THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

The call tor the annual convention or
the National Republican League was
issued today. 1t invites those who be-
lieye in honest elections, the faithful
maintenance of the difference between
American and European wages, who be-
lieve in the established policy of pro-
lection TO American industries and TO
American workingmen and in
the Republican policy of reci-
procity, who gratefully remember the
union soldier in his hour of need as well
as in the day Of his sacrifice, who be-
lieve in sound money and the use Of
both gold and silver as a standard money
and that "the purchasing power of the
dollar, whether silver. gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal" are cor
daily invited to join the clubs
forming this league. If this platform
does not sweep the country next fall
The NEWS has wrongly estimated the
trend of public opinion. The League
call very succinctly places the issue be-
lore the people When III says:
"Dazzled by the glittering promises of
Democracy, and led astray by sophistry
and hypocrisies, the voters of the country
in 1892 decided upon change OF ma
tional administration. Democratic con-
troll and sectional rule are again com
plete in the National Government, and
starvation for labor and ruin for capital
prevail as a result OF the policies and in
tluences that dominate the Democratic
party.
"The hallucinations Of 1892 are over.
Facts have upset theories, and the people.
weary Of this Tariff-tinkering, bond
issuing, debt-increasing, ,Treasury-deplet-
ing, business ss-paralyzing, wage-reducing,
Queen-restoring and un American adj
ministration," now turn instinctive.y
to the party that saved the nation in its
hour of peril and demonstrated its
mastery ability in giving the United
States 80 years Of prosperity unparalleled
in the history of nations.
"Again it becomes the mission aud
duty of the grand old party to meet
national emergency with the
highest patriotism. The party
deplores the necessity, but rises
TO the occasion. The struggle
Tor liberty, progress, fair wages and
.all that America promises did not end
with the defeat of 1892. The fight must
and will go on. To this end the national
committee of the league cordially in
vites all patriotic citizens"
The people are thoroughly aroused
because of the distress that has come
upon us since the advent of
the Democracy TO power, and
they rightly attribute TO that party the
responsibility for the depression. The
Democracy has shown itself incapable
of governing or of graphing with the
affairs of the nation in way to inspire
confidence. Not pledge that has been
made has been redeemed and the
people turn for relief, as the League call
declares, to the party which for 30 years
has wisely governed the nation, encour-
aging American industries and devel-
oping the resources Of our big country
by the most benificent and statesman
like legislation. And the people will
not appeal in vain.

A stop Mouth Policy.
Portland Press.


II is difficult TO discover any principle or any
general policy that has governed the finance
committee In amending the tariff bill, unless
1t be the general policy of stopping
the mouths of the remonstraDts.
80 far as we can discover the
changes are but so many sops. Taxed sugar
Is a sop for CofIery and Blanchard of Louis
lana. taxed coal n sop for German, taxed iron
ore a sop for Pugh. and taxed collars and cuffs
a sop for Hill and Murphy. The bill as amend :
ed will probably yield more revenue than in
its original form. but with the income tax
& House committee claimed that IL
would yield all the revenue needed in the form
I'm which it was passed by the House; and the
income tax is still feature of it. 1t surely is
is not n bill for revenue only as IL has
been amended, and there is still great deal
of protection in IL. IL is therefore no less a
violation OF the Chicago platform than il was
befora

II will he observed that while the estimate
income from customs duties is much smaller
under the Wilson bin than under the McKin-
ley law, the internal revenue receipts are
much larger. In other words the Democratic
economic policy is relieving the foreigner of
taxes in order TO load them on 10 the
shoulders of American citizens. This is called
"statesmanship," but there is shorter and
plainer word which fits il better-idiocy.
