TIE GORMAN TARIFF.

The result OF years labor OF the
Democratic party, manned by u Demo
cratic president and n working majority
in both branches OF congress, the Demo
cratic tariff measure, which Grover
Cleveland has publicly declared "be-
trayal OF Democratic pledges, and per
sonal and party periidy and dishoncr'
and MIR. w. l.. Wilson, the supposed
father OF Democratic tariff legislation,
asserted, just prior TO it's passage by the
house, was a gift OF Sl0,OO0,0OO TO the
sugar trust, was achieved on Monday
when the Democratic majority in the
House OF Representatives., acting under
direction of its master, the Democratic
president, Internationally capitulated
TO the agent Of the sugar trust, the
senior senator from Maryland, the Hon
orable Arthur II. German. At this
writing, the action OF the president upon
the measure has not been announced,
but that he, too, will be coerccd to n
liberal diet OF humble pie by the superior
prowess OF the Maryland senator is best
evidenced by the abiect humiliation OF
the house majority, mere puppet in his
hands and his agent and representative
in the congress OF the United states.
Thus we are to hive engraited upon the
statute books, i'm return for an aggregate
loss TO the country too enormous TO be
even approximated in round numbers,
and an internal uphcaval that has
starved labor and wrecked fortunes
from the gulf TO the Canadian border
from the Atlantic To the Paciiic-by the
sanction OF the president of the United
States, tariff measure which hc has
publicly branded personal and party
periidy and 1ishonor. So much for the
first two years of the change" for which
n majority Of our people sacrificed their
prosperity in 1892.
In the form OF an additional legacy
from the Democracy TO the workingman,
we are TO have bill providing mn in
sufficient revenue for the expenses Of the
national government, when economical
ly administered, and the reduction OF
the treasury 10 bcggary, Notwithstanding
the fact that, in Difference 10 the sugar
trust, the most formidable monopolstic
cormorant that turks in our commercial
waters, tax Of 100000, 900 per annum
will be levied upon the breakfast tables
OF Americas toiers, while her miners will
receive wages based upon n half.hcartcd
and inadevuatc protection for tho prod
uct OF her mines, her lumbcrmcn will be
compelled to accept the foreign standard
Of wages, wrought by free lumber and her
farmers will slaughter her flocks TO give
place TO the producer Of foreign woods.
That the Gorman-Sugar Trust tariff
bill which Mr.. Cleveland will permit TO
become the law Of the land IL n "perfidy
and dishonor" no Republican will deny.
IL is "perfldy and dishonor" such as
have characterized the Democratic
ascendency since Grover Cleveland ON the
morning OF his second administration
RACED the prosperity OF our western
states nj the instance al the plutocrats |
OF Wall street. II il n party perfidy and
such ms the Democratic party |
in it's seryile subjugation TO the interests
ol the trusts alone could accom-
plIsh, but il is only so in the
mind Of Grover Cleveland because il
failed 10 open our ports 90 free coal at
the command OF the coal trust, with
which Grover Cleveland is closely associ.
ated. II Is indeed party periidy and
Mr.. Cleveland, and NO one IL
more cognizant OF that fact than the men
In the mines, the harvest fields and in the
woods, and they will proceed TO rcbuke
the pcrndious party that gave IL birth
by routing dishonest. incompetent,
Understanding Democracy
from the lowest places upward wherever
presents itself in November
next and thereafter.
Michigan will send the glad tidings far
and wide that majority OF sixty
