In a recent speech at Washing
ingtou, Pennsylvania, Major Mckinley Tins
paid his respects to the constitutional OBJ
lection which the Democratic party has
sought to raise against the tariff
But they say the tariff is fraud and
unconstitutional. Why, the first tarIf la~
was made by the men who framed the toii-
stitusion. Our fathers levied tariff. to raise
money to pay our debts, and TO promote
American industries. The first tariff law
was reported by James Madison, passed
the House unanimously and vas Endorsed by
George Washington. unconstitutional II

the Confederate states. Laughter. But
that instrument went down before the armies

the old system. Il Grover Cleveland

The London Times says Mr.. Cleve-
lands manifesto has less confident ring
than President iiarrison's on the tariff ques-
tons. He is too evidently afraid to assert
his policy with equal courage and clearness
His language is not easily reconclleti with
the broad principles laid down at Chicago.
Doubtless his contempt for the alarms OF
the protectionists is fully justified, but If he
is right WHY should free trade be treated as
bogy: There is no uncertain sound, how
ever. in his utterances on the currency
question
The London Standard thinks that the at

Guilty in expounding his own policy. Mr.
Harrison has the advantage of a sweeping

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
A Wis, Suggestion.
+ Portland Press.

The recommendation of Capt. G. B..
Hall, t. 5. A., that the system in vogue
in the Maine militia of electing the COM
manders, be abolished is undoubtedly a
good one 4 republican form of govern
ment is not adapted to military organiza
tons. because it presupposes responsibility
on the part of the elected to make their
administrations conform to the wishes of
the electors. whereas in the army admins
tration must conform to certain exact rules
which the rank and lie have no control of.
The effect of clecting commanders is to put
them under obligations to the majority of
ne men who compose their companies. and
this obligation is certain to prove en-
harrassing in matters of government and
discipline A commander who feels that
he is under obligations to his company for
his position can hardly hold it up
SO sterniy to strict performance of duty
as one who is under no such obligation.
Furthermore elections by the rank and file
are not so likely to turn on questions of fit
ness as on questions of popularity. The
man really the most competent to COM
mand is oftentimes rejected in favor of a
man far less competent who has about him
more of the elements of personal popular
ity 1t may be said that the reform sug
gested by Capt, Hall is in the line of that

ton of the constitutional amendment

Money With a fluctuating Value.

If YOU went from New York to Penn
sylyana YOUR money was discounted, and
vet this is what the Democratic party intends
to restore. We hal 1870 such banks be-
fore the war AMI in only 30 were their notes
received at par, and then only in the states
in which they were issued. Not only was
this money at discount, hut $50 of the
banks were broken and their notes were
worthless. Now we have money that is
good in every part of the world. for the

Il cannot believe that, with the expert
encc this country had under that system
which prevailed before the war, it will

During the war Congress put Il tax of
ten per cent on all state banks with notes
in circulation. The object was to drive
them out of existence. substituting for their
money national currency. There came in
their place greenbacks and national bank
notes 1t is proposed by the Democrats
