SHOWING UP TIE FORCE BILL.
Pm Address Before Southern Democrats in
New York-The Unconstitutionalfty,
Unwisdom and SectioDalism Of
the Proposed Measure
Strongly set Forth.
News and Courier.

News and Courier
The following extracts are take from
an address, one of the ablest on the sub
ject which has yet appeared, read before
the Association of Southern Democrats
in New York by W. J. Hardy. The
address made such an impression Oh
the society that at meeting held on
September IA last, ten thousand copies
were ordered for distribution:
ga particular reference to the mar
vellous facilities offered by the Act for
the perpetration Of frauds in elections
is needless, as the people are at this
stage concerned with the motives that
prompt the measure rather than the
detail of its methods.
Put in force throughout the United
States, this Act will place the elections,
State and Federal, under the direction
aud control of million autocrats, and
scatter upwards of s2O,000,oOo at each
election among practical politicians and
workers at the polls. And at the beck
of this mass of partisan ofice-holders
are the Federal troops, which fact, how
ever, adds no terror to the provisions of
the bill, for those who have had the
experience prefer the rule of the soldier
to that of the returning boards.
'sIti is claimed that the bill is sane;
toned by the letter of the Constitution,
but at best this claim is debatable, and,
OF the other hand, the spirit of the
Constitution inhibits it. From time
whereof the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary the regulation of
elections has been State prereogative,
and to want only to disturb custom
rooted in the sense and understanding
of the people is revolutionary. But it
is easier to find legal sanction for the
bill than to approve its wisdom or ex-
pediency. It implies that the people
are corrupt and incapable of conduct
ing their elections so as to impress their
own wishes; and displaces their Off
cials, chosen by them and answerable
to them, to substitute a cloud Of ire:
sponsible sub-appointees of the Presi-
dent Of the United States, who are
assembled to be of superior clay and
exalted above partnership.
'Said Speaker Reed, naively enough;
sIet us cut loose from State elections
and do our own registration, our own
| counting and our own certihcation;

unlimited fund to debauch unlimited
voters, which the force bill places at
their command. If they secure this Z
vote of continued victory as speaker
Reed calls it, their trusted mem will
have 'the necessary funds to distribute
FIVE dollar per diems without stint.
None will get away, all will vote the
Republican ticket for that prodigal
consideration; and the Hon. William
w. Dudley's hope will begratifed, that
'the country will pass into Republican
hands, never to leave it.
1.-THE capabilities of this new branch
of Federal patronage are suggested in
the fact that under the Federal super
visors' law 5000 Republican supervis-
ors' and II, 800 Republican deputy mar

the lower precincts Of New York at one
Presidential election. These mercena-
ries were actuated by thesingle mind, to
prevent Democrats from voting by fair
means or foul; and the chief supervisor,
who has become prominent feature
of elections in that city, is now wrapg-
ling over these 'spoils' with the Repub-
lican bosses Of the election districts, who
claim, with reason, that their followers
are as well entitled as his own to the
benefits of an Act passed for the profit
of the venal.

North to a realization Of the fact that,
while the chief burden of the measure
will fall upon the South, it is by no
means purely sectional matter-it
concerns the whole Union. In their
journals and in Congress the Republi-
cans have repeatedly urged that there
are plenty Of districts in the North

with her romantic career.
"Before the war she was only daugh-

often seen in the land of Dixie. She
had been educated in Paris, and had
aco uired all the graces which are sup
posed to accompany perfect education
in the fine arts. AS she was an heiress
she had many admirers, one Of whom
was q Southerner, while the other re-
sided in the North, having met the
accomplished girl in Paris. There was
hot race for her hand, but her heart
evidently inclined to the latter suitor,
who was graceful and talented and al
together a worthy young fellow. The
Southerner witnessed his rivals sue
cess with much chagrin, and when the
announcement of the engagement was
made was heard to remark that he
would kill his hated rival at the altar.

To lay with one hand the power
of the Government on the property
of the citizen, and with the other
to bestow it on favored individuals
to aid private enterprises and build
up private fortunes, is none the
less a robbery because it is done
under the forms Of law and is call
ed taxation. This is no legislation.
1t is decree under legislative
forms. Nor is it taxation. A "tax,"
says Webst er's Dictionary, ais a
rate or sum of money assessed on
the person or property of a citizen
by the Government for the use of
the nation or State" Taxes are
burdens or charges imposed by the
Legislature upon persons of prop
jerty to raise money for public pur-
purposes.
We have established, we think,
beyond cavil, that there can be no
lawful tax which is not laid for a
public purpose.

party, but it is believed that Judge
Rea's flop means that the Republi-
can party is doomed in this State.
Judge Rea has held many offices
under his party, and two years ago
stumped the State for his ticket.
The significant part of the affair is
that Judge Rea's conversion was
primarily brought about by Cleve-
lands pension vetoes. Speaking of
his change of heart, Judge Rea said
tonight: "There was so much talk
in Grand Army circles on the SUBJ

theories, and that the country will
say so at the coming election in un-

The Republican 'POssum Policy.
Courier Journal.l
Mr.. Whiteiaw Reid, who has so
much to say about irrelevant mat
ters in his letter of acceptance, has
barely a reference to what he call
ed an alleged F orce Bill. He falls
in with the present Republican
fashion of lodging this issue, in
lieu of which the party leaders are
making desperate attempt to
manufacture and substitute an i'm
possible "wild cat" currency issue.
1t was not until the present cam
paign that Mr.. Reid grew afraid to
openly advocate the Force bill. In
the fierce and most successful fight
which his party, led by President
Harrison, made before the last Con-
gress, to pass the Force bill, Mr..
Reid's paper, the New York 7ri-
6une, was the most uncompromis-
ing and radical advocate of that
measure. Indeed, that paper,
whose editor now seeks to dism So
the issue from the campaign, in
sisted that it was not only of more
Importance than the tariff question,
but was paramount to all other
questions. "The Elections bill"
the Tribune said, in urging the pas
sage of that measure, "carries with
it the assurance of future tariff bills
by the hundred"
That was as recently as August
10, 1890. Nothing has happened to
change Mr.. Reid's opinion as to the
Importance of the ELECTIONS bill"
1t has simply developed that this
measure makes most unpopular
campaign issue before the people,
Hence the concerted attempt to
side-track it until Republican sue
cess at the polls can be secured. In
which event it will again be brought
forth and pushed to passage.
And once law, the Republican
party believes it can laugh at pop
ular opinion and control future
elections indefinitely.

1.-THE contest between these inn
porters and the Government is a
very unequal one. Before It begins
they have received their goods
and sold them tDith the duties as
Liquiddted included IN the price,
and they are, of course, content to
wait indefinitely for possible re-
fund of duties in which they have
really no longer an interest, because
the consumer has already paid
them. This hoped-for refund, If re-
allied, is, as experience indicates,
sometimes literally divided with
third parties, who may be said with
truth to be more interested in the
contest with tho Government than
the importers themselves, who
must often be at IA luss to under
stand on what ground they are en-
titled to a recovery from the Gov
ernment. But the real Party Il, in
