coming into comprtiiiol with the
products of American labor, there
should be duties levied equal to the diff
ference between wages ut home and
abroad. The Cleveland managers in
the platform presented to the convention
with his conuivance and assent said:
when custom house taxation is levied
upon al articles of any kind produced
In this country, the difference between
the cost here and abroad, where such
difference exists, fully measures any pos
ejble benefits to labor. In making re-
duction in taxes 1t is not proposed to in
jure any domestic industries but rather
to promote their healthy growth. These
planlss are as nearly alike as two peas.
The Cleveland party not only aligned it
self with the Republican party in favor
of bauk rag-money and monometallism,
bit jumped aboard the same platform
on the tariff. 1t would have been a
great blessing to the country if the Re
publicans had taken out patent right on
their platform after it had been adopted
at Minneapolis. This would have SIM
plifed matters by eliminating the Cleve-
lanlites from the canvass and by max
ing the issue on those great leading
questions between two great parties.

doctrine that there is no constitutional
warranty for any tariff laid for purposes
other than revenue was work of mere
supererogation. It was good deed,
well intended, but not at all needed in
attestation of the orthodoxy of his own
faith, while it was utterly futile in
shaping the policy of the Cleveland
party. II was virtually and very adroit
ly upturned by Mr.. Cleveland in his
Madison Square Garden speech, and the
New York Times of July 18th, which is
one Of the leading organs OF the Clevo-
landjtes, asserts that 1t does not repre-
sent the party views which it declares
are fully euunciated by the Mills bill
and says "the Mills bill of 1888,
representing the ripest thought and
the legislative intention Of the
party was a protective tariff bill.
With it's average duty of AZ per cent. on
all dutiable imports it could properly be
called high tariff bill" and then closes
the argument in sublime outburst of
Mugwump faith and devotion by the
solemn declaration that "Grover Neve-
land is not only the party candidate, but
it's platform. the declaration Of its prin-
ciples, the definition Of its purposes.
Cleveland, not Watterson, represents
the tariff policy of the Cleveland party,
and that policy is protection, restricted,
however, to the manufacturers. 1t was
prevalent superstitous belief of the
ancient Romans that no city could be
taken or destroyed till its tutelar gods
had abandoned it, and hence their first
care was to evoke the gods of the be-
sieged city to forsake it by promising
them superior temples and festivals and
a more respectful worship. 1t is to be
feared that IL the Clevelandites, in their
pious attempt to capture the Republican
party platform, have failed in this devo-
tional act of evocation. The gods of
unequal tariff taxation, of bank rag
money and monometellism will not come
over to their side, in which case they
tion for their pains, and will learn when
too late that they have alienated the
affections of the people in their vain at
tempt to win the favor of the Republi-
can tutelary deities.
Income Tax.
Now for the first time in the whole
history of our constitutional govern
ment has great political party firmly
planted itself in defense Of the sacred
doctrine Of just and equal taxation. 1t
IL doctrine fully rs sacred rs that for
which our revolutionary ancestors con-
tended, which demanded that there
should be no taxation without represen-
