JUDGE RYLAND's REPLY.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: In reply
/ to the answer of Judge Young il was
impossible for my communication To
bring him into disrepute by scandalous
charges, unless to be connected with
the Working Mems Democratic Tariff
| Reform League Is in itself scandalous.
He alone is responsible tor his connec-
ton with it. He is q member OF il,
and made q speech to IL thanking the
league for the honor they conferred
upon him by electing him 10 member
ship therein,
At the time the league caused its
article TO be revised for publication by
Judge Yonng, both the gentlemen
asking him to do the work and Judge
Young knew that unfavorable criticism
had been made upon the object and
workings of the league in some par
ti~culars. The article published ignored
the matters which were subjects OF
criticism, and was calculated to mis-
lead,
The question is o did Judge Young
emit anything from the manuscript
which he revised, but did he know of
the features and bylaws which were
published in my article before the pub
lication of the vindication of the
league?
ne was shown Article %, "Fraud-
ulent Disposition" and he denied that
such article was In the constitution or
by laws. If this be true he had both
actual and constructive notice of The
rules and regulations which subject the
league to criticism. AS 3 member OF Il
secret political organization, and one
OF its most learned members he is
Justly chargeable with knowledge of
its constitution, bylaws, Gins and
purposes, II these have been withheld
from him, then he bad full opportunity
to discover and rcpudiate them il
wrong, or TO correct them if objection
able, or endeavor 10 do SO.
Here is the plain English of the
whole matter, according TO the state
meDt of Judge J Dung and the league,
he, who has been so often bpnored by
the democratic party, and who has
sought at the bands OF that party
nomination to congress, TO the circuit
and other judgeships, is a member of a
democratic organization 1000 strong,
and is neither ready 10 condemn or
defend the object purposes o. OEganlza-
ton of such q body of democrats. itat
be been elected TO membership IN a
republican league, and visited it and
made a speech thanking it for the
honor conferred upon him it would be
a little too thin for Judge Young TO
say he had not read its bylaws, and
was not prepared to condemn or
defend it. lie is too old in politics,
too old in Office holding and office

A great many heretofore strong re-
publicans are becoming Disguised with
abe extreme high tariff position of the
leaders OF their party now In congress.
We met q gentlemen the other day who
was formerly q republican state officer
In Missouri. He was just from WASH
ington, and spoke as follows:-'.I wss
surprised to see the extremes to which
the republican party leaders are going
In Washington. l was there some
time aud the same scene was repeated
ut the capitol every day. One morning
on entering the corridor of the ways
aud means committee l would see q
great crowd of well.dressed, SHARP
looking men. Who are these? l would
ask. y, they are the iron men. They
want an advance in the tariff on their
manufactures. The next morning Il
would be the cutlery men. The next
the glass men. And 30 1t would 60
from day TO day. Every day some
special interest asking for special
privileges, and nearly always getting
them. In all this, though, | saw 10
thought for the laborer-only increased
duties and enhanced prices for the
owner, the capitalist. And then l
asked myself where are the special
pleaders for the interests OF the people,
the consumers, those who must pay
for all this legislation and it's fruits? /
tell you, sir, the republican party can
not stand such work % this; and, AZ l
told q prominent republican editor last
night In st. Louis, the party is In a bad
way. Il reminds me OF q ship in a
storm, which instead Of taking In sail,
stretches canvas after csnvss until
II has every inch on board spread to the
blasts. 1t simply courts disaster and it
is bound to come" These are the
views of q prominent and intelligent
republican, not of q democrat, and he
added 1.-THE leaders In Washington
fail TO realze q great difference which
exists now from at any previous epoch.
Until recently republicans generally
have been avowed protectlonists. The
manufacturers, particularly 30. 1t is
NO longer unreseryedIy the case. The
shoe manufacturers Of the east want
free hides. The manufacturers OF cloths
want free wool. Even Mr.. Neidering-
hans, incorporating protectionist as
he has been, wants free borax. This
sentiment Is Observation-Disclosures
asking for free raw materials. Mr..
Arthur first gave the country warning
In his message. Mr.. Cleveland was no
more positive, but he went into details
and thereby arrayed against himself
special industries, the owners of which
spent many thousand dollars to defeat
him. These very same men are now
snsagonized by Mr. .McK inley's extrems
policy, aud are becoming convinced
that Presidents Arthur and Cleveland
were right, and that they were wrong.
Why, President Arthur's tariff COM
mission recommended q reduction Of
20 per cent. For recommending 2 per
,ent In the Mills bill the democratic
party was assailed as fsvoring free
/ am a protectionist to the eE-
tent that I desire infant industries TO
be assisted and protected until they can
upon their feet, but this Mckinley
business is simply protectionism run

Intelligent republicans who believe as
his gentlemen does. '
