SenSltveness OF son men regarding bayo-
nets. cannot help Dut feel tender sorrow
that they should be brought to their minds;
but it is not we who bring them back into
the memory of this country. 1t is tle DEM

The Force Bill!
The only force behind it is the force that is
behind every state of the United States of
America, VIZ: The force of a free country
with all its resources and its power. The
Democracy also signals their fight against
the principle of majority rule by refusing, so
far as they are able, to allow the majority in
congress to carry out and register the will of
the people as declared in 1883. Of what
use is it to elect members OF congress
if we cannot vote! What use is it
to elect majority if 1t cannot go
on? What you want is business,
not excuses for not doing business and il
that is what you want, you want to say so.
The speaker then turned his attention to the
Mckinley tariff. We are going 10 have tre
mendous prices day after tomorrow say
the shopkeepers. therefore come in at once;
buy now because ii you don't the terrible Nc
Kinley tariff, which is lowering in the air,
will swoop down and take all your money
away from you.'' New, there never was any
better proof of the ability of the Western
shepEeeper than that they have inveigled
the Democratic editors in doing all
1t is q singular fact that this proposed raise
in prices is put by the Intelligent Democratic
editor upon ell articles without the slightest
discrimination as to whether the tariff taxi
is raised by the Mckinley tariff or lowered.
There are, however. legitimate raises i'll
prices. Are they a source OF calamity to the
people? If the Democratic idea was true that
the whole American people were consumers.
there might be some sense i'll this Outcry. II
every American citizen sat still in his place
and did nothing but consume. why it would
be matter of serious importance to hlm
what he paid for things; but the American

makes just as much as he consumes, and
more, too. The question of
The Price Of Any thing
is of interest solely with reference to the
amount of money YOU have got in your
pocket When in California they paid So for
a square meal. 1t did not amount to SO much,
for they were getting an ounce of gold worth
SIG every day. On the other hand it is not
of the slightest use to make low prices for
the i'm poverished citizen when he has got no
money in his pocket. They say you cannot
time lower the prices; and yet it is
an absolute fact that when we
began protection wages were low,
prices high, and that to-day wages are high
the Mckinley bill was formed q committee
was appointed which extended from Maine
TO the Pacific coast. taKiug in the Middle
states. the state of Ohio, the great Northwest
ana the state of California. Here, then, were
set of men who certainly knew the wants
and wishes of the people of the United
States. But they never presumed to
know it all. On the contrary, from
the time after the committee was
formed until the bill was finally
passed every man had a hearing who desired.
No wisdom in the United States of America
was despised. The bill was made for the
whole people of the United States and by the
aid and assistance of the whole people of
America. 1t was an American BILL made on
bill which carried out distinctly the plat
form of the Republican party. the party
for whom the people of America voted
in 1888. Then why can any one complain:
We did not wait until the next session, until
election was over, before we passed it but
we did it openly and manfully. intending to
face the people, and we are face to face with
them now. No other great tariff bill was
passed that way within my recollection.
You have to pass upon question whether
you intend to have the house of representa-
tiyes q business body or O sham.
