THE local authorities in the several

the recent election should spare no effort

10 TARIFF COMMISSION.

The latest suggestion of Democratic
cowardice is for the appointmentSof
tariff commission to investigate and re-
port for the action of Congress. This
savors about as much of imbecility as of
cowardice. The tariff question has been
under discussion for many years. There
has been one tariff commission. and the
subject has been before many ways and
means committees. 1t has been thor
ouRhly ventilated by the press and
carefully considered by the people. No
commission can throw any additional
light on the principles or theory of
tariff legislation. Therefore. we repeat
the proposition for the appointment Ola
commission TO investigate the subject is
imbecile as we'll as cowardly.sgd eltsia =
What is needed is practical test and
trial of the Democratic doctrine of free
trade or tariff for revenue only. The
people have had twenty-five years
trial of protection. and it is universally
conceded that the country has prospered
and made great progress under it. In a
spirit of unrest or discomfort, and with
the aid of the solid South and the ig-
norance of Northern cities they have
decided in favor of change and have
put the Democratic party III power under
promise and pledge that it would re-
peal the Mckinley bill and put in prac-
teal operation the doctrine on which
they carried the election. Now let them
keep faith with the people. Let them
fulfill their promises and pledges or
stand before the country branded as
campaign liars and tricksters. No tariff
