Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1890-07-25

EX-SENATOR DWIGHT NJ. SABIN, of
Minnesota, is the last republican to declare
against the twin republican monstrosities,
the force bill and the Mckinley tariff BILL
Mr.. Sabin has always been good repub-
hcan, but he thinks the party leaders at
Washington have made a mistake. and he
does not hesitate to say 50. Mr.. Sabln
was chairman of the republican national
convention of 1884, which nominated
Blaine for president. Everywhere
have been, east and west, said Mr. Sabin,

to be particularly unfortunate TO introduce

bill at this late day, twenty-five years

few years. Looking at it from a purely
political standpoint, it seems unwlse for
the republicans tG pass a force bill, which
is certain to keep alive sectional hates and
bitterness. He did not believe that north
ern and western business men
had any sympathy with the
scheme whatever. Mr.. Sabin was
about as emphatic in criticism Of the tar
if bill, maintaining that it was especially
Objectionable to tbs farmers. In fact, "
raid he, $50 far as can Judge. the
Mckinley bill is not regarded in the west
as any improvement on the present tariff
laws. think our people, if they were
compelled to choose between the McKin-
ley bill and the present tariff would de-
eide in favor Of the latter

an admirable article to prove that Labor
