ONE DEMOCRATS VIEWS.

To the Editor of the Eas'e.
In the mutations of politics, 1t has
come to pass, that Republicapism stands
Tor a high tariff, high enough TO pro-
hibit the importation of that class of
manufactured goods that are best in ac-
cord with the mechanical genius of our
people and in line with our surround
mgs. Thus our coal and iron ore, indi-
cate that we ought to use our own re-
sources in the manufacture of iron and
steel. Combining iron and steel with
the timber of our forests, the farming
machinery and vehicles result. And 50
on through the long list. il Is Republi-
canism 10 protect, even its prohibition.
1t is also Repuhlicanism to agree upon
special or compromise tariffs with GER
tain countries who have tariffs so ar
ranged as to be prohibitive of certain
manufactures which we could otherwise
export and supply TO them. And thus
the Blaine id a or reciprocal tariffs have
been arranged. The effort IF this article
is to state facts fairly, leaving TO the in
telligent reader TO decide for himself
what his preference will be. He can be,
trusted TO make il wisely. On the other
hand it has come tc be Democratic doc
directly or Indirectly lie prohibited from
buying or selling in any market the
world over, and that a low taTiIf-"for

| On this question the two great parties
have been long divided. and Whine 1t is
admitted that rcd hot arguments far
nlSh themselves. as il were. both pro and
con, they viii not be here INDUCED. Two
original ideas only, have in the last fiftv
years been developed on the subject.
One was that of General Hancock when
he declared the tariff question a local is
sue. and the other the reciprocity Of
Blaine. Louisiana Is today proving
Hancock right ahd the concensus Of
opinion the country over agrees with
Blaine.
Tor thirty years the Republican idea
of the tariff has prevailed until two
years ago, when the result Of the cleo
ton seemed 10 indicate the people
