EFT US HATE PEACE.


 battle over the tariff question by our unhappy democratic brethren in con gress appears 10 be near some kind of a solution. And it is high time. The best solution. of course, would be to leave the Mckinley bill in force and give up trying to make a change. which would prove only disastrous. Then the business world could go ahead for few months with the dire element of uncertainty re- moved for season. But the democrat ic party of to-day, the most badly mixed up party that has ever had con- trol at Washington, wants to do some thing. It doesn't want record of labor ing and debating for year and then bringing forth absolutely nothing. The free traders of the party are deeply de- spondent They cry for free trade and weep at the democratic tendency shown toward the protection policy of the re- publican party. policy which has brought and maintained prosperity for Amdrican industries for 50 long a period. The democratic party has had a years schooling in trying to run this government, and begins to find out that the true policy is protection to American industries, but dares not leave the Nc Kinley bill in force and thus stultify itself and its loud boasts and promises of alleged tariff reform. It is bound hand and foot by the self same big trusts which it boasted it would wal Top when 1t came into power. It has manifested & tendency to cater to a foreign coal industry which is con- trolled by trust composed of some of the most noted of democrats.
 As says the New York Tribune on this point: "If anybody is standing out for private and selfish ends in this dis graceful business, it seems to bs the president and his followers of tho Nova Scotia coal syndicate. The country does not want it's great industries prostrated, even though the Sugar Trust and the Whiskey Trust are to gain millions by the operation. It does not want either sort of trust to rob the people. It knows that the clamor for free raw materials is in every respect as dishon- est and as indifferent 10 public welfare as the brutal caudor of the W hiskey and Sugar Trusts.
 The people want this tariff agitation stopped, not by the passage of an in- famous bill, but by postponement of the whole business until the voters can OK press their opinion about 1t. That is the one thing the democratic tricksters do not dare to consider. because they know that the whole country is hostile to their free trade agitation and is dis. posed to punish them for 1t at the earliest opportunity"
 But this is still a great and glorious country. It has stood | year of demo. cratic palavering and quarrellng and back-biting and recriminating over a matter vitally affecting American in- dustries. and pending which these in. dustries. together, with trade and con- merce, have been prostrated. The think ing. working men of the country. who voted for the democratic ticket feel that they were led into all egregious blunder, The Change" promised them has pan- ned out nothing but misery for them, and they ses the democratic party |catering to trusts in barefaced fash ion. They behold no sign of a return of prosperity only in adjournment of a do. nothing and Incompetent congress. Th>y see that hard times have aceompanied democratic rule persistently. They now look to the day when at the polls the party can be returned to power which gave to tho, country prosperity. Tha, the Knowing leaders in the democratic party size up the situation is abundant. ly evidenced, by their almost frantic shouting for harmony. harmony. Even the Tammany tiger sinks away in it's slimy track of corruption before the indignant public, now reused a. never before: against it. There is ample reason for . return of republican ascendancy and rule. The republican party has done well for this country and it has shown . capacity for run. ming the government which amply promises .. return of happiness and prosperity when 1t come back again te power.
