a few hundred dollars more or less
is mere bagatelle. But it does
fall on the wage Garner, who has
only slender income, and who at
the very best finds it hard to make
both ends meet.
Ifyou say that the actual addi-
ton to the price of articles is imper-
ceptible you are reminded of the old
Scotch proverb, money little
makes a mickle. .
You are, moreover, quite wrong
in your statement. The addition is
not imperceptible, but very serious.
The government should always
make prices as low as possible,
That is one of its most important
duties. Mr.. Lodges assertion that
when the neccssaries of life are
cheap, men are cheap is the drivel
of economic idioey.
Your republican Congress, by
means of the Mckinley bill, has
made it possible to charge more,
not for few things, but for every
thing. 1t has established the fash
ion of adding something to the price
of all articles in daily use. Sellers
readily adopt this fashion-small
blame to them, for they want as
large profits as the public will stand;
that's business-and consequently
the cost of running a small house
hold is very considerably increased.
The people declared by their vote
on November 4 that they will not
stand it. They regard the new
policy as oppressive and unneces-
sarily hard. Thirty-nine States
voted on the question, and that was
the general verdict.
All right. Now what is the plnin
duty of the republican representa-
tives at the next session of Con-
gress2 Why, to repeal the bill, OF
course. a
Ifthey attempt to enforce its pro-
visions whether we will or no, their
party will be out of the race in '92.
That is the long and the short of
the whole matter. Excuses, expla-
nation, rhetoric, oratory, buncombe
must be laid aside; the plain, simple
fact is the people don't like the bill,
and the party which passed it must
either recall it or step down and out.

the places visited was the Ensign

The Vote I'm West virginia.

The Democratic majority at the
last election in this State was nearly
nine thousand. Taking the major
tiles in the Congressional districts,
it was nearly ten thousand. There
was small falling off in the Dem.
ocratic vote as compared with the
vote in 'sS, and a large falling Off in
the Republican vote.
The Republicans are trying to
persuade themselves that if their
full vote had been polled the Demo.
cratic majority would have been nc
greater than in 'sS. There is some
little consolation in looking at il
that way, perhaps. But the most
reasonable conclusion is that there
were good many more Democrats
who did not vote than is represented
in the difference between the Demo
cratic vote of 'SS and the last cleo.

Well We suspect that there are two
reasons. The Republicans in Sep

the Northwestern delegations as
much as possible. The election re.
turns from this section have opened
their eyes; they want now to adopt

The above pyramid will convey
to the mind of the reader the ex-
tent of the victory won by the Dem
ocrats at the election bringing
about the greatest revolution known
to the history of the country. In
all sections of the country, north,
south, east, and west the people
seem to have been impelled as by a
single motive to enter a protest
against the actions of Reed, McKin-
ley & Co., with the result of giving
the democrats more than two thirds
majority in the Fifty Second Con-
gress and reducing the republican
majority in the Senate from four
teen to two. The protest, however,
did not end with the rebuke to the
Congressional representatives but

ocratic faith were chosen to admin

Ex-Congressman Collins, of Bos-

"Three months ago Reed and Nc.

heads; They simply disappear from
consideration. Ayers millions and
his Grand Army glamour could not
keep Michigan in line. 1t looks as

The next House, according to a
compilation made by the the clerk
of the present House, Republican,
will stand 222 Democrats, 90 Repub,
licans and II Alliance members,
This gives Democratic majority of
even 130 over the Republicans, or
147 counting the Alliance men as
Democrats. One member is to be
elected in Rhode Island, who will
probably be Democrat. Two dis
tricts are so close the result is doubt
full, but if they return Democrats
their majority, according to Demo
cratic figuring at the capital, will DO
161. This is by odds the largest
majority any party has had in Con-
gress since the organization of the
government. The Democrats will
have twenty-four majority over a
two thirds vote of the House, which
will allow them at any time to aus.
pend the rules and pass any measure
they desire. OF the IL Alliance
men elected, they are all Democrats
on the tariff questsion. Five. ALI
ance Congressman in Kansas, one
in Minnesota and two in Nebraska
were elected over both Democratic
