WILL ThEY BE WARNED.

Neither peaceful nor bloody revolutions
are ever gentle or subject to control.
The people are patient till aroused by
injustice or BY oppression. when man s
conservatism becomes the badge Of
treaohery ard calmness an invitation to
a violent death.
Tie remedies that an incensed and out
ragged people chooss are always sudden
and violent. They strike ole fell blow
at something tangible and do not await
the slow corrective measures OF legal and
orderly procedure
When the French people became sick
with the feeble despotism Of silly old
Louis XVI. they sent him to the guillo-
tine and destroyed the bAstile. When the
Cincinnati jail was filed with murderers
and il had become impossible TO convict
them, when juries were packed ard the
courts were organized TO protect the
guilty, the msddened people burned the
Court House and destroyed two million
dollars worth Of property When snarch.
istic speeches beams common, and
threats Of arson and death were frequent
and fearful the people ofchioago demanded
that the anarchists should be hung.
When the bosses Of Pittsburg were heed
less TO the cries Of the impoverished
laborers. the people rose In 1877 and in
the frenzy of starvation destroyed seven
million dollars worth Of property.
II is not unreasonable to argue from
these and many similar facts, that when
The people become thoroughly aroused
against the injustice aud the robbery Of
the tariff law, they will not stop to
modify 1t with gentle degrees Of reduc-
tions; they will reverse the entire system
they will wipe out the protective
tariff.
Il is not violent prophecy that when
the-Feople become thoroughly aroused to
the gigantic frauds that are psrpetrated
in the Pension department they will
not stop TO consider the case of the
worthy, honest cripple, but they will
simply recall every pension act on the

pIscREpITsp STATESMEN.

Among the political philosop hers OF
the modern Republican school,
no one stands higher, no one has
exercised more influence in shaping
the policy Of his party than Speaker
Reed, hence what he has to say OF the
causes OF the recent disaster deserves st.
tention ON that account il not because o.
its intrinsic merits.
In commenting calmly on the situation
after the b eat OF the campaign and cleo
ton Is over, Mr.. Reed ascribes the defeat
Of the Republicans to three casues: The
manufacturers, the drummers and the
women.
The manufacturers for the sake Of a
temporary advantage" increased prices
the drummers who were Intentionally
or unintentionally the missionaries to
preach Democratic docsrine;' the women
who went home and told their hus-
bands and fathers, and their stories had a
tremendous effect on the ballot box"
Now it seems that being philosophers
aud statesmen the Republicans Of Con-
gresa might have known that the manu-
iaoturers would increase prices whenever
they got the chance, that drummers
would be sure to talk about such an
event and that the women would be Ger
tain to tell their husbands AMI fathers
why the market money would no I 20 as
far as il went before,
II they knew these things and still
passed the bill which would preoipitate
high prices, start the wicked drummers
ont as Democratic missionaries and give
the women command Of the ballot box
why did they pass the billg II they did
not know that these effects would follow
then they are not either philosophers OF
statesmen.
They might have known that the Ne
Kinley bill would have the effects It has
had because the Democrats told them that
the bin was a wicked and unjust scheme
to raise prices. and even Secretary
Blaine got excited and said that the Nc
Kinley bill was infamous.
Now, what is the fsctG
Did the statesmen believe that the
Mckinley bill would have these effects
aud still pass it under the Reed rules
fearful that debate would jeapordize It's
successS
II so what sort of statesmen are theyY
If they did not know these things even
after they were warned by the Democrats
and by their own beloved Blaine, who
declared that II the Mckinley bill was
passed be would not accept the nomi-
nation Of the party for 1889 IL It were
brought to him on silver platter, hen
sgain they are not statesmen.
In any case, taking any view, possible.
the Republicans appear as poor philoso
piers and discredited statesmen bv
Speaker Reeds own admissions.
If the Reed rules. the wnseating Of
Democrats, the seating of Republicans
and negroes not elected; the admission Of
those new states, the Force bill, the Raum
Investigation farce. and the Mckinley
bill had not the effect of dlscreditiug the
Republicans as leaders, as philosophers,
as honest men, as intelligent men and ss
Statesmen, then the fact that they passed
bill which defeated their party would
have bsen sufficient to discredit them.
