Democrats I'm n Dilemma.

The election of Cleveland places
him and the Democratic party in an
embarrassing dilemma. The party
which supports him is pledged by its
platform TO repeal the Mckinley bill
and TO enact tariff for revenue only.
1t will not do this, because it dare
not do it il it cOuld-and could not
do it If it dare. But during the next
four years it will have to face it's
broken pledges with I'll that section
Of the party that were fooled into be-
lieving them sincere. 1t will make,
as usual, noisy parade Of seeming to
revise the tariff. IL it shall under
take to do so with any tariff scheme
which seeks to subvert the protec-
ton which the Mckinley bill affords
to American industries, the attempt
will only have the effect Of demon
strating the value and Importance Of
that measure, and will arouse popu-
lar feeling in defense OF that policy
which could be awakened so effectu-
ally in no other way. 10 is easy
enough to deal in generaiities of de-
nunciation. But tariff measure is
necessarily a matter OF specific detail,
and the moment the Democratic
party is forced to abandon its ground
of negative criticism and frame an
actual tariff policy upon the lines its
leaders have been urging; the mo-
ment, in other words, it begins its
threatened assault upon the Ameri-
can industries that have been or are
being built up under the Republican
protective policy, that moment will
seal its doom with the people Of this
country.
So that is the dilemma in which
the election Of Cleveland places the
Democratic party. Ii IL does moth
ing with the tariff it will lie damned
for its broken pledges. If it does
anything with the tariff it must
strike at the foundation of the great
industrial enterprises which so large
ly contribute to the national pros
perity, and will be damned still
worse for menacing the country or
inflicting upon it reactionary policy
Of industrial and commercial disas-
.er. The election of Cleveland in
