ginning of another. The people who were
misled by Democratic promises and party
have learned a lesson from the Demo-
cratic party. They are now prepared to
teach the Democratic party lesson in
return. Mail and Express tRep).
The people were not misled by the
Democrats and thew knew it. The Re
publicans are trying to mislead them
! now, but they will not succeed
But even if it be granted, for the sake
of argument that the protection given the
! refining interest under the new law is
somewhat less than that under the Nc
Kinley act, the fact remains for the dis
comfiture of the Democrats that the pres
ent duties were imposed at the dictation
OF the sugar trust, and that whlie, under
the Mckinley law, sugar was cheapened
to the consumer, under the new law the
price will be increased, subject entirely to
the regulation of the monopoly.
| Bee (Rep.).
It is strange and inexpllcable thing that
the Sugar trust should become so i'm
moral under the new tariff which gives it
less protection than did the Mckinley
| law, when it was the same thing under
Mckinleyism that it is today. The
| absence of the moral air of Republican
ism probably accounts for the change.
The cardinal fact which will make the
18th OF August memorable in the history
of the nation is that on this day is begun
the actual operation Of the law of com
mef clal emancipation. Yesterday Nc
Kinleyism, with all the burdensome, ar
nitrary. and corrupt influences which it
involved. reached the term of its exist
ence. From today the course of the ma
ticn will be steadily forward in the freer
pursuit of that prosperity which our re-
sources and Cur energies once unfettered,
assure us.-N. Y. Times QOem.).
Mcninieyism was the highest point to
which protection has ever gone in this
country, and under it the nation suffered
the most severely from financial depres-
sion.
For more than year of active political
life the Republican party; the tired and
tional, Intelligent, independent, industri-
ous-and, i'll word, all that was char
acrerlstically Anerican-in the country
was, upon a vague alarm sounded by de-
signing roSues, displaced, 1t had given
the country twenty years of uninterrupt-
ed prosperity. 1t had nurtured American
genius and Ingenuity by securing Tor both
the highest remuneration they ever had IN
the worlds history.-N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser (Rep0.
One thing is certain and that is that the
Republican party will never again be plac-
cd i'll power if it is intended to make the
attempt by conjuring with Mckinleyism
The Republican members could block
the legislative wheels with little aid
from their few allies on the other side of
the chamber, and they did so for weeks
Mr. CulloniS confession serves to remind
the country that day after day for weeks
the Republican members pursued the
policy of obstructing, offering frivolous
amendments, making speeches as long as
the sacred writings of India, and all Tor
the purpose of forcing concessions to
monopoly from unwilling Democrats
Chicag Herald Qnd).
Had the Republicans been actuated by
spirit of patriotism the tariff bill would
have become law months ago.
The Democrats of. the House fought a
good fight and have received the plau-
dts Of the country No Democrat who
stood honestly and squarely by, the tariff
pledges of his party is scathed by the
and devotion the tariff bill would have
been still further damaged in the, Senate
and to them is due the many Dement'S
which were preserved in the final form OF
the bill-Atlanta Journal Oem.).
The Democrats of the House fulfilled
their promises to the country, and the
country recognizes the fact.
From the beginning to the end of the
great struggle which terminated in the
reuea! of The ubiquitous Mckinley law
Mr. Wilson gave evidence OF. the intel
lectual strength and patriotism which
characterize him. But at no time did
he approach the grandeur of his char,
acter until at the last moment he had
the courage to yield his personal pride
and opinion to the common good, and
accept less than h. hoped to achieve,
buS much more than further resistance
would have accomplished. That was a
sublime exhibition Of heroism.-Kansas
City Times (Dem).
Mr.. Wilson not only showed himself to
be a man of intellectual strength and
patriotism, but also a man who is &C
ouainted with the ways of practical poll
tics. tr
The new tariff policy is the wisest of
any we have had since the war, and the
people will speedily send calamity now,
ers to the rear as commerce, INDUSTRY anu
trade revive amongst us.-Philadelphla
Times.
1t is the first since the war that has
not been revised upwards, and the con-
sequence is great Improvement.
Now there is an end of it. The sun
this morning rose upon a land emancipat-
ed from its four years slavery. Nc
Kinleyism goes to take lis place among
the great mistakes, the cruel mistakes,
of history. The new croer of things be-
gins.-isoston Post QDem.).
The Fifty-third Congress has especially
condemned itself by the passage of the
income tax clauses of the tariff bill, but,
except for that, it has made a fairly good
record, especially when one considers
its possibilities for mischief under the lead
of the Popuiists, with whom both Repub-
licans and Democrats sought to curry IA
or.-T'hiladelphia Ledger Repo
The record of the Fifty-third Congress
is much better than its predecessor.
