A PRETENTIous PARTY.
Democratic Incapacity for Intellisens
| TenrsIaffou.

Legislation
Almost as soon as the votes cast at
the presidential and congressional
elections in 1892 had been counted the
democratic newspapers which had adj
vocated the radical tariff reform to
which the democratic party was
pledged by the Chicago platform be-
gan urging President-elect Cleveland
to call an extra session of congress rs
soon as he should assume Office.
Such papers as the New York Times,
Boston Herald. Chicago Herald and
Louisville Cou-ier-Journal insisted
that the people had voted for tariff
reform. and it was the duty of the
democrats to give it to them as soon
as possible. There was and could be
no excuse for delay. they said Moth
ing stood in the way of the passage of
bill which would wipe out the Nc
Kinley law if Mr.. Cleveland would
only convene congress in special ses-
sion and give the democratic lawmak-
ers a chance.
These radical free trade organs in
sisted that the democrats knew exact
" what they wanted They had dis
cussed the proposed reform for years.
1t would not be necessary to even ap-
point a ways and means committee to
consider the bill Just as soon as
congress met the bill would be ready.
and it could be disposed of in both
branches inside of month. That
was what the molders of democratic
opinion thought In the fall of 1892
They assumed to believe that the dem
ocratic members of the Fifty-third
congress were being consumed by de-
sire to lift the burdens of tariff taxa
ton" from the backs of the people.
Mr.. Cleveland did call a special ses-
sion of congress, but not for the pur-
pose of considering tariff bill. The
subject of tariff reform was not even
taken up at that session The COM
mittee on ways and means was ap-
pointed. however, and it had sue
ceeded in formulating bill before the
in December. The work was done in
n cellar by the light of dark lantern.
1t was entirely the work of southern
democrats. The republicans were not
permitted to assist in its creation, and
the people who were interested in the
subject were given but brief hearings.
The democrats had everything their
own way. and yet it required about
three months to get that bill through
the house.
Then the measure went to the SEN
ate, where it was torn to pieces in the

At its bottom he discovered the de-
scent which led to the arena and hav-

interests of the various trusts, which
demanded consideration. Four hun
dred amendments were made to the
house bill, and it was finally passed.
after remaining In the hands of the
senate more than four months. Now
the two branches of congress are
in q deadlock over the two bills The
president has found it necessary to in
ject himself into the controversy. and
it is doubtful IL the democrats will
succeed. after all, in agreeing upon a
bill which will please all factions Of
the democratic party and all the special
and sectional interests which the dem
ocrats are inclined to favor.
From all this it appears to be plain
that the democrats do not know what
they want. Furthermore, it is appar-
ent that they haven't much Of an idea
what the tariff reform, about which
they have talked since 1854, is like.
People who had supposed that the de-
sire to smash protection represented a
fixed and settled democratic policy
will be compelled to admit that they
were mistaken Present events at
Washington lead TO the conclusion
that the democrats advocated tariff re-
form simply for the purpose of array
ing one man against another and of
winning votes for the democracy. and
when they had won a victory upon
that issue they found themselves ut
terIy unable to formulate and carry
out the policy they had advocated
The democrats have succeeded in
demonstrating their incapacity when
entrusted with power, and they have
fully proved that the democracy Is a
party of false pretenses- They have
accomplished nothing more--Cleve-

LITTLE TO DO.
Congress Won't Be Bothered
With The "Popgun" Bills.
Sugar Question Laid Aside-It Might
Endanger Regular Appropriations.
BIZ The Associated Press.

wAsHINGTog, Nov a. - Preparations
ore in progress at the Capitol for the reas-
sembling of congress, and the usual an
nual cleaning and furnishing is being at
tended to. Some OF the members of the
house appropriation committee arc already
here
The rooms which are in course OF prep
nration at the treasury department will be
ready for the committees In a few days,
so that two or three OF the regular ap-
preparation bills may be we'll advanced be-
Tore congress assemblies.
In the face of the verdict at the recent
elections, the house will hardly be disposed
10 intimate anything on tariff and coin
age and In the senate the t'popgun" bills
sent over by the house a few days prior to
the adjournment OF the last session are
not likely to be disturbed on the calendar
The Sugar Question.
IL was the intention OF the friends Of the
bills, after the adjournment of congress,
60 take them up at an early day after con-
Cress had conyened and endeavor to pass
them, especially the one relating TO free
sugar Judging from the conversation of
the senators who favor this measure, they
do not seem disposed now 10 make the at
tempt, as 10 would be mere waste Of time,
for the reason that the Republicans would
not permit them 20 be brought to vote.
They feel rssurcd that the Republicans
would adopt dIlntory tactics and resort to
filibustering, regardless of consequences
Such a contest might endaneor the pas
sage of the regular appropriations and
make an extra session Of the Fifty-fourth
congress necessary in case those bills
should fail. This course the Democrats in
the senate and house may be relied upon
toavoid
There are some corrections which ought
to be made In the Wilson tariff act, but
nothing is likely to be attempted that will
not receive theapproval OF the Republicans
in tho senate. Tho paragraph authorizing
the withdrawal OF alcohol without pay.
mont OF tax when such withdrawal Is IN
tended for use In arts and manufactures,
and which, 10 was found could not be ex-
ecuted, is one Of the imperfectlons Of the
law that the secretary OF fhe treasury
thinks should receive the attention of con
gress.
The discriminating duty against refined
sugar from Germany should also receive
early attention. 1t is 10 be feared this
will not be corrected, for the reason that
the attempt would precipitate the old con-
troyersy over the general question OF sugar
duties and tho Sugar trust. Beyond the
passage OF the appropriation bills 1t Is
pretty safe to predict that nothing Of great
public concern will be attempted.
