MARYLAND DEMOCRATS DENOUNCE
DELAY.

Maryland Democrats spoke out plain
and distinctly against the delay in the
passage of the tariff bill at large and
enthusiastic meeting held in Baltimore
Moniay night. There were present
prominent business men and State Off :
Gals. The speeches were short and
clear cut and the references to Presi-
dent Cleveland and the necessity OF
prompt action on the Wilson bill were
greeted with cheers. The Baltimore
Sun has the following to say editorially
of the meeting:
No moro representative gathering has
ever assembled in Baltimore. 1t was
composed OF the best representatives of
every class in the State-representativ
OF its thought, it's energy, its activity,
Its solid business interests and capital,
Its trade and com merce-in short, of
every form of enterprise affected by
Senatorial inaction and interested in
tariff reform. 1t was not the usual
political meeting at which crowds have
been gathering together by the help OF
brass bands and torchliPht professions
and by the energetic efforts of expect
ant ward patriots Nor were the utter
oA.Soo VI VIC oiu1hofy Cou phlRu Oruor.
The meeting was composed of the
plain business people OF the State, and
the speeches were plain, business-like
and to the point. There can be no mis-
understanding the meaning OF the
Lyceum meeting. 1t means that the
business people OF Maryland are weary
OF Congressional maneuvering and de-
lay and peremptorily demand action.
In the language of the resolutions
adopted they demand that "this trifling
with question so vital to the welfare
of the people shall cease, and that
selhsh interests shall no longer be suf-
Z fered to stand in the way of the pub
lie good.
1t will be well for them II Maryland's
Representatives in Congress have the
good sense and patriotism to give these
words the weight they deserve.
AS Baltimore feels, so feels the rest
OF the country in this respect. Business
cannot revive until the tariff bill is
passed, and this cannot be done too
soon. Thisssperiod OF depression has
hung over US long enough. IL is to be
hoped that the echoes of that meeting
may be heard forty miles distant, in the
Senate chamber Of the United States,
and the members profit from the sug-
gestions there received
