To The Editor of The Republican.
The long drawn agony, The
months of weary, weary waiting,
the painfully protracted suspense is
finally over. and the Cleveland
Wilson. Brice-Gorman bill has
become an actuality.
1t is wise provision Of nature
that animals of separate species WIT
not propagate their kind, and it is
doubtless a wise arrangement that
fellow can have but one daddy,
and 1t would have saved the party
in power great deal of annoyance
and great deal of discontinue if
the new tariff bill had had but one
father, for as might be apprehended
IN nature an animal with half a
dozen different kinds of progenitors
would result in a nondescript
product. SO the Democratic tariff
bill with It's multiplied fatherhood
is after all nothing but a grotesque
monstrosity, unlike anything in
earth, air or sky, or in the waters
under the earth. 1t IS neither fish,
fowl nor beast and there is not a
single living creature on the Amer
lean continent that is pleased with
it except our RIVALS across the bor-
der, who want free lumber and free
wool. There was not a sin gle mem
Der Of Congress in either house
pleased with the measure and they
passed it simply to get it out Of the
way and to get the job off of their
hands so they could go home to
their constituents and say the thing
was done. Nothing has been set
tied, the free trade leg of the Dem
ocratic party is kicking because
there is not enough tariff reform in
1t to suit them, and the protection
limb is flying round loose, because
wages will have to be still further
reduced and they fear the coming
reckoning with the voters. German
is complacent, exceedingly COM
placent, but his satisfaction arises
from CleYeland's nomination and
discontinue and from the prestige
it has given him as a successful
party tactician, rather than from
fondness ne entertains for the in
herent provision Of the measure.
Mr.. German would prefer to have
seen the Mckinley duty on lumber
and coal, and possibly on wool, re-
tanned, but being a Democrat he
had, on the principle that being
among wolves he was obliged to
howl, to yield a part would not
yield all of the demands his party
made for the spoilation of Ameri-
can interests.
And so the battle is on aud to
Republicans of Garrett county |
wouldrepeat the cry ITO your tents,
Oh Isreal.' ana see to it that your
majority thus fall shall eclipse any
thing in the record of the party
since Garrett was a county.
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Wilson of
West Virginia. declare that they
are not satisfied and that they pur-
pose following up their line of
spoilation to the American working
people and manufactures. As the
bill goes into operation thousands
and tens Of thousands have gone
oution strike rather than submit to
necessary lowering of wages. Not
outstanding the hard times and
the reductions IN wages already
made, these political economists
insist Oh turning down the screws a
little tighter and on driving the
American laborer down a little
nearer the level of European wages.
But the people will be heard from
next, and you may be listening, for
something is going to drop" about
the 9th of November sure. W.
