HFLP1Ne A HIaHwAYMAN.

There is a highwayman, says a
Washington dispatch, "naned Uncer-
talnty who is holding up the business
men OF the country, and be is the most
dread highwsyman Of all. Anything in
business is better than uncertainty
When a man cannot go backward or
forward, when ne does not know to-day
under what conditions he will hays 10
work tomorrow, he is infinitely worse
of than II he knows his business could
not prosper and that he would have 20
close 10 OUT There is undoubtedly a
widespread business stagnatiou, and
there will undoubtedly be a widespread
political condemnation Of this cOndi-
ton"
And all the condemnation must fan
upon the Re publican Senators who axe
backing up this highway robber in his
business aud helping him to do his
holding-up.
But for the flibustering and obstruc-
ton Of the Republican Senators the
tariff oil would long ere this have been
law and tbe business Of the
country would have been
restored TO its normal condition. The
people Of the country know it aud the
prediction quoted above, that there will
be a widespread political condemnation
Of the party which brought this condi-
tion about will certainly be verified,
but she Democrats will not suffer for it.
They have a tariff bin which they are
ready at any time TO vote upon. The
Republicans say they cannot pass IT..
Re that as it may, they are ready to
vote and as soon as vote is taken, no
matter how IL results, uncertainty viii
cease. For keeping the country in
suspense, continuing the stagnation that
prevails in business and preventing the
return OF prosperity. the Republican
party and it alone is TO blame.
The Democrats are doing all they can
70 settle the tariG agitation and settle it
properly. The Rrpubiicans are using
avery effort, ar successfully, too, to
keep tho count suspense.
