long time past, insisted upon being vac

opera spoiled by the introduction of its
chief ingredient so freely into his every

Some of the most deliberate lying

now indulged in by the Democratic

prejudice against the new tariff bill.
Democratic paperspersist in saying that

been some restrictive tariff suddenly
taken of Of fzlsehood and SANDER,

The Democrats are playing a desper-
ate game. They have ventured their
all on one throw of the dice. They
have attacked the Mckinley tariff with
all their well disciplined forces of
fslsehood, prejudice, misrepresentation
and fraud. They know that the Re
publican party must stand or fall with
that tariff law. They know that the
good effects of ii can be realized only
IN time, while the first effect of II is a
disarrsngement OF prices and trade re-
lations. These little tlurries they bave
determined to magnify into whirl-
winds. They hope to sweep the people
away with them III torrent of passion
and prejudice. They are afraid of the
peoples "sober second thought" and
their plan is to keep up such a din and
confusion in the peoples ears that they
cannot "hear themselves think" 1t is
desperate chance, stsked wholly on
lies and prcjudices. Even if the Demo
Gratis should WIN victory 1t would
avail them nothing. The people would
see through the fraud before another
election, and spew out the Democracy
in utter disgust. If they fail in their
desperate attempt, they are indeed
lost, for their shams and illusions will
stand revealed. Victory or defeat Is
all one TO the Democracy this year, so
far as the final results are concerned.
1t is Impossible for party to thrive on
popular prejudices, for the people soon
become educated beyond them.
