The DEMOCRAT is no rainbow-chaser
nor does it even inventory unmatched

The reasons for this faith are easily
given. There is mighty revolution go
ing on IN public sentiment upon the tariff
question. The people of this state, like
their brethren in all the northwestern
states, are tired of being nisrepresented

slavery feeling Of the north, the Mckinley
bill will be TO the moderate tariff views of
the west. 1t will kindle a smouldering
sentiment into a burning fame. This
flame will melt away the crust )f party
prejudice and the shackles of party bond
