LOCAL TARIFF INTEREST.
Democrats Want Reform, but They Want
1t For the Other Fellow.

Democrats want Reform, but They Want
1t For the Other Fellow.
If General Hancock is looking down
from the battlements of that secure
fortress. where al good soldiers go, /"
today, he must be interested and i'm
pressed to observe that the Democratic
party has at last found out that he was
right when he said, "The tariff is a
local question The Democratic party
permitted him to be defeated because he
made that statement. but that it was an
absolutely truthful II is shown by the
condition of the Democratic party and
its proposed tariff reform today. A
Democratic president, elected by a free
trade platform. pledged to radical tariff
reform, has now been in the White
House nearly IL months, with power to
call together q congress Democratic In
both branches. After FIVE months of
delay he did call that congress together,
and it has now been in session almost q
year, but without the enactment Of q
tariff law. The reason that 10 has failed
and at the same time brought ridicule
upon itself and distress TO the country
10 because of that very truth which
General Hancock uttered, and for which
the Democratic party gibbeted him,
when he said. "The tariff is q local
question" The delay in the tariff work
Of this congress and administration
pledged to tariff reform Is because every
representative and every senator was
struggling to get protection for his own
people and to put the free trade prom
ised in the Democratic platform upon
some other fellows people. The result
has been a wrangle within the Dem
ocratie party which threatens to abso-
lutely destroy it, and, what is far worse
than that, business uncertainty, business
depression, lack of employment, strikes,
suffering, starvation. Truly the tariff
is a local question" but everybody
wants it, and thus, while local" to
every man, it becomes general and ma
tional, and the party which attempts TO
eliminate it from the system of our gov
ernment produces dissatisfaction in ev-
cry individual, hence disorder and the
direful results with which this country
has been cursed ever since the election
of 1892 gave promise of free trade tar
i'll, which the Democratic party has
found itself unable to put into execu-
ton, because of the unwillingness of each
of its Legislators to accept the doctrines
Of his party for his OWL section and
people.

Austro-H ungar- it is 1854 per family,

Educator.


Let every Republican put himself on
the stand and PROFOUND such questions
as these:
Is there a Republican paper published
IN or near your county the editor of
which is known TO be an earnest and
honest Republican? If SO, do you get a
copy of such paper regularly, and do You
pay for it promptly?
Do you make any effort TO induce
your friends to aid in extending the e.
culation of local Republican papgs?
Do you advertise in such papers aafree-
ly and fully rs your circumstances and
the nature of your business viii permit!
Is your friendship for the Republican
press active or passive? Arc yen aware
that the Republican party has been put
at a great disadvantage through tha
failure of Republicans to give liberal
MD and support to the Republican press.

Free Traders Are Still Odious In the Eyes

Whereas. The traffic in laborers transported
from China and other eastern countries, known
as the cody trade, Is odious TO the people OF the
United States as nhuman and immoral; and
Whereas, 1t Is abhorrent to the spirit Of mod
ern international law and policy, which have
substantially extirpated the African slave
trade, to permit the establishment in its place
OF a mode OF enslaving men differing from the
former in little else than the employment of
fraud instead OF force to make its victims cap
tive; therefore
BE il resolved, That it Is the duty of this gov
eminent TO give effect to the moral sentiment
OF the nation through all Its agencies for the
purpose OF preventing the further introduction
of coolies into this hemisphere or the adjacent
islands.
Ordered. That the secretary lay the forego-
ing resolution before the president of the United
States.
Attest: J. w. FoRNEY, Secretary.
1t is equally s'the moral sentiment of
the nation today that the work done
by cheap labor is "as inhuman and i'm
moral" IA cheap labor itself. Those
members of congress who vote TO reduce
our existing protective tariff and there.
by permit the importation of foreign
goods made by cody and other cheap
labor to compete with goods made by
American labor-all members of con-
gress voting for such traffic will be
"odious to the people of the United
States" and will be ''inhuman and i'm
moral, according to a resolution passed
by the United States senate on Jan. I6,
1867.
