Whether the small coteiis Of Republi
can politicians will be able TO defer the
passage Of the tariff bill in the Senate,
for the purpose Of creating dissensions
among the Democrats, putting the Demo
cratic party in an awkward position and
thereby. as they hope, advancing the
cause OF the Republican candidate for
the Presidency is doubtful, as matter Of
fact, and questionable, as a matter Of
policy
The politicians are trying to put a
great political party In hole, practice
Of small politics which has never been
successful On the contrary, it has
usually returned TO curse the men who
attempted It,
The people Of this country are not In

the people AS we believe aud main ain,
the people have determined not to permit
tariff for protection In two general
elections Ia which the whole country was
involved. They have declared In 1890
and again In 1892 that the tariff was too
high and should be reduced Smaller
elections, here and there over the
country, and even the election in Ohio,
lave not controvtrted this verdict,
given BY the people on this specific lues-
tioa in 1880 and 1892
The people certainly understood what
they we're voting for at those elections,
and there is no more doubt that they
would confirm It at a general election
neld now than they would confirm, II

emancipation Of slaves This being the
