THE JULY WIDE AWAKE

Is a good number for hammock and
vcrauda reading for old and young, as
some OF the tempting titles show.
One of the interesting features is an
illustrated article concerning n famous

Grasshopper," namely, the big gilded
creature which forms the Faneuil Hall
weather-vane, and is written by Luz
cinda J. Gregg and Elizabeth Browne
Mcpherson, the latter descendant of
Hawthorne's Browne; it gives portraits
of the Grasshopper and of Peter Faneuil,
and views of the three Faneuil Halls.
Other interesting illustrated articles
are Amy Robsart's Embroidery, and
the Gates of Warwick" and PUSSY in
Private Life" by Eleanor Lewis; no.
table mention of notable cats of notable
people. There are two illustrated
stories, specially good reading for the
Helen A. IIawley, and ''The Rogues'
Path" by James Mckay, the latter a
historical tale of two pluclly children.
The serials are of goodly length: Five

pose they should ignore entirely the
question of tariff and discuss finance,
land, transportation and other live
questions, what would be the result?
Can either party stand discussion of
those questions? Or have they a record
touching them that they can success
fully defend? The alliance believes
and demands reduction of
tariff on the necessaries, and
that all revenue should be reduced
to the needs of government, econom-
ically administered, but it will not,
neither can it be driven to consider that
question only as subordinate to num-
Der of others. No matter what poll
ticians may do or say, the alliance is
determined to have finance, land and
transportation discussed and settled in
preference to all other economic ques-
tions. This is the condition at present
1t is evident that some new alignment
on economic principles is imminent in
the near future, or rapid and radical
concessions must be made. This latter

MOLE The BEARINGS.

The People Can Hope For No Relief From
n Campaign In which the Tariff Is the
only Issue.
1t is always proper and many times
necessary for those interested in polit-
ical as well as nautical affairs to take
bearings for the purpose of ascertain
ing their true position in regard to i'm
portant factors which may enter into
their future progress 1t is just rs I'M
safe for the citizen to blindly follow
one course, unmindful or careless of
the changed conditions which time and
intelligence have wrought, as it would
be for the mariner to shape his direc-
ton and then chain the rudder, leaving
the resultof stranding on the sandbars,
going to pieces on the rocks, or reach
ing open water as matter of pure ac-
cident or chance. In every campaign
since 1872 the tariff has been the lead
ing issue to the exclusion of nearly all
others. Efforts are again being made
to have the campaign of 1892 a repeti-
ton of this character. Is such a course
fair to the people, and can the old par
ties afford to continue it are questions
which the sagacious of either party
should consider carefully. During the
past twenty years of tariff discussion
the people have grown poorer and their
burden of Indebtedness has grown
larger. Neither the force of argument
nor the result of experience has settled
the questions or decided definitely to
the satisfaction of the ir terested as to
what is really the proper course to pur-
sue. In fact, as an economic question
it is no nearer than it was century

ago. 1t would be very difficult just
now for anyone to clearly define what
constitutes republican protection to
home industry or democratic tariff re-
form. The people have discovered
that this tariff contention is to a
large extent like the beating of drums
and blowing of horns to attract
attention, while other legislative meas
urcs are being enacted. Following up
this discovery they have found that
whatever faults may lie with the tariff,
there are other important factors which
experience and information enable
them to know positively contribute to
their distressed and unhappy condition.
These factors and demand for their
removal have been plainly set forth in
the demands of the alliance and the
platform of the peoples party. The
situation summed up is about as fol-
lows: The republican party is defend
ing the doctrine of protection and ig-
noring ver7thing else, while the dem
ocratic party is advocating tariff re-
form and straddling all other ques-
tions, In opposition to both is
the peoples party demanding re-
forms in economic conditions which
the old parties ignore and neglect The
strength of both the old parties lies in
the partisanism of its members and not
their devotion to principle. 1t is the
love of party and the strength of party
ties that bind them together, and not
fealty to the doctrines of free trade or
protection. The question for politicians
to consider is how much longer will
party bonds withstand the present eX-
IRENE tension? Is it probable that
partisanism can be depended on as
against Intelligence and real desire to
better conditions? In Kansas last fall
the republican party started out on a
campaign of tariff and bloody shirt
As result the people refused
to attend their meetings, and focked
by thousands to listen to alliance and
Independent speakers discuss the liv-
ing questions of financial and other re-
forms. Does any one doubt, if the
democratic leaders in Mississippi had
confined their speeches to the questions
of free trade and the force bill and ig-
nored the sub-treasury plan and other
ulllduCC IlidU IilC odLlC COhhl-
tons would have been repeated? Had
it been done Senator George and his
adherents would have met with the
same fate that overlook ex-senator
Ingalls, and his friends. 1t is no longer
a theory that can be con-
tinued with fine-spun illusions that
confronts the politician, but a con-
dition grounded and buttressed in
facts that threaten theirvery existence.
What they may say or do should be
measured by the exigeney of the occa-
sion, and not by apparent candor or
earnestness. In view of this the duty
of each seems perfectly plain A gen.

scientious, intelligent and fearless con-
clusion, backed up by honesty aad con-
tinuity of purpose. Such a reckoning
would avoid the quicksands and shoals,
the rock and breakers aud lead
on to safety and quiet
harbor. VIII not the intelli-
gent independent producers of
this country begin such an investiga-
ton? Would 70 not be entirely proper
to say they had already begun, and
that evidences of such an effort could
be seen on every hand? Should such a
course he undertaken, which of the
three parties now before the public
would be the beneficiary? Would the
republican party gain through thor
~ugh discussion of the tariff? Could
it bring over to its membership any
that now hold to the doctrine of
tariff reform? Or could it induce the
alliance or the peoples party to
once more trust its financial
policy? These questions answer them
selves; it would be an impossible un-
dertaking. How would such an effort
result with democracy? Could it bring
to its ranks any considerable number
of those who now hold opposite views
by continued contest over the tariff?
Would republicans in sufficient number
desert their party to cut any figure in
tho result of the coming national cam
paign? No one believes it possible. 1t
would be another drawn battle as
in the past, and as such would best
serve the interests of the party lead
ers. Suppose again strong third
