time to trump Senator Hilrs bs~t csrd. The

Senator Hills position is that Of sasacious
and far-seelnR politician. He has biszed the
way through the wilderness In which the Dem
ocrats in Congress have entaneled themselves
in following the spotted heller Of Populism.

Hilrs speech 10 strong. II lifts him up.
Events and circumstances have united to give

Senator Hilrs speech has special value be-
Il
what he means and who will vote In support
Of his opiniona lie lie not like President
Cleveland who writes commonly to deceive
public opinion. nor like Senator Voorhees, who
talks for any cause as II he were paid attor-

mont OF purpose and belief. but at least you
know that you have come against the genuine
convictions OF man. not some mere pretence.

Senator Hill delivered By far the ablest and
most Democratic speech made In Congress- on
the so-called Tariff bill. in uncom prom isins
opposition to the rider OF q proposed income
tax on its back.

The speech OF Senator Hill carried with II
tno ring OF true democracy. His arraignment
OF the faults OF the national Administration
carried with II no spits nor malice He gave
full credit whore credit was due. and In this he
disappointed those who hoped to SEQ unjust
and indiscriminats denunc citation.
Irer he Roese.tsr Hraid
In taking q stand positively and infIexibly
against the income tax Senator Hill uuques-
tionably voices the sentiment OF opposition of
New York. The Democracy made no mention
OF an income tax In its last national platform.
and It did not appear as an issue in the cam
paign. But the Populists did demand an in
come tax. and the Senator Justly criticises the
trainers Of the Wilson bill for going to the
vagrant and wild-eyed third party for one OF
Its devices for raising revenue
