What hypocrites the Democrats in Con-
gress must be, judged by their votes on
the sugar schedule Here is one article on
which the tariff Is a real tax, because we
consume about ten times as much of it as
we produce, and consequently import
most of what we use. And 1t brings us In
$50, 100000 of revenue year, and the
Democrats have pretended to be yearning
to reduce the surplus revenue for these two
years. They have also wept crocodile
tears for the poor work'ngmen, all OF
whom use sugar. Moreover, there is big
trust in this article of sugar. And yet
when Republican Congress brings for
ward bill to reduce the revenue by max
ing sugar free of duty and cheapening 1t
two cents pound to every working man,
woman and child from Passamaquoddy to
San Diego, from Key West to Sitka, the
Democrats vote solidly against it. What
do workingmeu think of such hypocrisy
as that2--N. Y. Press.

rHE RACE QUESTION.
Republican Plans to Force Nationa
Negro Issue on the Country

| Republlcan Plans to Force IA National
Negro Issue on the Country
Recent events indicate clearly that
the most influential men in the Repub-
lican party have determined to create a
National race issue and force it on the
country-if possible for the leading IS
sue of the campaign Of 1892. 1t by no
means follows that there will be such
an issue, for the sober patriotism OF the
country will steadily resist its creation
Should the attempt succeed, however,
the results will be far-reaching, and IN
anv event unfortunate. Nothing could
he less desirable than to divide the
country into two great National parties
for and against the negro. The unwllI-
ingness of the Democratic party to ac-
cept such an issue and to take any attl-
tude of hostility towards the negro has
thus far served only to encourage the
Republican leaders to become more
demonstrative in insisting that there IS
a National negro issue which the Demo-
Gratis must meet.
We have no doubt that if the Repub'
lican party could succeed in its vicious
purpose it would be hopelcssly demor'
allied. If it forced an issue of white
against black, putting itself forward as
an "Afro-American" party, it would be
defeated so thoroughly that there would
not be enough left of it to rally But
the party winning on such an issue
would be equally demoralized by its
success. The American system of con
stitutional government, sapped by civil
war in the last generation, could hard
" stand the strain of such a struggle IN
this. What began in malice would end
in chaos.
No negro issue really exists in ou'
National politics, and it is work OF eX'
treme difficulty to manufacture one.
But the work has been persisted in for
many years, and misdirected effort to
create it has been redoubled as the
Democratic party has gained strength
on questions of taxation and the admin
istration of Government. The success
of the Republican attempt is not i'm
possible, and it may be that instead OF
outgrowing the politics of the civil war,
as it seemed likely we would from 1850
to 1888, we can only escape them by
greater convulsions.-S Louis Re"

AN IOWA OPINION.
Extracte from Governor 3oies' Patriotic
Inaugural Address.

Inaugural AdufcsS'
Any system of taxation the ERECT OF
which is to take from one class and give
to another is necessarily partial and
UNEQUAL distribution of public burdens.
If such a system is necessary because
none can be devised that is absolutely
fair to all classes, it is apparent its in
eoualities should be confined to the low
est practical limit. This can be done by
confining it's operation to the one pur-
pose of raising absolutely necessary rev.
enue and in no other way.
1t is probably true that the burdens OF
an exorbitant protective tariff fall more
heavily upon Iowa than upon most OF
her sister States. Such tariff is neces-
sarily in conflict with the best interests
of the one great industry which is the
chief hope and sustenance of her peo-
pie. 1t increases the cost of nearly
every thing we buy and diminishes the
price of almost every thing we sell. 1t
obstructs our own ports against the i'm
portation of products we are compelled
to use and foreign ports against those
we produce and must send abroad. We
have followed this delusion of pro-
tective tariff until, with granaries over
flowing, with focks and herds that man
can scarcely number, we are still poor,
because by artificial means the profits OF
our own great industry have been de-
pressed below their normal condition
that those of another might be elevated
above its own.
Let it be understood that the people
of this State demand cheap clothing,
cheap fuel, cheap implements of labor
in short, cheap necessaries. That they are
not interested in cheap whisky or cheap
tobacco; and that if compelled to take
the latter cheap and the former dear
they will surely resent the injury, and
our labor will not be in vain.
