THE TARIFF SITUATION.


ZION NfCcraAr3.
II Is true that nincty-nine per cent
Of the democrats of the country prefer
the house tariff bill to that which
passed the senate. and IL Is not sur
prising that the preference is SO over
whclming. The house bill wasn't
perfect measure, but IL very closely
approached the lines which had been
LAID down in the minds of the demo-
Gratis OF the country. IL substituted in
nearly all cases al valorem for specific
duties. which is in the interest Of JUS
ticc and reason. and in all material id
stances put raw materials on the free
list. in obedience To a well-understood
democratic demand. Its only grave
fault was that il held out the menace
Of treasury deficiency. which. II re-
allied. would have been calamitous.
The senate bill is much less perfect.
though in the taxation Of sugar it
avoided the danger which lurked in
the house measure. But it is safe to
say that that is the only point of i'm
provement. 1t is Objectionable in that
il restores the odious and unjust spec
citic system of duties. IL violates the
democratic pledges in continuing the
tax on raw materials IL is offensive
in that il preserves the unjust and in
furious protective system. In fact, the
only thing that can be truthfully said
in its favor is that it is infinitely better
than the Mckinley bill. Its adoption
would repeal that agency Of robbery
and destroyer of prosperity and save
the people of this country millions of
dollars in taxation.
These are tn. conditions that confroi .
the democratic congress and people.
In the face of them what is to toe done9
There is no use in flying off on tam
gent over it. Reason the question out.
Summon the arguments on both sides,
and weigh them. On one side II may
be said that the failure to legislatc for
the relief of the people Will forfeit
public confidence in the democratic
party. 1t Will continue the needless
irdens which have exhausted their
resources, Frustrated their energies
and destroyed their prosperity. 1t
will put the democratic party On the
defensive in the impending congress
siona, contest, and defensive fight is
II lDSlnE bdLblcs hOIcONtis ~ - vi jus
tfy the accusation that the democratic
party is incapable Of governing the
country.
What is TO be said on the other side?
President Cleveland has said it all, and
said il well. 1t is simply that the sen
ate bill fails to fulfill the obligations
of the democratic party, and that the
failure is SO emphatic and inexcusabic
that it amounts To a betrayal of faith.
That is serious objection. and one
which should bring upon the heads Oh
those responsible for it the most severe
eyecration. But, after all, If the con.
dition is choice between the senate
bill and the Mckinley bill. the senate
bill should be passed. and that accom-
plished. every agency of furnishing the
recreants should be invoked. The In
terests of the people are entitled Il
consideration first After that matter.
Of politics will be in order. Kansas

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

The republican party of Iowa aaA
become q party Of extravaganza. It's
needless of the necessities of the peo-
pie and reckless in the expenditure OF
their money. -Ex-Gov. Boies' Speech.
Under democratic institutions
there is force stronger than scnates,
more powerful than presidents more
potent even than the press. 1t is the
force of public opinion.-N. Y. World.
An exchange asks: why do fish,
crmen lic?" Perhaps for the same rea-
son that republican editors do; they
can catch more suckers by lying than
by telling the truth. - Kansas City
Times.
A proper tariff bill must, as tho
president says. be largely the result OF
honorable adjustment and compro-
mise. But it need not be the result OF
barter and sale. Louisville Courier
Journal.
The people of the country arc
substantially united in conservative
measure which will reduce the burdens
Of taxation. remove the oppression OF
the Mckinley tariff and make great
step in that direction of absolute tariff
reform which is approved in the demo-
cratic platform. Argus.
The presidents letter to Mr..
Wilson is the utterance of an earnest,
honest advocate of principle who
sees that principle endangered; IL Is
the utterance of an earnest party man
who disilscs to see his party going
wrong or failing in its duty; it is
timely and patriotic deliverancc which
ought to bring the democratic leaders
to their senses -Indianapolis Sentinel.
Over confidence has taken full
possession Of the republican party this
year. and in politics over-confidcnce Is
most dangerous thing. II is almost
two years now since the last national
election. and Whitelaw Reid hasn't
fully recovered from the terrible night
mare Of seeing sure thing slip through
his fingers. Over-conident republicans
should consult him.-Kansas City

NOT A SECTIONAL MEASURE.
The -arin sili IL Intended to Treat AL
states Alike.

The attempt OF the Nc kinlcy organs
in both parties to arouse sectional
prejudice against the tariff bill be-
cause the democratic confcrrees are
mainly from the south is not warranted
by the measure itself.
The bill as it stands provides for free
wool and free lumber. Texas alone
had 4.SSs.55l sheep in 1898. This Is
three times as many as New York had.
1t just about equals the number OF
sheep in the five great western states
Of Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnc-
sofa and Iowa. Missouri and Ken
lucky, two other southern states. have
nearly as many sheep rs all the New
England states and New York to-
gcthcr.
Are not Georgia, North Carolina and
other southern timbcr-producing states
as much affected by free lumber asany
northern states?
As passed by the house the bill made
coal and iron orc free. tits hoped that
the conference will result in n rcstora
ton Of the democratic policy. Are not
Alabama. Tennessee, Virginia. West
Virginia and Maryland large producers
OF these articles?

ana is the chief beneficiary, was voted

ment of the property, which has pro-
dueed over a million dollars under his

celebrated Hall Tunnel which is being
driven to intersect the Colorado Central
vein from the north side of Leavenworth
mountain, and he also holds other large
mining interests in this county, besides
valuable mining property at Rico, Colo"
The Courier in speaking of this, says:
During his residence in this State Mr..

the principal of which was mining. AS
n silver miner he has probably done as
much as any one man towards develop
ing the great mineral wealth of Colorado
the Colorado Central mine, that has
produced nearly, if not quite 81, 600, 900,
being asplendid monument OF his lndom-
liable push and sound judgment in
that direction"
Aside from his business relations, Mr..
Hall held number of offices of public
trust, was Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, which, in Color
do, like the Board of Supervisors in
New York, is sort of legislature, had
held city Offices ETC.. and brought the
Georgetown fire department up to de-
gree of efficiency-0ne of the foremost in
the State. His wisdom and his purse
were ever ready to aid and assist those

Sons of America, who escorted
his remains to the depot as a last
tribute of respect to one of the noblest
types of mankind. He was kind and
indulgent father, and leaves behind to
mourn his loss a widow, one son and
two daughters, besides myriads of
friends. His body was placed in the re-
ceiving vault at Paramount Cemetery,
Denver.
The resolutions adopted by the secie-
expressive of the sentiments of the
Courier, which sums them up in these
words:
GAS citizen and neighbor he was
pleasant, genial and unassuming, and
while he INDUCED in no ostentatious
charity, yet it is said and known of him
that no man in honest need ever appealed
to him and went away empty-handed.
Always formost in advocating public
Improvements that would tend to beaut-
fly and build up the city of his home, he
was at the same time one of the most
willing and generous contributors to

its maintenance.
'The death of such man is public
calamity. and in these desperate times,

fering and starvation stare many in the
face, the people of Georgetown feel and

that unseals the fountain of their tears"
