If the Major could have been induced
by tariff reformers to have made twenty
speechcs in Vermont it is safe to say that
it would have gone Democratic.
1t is curious fact that the farmers
and laborers of this country, tax burdened
and hari pressed as they are, will not
consent to shift their taxes upon the poor
foreigner, and there is no suTer sign that
there is yet left something OF that Ameri-
can manhood and independence that
made them as unwilling to pay Englaud's
taxes in 1776, as they are now to have
Eu9 land pay their taxes. Justice, no
more and no less, is about their size and
Mckinley cannot change the tit by APP
peanng to their selfish instincts by ask
ing them to tax the helpless foreigner
that is providing they believe that his
scheme will work. Mckinley is the
ONLY stumper that is entirely satisfactory
to both parties. He should be given
double pay and asked to made two
speeches day until November.

An Example of Tariff Reform.

McKineyism is atrocious, but what
would the Democrats do in the way Of
reform should they attain power2 The
question is sometimes ask led in good faith
by Republicans weaned of the Republi-
can policy of high tariff.
During the first session of the present
Congress Democratic House passed
among other bills amendatory of the
Mckinley law one which, if there had
been concurrence of Republican Senate
and approval by Republican Executive,
would have put binding twine upon the
free list. The tariff laid by Mckinley
ism upon binding twine affects every
raiser of a crop of cereals, for binding
twine is now employed necessarily in
connection with improved machinery
for moving and reaping. That tariff
was laid and is maintained by Mckinley
ism for no other purpose in this world
than to enable what is now known as
the cordage trust to manufacture this
necessary article and make its own price
thereon, enrichipo itself but compelling
tribute from nearly 100000 agricul
protection which Democracy describes
as fraudulent 1t is protection which
fosters moaop1iv, aad, while benetiting
a few persons relatively who are engaged
in the manufacture of binding twlne, as
well as all articles of like character. i'm.
poses burden upon millions of the peo.
Pile of the United States.
A Democratic House sought to put
binding twine upon the free list in order
that the monopoly now existing oy
reason of tariff taxation upon bindin :
twine and articles of like character
might be destroyed by free competition.
The cordage trust notoriously exists. In
the expectation that the Attorney Gen.
eral of Mr.. Harrison's cabinet would as.
sail it in the courts a Republican organ,
desiring that he should have full glory
for the proceeding, indiscreetly pre-
sented all the facts, and though the
Sherman law is said to be aimed at the
trusts aud so describes itself, and though
the Executive has maze some show oil
commencing prosecution under that law
against such alleged combinations as the
whisky trust, no hand mas been lifted
against this atrocous monopoly. Tne
tribute continues to be exacted fron
every field of wnsat, and rye, and oats
all over this broad land. Democracy de-
sired to put an end to such fraudulent
tariff legislation, and having no other
power than the power of the House 1t
passed this bill repeating the tax on
twine, but the Republicans said "No;
this tax shall be maintained," and
though they were not frank enough to
go further and say at shall be main
tanned in the interests of this cordage
trust" yet such is the fact
This single Illustration will suffice to
indicate the direction which Democratic
tariff legislation would take. Wherever
the tariff operates to form trust Its
protection will be withdrawn. Wherever
taxes may be taken from the necessities
of existence it will be done. The aim
OF Democracy will be to lay a tariff not
for the benefit oil the corda9c trLSt nor
the LUMBER barons, but for the purposes
of revenue only. 1t is the purpose oi tne
Democracy so to shape tarlf legislation
that Government shalt not be protccting
Somebody at tue expense of Everybody
Chicago Times.

moon on one evening this week had on rts face

Last night it was the center of o brilliant

THE REPORTED COALITION,
What Representative simpson Thinks the

What Representative simpson Thinks the
Peoples Party and Democrats CanAccomplish
The dispatch from Kansas announcing q
coalition between the democrats and the
peoples party in that state for the election
next fall has excited considerable interest at
the Capitol. The impression among a great
many is that a coalition between the demo-
Gratis and peoples party in those state where
the Farmers Alliance movement is strong
might have very important influence upon
the presidential election. Speaking with STAB
reporter this afternoon Representative Jerry
Simpson said that be did not know whether
or not the statements in the dispatch we're
true, but If they were the coalition would not
be confined to Kansas alone but would extend to
Nebraska, the two Dakotas, Minnesota and posi-
bly, Iowa. There is some doubt about Iowa. il is
thought chiefly because the democrats fought
SO strongly there that they might not want to
enter into combination. Mr.. Simpson said
that he thought the peoples party and
the democrats together could carry
Kansas by go 900 and they could also carry Ne
braska, the two Dakotas and Minnesota This he
said, would throw the election of President
into the House Of Representatives. He added
that hc thought the democrats might lose one
or two Of the southern states.
