VINO, unlucKliy, owing 10 Lne. narrow |
Democratic majority in the Senate, have
the power to serve it, to force the
Democratic party to do for it precisely |
what the Republican majority did in |
1890, only in less degree.-N. Y. Times |
Oem.).
1t is a struggle against fraud and
favoriteism, of the masses against the
classes.
Governor Flower and Mckinley are
going to debate the tariff question. !

But German, Brice and Smith are
not members of the conference COM
mittee. They have no voice in deciding
what agreement the committee shall
make. That function belongs to Vest,
voorhees,, Jones and Harris, and in its
exercise those gentlemen are charged
to represent the Democratic majority
in the Senate, and not to do the bid
ding of German, Brice and Smith.
They can end the deadlock in an hour

1t is the duty of every man who can
to end the deadlock To continue it is

the injury of the whole country.
Representative Blairs resolution in
the House looking to an investigation

and polite. Ii is aimed at the whole
country The spirit OF the mob is not
confined entirely to the south 1t is
prevalent in the west and it is growing
in the north White-capping, tar-and-
feathering and even hanging at the
hands of mobs is not uncommon in the
states of the north and east.-N. Y

It would have been more accurate to
say the resolution was politics rather
than tpolitic."
Discussing the presidents course as
regards the tariff bill, the Wilmington,
Del, Morning News fRep), says:
1t points indirectly, at least, to a veto
! of the tariff if one should be passed
that is not in accord with the presi-
dent's ultimatum delivered to Chairman
| Wilson; and beyond that, it points to a
! possible denomination of President
Cleveland by the Democratic convention
of 1896. There can be no other reason
assigned for Mr.. Cleveland's course
that so perfectly answers all the ques-

This is beyond possibility. The
Democratic party is opposed to third

well as other Democrats knows this
Says the New York Recorder Rep.):
Silver must be restored to it's place
as part of the money of the Constitu-
| ton. Goldbug rule has brought ruin.
! Nothing truer was ever said, and the
surprising thing is that a Republican
paper should admit it when the Re
publican party killed silver.
Under Republican rule the national
debt was largely reduced month by
month and year by year, thus saving

Rep.).
When Mr.. Cleveland turned the gov
eminent over to General Harrison
there was 500, 100000 surplus in the
treasury. When General Harrison
turned it back to Mr., Cleveland, the

This is only August 6, so that if
settlement be reached within the next
few days the present Congress will
still be seven weeks ahead of the Reed
Congress in disposing of its. most i'm

Philadelphia Times Oem).
But the country expects the present
Congress to do better in all respects
than did the Reed Congress. The tariff
bill should have been in operation by
this time.
After the way he has been carica-

President Cleveland's message on
wheels an intentional and somewhat
fusty insult.-Chicago Times pem.).
| No one knows just what the con-
tents of that message are. The coun-
try's message to Waite would be the
same as Hamlets to Ophelia.
The Democratic plan, however, was
not to make a more perfect tariff, bas-
ed upon the protective principle, but to
make one which should in greater or
llesser degree ignore that principle
There is no mistakng the meaning of
the Chicago tariff plank, which de-
nounces protection as robbery.-Phiia-
delphia Ledger Rep).

pie of a tariff chiefly for revenue, and
to relieve the people of the onerous
burdens of the Mckinley law.
