A WEAK ARGUMENT.

Ii is only natural that the NV Eng
land Tariff League should seek 10 give
some explanation OF the recent emphatic
diaapproval OF its theories. bat it was
hardly expected it would put forward
such weak aud silly contention as that
the verdictUf ths people was due tn in
sufficiency OF their education on the
tariff question.
A year ago. when Democratic tidal
wave swept over the country. it was
hailed rs a victory for tariff reform and
tho Now England league, with other
similar organizations. declared the result
to be due entirely to the fact that the
people had been thoroughly educated
OH the tariff issue How then can il be
reasonably asasrted at this time that
want Of knowledge was the cause OF
the recent overturn. Surely if year
ago the voters Of the country were, as
the tariff reformers said they were. well
informed on the question is not their
information at this time broader and
more accurate? 7?
That is certainly the reasonable view
OF the matter Moreover, it is 10 this
larger knowledge that the results of the
elections OF week ago must be at
attributed. The peop,e are quick TO
perceive "a mistake aud take the
first opportunity to correct it. "A
year ago they were deceived by spe-
cious arguments and by palpable
Misrepresentation. Very soon after the
Democrats obtained control of the exc
utive and Legislative branches of the
government they began TO understand
the extent to which they had been mis-
led Business stagnation took the place
of prosperity, mills and workshops were
closed, and honest toilers brought to the
verge of starvation because of lack of
employment. This was the kind of edu-
cation which led the voters to declare,
as they did week ago, for the preserva-
ton of protection.

have as yet but just began
TO show themselves. They know
that the distress will be far more acute
with the passage Of each month. They
know that the only hope OF better things
lies in the return TO power of the party
that made the good times of last year
possible, and that can guarantee the
continuance Of the tariff policy without
which there would be no prosperity.
Knowing the condition, and the
remedy for the condition, it cannot be
doubted that the good sense of the voters
will impel them to begiu the work Of
overthrowing their enemies at the i'm
pending city election.
"Well begun is half done." the saying
is; and the election OF the Republican
city ticket will be the good beginning Of
the utter rout OF the Democracy IN
Rhode Island, which will be continued
at the state election in April and finished
at the congressional election year from
now.

There will be several changes in the

council primaries of the Republicans.
unless all the signs now apparent fail.
Some Of the changes win be caused by
the voluntary retirement OF present
incumbents, and some will be on ac-
count Of desire of the voters for a
change in their representation at city
hall. There is no specific charge that
any Republican member of the board
has been derelict in duty, or has not TO
the best of his ability guided and
guarded the interests of the city. The
causes that dictate the changes are such
as are bound TO operate TO change the
personnel of any body.
In one or two instances. perhaps,
there is some ground to believe that the
voters feel that they have not been fair
ly treated by the aldermen they elected.

been 50 obstructive and has exerted it
self to turn the business of the board
into the hands of a small and not over
scrupulous clique.
The special effort at the primaries

The Philadelphia Ledger says that
''the plain inference is that there will
be no radical disturbance Of the tariff,
such as would deprive it of its protective
principle. but that, on the con rary, the
Democrats will try to restore business
prosperity by conservative course, as
the only means whereby the party can
DO reformed, so as to be in position to
retain its hold on the house of repre-
seatatives, the senate and the presi-
dency."
The Ledger has been the mouthpiece
for the president when he desired to
give the public some information that
he might in the future wish to dlsavow,
and it is fair to assume that he now
wants the country to understand that
he is not favorable to the tariff program
of the Democratic party.
Such flop is eminently Cleveland
esque, but it will not serve. The coun-
try has become thoroughly sick of the
man, the party, the lack OF policy, the
greed for Office, the deception, the fraud,
the Uriah Heepism, the self-stultifica-
tion, the piratical methods it has been
experiencing for the past few months,
and il is firmly determined to have no
more to do with the Democrats or the
man in the White House, who is ready
TO turn his coat any day to be allowed
