The Minoritr Renort.

Ex-Speaker Reed has practically
written the minority report on the
Wilson tariff bill. In quite long
dissertation at the beginning of the
report he eriticizes it because it is
not purely and simply a ''tariff for
revenue only" bill, but strongly
protective measure, and before be
ends the report, he characterizes it
as absolutely unprotective. The
Democratic party never intended to
undo the Ubiquitous tariff legislation
of thirty years of Republican rule
at one fell swoop, and its leaders
have never said that the reform of
the tariff they would inaugurate
should not be considerable of the pres
ent condition of the Industrial inter
ests of the country. The majority of
thepeople ofthe United States belong
to the Democratic party, and to all
unprecedented minds, are as much
interested in the future prosperity
of its people as are the members of
the Republican party. The greatest
statesmen of the Republican party
have all condemned its policy at
different times in the past
That the report of the minority is
for political effect all will believe.
In all legislation nowadays party
success cuts more prominent
figure than the peoples interest do.
AS was the case in the Mckinley
bill, so it will be in the Wilson bill
many notifications will be made.
Some, perhaps, because they ought
to be, others, no doubt, to unite the
party on the measure; but all can
rest assured that no coal combines,
or copper combines, or iron ore COM
bines, or any other combines leagued
together to control prices at the ex-
pense of the consumer, will mold
the present tariff bill to suit them,
as they did in the case of the Nc
Kinley bill. Other cities are stu
ated as we are, and are at the mercy
of the combination of mine owners
of the State. Our dealers are con-
trolled by these men and the people
are the sufferers. There are no
manufacturers here but what will
be benefited by the present bill,
giving us free coal, iron, copper,
wool, lumber and so forth. There
is no reason why one part of the
country should be made to pay
tribute to another part. Yet, at the
same time, our representatives are
not going to prematurely injurc or
destroy any industry in trying to
carry ont the program the Repub-
ican politicians have been setting
forth as the policy of the Democrat
ic party. As a party it is attempt
ing to do just what it promised, yet
the eroakers are not satisfied be-
cause they find themselves con-
victed of Misrepresentation and
falsehood. Many editors claim one
week the Wilson bill is a protection
bill and in the next issue it is a free
trade bill. They don't know "where
they are at" If they would give
the people a rest until after the
effects of the new tariff is seen, they
would, by SO doing, vastly promote
the business interests of their re-
spective communities.

that when the war tariff now exist
ing was enacted by the Republican
party in 1861, the manufacturers
opposed and labored actively to
prevent it. John Sherman himself,
was the most incorporating OPP
ponent of the measure, and his
speeches on the floor of the Senate
are quoted to prove it.
Moreover the tariff which existed
at that time, and which the war
tariff of 1861 superseded was lower
tariff than the Wilson bill proposes.
1t was passed in 1916 and although
when it was passed, the same kind
of silly predictions of universal dis
aster were made, and the same bit
ter opposition of the manufacturers
was encountered, yet its passage
was followed by period of greater
general prosperity than the country
had ever known.
So it will be when the Wilson
bill-or even lower tariff bills
passed. The present depression
and distress is the direct result of
an unnatural stimulation of our
manufacturing industries, which has
brought about an over production,
q glut of the market. and a conse-
quent closing up of our manufac-
tories and the throwing out of en-
ployment millions of skilled labor
ers.
In fact the operations of a high
tariff have brought disturbance and
disaster to almost every business
interest of the country. Capital
and labor have gone pell-mell into
the protected industries in order 10
reap the unnatural profits, and now
that the thing has been overdone
both capital and labor must lie idle
until a readjustment upon natural
and legitimate basis can be effected
in which the law of supply and de-
mand regulated by healthy COM
petition shall be in control.
Nothing but tariff upon a reve-
nue. basis can bring this about, and
even that cannot cure Immediately
all the evils the Mckinley tariff has
brought upon us.-Ne,o Dominion.

With the beginning of the new
year the campaign of 1894 will
open. In this State legislature
will be chosen that will elect
United States Senator for six years.
There will, besides, be elected in the
fall a new House of Representatives.
The political complexion of the
next congress will depend upon the
result of the elections this fall. And
Democrats may as well face the
facts as they exist. 1t is no use
denying the trnth, nor trying to
brush aside with breath the obsti-
nate facts that stare us in the face,
and are handspring the probability
of success in close localities.
One of Mr.. Harrison's first acts
after he became president was to
suspend the operation of the civil
service law then in force, and start
ed the guilIotine at work slieing off
the heads of Democratic office hold
ers as fast as removal blanks could
be filed up. After serving three
years and ten months with the
power of removal and appoint
ment unabridged by legal or moral
obstacles, and the Democrats about
to come into power, the elections
having already been determined,
Mr.. Harrison on the eve of his de-
parture from the White House and
having filed all the offices possible
with Republicans, extended the
civil service law to nearly FIVE
hundred additional post offices, their
clerks and carriers. OF course there
is no pretense that this civil service
extension was made for any pur-
pose other than to exclude Demo
Gratis from reaping the results of
their great party victory. But the
Democrats arc not content with
such a conclusion. The contest
was over the power to administer
the affairs of the government, and
the Republican victory of 1888
brought to that party success; but
nothing worth speaking of has yet
come to the Democrats from the
victory of 1892.

A Race with a Seal.

One day as three sailors were re-
turning from a settlement on the
coast Of Greenland, they were just
about to take to the small boat to geI
back to their ship, when one of them
espied queer object at some distance
from the waters edge,
"Bill," said he to his mates, whats
wrong with that Eskimo kicking up
his heels over there?"
"How can l tell? Better go and
ask him."
"Why, Bill, it amt man at all,
but a seal, and" after pause,
during which he had been watching
the curious objeCt-"seal it is. I'll
take your advice and go and see him. )"
"You have no time Joe; we've
been too long already"
"Give me half an hour, Bill, and
I'll bring him back with me-" and
the man marched off toward the
creature, which really was a seal, ly-
ing on its back, basking in the sun.
Fortunately for the sailor the VIVID
was blowing from the SEAL otherwise
the animal, whose hearing is of the
sbarpest, would have detected him
long before he could reach it. AS it
was, he was close to the seal before it
was aware of his presence.
The moment it saw him it turned
on its flippers, sent the man sprawl
ing in the snow, and ere he could re-
gain his feet was leaping furiously
seward. The sailor tried to catch
it, but he was hopelessly beaten in
the race, and when he returned to
his mates he was numerically chaffed
all the way back to the vessel.
To the would-be captor, moreover,
the matter might not have proved
such a joke as he intended it, for had
the seal found its retreat to the sea
cut off it would have turned upon its
pursuer and made a resoute fight for
freedom; for the seal bites viciously
when reused, as many a splendid sal
mon has discovered too late.

Mrs. Robinson retorted with wom-
ans argument in similar cases. She
burst into tears and told Robinson he
was mean old thing, and If he
knew SO much he could just set them
out again himself, so there
Robinson took a spade and a dibble
and set them out. While doing this
he noticed that he turned up an ex-
traordinary number of small, dirty
white pulpy things, with green
sprouts sticking out at one end. They
looked unfamiliar but he dug on
without thinking much about them
and when the twenty-five cabbages
were set out each with a fair dis,
lance between it and its neighbor, so
that 1t might without inconvenience
grow four feet in diameter, If it so
minded, he cOndescendingly called
his wife to come, that he might show
her how SO simple thing should be
done
The first thing that caught Mrs.
Robinson's eye were the peculiar
dirty-whlte pulpy things, and poklng
at one with her toe, she said,
"What did you dig those up for?"
