fic Thinks the sooner the Work of Re.
storing to the People What HAS Seen
Taken From Them is Commenced, the
Better.
In speaking, Friday, Of the ques-
ton Of Congress Immediately acting
upon the question of tariff reform, as
exempliiied by Tuesdays election, Hon.
Thomas Il. Bayard said:
"The sooner the work of restoring the
stolen property to its owners is CON.
menced the better" he said 1.-THE trea-,
sury yearns for its just revenues and
the pilfcring Of the pockets of the farm
'ers and workingmen should cease. The
work of demolishing the Mckinley
tariff can not be too quickly or too
actively commenced. The measures
placing wool, tin-platc, cotton ties and
binding Irvine on the free list at the
late session of the Democratic House
are now pigeon.holed by the Senate
finance committee and before the Christ
mas holidays the Democratic senators
should compel the committee to report
these bills back to the Senate and obtain
test vote as to whether the demands Of
the American people for relief shall be
obeyed. 1t is believed that the combined
votes of tho Democrats and the low
tariff Republicans can now compel the
adoption Of these measures of relief
without delay and President Harrison
will hardly venture to obstruct.
THE PRESIDENTS INDUSTRIOUS POWER.
An effort should also promptly be
made to withdraw from the Executive
the monstrous power he now holds
under the Mckinley law (under the
pretense of reciprocity TO place hides,
sugar, tea and coffee on the dutiable list
whenever and for so long time as he

who would not suffer British parlia-
ment to impose triiling duty Oh tea
can not be too emphatic in repeating the
same power grossly expanded when
exercised under the sole discretion of
one man. The present law is blot
upon legislation,
STRIKE THE ABUSES SEPARATELY.
THE repeal Of the cruel blood tax on
quinine and its beneficent results may
instruct our Congress in the wisdom Of
striking down separately each abuse as
it is clearly disclosed, without postpon-
ing execution until the countless SEIZED.
ules Of the Mckinley law can be
grouped and graded. We do not need
