A hundred millions a year will pay all

over and above that amount is paid for
the promotion of fraud. Why not resume
the work of pension reform?-New York

/ The pension bureau has been in politics
entirely too much The Republicans used
it for all it was worth" Let there be
reform.
Earnest and consistent advocates of
tariff reform have just ground for COM
paint about many of the provisions of the
thin supporters of McKinleyism and the
Mckinley tariff, with all its huge jobs,
about indecent favoritism and ''prohibi-
tory duties IN the bill recently passed
is more dishonest, insincere, and naueseat-
ing than anything of the sort that can be
found in the history of American politics.
New York Times Oem)
The supporters of Mckinleyism would
cease to be Supporters without their dis
honesty and insincerity. These two things
are essentials of McKinleyism.
In 1917 the country was kept from going
TO the dogs, under the low Walker tariff
by the discovery of gold in California
New York Advertiser (Rep)
Mr.. Blaine does not so say in his
discovery and the Republicans should ex-
pioit it.
When Congress stopped the free coin
age of silver in 1873, when it resumed a
limited coinage of the metal IN 1878. and
limited silver bullion deposit policy, and
when it dropped this in 1893 and ceased
absorbing silver in any form or amount,
it was we'll within the scope of its au-
tlOrltV Under
Globe-Democrat (Rep.)
1t is possible for Congress to exercise
power granted by the Constitution and
still work great injury to the people.
To demonetize gold would be great
wrong but no greater than the wrong
done by the Republican party when it
demonetized silver in 1873.
Speaking of the retirement of Mr.. Jo-
siah Quincy from the Craftsmanship of
the Democratic state committee of Mas
sachusetts, the Boston Post Oem) says:
Mr.. Josiah Quincy resigns the chair
manship of the Democratic state COM
nittee in manly and sensible letter. He
resigns because of the demands of his
private business; and he does so at this
time in order that the organization may
be made complete in season for the fall
campaign
Many of our friends take for granted
that the next House of Representatives
will be Republican. They forgetsthe solid
south and the fraud triumphant that has
made it solid and that keeps it So OF
the 1856 members of the present House 12S
only are Republicans. In order to secure
a majority in the next House the Repub-
licans must gain at least fifty-one seats.
Mail and Express (Rep.).
The Republicans are beginning to re-
fleet that the people Will have to be con-
sidered when it comes to election times.
Two years ago the people declared for
tariff reform, and they have not changed
their minds since.
Mr.. MacVeagh Will find himself con-
fronted with condition which cannot
be explained away by hashing over the
free-trade fallacies of the old school of
political economists. = Chicago Inter
Ocean Rep).
Mr.. MacVeagh will need to use no ar
gurnents but the undeniable and lndis-
putable fact that the country never was
in such a wretched condition as under the
McKinley-Republcan tariff.
The example needs no comments
