The Moral Aspect Of the Case.

Congressman j. G.. Tarsney dem. of
Mo- gave utterance to just sentiment
in speaking of the passage OF the senate
tariff bill when he said: "Should there
be any reduction in the burdens of the
people, such reduction would not COM
pensate for the injury to the public and
private morals of the people that must
result from the conviction, now gen
eral, that this bill is not the product of
the deliberate, patriotic judgment of
their legislators, but is the result of in
fluences that ought to have no potency
in making the peoples laws"
Certainly legislation, the influence of
public bodies of the high character of
the senate of the United States, should
be elevating and stimulating in the di-
recton of high achievement and well
doing. IL the National Senate and
House of Representatives lay them
selves open to the suspicion of bribery,
corruption and fraud, and achieve sue
cess, how can we expect honesty and a
conscientious regard for the public in
terest in lesser official life, or a strict
regard for integrity in private business
action?
1t is humliating and demoralizing in
the extreme to have it given out with
such show of reason that the govern
ment of the United States is dominated
by gigantic Trust. Scout it as you
will, the fact remains that it is more
than a matter of suspicion that the trust
dominates the senate; and it is certain
that the senate, in spite of the presi-
dent, forced the house to accept its die
tum without letter of change. 1t is
also probable that the same power
which has forced the situation thus far
will prevent the president from vetoing
the bill.
Thus, in the moral aspect of the case,
the situation is calamity. Example is
more efficacious than precept. Fraud
and corruption in high places cannot
be otherwise than demoralizing to the
people.

crat leaders and the Democrat press
take such an attitude regarding this
act, does it look as If the business men
of the country could assume that tariff
agitation was endeds
There is another important matter in
volved in the adoption of this bill. 1t
is the taclt surrender of a principle, a
constitutional right, that the House OF
Representatives has paramount super
vision over all subjects pertaining to
the raising of revenue. 1t cannot be
said that the bill which has just been
passed is a House Bill. 1t has scarcely
the semblance of the bill which origin
ated in the popular branch of the Ma
tional legislature. And yet, in the face
of all its promises, of party consistency,
and of public good, the Democrat
House has repudiated its faith, and its
pledges, and the constitutional trust
resting upon it, and legislated directly
and deliberately for the sole benefit OF
trusts and monopolsts.
Mr.. Cleveland should reorganize his
phrase of "perfidy and dishonor," as
applied to the Senate, and include the
House of Representatives as well under
the appellation. For certainly, in the
face of its previous declarations, its
rights, and its duties, it his deliberately
succumbed to disgrace and dishonor,
while it has settled nothing perma-
nently. In both Houses supplementary
bills have been introduced, or notice
given of their introduction, for making
important revision in the tariff that is
still awaiting the signature of the Pres
dent ere it becomes law.

The Danger Of Letter Writing

The President has done the Republi
cans a kindness 10y having written the
letter which Chairman Wilson caused
to be read before the Democratic eau
Gus and made public. But how about
his own party?
The Republicans do not like the bill;
they believe that it is every way bad,
and they say so plainly, and can with
out fear of challenge now call the Pres
ident of the United States to witness
the truth of their indictment of this de-
testable measure.
AT this writing it is not known what
the President will do with the bill, but
if he signs it, as he probably will, he
will stultify himself beyond redemption
He will stand in the pillory of public
contempt, both now and in history, if
by his act he assents to this bill of sale
which he has previously characterized
as "steeped in perfidy and dishonor. ="
We have had many tariff agtatons
before in this country, but we have
never before had one which the presi-
dent of the nation and the head of the
party in power declared to be tainted
with "perfidy and dishonor." If this
corrupt abomination becomes a law, il
can only be by the consent of the very
man whose voluntary testimony we
have that, by inference, it is the work
of tricksters, bribe-takers and vote job.
bers of congress.
Mr.. Cleveland has done the Republi.
cans great service by his penchant foi
letter-writing.
The reputation of the Democratic
party is gone, anyway. Its representa-
tives passed the tariff bill. Mr.. Cleve
land has not at this date signed it, SC
he has the chance to save his reputa
ton. He denounced the bill in adj
vance, and now by vetoing it he will be
consistent. Such hope has little basis,
however.
