as their champion, should allow itself to
be classed with the opponents of orga-

CERTAIN protectionists find comfort
in the election of Crisp as Speaker of
the House, because he defeated Mills,
the leader of tariff reform. They do
not seem to a tach much weight to
his declaration in his speech on taking
the chair, when he said 'that there
must be no step backward in tariff
reform, nor to his remarks on the
Mckinley bill in the Fifty-frst Con
gress when he made the following
observations: "No amount of Jug
Cling, no amount of sophistry, no
amount of theory will prevent the
people from understanding what this
protective system really is; that its
effect is to take from one class to give
to another, to take from the mass to
give to a class; and when they do
understand it they will repudiate its
authors"

In the annual election of officers at
the Union League Of Philadelphia the

laid down by Pennsylvania new
ballot reform law. This organization
is composed Of the leading Republi-
can politicians of the city, men who
are supposed to be in every way we'll
qualified to vote correctly under
method which several of lhem helped
to make. When the votes were count
ed it was found that over four per
cent. We're illegal, being improperly
marked or having such defects as to
cause them to be thrown out. Printed
instructions accompanied the tickets
used by the voters, and the numerous
errors made by such an intelligent
body naturally caused people to doubt
the success of this mis- named reform,
which goes into effect after March l,
1892. When it is remembered that q
large percentage of the voters OF
PENNSYLVANIA are either illiterate OF
know so little about the Baker bill il
is certain that more than four per
cent. of the ballots cast at the general
elections will be illegal. Had the
Legislature passed the bill for the
genuine Australian system, instead Of
a bungled party measure, voting
would be simplifed and understood
by all.
