in principle, but may be too high in

the government IL a mere incident,
and the principle of paying
bonus out of the pockets
of others to manufacturers is right.
That was the Issue settled by the peo'
pie in their votes in 1870 and 1892, and
it was settled just as the Democratic
national platform declared and just as
Mr.. Cleveland had declared when he
sacrificed the presidency by boldly
asserting that the whole principle OF
a protective tariff was wrong, uncon-
stitutional and dishonest, and unless
this congress can obey the mandates
of the people and iLgrait the doctrines
OF the tariff plank on the policy and
workings of the government we had
better suffer postpOnement o! the
whole question until the people have
an opportunity to elect congress
that will obey their mandates. We
know that this is even an extreme

we are tired of compromises that
mean nothing and settle nothing on
this question and we regard the set
