THE TARIFF ISSUE.

The robber tariff must go. and advices
from Washington justify the hope that
the day of its going is at hand.-St. JC-
seph Gazette.
Let Republicans jubiIate over their
victories, let Democrats keep their
promises and revise the tariff, and we'll
all be happy yet.-Toledo Bee.
On the conyening of congress in De-
cember the tariff reform promised to
the suffering people of this country VIII
be carried into effect.-Bufalo Times.
If the tariff were known to be stable
and CONTINUOUS instead of being open to
capricous notifications year afier year,
the result could not fail to be of sub
stantlal benefit. Washington Post.
1t must be admitted that the results
of the elections in some quarters look
little as though OH the tariff question
sixty million people cherish sixty mill
ion different ideaS.-NeW York Teie-
gram.
No achievement can count for more in
Democracy's glorious cause than the
presentation of tariff regime which IN
every point shall be a manifest and no.

Boston Globe.
The Democratic party has not been
invited to take>any steps backward, but
has rather been admoniShed to 90 on
with greater zeal and energy 10 redeem
its pledges to the peOple.-LOuisyilIe
COurierJOurnal.
We still hear that the Democratic
pledges on tariff must be kept, but there
are no signs that the administration is
breaking its neck in mad effort to pull
veriZe anything but civil service reform.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Let us have no recrimination-no re-
proofs. The thing to do now is to plant
ourselves SQuareiy on the platform and
aid the president and congress in the
work OF redeeming the pledges Of the
party.-Atlanta Constitution.
Let the Democratic congress work to-
gether harmoGiously in support of the
administration, TO the end that the tariff
bill may be promptly passed, and the
Democratic pledges be redeemed and
Democratic principles be vindicated -
Kansas City Times.
There will be no reckless hacking
of the tariff laws. Common sense will
prevail among the Democratic mem
bers OF the ways and means committee
as we'll as among the members of both
houses. There can be reform in the
tariff without ruin, and it will be accom-
plished.- Milwaukee Times.
The new tariff bill will probably pass
early next summer. unless it should en-
counter extraordinary obstruction in the
senate, which is not likely. When
passed, the law will be the paramount
issue in the elections for congress in
1894, unless the Republicans should
prudently consent to give the measurea a
fair trlal.-Philadeiphia Record.
The only way to effect reform worth
having, and to secure prolonged ascend
ancy to the party of reform. is to adhere
strictly to the doctrine OF the Demo-
cratic platform that no taxes, tariff or
excise should be laid for any other pur-
pose than to raise needed revenue, and
that it is essentially unjust for govern
ment TO promote the Interests OF any
class or section by means of taxes, or in
any other Way.-Chicago Herald.
The revision of the tariff cannot be as
thorough as it ought to be for the rea-
son that the same congress which en-
acted the present tariff took pains to in
crease the expenditures of tile govern
ment and to exhaust the surplus then
in the treasury for the express purpose
of making large revenue necessary
and thus hampering the reduction of
duties.-Pbsindelphia Times.
