The Constitution contemplates that
when the President wants to address
Congress he do it through message,
but Grover ClevelaId I'd treats this con-
stitutional provision with contempt.
His latest method of influencing Con-
gress is wholly Unprecedented, and re-
calls Oliver CrCmwell's treatment OF
Parliament. He assumes the right to
dictate TO that body what sort OF a
tariff bill it shall pass, prescribing
with unheard OF arrogance what con-
cessions must be made in conference.

The country would like very much
just now TO read the report of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery Of United States
Senators by the Sugar Trust. The
committee has spent several weeks in
the investigation, and it must hay 9
learned whether the charges are true
or not If they are untrue there is no
reason why the committee should not
say 80. The only inferences to be
drawn from the failu Ct the COM
mittee TO n AXE a report are that the
charges are true, and that the report
is being held back because it would
affect the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill unfavorably, or else the committee
is trying to shield the guilty Senators.

James G. Blaine once used these
memorable words; II love my ooun-
try and my oountrymsn. l am an
American and rejoice every day OF
my life that am. / enjoy the gen.
eral prosperity OF my country and
know chat tho workingmen of this
land arc the best paid, the best fed
and the best clothed OF any laborers
on the face of the earth. Many Of
them have homes of their own. They
are surrounded by all the comforts
and many OF the luxnries Of life.
Il shudder. however, at the thought
That the time must come when all this
will be changed, when the general
prosperity OF the country will be- de.
stroyed. when the great body of work.
ingmeD In this land who are now so
prosperous will heaf their wives anu
children cry Tor bread; that the day
must come whaH the great factories
and manufactures OF this land will
smut down, and where there Is now
life and activity there will be the
silence of the tomb. And the reason
why this must DO is this: ..+.
1.-The great southern wing OF the
Democratic party are determined tC
establish the doctrine of tree trade IN
this land. They will b. assisted by
their northern allies. There ts IL grea
body of visionary hut educated mel
who are employed day by day IL
writing free trade essays and argu
ments in favor of that doctrine, whicl
lind their way into every NEWSPAPERS
. in this land.
Tho great body of our people have
never experienced themselves tho sui
ferings which always result when the
protective principles are laid aside
Poisoned ana excited by the wild svutC
ments OF these writer's and the dema
gogic appeals OF Dem ocratlc speaker!
the result will be that in the very neal
future these forces which are nov
working Will be strong enough to de
feat at the polls the party advocalin.
the doctrine OF protection. 1t mus
inevitably follow that uncertainty aut
doubt will ensue. The business iucI
OF the country, fearing the desiruc
tlop, Will decline to engage Ia business
Consequently mills will shut down
and the worltlngmen will be thrown
out OF employment.
The people will then see, .as the
have neVor seen before that they can
not be prosperous and have work whit,
this principle is threatened. In Tia
midst o. their suffering tnoy will learl
that the only way they can be pros
porous and happy Is to vote for tn
party that hus built up the industrl~
by which they have gained llvcl
mood, because they Will then see cleAI

for Its motto Fidelity, NGlor and
