The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1890-05-15

UNQuHsTIoNABLY the ableat and
most influential Republican paper,
west of New York,ia the Chicago Trlbf
une, The Tribune 10 a paper plat
seems TO scent popular currents, and II
ia tryinQto maintain its hold upon tho
massea Of the party by keeping Ia line
with reason and Justice op'all economic
ana social questions, 10 is for this
10 laon that It wieldBgaueh u tremen'
doua lnauenpe,f IN the Tribune OF
Monday, May1aA we lind a very able
editorial on the Mckinley bill, The
editorial Is q concession that, II the
Mckinley bin should pass, the llepub'
lioan party would never win another
Naturalization, We quote on OK
tract from the Tribune editorial,
WAfter 1910 the Whlg party never won o
yletory when Il declared Itself In favor OF
higher tariff taxation, and Just IN the do
gree that II fell under the control OF those
whb favored using the taxing power
against the many and tor tho few II drove
IN lta members and lost popular support,
aud Was AT last completely wrecked, The
Republican party would quickly 20 on the
rocks la the same way " u was supposed
that perpetually Increased taxation on
necesharlea was 10 become iih policy No
amount Of monopoly ana trust elainor
against protesting Nepubllehnh ana no
artful use Of prOtectiOniat chtchswordh can
bamboozle Intelligent Republicans 40 10
The real meaning Of q bill 80 eonirlyed 40
10 Increase tariff rates on the wants OF the
peopie al time when the revenues are
lar ln excess OF the needs OF the Govern
ment, aud hence ID reduction IL the only
proper thing 10 consider"
In another place, the Tribune given
the Trust sharks, who evidently own q
majority OF the Ways and Means COM
mIttee, fair warning that, II the McIiin-
10y bin passes the Republican masses
will rebel, Here again we quote from
the Tribune editorials
"The MoKlneyltea, desiring not 10 re-
diee the revenue, hut ultimately 90 OK
pand ID, not 20 lower taxes ON the people
but 10 increase them, have hlt on tile plan
10 cut 00,mllion hole in tho revenues OF
the government by remitllng the sugar
duties, and add ten millions % II IN special
bountieh 20 Louisiana, then I'LL up the gap
by advancing old lnrlii hNeh much higher
on clothing and other necehhnriea OF HE.
Although the real necessity IN that OF ro-
dueIng revenue and lowering taxation,
tho matter has been 80 manipulated that
higher rates Of bounty andartlilelhl profit
are 10 be provided for few hundred In
terested individuals and favored monopo.
lies az the expense OF a largely Increased
cost Of living 10 the entire American peo-
pie, Yet would,be bosses and party
cranha think they can auppresa Tree
speech and criticism In tho Republican
party and crowd such a robber measure
through
The above Is not from u Confederate
Brlgadler, or from n Democrat, or o
rabble rouscr OF the opposition, or a
free trade communist, but ls the well
considered uttOranoes OF great Re
publican leader, whosees and feels that
IL 10 high time to stop this robbery by
aw and suppress the robbers, II the
Republican party Is 10 survive popular
Indignation, Again we quote q few
choice utterancoa from the Tribune
warning.
"Aooordng 10 this desperate doctrine
millions Of Republican voters must bo
read out Of the party, No state or county
Republican convention has advocated an
Increase OF tariff dutloa on nocceaaarioh
Of life, but II was supposed oyorywhoro
that the question was how 70 reduce thom
until the Mckinley committee reported
ila hill aud the attempt began 70 drnguon
II through. There are no party whips In
the United States who can silence Roc
publican criticism Of such measure as
the Mckinley bill, or Impose II on the
party 90 ombodylng essential Republican
doctrine,
