ADIEU. TARIFF REFORM.

Tariff reform, OH, tariff reform! Fol
months your sad monotonous song has
been dinned into our ears. Tor months
the public has waited; waited while
tariff reform was evolving; waited dur
ing the epoch of rose-tinted and bedizen-
lessly interminable harangues; waited
and watched while the prosperity of the
| country faded away as gentle dream
and gave place 10 the snakey horrors
and the delirium of hard times; watched
while happy homes. happy minds, happy
communities, good citizenship, godly
actions, charitable offices and all he
joyful children of prosperity sank away
and dissolved and came again in a
chaotic grewsome phantasmageria of
agony. starvation, bad citizenship, vici
Gus actions, riot and destruction with
the red light of flaming anarchy CLEAN
ing over it all.
This country has witnessed it all. 1t
has seen the change from prosperity to
adversely. The transition has been
rapid, but the people have noted every
stage on the downward road. They
have seen the country's industries and
its industrial forces crippled and beg
gared-and for what?
Tariff reform. For tariff reform has
this country been scourged like galley
slave. Is its terrible suffering to be in
vain: So far as any relief tariff reform
may offer, it appears now that it will be
in vain.
The house passed one bill. The senate
amended it so that it changed the whole
nature of the bill. There was little
likelihood of an agreement between the
two bodies. Then Cleveland interferes.
He abuses and maligns the senate.
When he interfered he killed all chance
of compromise. The Democrats in the
senate have no vote to spare. Should
the majority of senators wish to sue
cumb to Cleveland, they could not en-
compass that design by any power,
caucus or otherwise. German, to say
nothing of the others, Will never come
to Cleveland's terms. The house, backed
up by the president, can not be forced
from its position, and there you are
tariff reform tied hand and foot.
There is no cha nee for another tariff
reform bill. The fall campaign is be-
ginning and the members of the house
must hasten TO their respective districts.
No quorum could be secured or be kept
during all the weary weeks which it
would take to form and discuss a new
tariff bill
Tariff reform is dead and when the
memory of its terrible effects has fed
the country viii become buovant again.
Next November the people will take a
hand. Republicans and not Democrats
will be sent to the house of representa-
tives. The power for evil in this Demo
cratic administration will be thwartad |
and the horrors of threatened tariff re-
form will become memory aud a terri
bic lesson to the people of the United |
States.
So much sfor tariff reform. the mere |
threat of which has been chiefly ins,ru-
mental in bringing about a condition |
which menaced the republic itself.
