THE REAL IssUE.
a Task TO which the Democratic Party IL
Pledged.

There is no issue before the Ameri-
can people to-day. none that can be
brought before them. comparable In
taxation shall be for the benefit Of all.
that is, TO raise revenue to pay the nec-
essary expenses Of the government. or
whether it shall be primarily levied for
the purpose of fostering monopolies
and advancing the interests Of classes
that compose but an insignificant frac-
ton Of the people.
1t was upon this leading issue that
the ever-memorable campaign of 1890
was fought and won. On that as the
paramount question the people Of the
United States pronounced against the
party of the administration by ma
jority Of nearly million.
There was time when there was
serious division in the democratic party
upon this question. That time is now
past. The party stands upon the ques-
ton OF taxation for revenue, and not to
foster monopolies, united and invinci-

A republican president is still in the

win other victories before the tariff
can be reformed in the interest Of the
people who lear its burdens. The ex-
perience OF last year points unerringly
TO the way in .~hich those victories are

line Of tariff reform, and the citadel OF
the enemy will be in our possession.
Keep the supreme issue well to the
front. Upon this. while we are harmo-
NOUS, our enemies are divided. To re-
wise the tariff in the interest Of the
masses Of the people Is task great
enough for any party TO undertake. 1t

The Report Of an Exploring Party Of
Naval Oncers that Recently Visited the
the site Of the Old city of Isabella.
Founded BY Columbus, Received at the
bureau III American Republics nv The
Game Not Worth the Candle.
wAsHrxeTox, May 2s.-The report Of
an exploring party Of naval officers
that recently visited the site Of the an
cient city Of isabella. founded by Col
umbus. has been received at the bureau
Of American republics Under instruc-
tions from the G mmander-in-chief Of
the United States naval forces on the
north Atlantic station. Com. Convers of
the United States steamer Enterprise
detailed Lieut. G. II. Colvocarcsscs and
DIR. NJ. II. Simons and Naval Cadet NJ
NJ. Taylor to proceed from Puerto
Plata. San Domingo, the site Of the
settlement, for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the general condition and ex-
tent Of the ruins and Of reporting as to
the desirability Of removing any por-
ton Of them for exhibition at the
Worlds fair in 1898.
The exploring party visited the ruins
on May IA accompanied by a guide.
They found evidences Of settlement
covering two acres Of ground. but be-
yond traces Of stone walls and pile Of
masonry few feet high, that was
pointed out as the remains Of fort.
the party discovered little Of interest.
In his report Lieut. Colvocaresses
says that the settlement was made by
Columbus in 1925. but fever. dis
content and mutiny brought about
depopulation in two years 1T is a
historical fact" says the lieutenant.
shat Isabella was not the first attempt
at settlement made by Columbus,
IIayti having been partially settled by
him during his first voyage"
Concerning relics for exhibition the
exploring party has this 70 say:

opinion that there T. nothing that y 81 sur

hans the few blocks % cut limestone: and
there a. nothing that would convey an ldea
or the architecture and workmanship ar the
buildings erected BY thr Jfst settlers. II
does not appear to n that any extended ex-
cavatIons would be rewarded with better re-
suits. Isabella was occupied for only about
two years by the original settlers The
