REPUBLICAN TICKET.


There 10 but ono course for tho TO-
publicans iu Congress to pursue. It is
tho course to which their principles and
their duty to the people Of the country
obligate them-to use every legitimate
means to dcfcat tho Democratic tariff
bill, whether it ia tho infamous compro-
misc which passed tho senate. the mon
strosity which passed the house, or n
bill framed out of thom both. 1t Is
their duty to fight the destructive and
unbusincss.Iike measure which must be
tho outcome Of the present situation,
step by stop, and accomplish its defeat
if possible.
Tho people do not want the sort OF
tariff reform which tue Democratic pol
iticians aud theorists propose to give
thom. They have said so by their
votes in every election that has beeu
held during the pendaucy Of the meas
ure: they have said go by petitions to
Congress, and through delegations OF
workingmeu and women aud business
mon who appeared before tho commit
tees at Washington. They will say so
again in November. Any bill that can
now be brought forward rs u rcsult OF a
compromise will no d makeshitk 1t
will not be endorsed by the country; it
will not meet tho demands OF either
faction OF tho Democratic party. Tho
people Of tho United States are, more
than ever, realizing that they do not
want the change the Democratic iucom.
pctents at Washington are endeayoring
to give them.
The Republicans in Congress are not
in the majority, but it is possible that
they will find it in their power to do
feat the fraudulent product Of warning
factions OF the Democrscy-the product
that, disguised as tariff reform" bill,
they hope to pass. not because they be-
lievo in it. but TO satisfy tho campaign
demand OF politicians for "any kind OF
n bill, Just so it's bill" And what a
monstrous demand that is-n demand
that tho interests Of the country shall
&. DO trilled with by "any kind" OF legisIa'
ton, simply because tho Democrats de.
mani it us II campaign necessity.
The country is not in distress because
OF tho fear Of an adjournment without
tho passage OF the strangely and won.
derfuily constructed, unbusiness.like
measure such us would DO the outcome
OF at agreement under tho present cir.
cumstances. ORIy tho Democratic poll.
ticians are distressed on that account.
The following from tho New York
Pres, concerning the duty Of tho Re-
publicans in Congress, is both timely
and to tho point:
"Lct no Republican in Congress
imagine for moment that the people
want tho senate bill. let no Republic.
can imagine Tor u moment that the
passage Of the senate bill, auy more
than Of the Wilson bill. would please
tho Republican party or relieve the
miserics OF the people and tho paralysis
Of trade. Tho snnNte bill ia aectional
measure, conceived in malignity and
aimed to destroy great northern indus.
trios upon which millions of Americans
from tho Atlantic to Vancouver depend
forsupport. Tho whole country is pray.
ing for the relief that the complete de-
feat OF bourbon tariff legislation nIonn
can give. In the name OF humanity
aud Of patriotism that relief should no
longer lie dunicd 1t is tho emphatic,
tho imperative duty OF Congress 10 kill
tho Bourbon bill, adjourn aud go home.
Then from one end Of the land to the
other will be heard the hum OF busy
workshops aud tho JOYFUL thanks from
millions Of happy workers. rescued from
poverty. hardship AMI despair. XIII
