The fact that large majority of

The fact that large majority Of
the young voters Of the country
are turning to the Democratic
party is causing the Republican
leaders much alarm. Harper's
Weekly Of Aug. 22d gives some
reasons why the Democratic party
of today attracts young men. 1t
says:
We alluded last week to the fact, which Mr..
Clarkson remarked last winter, that the tendency
of the young men in Massachusetts Is 10 the
Democratic party. Mr.. Clarkson thinks that
this tendency should be arrested by the news.

1t is maniCestly the part of wis
dom for the democratic party TO
have the national campaign Of next
year fought out on the issue Of
tariff reform. Since the delivery
of Mr.. Clcveland's famous message
the question has been fairly dis
cussed; and the people now have
a right understanding OF the eco
monte principle involved, This
being the case, a victory for greater
commercial freedom over prohibit
DRY high tariff taxation is a fore
gone conclusion. The sweeping
democratic victories i'll the con
grcssional elections last fall showed
how we'll the American people
could be trusted to render, after
due consideration, an intelligent
and righteous verdict in the matter
of federal taxation. Having been
50 badly defeated last year upon
the tariff issue squarely joined, it
is to be expected that the high
takers will endcavor to have some
other questionable silver qucs-
ton, for instance, made the most
prominent in the next campaign.
But the Democratic party should
set its face as flint against such a
movement Our leaders every
where should press the fight upon
the line OF tariff reform. In that
fight the opposition have been bad
ly routed, and tariff rcformcrs have
only to stand shoulder to shoulder
and press on to make the victory
complete, 1t is the wholesome
doctrine Of commercial freedom
that has given the house of repre-
rentativcs to the democrats by
such an overwhelming majority !;
and therefore the party ought to
stick closely to this doctrine
clear through the next canvass,
Let one educational campaign
be fought out before another one
is begun, The people having
freed their minds OF protection
sophestries, they will then make
short work of financial vagaries.
