Arizona republican., 1894-11-02

repudiation of the policy that has brought the whole country to the verge of ruin.
 They are for the Republican candi- date for congress for the reason that the business men all over the country are for Repu blican principles. The eyes of thousands of people are turned toward Arizona. If the territory wheels in line with the balance of the country prosperous times are assured. That ie sufficient reason why successful busi- ness men and taxpayers of Arizona will support Murphy and Doran.
 Natio nally the result. of the congress sionsl elections to be held throughout the United States next Tuesday will determine whether we shall, or shall not, have settled business policy dur ing the ensuing three years. It has been proclaimed time and again by the Democratic leaders. both in and out of congress, that the enactment ot the new tariff bill was but the first step toward a wider and more general sys- tenn of free trade. This was evident from the anxiety with which the Dem- ocratic leaders of the house of repre- sentatives rushed their ':popgun" bills into the senate, and it was only the conservativenees of the Democratic sen ators that checked the ruin of our iron and coal industries.
 Should the Democratic party control the next congress we may rest assured, Senator Hill to the contrary notwith standing, that tariff agitation will be continued and more or less rabidly dis cussed till 1897. Any new tariff enact ment that may occur between now and then will most certainly be in the di- rection of lower duties, thus tending to disturb conditions that now exist and which have already become more or less settled since the tariff agitation ceased. A continuance of the anxiety and uncertainty that have been ex- perienced during the past two years will shake the confidence Of manufac- tories and will limit the employment of labor-undesirable business factors with which we have had too much fa- miliarity of late.
 The election of Republican ma- jority to congress will prevent any further tariff legislation tending toward free trade, and thus will guarantee, to both business and labor, the assurance of an undisturbed maintenance of the present basis upon which capital may be placed in circulation and labor may find employment. It is not expected that the Republican party will secure 6 majority in congress large enough to pass tariff bill over the veto of Presi- dent Cleveland that would restore ade- quate protection to American labor and American industries. And even if such fortunately be the case there will be nothing in the arrangement of higher duties to check industries that are now operating under the low duties.
 The only danger that the people have to fear is the election of 8 Democratic majority to congress, and it is the duty of the hour to vote against all the can- didates who are not pledged to protec- tion, because they would undoubtedly rush neadlong to throw our markets open still wider to the manufacturers of Europe. What we want is a positive assurance that there will be no further tariff disturbances till 1897, and this can be guaranteed solely by the election to congress of Republican candidates. Every manufacturer, every merchant, every wage-earner is directly concerned in this question and can, by voting for Republican candidates for congress. help to establish solid business condi- tions.
 Arizona must go into the Union as a solid, substantial commonwealth. She must elect the Republican ticket from the top to the bottom.
 AN OBJECT LESSON FOR ARIZONA To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.
