laws of the United States. which have
kept the American flag atinat in our

what Tariff, Mr.. Faulkner ?

The Hon. CHARLES J. FAULKNER Of West
Virginia Chairman OF the Democratic Con
gressional Committee, AYERS that the fight
this year IL to be made on the tariff This
decision Is not optional with Mr.. FAUX
NER. The Republicans decided some time
ago that the fight was to I've made upon
the tariff; and up to date they have
been singularly successful in the fight They
are not bound down to any definite policy.
They do not have to say whether they favor
the restitution of the MCKINLEY tariff or
simply the destruction of the WILSON tariff
and the construction OF a different protec-
tive tariff. They have as their strong helper
the deep and general dissatisfaction with
the course OF the Administration and most
OF the Democratic Congress In reference to
the tariff. Stronger still is the help they get
from the anger and impatience Of the coun-
try at having been forced to endure severe
pecuniary loss for the sake OF establishing
new economic system, which system the
Democrats made not a single effort to estab-
lish. The Republicans will claim that they
gave the country protection and prosperity,
while the Democrats have given 1t protec-
ton with adversely and the income tax.
And what sort OF tariff liz Mr.. FAULKNER
going to fight on Is he going to defend
the WILSON GERMAN tariff Mr. CLEvE-
LAND has kindly furnished the Republicans
with description OF that. Is he going to
fight on Mr.. CLEvELAND's great principle Of
free coal and iron' Mr.. CLEvELAND's po-
litical prestige Is hardly sufficient just now
to attach any deep popularity to his per
sonal views Besides, Senator GoRMAN and
Senator JONES and other good witnesses
have testified that Mr.. CLEVELAND accepted
the looping off OF the free list.
Will Mr. Faulkner fight on additional
tariff legislation, small-fry bills for adding
to the free list and cutting up protection by
degrees The country Is not In mood for
further monkeying with the tariff by the
awkward squad. To make the fight on the
tariff for revenue only is out Of the question,
OF course. The voters have been gulled
once. 1t Is too much to expect that they
can he gulled again The Congressional
Committee, remembering the course Of the
Democrats in the Fifty third Congress, can
not say too little about the Chicago plat
form and the constitutional tariff. And
they will be careful not to say anything in
these parts about the income tax.
We advise Senator FAULKNER to think
deeply for week, and find out what sort of
tariff he is going to make the fight on.
