What the Victory Means.
[Chicago Evening Post, 1nd.1

lCh1cago Evening fost, lnd
The result of the Congressional cleo
tons throughout the country must be
accepted as proof that the American peo-
PIE are not so dead to their own best
interests and not so sodden in the pres
ence Of National danger as has been
charged against them. The violent par
tisanships born of the civil war have
survived to become reproach to the
victors in that struggle. Under their
influence the masses of the people have
been an easy prey to adroit leaders who
have known how to play upon senti-
ment and passion to further such
schemes of exploitation as the world
never saw before. In a word, we have
had as the most baleful issue of the
civil war tue so-called protective tariff
with its attendant evils Of centralized
wealth and monopolistic oppression.
Never before have such fortunes been
builded in so short time. and never be-
fore were fortunes more clearly realized
upon the misfortunes OF the people.
Yesterdays work is an encouraging
sign that the people have, however
tardily, realized their real position.
The Congress which gave to this coun-
try the most exorbitant tariff measure
in the history of legislation has been
sharply rebuked by the reversal Of the
majority which made the Mckinley bill
law. The Fifty-first Congress came
before the country on the merits of its
tariff legislation; it has been rebuked
because the people want less tariff in
stead of more.
The lesson of this defeat would be
wholly lost to one who failed to notice
the share that Republicans have had in
it. 1t is in effect the Republicans who
have made the change necessary; the
Republicans at length awaken to the
fallacy Or worse of the policy which
they have hitherto blindly followed
The Republicans of the Fitty-frst Con.
gress would have defeated the McKin
ley bill had they thought more of theil
own convictions and less Of party dis
cipline.
Their constituents have been more
courageous and the warning will not be
lost

been sufficient to keep him out of the

Louisville Courier Journal, Dem.
This is Republic and not despot-
ism. So spalSe the people through the
party of the people From ocean to
ocean they rose in revolt against the
usurpers who have sought to make our
National Government mighty oil
garchy for robbing citizenship of its
sovereignty and substance. Under the
stress of Reedism and McKinleyism,
Massachusetts rises in a righteous revo-
luton, hardly second to that in which
she shook off kingcraft over hundred
years ago. New Hampshire stands
shoulder to shoulder with her now as
she stood then. Connecticut is abreast
of both. and almost every State in the
Union feels and manifests this newly
quickened impulse Of Democracy which
is our National life.
This revolt against Capitalization and
tyranny; against insolent oppression;
against unWarranted and cruel taxa
ton; against an audacious menace of
self-government; against reckless ex-
travagance and greed in collecting and
dissipating tho National revenues, has
swept the Republicans from the popu-
lar branch of Congress and installed an
overwhelming majority of the repre-
sentatives of Democracy, Democratic

more heartily than I over the results.
My qualification is that of an American,
proud of his fellow countrymen, who
though led away for time by party
prejudiees and by blind confidence in
cunning and selfish leaders, could not
be. deluded to their ruin. they have
demonstrated that in dealing with them
it is not safe to calculate that they are
stupid or needless of the welfare Of
their countrymen. The necessity of
tariff reform with its consequent re-
duction in the cost of living. and the
duty of the Democratic party to advo.
cate 1t has been fully demonstrated by
the action Of the people yesterday.
Their decision has been deliberately
made, and it is all the more significant
because they have voted Upon their
reason and Judgment, and because they
have proved that corruption is power
less as against their convictions.
"Of course, there is nothing for the
Democratic party to do but to push on
the battle at all times and in all places
on the lines which they have laid down,
that is to insist upon wise adjustment
of tariff taxation to the reasonable
needs of the Government, as opposed to
the plan which enriches favored class
at the expense of the masses of the peo-
pie. Until victory is won the question
OF tariff reform will not be settled and
the pledges and professions of the
Democratic party to tho people re-
deemed.
Our party has made an honest and
an earnest fight. 1t has planted itself
upon disinterested and unselhsh devo.
ton to the interests of the people. Its
absolute unity and harmony upon the
question OF tariff reform shows It's quick
recognition of true Democratic prin-
ciples, and its enthusiasm in cause
which involves the popular welfare.
Everywhere our people have done mag
nificently, and the harvest they have
gathered has bcea nobly earned"

who make ana unmake Congresses are

special legislation as that embodied in

Always popular in the West, where the
