Does Not Represent.
That our so-calleu representative
Government does not represent is
plainly Indicated 10y a glance at Wash
ington. The Senators treat public
opinion with the utmost contempt and
snow plainly that they have neither
respect for nor fear of their constitu-
ents. The Democrats fondly believed
that they had the Senate and could
enact such legislation as they chose.
How grievously they were mistaken is
now apparent. Ii the tariff, rs they
have claimed so long, is the true di-
viding line between parties and the
advocacy Of tariff for revenue only"
the sure test of Democracy, how do
parties appear according to this test?
Not Il single Democrat. except Mills of
Texas, is standing out for this doc
trine. All the rest are tumbling over
each other to see which can get the
most protection and the bill they are
trying to put through is such a mon
ster of false pretense and selfish bar
tar rs to make the Mckinley law al-
most respectable. It is not tariff
bill but bill of sale. The Louisiana
Senators have sold out for sugar. the
Indiana Senators for whisky, the West
Virginia Senators for iron, the Mary
landers for what they can get, the
New Ycrkers on general principles.
and Brice and others for coal. Every
fellow has an AK to grind, and is neck
deep in intrigue begging for some
trust to come and ravish him. The
spectacle Is enough to make buzzard
sick. And vet every one of these men
| was elected on a platform declaring
that protection is fraud and that it is
institutional to levy 4 tariff for any
purpose but needed revenue. If an
English parliamentary ma jority was to
do such thing as this it would create
a revolution and end in an immediate
dissolution of the chambers. In no
! other country in the world would the
! elected representatives Of the people
treat their constituents with such stud
| led contempt. -Nonconformist.
