The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1890-11-02

Voters Of the United States will be
called upon Tuesday to discuss with the
ballot the following topics:
Bayonets at the ballot-box Lodges Force
bill.
Looting Of the laborers- McKinley's
Tariff bill.
Rampant radicalism end riot-Fifty-6rst
Congress.
The first two Of these are mutually inter
dependent: the last one is the natural out
come Of the others. Privileged classes in
ISIS by their contributions robbed the masses
Of the Presidency and turned over the con-
troll of the Government TO Radicalism. .Radi-
calism has repaid them in the Mckinley
Tarin bill. Having obtained possession OF
the Government and being convinced that
methods Of two years ago could hardly be
repeated two years hence, Radicalism re-
sorted to measures 70 make their tenure
eternal.
RECORD OF DIsHONOR.
First, the senate stole two states. That
made Radicallsm comparatively solid toI
some years i'm that body. The House elect
ed Reed as car OF the United states, and,
afraid of their majority, made that majority
larger Dos stealing individual seats, and
thus arbitrarily reversing the choice OF
I44.57f voters in SIX states. Those who
were thus deprived Of their seats were Con-
cre.smen jackson. pendet0n, Of West Nir-
ginia: cate, Breckenridge, Of Arkansas;
Compton, Of Maryland; Wise, Nenable, OF
Virginia: Turpin, Of Alabama, and Elliott,
Of south Carolina.
THE GAR AND HIS MINIONs.
with this enhanced majority Reed and
his rsinions, under rulings established by
Reed. aud ola distnctiyely Reed brand, were
able 10 DO anything. They passed 1885
acts or laws. The most important Of these
wa. the Mckinley TariG bill, which was
signed by the President in an incomplete
form. The passage Of the Silver
bill nearly brought about crisis
in tine financial circles OF the
country. which was ayerted by an
raid upon the Treasury, already being
cmpiied under the Dependent Pensions bill.
These bills were designed to buy votes for
Radeali.m either by appealing TO blind and
Ignorant prejudice or by creating an incen-
ti,c ior campaign contributions or services
I'm the future. The Force bill, which passed
tbe House. but which was delayed by a
deal Doe the senate. was used a. threat for
Che pa-sage Of the Tariff bill, and is intended
a- means Of carrying elections in case the
beuedcares OF the tarin neglect 10 supply
ilnl, .n future.
