1928 MAJORITY
In The House.

Glorious news! The America,
people arose in their might las1
Tuesday, and administered . re
buke tn the party Of sectionalisu
and Capitalization that it will never
forget. even should 1t survive the
blow. Democratic majorities have
been rolled up al over the country,
in the North as well rs in the South.
The people have roundly denounced
Reeds tyrannical rulings IN the
House; they have repudiated the
rich mans tariff scheme and de-
feated Mckinley, the author Of the
bill F.; they also elected q Democrat
t" succeed Rowell, the champion Of
the infamous Force bill.
1t was > political tidal wave sucl,
as has seldom been seen in this
country, and shows that the great
North is reliably Democratic when
the mass Of the people turn out and
vote: 1t shows that the people are
rallying to the cause of DemOcra-
cy and low taxes. The political
status of the country, shown by
Tuesdays election, is IS follows |:
p Democratic States, - Republic
can States. The Republican ma
jOrity in the present House is z,
but in the next House there will be
a Democratic majority Of l29, or
nearly two-thirds.
The Democrats have good reason
to he proud of the wonderful victory
they achieved last Tuesday. 1t
means the death Of the force bill,
an end to oppressive measures
against the South, and . govern
mental policy in favor Of the
People, instead Of. q few favored
millionaire manufacturers.
Louisiana, in common with the
rest Of the country, did her whole
duty. We have elected . solid
Democratic delegation, and con-
signed Warmoth and Coleman to
the shades Of oblivion. There is
indeed cause for rejoicing through
out the land, ~ the result means q
more quiet and prosperous condi-
ton of affairs, and will surely pave
the way to an easy Democratic VIC
tory in the next Presidential elec-
lion, in 1892.
Besides the overwhelming victory
In the House, . number of States
in the North, East and West have
ousted the Republicans and elected
Democratic Governors and Legis-
latnres, which insures = gain OF sew
sral United States Senators.

The an:i-lottery postal law, Is
might have been expected, has Civ
en- new life to the Mexican aud 9TH
er foreign lotteries, and they are
sending circulars throughout the
country calling attention to the IA
cities afforded by the foreign mails
to forward money abroad for the
tickets Of foreign companies. This
b another practical demonstration
of the axiom that prohibition don't

The new tariff bill 80 long talked
about, has become q law. That it Is
an abomination in many particular
there Is no question. It will add
another burden upon the laborin: :
and producing people Of the coun
try-a burden that will fall heavily
upon the people Of the west-a
people who are producers aud
not manufacturers. 1t will put ad-
ditiOnal weight upon the backs of
the farmers In all parts Of the land.
1t will add millions to an already
over-burdened treasury. We are
now speaking in the interest of the
masses : the men who till the soil
aud produce our bread, butter and
meat, and whose farms are mortgage
ed to the extent that the m0neyed
kings Of the land will lend them.
But the political shriekers say
''This tariff bill was . masterpiece.
Of craftsmanship - bit, we ask.
what shall be said Of the statesman
ship which in time Of profound
peace increase the burden Of nation
n taxation almost one third?
The tariff puts all sugar which
cannot be used without refining on
the free list, and engages to paw al
producers Of sugar for the next
fifteen years II to ? cts. per pound
for what they can produce. This
means cheap sugar for the
people, with the introduction Of
the outrage Of . bounty system
to domestic manufacturers Of q IA
vOred article. 1t also allows the
President Of the United States to
levy . tax ON tea. coffee, sugar,
mOlasses and hides whenever he
wishes to do so.
The new tariff increases the tax
on wool, tits true, and bases it's
tax on wooden yarns and cloth
Ing on the tax ON wool: SO that yarn
used in making blankets, socks and
cloth for common clothing and the
cloth itself are practically shut out
Df the market. This will reduce
The revenue, increase the cost Of
living and enrich WOODEN manufac-
Eursrs. The tax on window glass
and glass ware, on stOneware,
lueensware aud china. and on cut
cry and hardware will shut foreign
goods out Of the market. This will
reduce the revenue, increase the
,ost Of living and enrich manufact-
lrers Of glass, crockery and cut
erY.
