Nevertheless, Nir. I;Irison's message
ss lot wholly without interest. lie Ce-
votes seyvr..l para graphs 10 The tariff
Guceti.,n. anu approaches Tie subject with
a clip Oh his shoulder. He draws Uc-
meIaoy.s Iictogr, c!de&voring CT one ard
tie same canvas e. portray the beauties
Of protection - millionaire manufacture

OF Which lie whole people VIII share The
benefits Ne Doubt Nj Harrison under
rtal.;!s Tie situation. but lie doesn't ac-
cept ne result. lie seems TO think that
tie democrats. # ley carry out Their
promises VII sweep away tie Whole
tariff auti leave tie WaGe-eaT ard the
Industries Of tie country fat.
But We must aiIow something for the
alin.ue Of a defc2te,! PARTISAN. Ills argu-
nents are The result 0f lis desires. lie
wo...d he CAD 10 see the democratic par
ty engage in legislation damaging 10 the
pusiucSs ara iHllisi rial interests Of The
country ami q Itself 50 that his OWE cor
rrlt organization may cone II ard cnJoy
rs il were the usy!fguct. But we can as
sure Nh Harrison mai he is doomed TO
disappointment. III" democratic party
has 10 interests apart from those Of tie
pe0p.e C tic country, aud It IS more IL
tereste5! il lie welfare Of the wage
canes ard TIE struggling poor than he
republican party has ever shown Itself
20 BE. The democrats come 70 restore
equity ana egUaIi;y AID not 20 promote
and Ierpetu;.te inequality and injustice.
M harrison outlines very clearly the
programme II tie republicans. They will
fight il oUJ 81 the u,G lines. They VIII
have the Mckinley law or nothing. lie
las also Outlined The attitude Of tie re
publican senate That body VIII not aid
ihe picscu; congress 20 dispatch any Of
Sic tariff bills. or to forward The work Of
tariff reform lie suggests that iegisla-
Eon of that Kind lie Ioft 10 the new con
gTess THIS IS good democratic sus-
Eceiicn. and We venture 70 follow il mp
will another. We suggest that Mr.. EaY-
Tisor beg lis party not to steal The sen
ate tut 20 give lie democrats 4 chance 20
show up what tariff refoTn really means.
TIE president has discovered that some
very serious charges pf election frauds
have been made against the republicans,
and he goes 20 far as 10 nope that both
parties viii take The matter ep and dis-
pose Of i; 50 as it, preserve the parity
Of tie ballot. He makes 10 outright
all,.sion to the force iii, which IS not
Singular considering tie verdict Of the
people. Nevertheless. lie shows that he
would net be avcrse to il # the republic
ELS were to continue 70 hold office.
The only other point Of special interest
10 his message, is his a4lusion TO the i'm
Tortance Of tho Nicaragua canal project
He advises congress to assist the enter
prise, and We think NJ. Harlisons sug
Eestion is & good ore
We have OILY this further comment
te make GA the message. and it is this
that considering tie fact that it is the
last annual message Mr.. Harrison will
ever make 10 congress, it is a remarkably
Gull document
