Now let the dominant party IN
the Senate get gait on and pass
the tariff bill through it.
All these strikes don't in the
leastshake the general conviction
that the best time for striking is
the clock.
Dropping partisans may not
break them up to the extent of
breaking their bones, but it
knocks them out of place.
One of the sights of Congress
is to see the Speaker throwing
his eye over the House and the
various members trying to catch
it.
Senators may be falsely
charged with manipulating sugar,
| but there is unqNestionably a
large class of humanity prone to
take stock in taffy.
Proposing to get over the grass
prohibition by talking from a
balloon is very suggestive of a
Coxeyite. They imagine they re
above the law.
One of his disciples says Coxey
wants to be President. With Nc
Kinley out for it, too, and the rest
of the State to hear from, Ohio's
going for monopoly in a new
direction.
Less gold going abroad has
shut up the calamity howlers in
that line. For that matter, as to
any effect they're having they
might as we'll be as dead as the
Doges of Venice.
Senator Hills much h-tallzed-o OF
fight against the Senate tariff
bill began Saturday. It appar-
entity ended also. On his free
lead ore amendment one Demo
crat and one Populist voted with
him; the other forty nine Sena-
tors voted the other way. AS a
leader of a combine, Mr.. Hill
seems scarcely success.
By a curious freak of fate it
happens that Nova Scotia coal is
being imported to the United
States, not by the influence of a
free trade law, but under the
operations of McKinley's sky
high protection. These blatant
frauds precipitated the coal strike
by cutting down wages already
reduced by McKinleyism to the
starvation point, and now, ir
furtherance of their war upor
American wages, they are doing
the very thing which for gene
ration they have declared would
ruin them namely, importing
foreign coal.
From the remarks Of some o.
the minority Senators and of tht
able editors who regard the Nc
Kinley tariff as the summit o
craftsmanship, we gather tha
the tariff bill now pending in th'
Senate is Objectionable for tw,
reasons:
: 1. It is a free trade tariff, de
signed for the destruction o
American industries.
9. It is not a free trade tariff
but affords protection to Ameri
can industries.
The apparent contradiction
Ill these two objections is easil,
reconciled by the third, which i
: really the important one an,
comprehends both the others
It is Democratic tariff, an,
therefore to be opposed.
While the Commonwealers ar
marching to Washington de
manding that Congress shall fur
, nish them with work, the frui
growers and gardeners of Della
ware and Maryland can't get hal
as many hands as they need t
; pick strawberries and pull weeds
The persistency with which thes
armies of tramps look in th
wrong place for work furnishe
all the evidence needed that tn
!. Commonwealers are not anx
q ious to find the work the
!. pretend to be looking for. Their
e should be idle people enoug
!, who really want work to pic
h the berries and pull the weed
t Of the country, and the journe
/, from town to country for thi
j. purpose will be neither a long nc
0 costly one if any desire to max
h it.
