unanimously condemned by the press
&C the country as the one just ended.
The public has sympathy for the work
ingman, but the public condemns VOL
ence. A way will yet be found to set
tie differences between employers and
employees without resorting to VOL
ence.
But his General Schofield's) revised
opinion is erroneous. The strength of
the United States is not the strength
of numbers and pure military force,
but of loyal and patriotic sentiment
If the federal troops depended on mum
bers 1t would be difficult to fix the limit
OF the army. 1t would take million
OF men to enforce law and order with
out the sustaining force of free public

General Schofeld is a true patriot,
but he looks at this matter from the
military standpoint The one thing
this country does not need is a large
standing army.
| When all is said, however, every in
telligent man must recognize the fact
that the settlement of the tariff ques-
| ton by the passage of some bill is of
! the first Importance to the industry of
the country. The existing uncertainty,
| proionging the commercial depression,
must be removed for the sake of the
whole people.-Boston Post Oem.).
The existing uncertainty is bad, but
lit would be worse to surrender to the
demands of the high tariff people The
people declared for free raw material
and a lower tariff.
Debs, Sovereign and other dema-
gogues, who have been misleading the
workmen of the country, and who, but
for the firmness and energy of Presi-
dent Cleveland, might have precipitat-
ed civil war, will try to show that
by the investigation they have gained
something for labor through the
strike; but they have obtained moth
ing that they could not have had with
out violent demonStra tions.-Philadel-
phia Ledger Rep).
They will do we'll if they succeed in
showing that their motives were real
ly to benefit the laboring man rather
than to show their power
1t used to be said that the twin relics
Iof barbarism were slavery and polyg-
amy. Both have been pretty we'll
stamped out, but it is under the aus
pieces of the Democratic party that the
old slave autocrats of the South muster
the whilom polygamous territory of
Utah into the Union.-N. Y. CONNER
cial Advertiser CRep).
1t is impossible for truly Republi-
can paper to be progressive paper.
The loyalty of no part Of the country
t.
and all the papers commenting on the
attitude of the South during the strike
acknowledged this. The people of Utah
will know how to regard this Repub-
lican slur cast on them.
1t is that in the operation of railroads
or other business enterprises requiring
the employment of many men with
varying but related functions there
should be an enforcible contract of en-
ployment, defining duties, fixing wages
and definitely setting forth the terms of
the mutual engagement: Under such
a contract no man could be discharged
or reduced in his wages without due
notice, nor could any quit without Civ
ing like notice-N. Y. World Oem).
Such an agreement between employ
ers and employees would certainly tend
to avoid friction and encourage mutual
confidence.
A protracted delay in the completion
of the bill would. work infinite harm 10
the industrial system of the country,
and the people need Strengthening
rather than enervating nostrums at
this time A succession of unpropl-
tious conditions, for which the Repub-
lican party is responsible, have follow
ed each other until the situation is al
most unfortunate. But with the new
tariff law in force, and the labor dis
turbances settled, it will not be long
until prosperity is humming it's merry
music in all sections of the country
and in every avenue of trade.-Chicago
Times Oem).
There should be little delay of the
tariff bill in conference and no surren-
der. The people demand relief and will
have it.
To the wisdom and patriotism of the
Conference committee the people must
now look not only for a judicious tariff
bill, which will give the country the
relief so urgently needed, but also the
prompt action which has become i'm
perative. The delay of the past has
been as inexcusable as it has been dis
astrous. 1t is to be hoped that it will
now be cut short-N. Y. Herald Qnd).
The hope of the people is now in the
wisdom of the Conference committee.
They, and they alone, can give that
immediate relief for which the country
has waited so long.
There is a general desire among the
MASSES of both parties that the meas
hn cd Of
other at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. The Democrats want it enacted
and the Republicans want it defeated,
but as the latter have no especial rea-
son to look for it's defeat they would
be glad to see it go through without
any unnecessary delay For this rea-
son anything like f1libustering on the
part of the Republican members of the
Conference committee will not meet the
favor of the rank and file of the organ
ization.-St Louis Globe Democrat
Rep).
The whole country wants the tariff
question settled. The only thing that
can cause delay in the realization of
the demands of the people will be fill
clustering on the part Of the Republic
ans.
Talk is cheap in a Democratic Con-
gress. Professor Wilson, chairman of
the Ways and Means committee of the
House, in favoring non-concurrence in
the Senate amendments ITO his tariff
BILL spoke of his demand for free raw
material and ad valorem duties as
fundamental principles of the Demo-
cratic party" Some people believe
that Wilson will stick by the "funda-
mental principles" of his party even if
that should defeat the mongrel tariff
bill-Mail and Express (Rep).
Talk is cheap, yes. This same talk
is what made free country. Now
what the Democrats want to do is to
