ABOUT the best Republican
doctrine that the TELEGRAM can
give It's readers at this time is to
publish the utterances of promi-
nent Democrats. Congressman
Tom Johnson. of Ohio, a man
whose Democracy never has been
questioned. said this in a recent
speech
Every man, woman and child
uses sugar. 1t is one of the
prime necessaries of life. And
there is not a housewife in the
land who will not feel that she
is robbed by our Democratic
Tariff Reform" when she finds
that where she got three pounds
of sugar under the Mckinley
bill she Now, under the German
bill, for the same money, gets
but two. You and 1, with our
Official incomes of $50 a year.
may not feel this tax; Mr.. Cleve
land. with his official income of
$4,000 year, may not feel it {;
our colleagues of the Senate,
especially those who may have
bought Sugar Trust Stock at the
right time may not feel it ; but
the great mass of the people by
whose votes we are here-the
great mass of the people who
must count every penny of in
comes not sufficient to enable
them to live in half way decent
comfort, they will feel it; they
will feel it at once and feel 1t
bitterly. 1t is a bill that the Re-
publicans jeer at, that the Demo-
cratic press has universally de.
nounced; a bill that the President
himself has declared an exhibi-
ton of perfdy and dishonor a
bill that cannot possibly be de-
Tended, and that as certainly as
election day comes in November,
will be indignantly repudiated
by the people"

Y That great Democratic organ,
the New York World, last week
said: 1t is the duty of Democrats
to declare their hostility to the
Sugar Ring and the Sugar Ring
corruption. They should per-
form their duty at once. Indiana
Democrats have set an example
that ought to be followed every
where. If State conventions are
not to be held Immediately the
State committees should speak.
1t behoves the Democratic party
to denounce the seeming alliance,
to deciare'eits hostility to the
Sugar Ring and to all trusts and
monopolies. 1t should open i'm
mediate war upon them, that the
country may know that the party
is not changed though it may
have been betrayed.
Where, for example. does the
State Democracy stand on this
question? Why has it not uttered
its protest against the Sugar
Trust and the Sugar Trust Sen.
ators ?"
Mr.. John ]. Davis did utter his
protest in the resolutions he
drafted for the Harrison county
Democracy, but when Mr.. E. G..
Smith tried to declare hostility
to the trust and the Senators IN
the Congressional convention last
Tuesday, he was hooted at by the
mob. Smiths resolution was in
line with the New York World,
but not in line with the First
district Democracy, Smith will
now be consoled by the fact that
the great World is with him no
matter where the West Virginia
Democracy stands. Let them

great revival as a result of the
