MT. wilson, Is not Sucn a COmmunlca-
ton as the President of the United States
ought to have written-Chicago Inter
Ocean Rep.)
The letter was really a praisworthy doc
ument and will serve as drawing atten-
ton to the fact that the Democrats are
still in favor of lower tariff.
With the enactment of the new tariff
the political orators will ask us to rejoice
that we are only conservatively taxed
for the benefit of the protected manu-
to arouse our Indignation by depicting
the lamentable state of those manufacture
ers. despoiled of a portion of the booty
which, under Republican domination, they
have filched from us The play is as old
as the two parties. Perhaps the result
this fall will show that it is played out
and that the people will turn aside from
both views of the tariff question and elect
| their representatives on the silver issue
| Chicago Times Qem)
One of the hopeful signs Of the times is
that the people of the land are giving
some thought to the silver question.
If his (CIeveIand's) signature had been
necessary to give the force of law to the
| bill, he would have subscribed it. But
silent acquiescence has the same effect,
and in view of his declaration in the
Wilson letter. that is all that could have
been reasonably expected now.-Kansas
/ City Times CDem.)
No blame will attach 70 the president for
not attaching his signature to the tariff
| bill. His disapproval of it would have
been a disappointment to the entire Dem
ocratic party. Things are well as they are.
! The adhesion of England would make the
/ success of a bimetallic experiment a GER
tainty. But if the money-lenders' COM
biration that controls London and the
e.ArA 1N1.rNly
1 a vigorous effort shuld be made to unite
the rest of the comm ercial world in Il
bimetallic agreement. The United States,
Germany ard the Latin union are strong
enough to control even the immense mass
of silver in the world.-San Francisco EX-
aminer (Dem.)
! 1t is desirable that other nations unite
with the United States in placing silver
ON an equality with gold as a money
metal, but if they will not then let the
! United States give this country free coin
age anyhow.
! The ten days which the constitution
gives a president to consider a bill has
expired. The president had not The cour-
age to sign the bill, neither had he the
courage to veto It, The use he made of
his constitute nal power was to add ten
days of wearisome suspense--San Fran
/ cisco Call (Rep) npt
| The tariff bill is law and Mr.. Cleve-
lands action or inaction is matter of no
/ consequence now, as far as the law is
! concerned.
| If our friend, Ex-Governor Francis, or
! the present governor, Stone, or Tarsney

fraternity. imagine for q minute that
Senator Vest has hurt himself with the
Democrats Of the state, they are grieY-
ously off the track.-St. Louis Star Say
I ingS.-Qtep.)
/ 1t will be hard task in Missouri to
pun down their senatorial Vest.
! Gerrymandering, unjust and detestable
/ in a legislature, whatever it's political
complexion. becomes doubly obnoxious in
a constitutional convention. The object
of constitutional apportlonment should
be to district the state upon a principle
and plan calculated to secure compact
without regard to political advantage
/ New York World (Dem.)
To gerrymander state is to steal the
political rights of a large part of the
people.
There is plenty of money eagerly seek
! ing investment at low rates of interest in
/ safe enterprises. There is nothing to ser
tously disturb that confidence in the future
which is the essential condition of a gen
eral disposition TO invest idle capital in
1 industry and trade except the threats of
! free traders, the free silver men and the
cheap money ,agitators, to renew Their, war
On the industries of the country and the
! conditions of a stable curerncy.-St. Paul
| Pioneer Press (Rep.)
| The Republicans having used the cry
| of free trade with more or less success
to brighten the people are now trying to
scare them with the cry of free silver. The
people have learned that the first was
bugaboo and they will learn that the
second is, give the country free silver.
Legislators will be bought by free passes,
! by the disbursement of Hobbies, and by
campaign contributions so long as the
/ people consent to elect purchasable men
! TO represent them. The real source of the
| evil is the combination of ignorance and
apathy that prevails regarding the char
acter of men nominated for seats in the
legislature and the subserviency of voters
| in giving their support TO the regular
candidates of their party machine, regard
less OF their character. The malady is in
| the body polite, and the remedy must be
applied there to work an effectual cure
/ New York Sun DEM.
! The people themselves are responsible
fer the corrupt men who get into the
! legislatures When a public official is
/ found to be corrupt he should be tabooed
for ever after
| Speaking of free art and the tariff the
New York Herald Qnd) says:
! On the whole it is thought that it is
a step in the right direction and will be
beneficial to American art. Some artists
| say, however, that until foreign engrav-
lngs, etchingss,. autographs, bronzes and
arllsts mattel al are admitted free of
duty tie tariff cam. OF be said to give free
| art
All these thirgs should be placed on the
/ free list.
| In permitting the new bill to become
law without his signature the president
fas done what was very generally expect
! nevertheless, continued under more or less
! restraint, because there. was no official
! authority for the belief that the president
would take this course, and it was felt
land might have a surprise in store for
the country.-Omaha Bee (Rep.)
Thera was never any danger of a veto
for one moment. The country at large
felt sure of this.
Mr.. Reeds doctrine. therefore. is that
the action of the peoples representative
Should be guided not by desire to give
the people righteous laws and a just gov
ernmsnt, which will protect the interests
or all, but by a desire to promote the
Interests of certain business enterprises
IN their states.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
CDern.)
This characterizes Reeds doctrine very
correctly Money is the basis of it and
morality and right are not considered of
/ Importance.
