WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-When Lincoln was
President Congress was constantly dealing
with questions Of momentous importance in
which he necessarily took an absorbing inter-
est. Though understanding to tho fullest how
Congress should act. he never did or under
took to do anything that In the remotest de-
gree resembled dictation. Having presented
his views. he left Congress to act out it's own
judgment. Though sometimes Congress
manifested a disposition to act contrary to his
views. he never resorted to coercion to bring
either branch into harmony with himself.
The most he felt he had right to do was to
converse with individual members: and he
never declared in advance that should Con-
Gress pass measure he would veto 1t. He
might argue. reason. and try to persuade in
dividual members OF Congress. but he never
thought OF stronger means. II finally Con-
gress disagreed with him, it was rare. indeed.
that he did not acquiesce.
Though a man Of immense WILL Mr. Lincoln
SO seldom used 1t to extremes that an occasion
Of his quarreling with Congress is not re-
called. BY persuasive means he frequently
carried his points. When he found that i'm
practicable. he frequently resorted TO compro-
mise taking care to sacrifice as little as posi-
BILE Of what he set out 20 obtain.
The difference between Lincoln and Cleve-
land in these important respects Ia now re-
called most wildly.

No Such Bargain Can BE Made!

That is a very important statement which
is made by one Of our Washington corre-
spondents to the effect that the Republicans
in Congress are organizing among them
selves to defeat the silver purchase repeal.
unless Mr.. CLEVELAND and the Democrats
will agree to leave the MCKINLEY tariff
law undsturbed.
or course no such agreement will DO
made. and we applaud the obstinate and
honorable refusal OF Mr. CLEVELAND to en-
ter into any disgraccful contract OF the kind
Better have no legislation for any pur-
pose. than to buy one measure and one prin-
ciple by tho nefarious sacrifice Of another.
The people Of the country will know
how the case stands. and how they ought
to vote when the great question shall be
brought before them for final adjudication.

Of any other monarch who ever made SO many
public harangues as he makes. Whenever he
gets chance. he mounts the stump and rattles
away. He is dull speaker: he never bursts
into eloquence or out OF it: he does not seem
to have any original ideas: but he keeps peo-
pie thinking that he may at some time say
something OF importance.
In his speech at StrasbUrg on Saturday he
alleged that when q boy he sang songs about
Strasburg. and prayed that Strasburg might
again become German. q prayer which. as he
said. was answered. But he did not mako any
allusion to the fact that 1t was BISMARCK who
got Strasburg for him. In the time OF his grand
father. 1t 10 . curious thing that In none OF
his numerous speeches during the past four
years has he spoken gratefully Of the man

lation Of Germany and interested all the rest

WASHINGTON. Sept lions OF the greatest
OF tho great manufacturing magnates when
he had finished his talk before Chairman Will
bill for revenue only on protective principles
said privately some things for other ears than
Mr.. Wilson's. although he heard it. 1t was in
substance this:
1t Is given out. notably by tho PiHade'-
phid Ledger. that the action OF tho House on
the Silver Repeal bill has stimulated
business wonderfully and measurably re-
stored confidence: but tho delay OF tho Senate
to finish the work may undo it all. and a COL
lapse may follow the direct consequence
However this may really be. one other thing
wish to say, name ely, were Congress to pass the
solemn declaration that it would be uuwise to
disturb the present Tariff law for period OF two
or five years. and wero tho Pre- sdent to sign
declaration OF that kind, the country would
bound forward as 1t was never known to do
before, and the Senate might take its time to
pass the House Repeal bill. Another thing
wish to say. too, is this: Pass your Repeal bill
while you refuse to pass the aforesaid declara-
ton against disturbing the present tariff, and
follow it by passing some such tariff bill as the
Committee on Ways and Means are trying to
frame. and neither your Silver Repeal bill nor
any other salve Congress could apply would
save the country from financial and trade
prostration compared with which tho condi-
ton from which We are now emerging would
he prosperity itself. Give us either tariff for
revenue only or let the present tariff alone.

Adding Islander TO Robbery.

The Hon. CHARLES HENRY GRosvENoR. a
Republican Representative In Congress
from Ohio, conceives it to be humorous to
cffer Joint resolution declaring that lit
Is not the intention OF the Fifty-third Con-
Qress to make radical orimportant changes
In the tariff" and solemnly affirming what
here follows:
"Cougress will not undertake asweeping revision OF
she tArif laws. nor will 1t remove from American
products either Of the farm the mine or the shop tha
Protection which now stands between the American
producer and the foreign producer. and especially
Congress will not remove from products OF agricultural
industries the full measure OF protection now ahorded
bylaw. TO the end that wages may be maintained AZ
she present. rates and the producer be rewarded for his
labor and capital by adequate prices"
It is natural that protection should die
hard, but it might try to die with dignity.
Mr.. GRosvENoR's resolution is only one OF
many insolent ebullitionS coming from the
baffled spectators OF the people. Protec-
ZIONIST newspapers and politicians nave
been calling upon the Democrats in Con-
press and Mr.. CLEVELAND to write them
selves and the Democratic party down AS
asses and liars. tear up the commission
given them by the people. and promise to
maintain the spoliation which they nave
promised to destroy. II Mr. GRosrENoR's
resolution said in plain terms what it pre-
anmptuously implies. it would read:
-Resolrod That the American people are children and
idiots, who didn't know what they were doing when
they voted destroy protection aud to set up cons
sutionh tariff in its place
Is 1t not enough to rob the people without
slandering them!

FROM WASHING TON
The Repnni ouertion.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-For reasons that DO
not appear on the surface. the repeal Of tho
purchasing clause. except by q compromise, is
moro doubtful every day. Nothing is more
certain than that repeal could be carried
almost any day were Senators left to them
selves. 1t Is Mr.. Cleveland who prevents such
action. and some anti-repeal Democrats are
disposed to believe he does It moro from
characteristic stnbbornness than from any
probability In the case that something valu
able to the country would be sacrificed Hence
repeal is losing strength.
While Senator Cameron has at no time been
classed with the repealers. his coming ont
openly and above board against repeal. as he
has done. Is an evidence that Mr.. Cleveland Is
not conducting his cause so as to keep what
strength was disposed to go with him. At no
time has repeal had q prospect in the Sen-
ate. except by the aid OF q considerable
number Of Republican Senators. How many
there are besides Senator Cameron who
will join the anti-repealers Is not positively
known. 1t would be safe to conclude that no
would not be likely to 60 to the failing side
when there Is no good reason for his do
ing so. How many Republican Senators.
will abandon Mr.. Cleveland on account OF the
campaign he is making within tho House
against interests as vital. In their estimation.
as any related to repeal. Is an open question.
1t may be hard to hold Senator Quay for re-
peal In the face OF the war on the tariff. We're
he to leave the Administration plan In the
lurch he would not leave 1t alone.
Turn the question whichever way you will,
II will appear that Mr.. Cleveland forms an OBJ
staclo to repeal.
