The Republican party owes not a

The Republican party owes not
little of its great success to the splen-
did organization which it has main
tanned during long series of years
there is nothing like presenting an
unbroken front to the enemy-5ut f
late there seems to be screw or two
loose in the party machine, and there
are ominous gaps in the front rank.
Republican Senators have delivered
speeches in open Senate, which if
ever delivered at all, should have
been only spoken in secret caucus.
Ne shall not assume the response
ibility of placing the blame for such
"a state of affairs upon any one man
or set of men. but we do think that
it is a state of affairs which might
have been avoided, and which must
be avoided in the future, if the party
is to repeat in the future its great
victories of the past. What right
have we to expect harmony in the
rank aud file of the party when our
leaders. or the men whom we have a
right to look up to as leaders, are
playing at SKIES and sevens. 1t there
is any measure pending before Con-
gress upon which the party cannot
be united, let it be abandoned. 1892
is too near for Republicans to in
dulge themselves in forming or en-.
couraging the formation of party
factions. We are for the success of
the Republican party and the great
principles upon which it is founded.
and we place that success high above
any narticuiar measure.

THAT the third party movement

party which has been the moving
spirit in every step of national prog
ress made during the last quarter
century, or whether you will. be-
cause CT some petty disagreement on
matters of minor importance ally
yourself with the Democratic party,
which hasn't a principle above OBJ

A Revenue Tariff and a Protective
Tariff.

Attention has been called to the
fact that granuIated sugar was sold
in Philadelphia last week. for April
delivery at Al cents per pound, While
the price for immediate delivery was
u cents. The law putting raw sugar
on the free list becomes operative
April 1. The difference of price in
the two cases throws some light on
the question whether the domestic
consumer or the foreign producer
pays the Tariff tax.-LOuisville Cou.
rier-Journal, Dec. 16.
1t is really too bad to find paper
which is supposed to have an unus-
ual amount of genius and ability be.
hind it resOrting to the dishonest
sophisms of the ordinary "reform"
demagogue. The Courier Journal
knows that there has never been any
controversy as to who paid the tariff
on sugar. 1t is purely revenue
duty. since America production has
never been able 10 develop suffi.
GENTLY to supply more than one.tenth
of the domestic consumption. Hence
the duty has always been added to
the price to the consumer.
1t is an example of the kind of
duties the performer" would substi-
tute for our protective tariff. Hardly
a protectionist speech has been made
in favor of the new bill. which did
not call attention to the fact that the
tariff on sugar was tax on the PEG.
pie, and for this reason sugar was
put on the free list. That sugar
should fall in price nearly two cents
with the removal CT the duth only
proves that revenue tariff, the kind
the Courier-JourndL advocates. is, as
protectionists always maintained it
was, paid by the consumer. There
is no analogy between this revenue
tax and a protective tariff. under
which the domestic production is
adequate to supply domestic con.
sumption. American Economist.
