Indiana Democracy and the President
In an interview given at Fort Monroe,
Va, Gov. Matthews of Indiana is quoted as
fayfng that the democrats of Indiana, with
remarkable unanimity. indorse President
Cleveland's letter to Congressman Wilson
and ask that Congress shall stand BY the
Wilson bill We would prefer to go before
the people making the fight for the princi-
pies involved in true tariff reform-in
short, hghting over again the battle of
1SSz-than to enter the campaign as apollo
gists for the failure to faithfully redeem
pledges made, as the people believed. with
sincerity and honesty. We can make
winning fight ouly OH principle and not for
q difference in the percentage of protec-
ton. We cannot, we feel, explain the in
consistency to farming people of free
wool and protection to other raw materials,
such, for instance, as iron and coal / be-
Heve We might justify or explain u decent
solution of the sugar problem. II some in
diligence in it's treatment seemed to be
necessary, but not relates to the others.
I'VE earnestly hope the House may stand
firm. and as earnestly believe the Senate is
unfair and unjust to the people. Party
promises should be faithfully redeemed
as individual pledges or obligations. To fail
in an honest. earnest effort to keep faith
may be forgiven. but the people will not
forgive II they believe they have been de-
ceived. The American people, and especial
ly the democratic party. is just. In short.
the Indiana democracy Is with President
Cleveland and the House."
The Tariff I'm Anne Arundel County.
The democrats Of Anne Arundel county.
Nd held a meeting at Annapolis yesterday
to arrange for the congressional campaign
IN that district. 1t was Cleveland meeting,
and the keynote Of their refrain Was tariff
reform Mr. D.C.Lyles, one Of the speakers.
said: Maryland not having produced any
sugar and a limited amount OF coal and iron
our representatives should not take stand
for the protection Of these interests in viola
ton OF the principles OF the democratic
Party as announced in the platform of 1892.
Mckfnleyism Is accountable for the present
Ills suffered by the agriculturists of the
state, particularly by the stagnation of bust
ness throughout the country. The whole
nation. regardless of states. had been look
ing anxiously and patiently to an adjust
ment of the pending tariff measure, but
those who are supposed 10 represent them
are deceiving them. MIR Cleveland has been
q guardian Of the peoples rights in the past
and their only hope in the future rests in
MS sterling integrity as an exponent CT the
democracy.
State Senator Moss, Mr. VIM. A Shipley
and r. III. Israel also made speeches approv-
Ing the course of President Cleveland and IN
favor Of tariff reform.
