next house
on tho tariff issue, They carried The
country IN 1884 upon the same question
They did not lose In 1883 upon that
issue, The platforms of the ltepubli'
can party IN 1884 and 1883 promised re-
VISION. They confessed the impotency
Of the Keller Congress,
Therefore, II Is more than tho old
fatlgulng song, rs tiresome and
wherzy M "swert Vlolrts," or Darling
| am Growing old, when the strain Is
revived that now they are going to TX
the tariii for years to come, 80 that
no party will dare di5lTauge the copi
lallatlc compact Of addition, division
and silence" The Mckinley bill again
advances the rate to ls per cent. The
taHH agitation will never down until
the percentage OF brgOndage practlced
on the consuming masses Is lowered
IRON that point Aud the correct song,
tho ballad that viii be the peoples
