The fight is on. The presidential
campaign is here. 1t IS lot very bois-
teroas. but there is deep feeling.
The inclination is to make the tariff
the bone of contention. 1t is the same
old bone. Snp, Ose We settle it next
November. We have settled it two or
tree times. Well, suppose we settle
it again. The fac. is, the tariff is a
convenient question for the parties to
fight over. But what OF the financial
question? What Of the tax question
What of the question of the election of
/ President aud Senators by the people ?
What about the question Of comrell-

Or even think ahout. Indeed, the man
