FALSE PRETENsEs.
Democratic Ineapacity for Intelligent
Legislation.

Almost as soon as the votes cast at
the presidential and congressional
elections In 1892 had been counted the
democratic newspapers which had ad-
vocated the radical tariff reform TO
which the democratic party was
pledged by the Chicago platform be-
gan urging President-elect Cleveland
20 call an extra session OF congress as
Yoon as he should assume Office.
Such papers as the New York Times,
Boston Herald, Chicago Herald and
Louisville Courier-Journal insisted
that the people had voted for tariff
reform, and IL was the duty of the
democrats to give IL TO them MS soon
as possible. There was and could be
no excuse for delay, they said. Moth
ing stood in the way OF the passage OF
n bill which would wipe out the Nc
Kinley law II Mr.. Cleveland would
only convene congress in special SEES
sion and give the democratic lawmak-
ers n chance.
These radical free trade organs In
sisted that the democrats knew exact
" what they wanted. They had dis
cussed the proposed reform for years.
IL would not be necessary TO even APP
point a ways and means committee 70
consider the bill just as soon as
congress met the bill would be ready
and IL could be disposed OF in both
branches inside OF month. That
was what the molders OF democratic
opinion thought in the fall OF 1899
They assumed 10 believe that the dem
ocratic members OF the Fifty-thirc
congress were being consumed by de
sire 20 lift the burdens Of tariff ''taxa
ton" from the backs of the people.
Mr. Cleveland did call special ses
sion of congress, but not for the pur
pose OF considering a tariff bill. The
subject of tariff reform was not evei
taken up at that session. The com
mittee on ways and means was ap
pointed, however, and IL had sue

indistinct, and she turned and looked
for the boat. II was in sight, but oh
so far away.

In that hour
A sudden squall came mp almost
without warning. The sky grew black
with flying clouds. and the wind tossed
the salt spray into the girls white
face. Always afraid of storms she
trembled from head TO foot now, and
her heart seemed TO stop beating when
a sudden fash of lightning blinded her
for moment. Every minute seemed
an eternity. Her arms were giving
out - there seemed TO be no more
strength In them; and still she rowed
on and on, drenched with rain and
chilled through and through. She
reached the little boat at last and
with glad cry stretched out her hand
and grasped the edge. Harry. Harry,
darling, are you awake?"
There was no answer, and for one
brief moment her heart stood still
The squall had passed over as suddenly
as IL had come, but IL was growing
dark Still she could see the child as
she had hoped, fast asleep in the bot
tom of the boat-safe!

The democrats had everything their
own way. and yet IL required about
three months To get that bill through
the house
Then the measure went To tho sem
ate, where 10 was torn 60 pieces in the
interests OF the varioss trusts, which
demanded consideration. -Four hun
dred amendments were made to the
house bill, and Il was finally passed,
after remaining in the hands of the
senate more than four months. Now
the two branches OF congress are
In n deadlock over the two bills. The
president has found IL necessary TO in
icct himself into the controversy. and
il is doubtful IL the democrats will
succeed, after all, IN agreeing upon n
bill which will please all factions OF
the democratic party and all the special
and sectional interests which the dem
ocrats are inclined 90 favor.
From all this 1t appears 20 be plain
that the democrats do not know what
they want Furthermore, IL is appar-
cnt that they haven't much OF an idea
what the tariff reform, about which
they have talked since 1884, IS like.
People who had supposed that the do-
sire TO smash protection represented n
axed and settled democratic policy
will be compelled TO admit that they
were mistaken Present events at
Washington lead 10 the conclusion
that the democrats advocated tariff re-
form simply for the purpose OF array.
ing one man against another and OF
winning votes for the democracy, and
when they had won victory upon
that issue they found themselves ut
terly unable TO formulate and carry
out the policy they had advocated.
The democrats have succeeded in
demonstrating their incapacity when
entrusted with power, and they have
fully proved that the democracy is
party OF false prctenses. They have
accomplished nothing more. -=cleve-

Prose Poem In Which the Trusts DonN
Feel Had Prior TO the Last Verse
There Is sorrow In the white house.
where the lights are dim aud low; there
is grief up at the capitol where sad

committee rooms, where democrats sit
glum, and the star-eyed goddess glow

there Is weeping loud and wailing over
one poor tariff bill, and the democratic
cloak rooms are all silent, cold and
chill. Democrats who once were hap

nobody has discovered that the trusts

For the big trusts owned the senate,
owned Il body, mind and soul, and
they put the tariff measure In q
dusty pigeon hole. Then tho trusts
drew up tariff that was just what
they desired, and the democratic sem
ate merely stood by and admired. The
republicans protested, but their pro-
tests were in vain, for the trusts
