tective tariff. AT no time has it pro-
nounced in favor of free trade. It's posi-
ton was stated by the convention that
nominated Tilden. A minority of the
party held for d while to extreme protec-
ton, differing therein not one whit from
their Republican brethren. A vast treas
ury surplus compelled discussion. Under
the strong, clear leadership of President
Cleveland the Democratic party passed a
Tariff bill which largely increased the free
hstln desirable directions, and reduced the
lmposts On all the schedules. In the presi-
Dental election this policy was narrowly
rejected, and Mr.. Cleveland passed to pri-
Vate life. Two years later. the identical
question being in issue, the tariff position
OF Cleveland and the democracy is Endorsed
by tremendous majority, giving Congress
TO the Democratic party by sittings unpre-
cedented in number. AS the triumph of
tariff reform is not complete, and can not
pc made so until the Senate and the execu-
1--WE off1ce pass to the Democracy, another
great struggle on the same lines is neces-
sary IN 1892. The choice of leader is mar
rowed by the circumstances. 1t is obvious,
ton imperative.
Philadelphia Times: 1t was not expected

IS Senator HoAR on the force election
policy would hearken to the earnest protest
OF business men of all parties and sections !;
but will he not heed the emphatic admoni-
tions of Massachusetts,! He appealed to
his state to vindicate his poliny of force,
and the people of the Bay state, once Re-
publican by more than two thirds vote,
answered by the election of a Democratic
governor by many thousands, and by the
election of the first Democratic delegation
in Congress of modern times.
Even this revolutionary admonition of
Massachusetts has failed to impress Sen
ator HoAR, and now comes the emphatic
call OF Boston for halt in sectional mad :
ness. One year ago the Republicans
elected the mayor of Boston by 400 ma
lority; on Tuesday last, when Senator
HoAR was insolently defying the appeals of
patriotic craftsmanship for peace to revive
business confidence, the people of Boston
elected Democratic mayor by 1919 ma
lorlty and swept both branches OF the
municipal councils. Does Senator HoAR
hear.
