their duty to force the fighting all along
the line. They do not need to ask for
quarter; they should grant none. They
are assured of the support and encour-
agement or vast majority of the peo-
pie in every well-directed effort towards
lessening the burdens of taxation, and
can afford TO maintain an undaunted
front. In the house their task will be
comparatively easy one. They can
check dilatory debate and defeat fill
clustering. In the senate their task will
be more difficult, but the leader there is
in earnest sympathy with them. There
is no taint of lack of sincerity in this
cause adhering to Senator Voorhees,.
as there was during the silver debate.
He has always been a radical on the
subject of tariff taxation, and he will
use his best endeavors to secure prompt
action. Let US hope that all proper
means will be employed to that end. If
all opponents of protection are united
in common effort to secure speedy
action. the fears engendered by recent
rumors will be dissipated, and the
dawning of the day of emancipation
from the thraldom of the protected tariff
robbery may not be far distant,

NEED OF uNIrY

There seems TO be disposition among
those having the management of the
pew tariff bill to make haste Slowly.
Consideration of the measure will not
begin in the house until after the holi-
day recess. and it will probably be the
middle of January before the debate
has fairly begun. How long it will last
omniScience alone can tell.
The Republicans announce that they
will offer no factious opposition to the
passage of the bill. They will endeavor
to secure amendments which they deem
proper, and, failing in this, will permit
its passage. This assurance would be
gratifying if 1t were worthy Of credence.
But, unfortunately. opinions differ as
to what "factiOus opposition" consists
of. The silver senators resented the
accusation of being factious in their op-
position, and yet they consumed the
time of the senate for more than two
months in wsarisome discussions in
tended only to serve the purposes OF
delay. There are many more opponents
of tariff revision than there were of
those averse to silver legislation. If
the same tactics are pursued in the tar
iff discussion that characterized the de-
bate on silver. no action could possibly
be taken within a year unless the rules
of the senate were so amended as to
permit of closure. As yet there seems
to be no disposition on the part of the
senators to cut loose from their tradi :
tions, absurd though they are. 1t would
be regarded as undignified to be mod
ern: frivolous to cast aside the moth
eaten "reminiscences of the past and
conform to the necessities of the pres.
ent. Ii there is one thing that the av-
erage senator doteS On more than an
other, it is something that smells of the
must Of antiquity. The-more pungent
the odor, the more worm-eaten the text
ure, the higher it stands in their regard.
Anything that is modern, cleanly and
brightly FURNISHED is treated as a sense
less innovation that is deserving of
condemnation.
The delay in urging consideration of
the tariff bill is fraught with danger.

EXIT, THE SEED HuMBua.

Somewhere under the seriousness and
dignity which Republican papers pre-
fer to call his ponderosity there must be
fund of humor in the presidents
makeup which he keeps fairly well in
hand, but which he gives US glimpses of
once IN a while. Usually it is in some
speech or letter. but it broke away and
crept into his message when he came to
talk about the department of agricult-
ure and its abnormal function of dis
tributing seeds.
Some sixty years ago some congress
man, anxious to vindicate his official
existence, secured a modest appropria-
ton of $4,000. which was to be ex-
pended by the secretary OF the interior
in getting seeds of plants and fruits and
grain whose culture in this country
might be deemed desirable, and which,
domesticated here. might add to theifood
products of the nation both for con-
sumption and for export. There may
have been latent in his mind a con-
seriousness that too much was being
done for the manufacturers, aud that
The farmers should have something, but
whether this thought was in the germ
of the seed business it soon got there by
incubation or infection. and, once
domiciled, it grew and thriyed as Justify
as any other of the infants. The APP
propriations increased annually, and
with them grew the need of more ma
chinery, which developed into the
bureau and then into a full-fedged
department of agriculture, whose chief

the cabinet gathered to sit in solemn
conclave over the affairs of state.
