1 IA SdlSlul SOb IJllSEs VI SleCGlOu Sld-
tistics gives in one of our exchanges
the result of his figuring on the last
Congressional campaign in the United
States, as follows: Democratic ma
jority over the Republicans 8O6, ,O72,
and Democratic majority over all
345,662. Whilst other issues were
involved in the contest, it is conceded
on all hands that the main issue was
high protective tariff vs.. tariff for
revenue only, and the result was as
stated above. As the field now ap-
pears, it would seem unnecessary for
the Democracy to look around for
any other national issue upon which
to make the race in 1892. With the
high protective tariff issue, which the
leaders of the Republican party pre-
tend to so fondIy cherish, we have
no doubt but that the tidal wave of
1890 will roll on with ten-fold more
force until 1892, when Democratic
President will surely be elected, un-
less in the meantime some unforeseen
misfortune or bad management should
befall the grand old party which has
always battled for the peoples cause
against oppression whatever form it
may assume.
