TARIFF 'sREFORMERS'' FEAR TO
ATTACK THE MCKINLEY LAW.

American Economist: If in
November of 1890 any one had dared
to predict a situation in Congress like
the present, he would have been over
whelmed with scorn. This Congress
had been chosen, we were assured, to
wipe out the new tariff, and its men,
bers were just longing for the day
that would bring them together for
its destruction. Was not Senator
PETER going without stockings until
he could buy pair Of English make
that had paid no duty? Was not
Mr.. Mills whetting his knife for the
slaughter of the offensive bit of pro-
tectionist legislation, with another
mills Bill' in his big pocket to put
into its place? Were not the Even
ing Post and the Times to be the con-
fidential advisers of the free trade
Congress soon to assemble to plague
the Harrison Administration? and
we're not the Republican members Of
the Senate ready for any tariff COM
promise that might secure them a
little favor with their outraged con-
stituents ? Would even Mr.. Harrison
have the audacity to stand up against
the thunders Of the free-trade Jupi-
ter to be annihilated politically for
his apdacity?
Quantum mutatus ab lilo! What
a change has come over the spirit IF
the dream! The mugwump looks
around for a hole to hide himself; the
protectionist walks abroad with Sc
renity and, tina. sense of being the
master of the situation. The spirit Of
Samual J. Randall has awakened
again in the Democratic party itself.
And this is because the true aud final
opinion of the American people has
been making itself felt with such dis
tinctness that the politicians area ware
oft. From the first the protectiouists
showed that faith in the nations good
sense which is prophetic Of victory.
They we're no more to be turned from
their course than was Abraham
Lincoln by one Of the adverse cleo
tons which for a time disheartened
the weak Of faith during the progress
of war, when such men as Franklin
Pierce and Fernando Wood seemed to
find large bodies Of voters behind
hem. Like Lincoln, they had faith
in the good sence Of "the plain
people, and they just went
ahead with the work which seemed
given them to do.-Prof. R. E.
Thompson in the Irish World, Feb:

Almost every town has more or less
loafers who seem to exist OF air-at

that loafing is more economical than
trying to make an honest supportp 1T

weeks, yes even months of precious
time: for no man can be q frst-cass
