FOUL INFLUENCES.

But there are provisions in this bill that
are not in line with honest tariff reform,
and it contains inconsistencies and crudi-
ties which ought not to appear in tariff or
laws of any kind. Besides, there were, as
you and well know, incidents accompany
ing the passage of the bill through Congress
which made every sincere tariff refoimer
unhappy, while influences surrounded it in
its latter stages and interferred with its
final construction which ought not to be
recognized or tolerated in Democratic tariff
reform councils
And yet, Notwithstanding all its vicissi-
tudes and all the bad treatment it received
at the hands of pretended friends, it pre-
sents vast improvement to existing con-
ditions. 1t will certainly tighten many
tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon
the people. 1t is not only barrier against
the return of mad protection, but it furn-
ishes vantage ground from which must
be waged further aggressive operations
against protected monopoly and Govern
mental favoritism.
take my place with the rank and file
Of the Democratic party who believe in
tariff reform and who know what it is; who
refuse to accept the results embodied in
this bill as the close of the war; who are
not blinded to the fact that the livery of
the Democratic reform has been stolen and
worn in tie service of Republican protec-
ton, and who have marked the places
where the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in their
hour of might.

WHY HE DID NOT SIGN.

When the formulation of legislation
which, it was hoped, would embody Demo-
cratic ideas of tariff reform was lately en-
tered upon by the Congress, nothing was
further from my anticipation than result
which could not promptly and enthusi-
astically endorse.
1t is therefore with feeling of the ut-
most disappointment that 1 submit to a
denial of this privilege.
l do not claim to be better than the
masses of my party, nor do wish to avoid
any responsibility, which on account of the
passage of this law. L ought to bear as a
member of the Democratic organization.
Neither will permit myself to be separ-
ated from n party to such an extent as
might be implied by veto of the tariff leg
islation, which, though disappointing, is
chargeable to Democratic effort.

SCORING THE TRUSTS.

The trusts and eombinations-the COM
munism of pelf-whose Vaccinations have
prevented us from reaching the success we
deserved, should not be forgotten nor for
given. We shall recover from our astonish-
ment at their exhibition of power and then
it the question is forced upon us whether
they shall submit to the free legislative will
of the peoples representatives or shall die
tate the laws which the people must obey,
we will accept and settle that issue as one
involving the integrity and safety of Amer
ican institutions.
l love the principles of true Democracy
because they are founded on patriotism and
upon justice and fairness towards all inter
ests. am proud of my party organization
because it Is conseryatively sturdy and per-
sistent in the enforcement of its principles
Therefore. 1 do not despair of the efforts
made by the House of Representatives to
supplement the bill already passed by fur
ther legislation, and to have ingrafted upon
it such notifications as will more nearly
meet Democratic hopes and aspirations.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.

cannot be mistaken as to the necessity
of free raw materials as the foundation of
logical and sensible tariff reform. The ex-
tent to which this is recognized in the leg
islation already secured is enc OF its en-
couraging and redeeming features; but it is
vexatious to recall that, while free coal and
iron ore haye been denied us, a recent letter
of the Secretary of the Treasury discloses
the fact that both might baye been made
free by the annual surrender of only about
100000 Of unnecessary revenue.
am sure that there is common habit
of Understanding the Importance of free
raw materials in tariff legislation, and of
regarding them as only related to conces-
sions to be made to our manufacturers The
truth is their influence is 30 far-reaching
that, if disregarded, a complete and bene-
ficent scheme Of tariff reform cannot be
successfully inaugurated
Gloucester County Democrat., 1894-08-30
A BLESSING.

When we give to our manufacturers free
raw materials we unshackle American en-
terprise and ingenuity, and these will
open the doors of foreign markets to the
reception of our wares and give opportunity
for the continuous and remunerative en-
ployment of American labor.
With the materials cheapened by their
freedom from tariff charges, the cost of
their product must be correspondingly
cheapened. Thereupon justice and fairness
to the consumer would demand that the
manufacturers be obliged to submit to such
readjustment and modification of the
tariff upon their finished goods as would
secure to the people the benefit of the re-
duced cost of their manufacture and shield
the consumer against the exaction of inor-
dinate profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw ma
terials and just and fearless regulation
and reduction Of the tariff to meet the
changed conditions would carry to every
humble home in the land the blessings of
increased comfort and cheaper living.
GUARD AGAINST TREACHERY.
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely and well for tariff re-
form should be exhorted to continue the
struggle, boldly challenging to open war
fare, and constantly guarding against
treachery and halfheartedness in their
camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until it
is honestly and fairly settled in the interest
and to the benefit of patient aud long
suffering people. Yours very truly.
