Hear What Another Democratic Paper
Says About You.

Why did not Senator German join in

our contemporary ID mistaken. In the
interests Of party harmony aud future
party success we earnestly hope that q
way may be found out Of the present
disagreement between the house and
senate; and VIC arc ready to admit, as a
Democratic journal devoted 70 its
party, that as between the Wilson
bill and no tariff legislation at oil,
perhaps the Wilson bill would be
preferable. But the editors and mem
bers OF Congress who ilntter Themselves
that tho people arc yeurning for the
passage OF tho house bill with an In
vincible aud longing desire, havo MT
taken a census Of public feeling for
some time. The result OF nearly every
election since the Wilson bill was for.
mulated would provo 10 Ices enthusi'

cog has slipped somewhere in the effort
10 secure popular affection and favor for
Mr.. Wilson's measure. The people
might have dissembled their love. but
why have they been kicking us down
s,airs?"
II the ReTKcr will send a represents

in politics, but whose votes arc neces-
sary to make Democratic majorities, We
imagine II will find several people IN
Ohio county Who arc not enthusiasts
cally enamorCd OF tho house bill. II he
will come over into Mr.. Wilson's own
district We will promise to show him
hundreds OF Democrats who do not look
upon that measure as eithor tho w!sest
or best thing the Democratic party ID
capable OF. But wo will lot all that 20.
What We complain Of Is tho constant
abuse heaped upon these dissentients.
The Register mathematics Mr.. Cor.
man for simply standing whore the
party has always stood. He is ndvo'
eating tho doctrines now upon which
tho party has always made it's fights in
West Virginia. We remember the day
and II has not been very long ago either
when tho Democratic committee would
have refused TO send man into Ohio
county to advocate the doctrines OF free
trade as laid down in tho Wilson bill
Mr.. Wilson, In our judgment, never
could have boon elected to Congress IN
this district if he had announced that il
elected no would favor FREQ iron, free
coal and free lumber. He is not repro
sentiug.the sentiments OF his constltu
ents on this subject /.
Tho Mills bill was good Democratic
principle, and on bill framed on the
limo OF that instrument there would
have been no troubles in tho Democrat
ic ranks. II is because OF tho pos
election determination OF few men en-
trusted with drafting tariff bill, 10 &c
far beyond any previous declaration o
tho party In the direction OF free trade
that is responsible for the serious con
dItion in which the party Is now in
volvod. No blame attaches TO Senator
German or tho senators who stand with
him. It ia tho radical clement among
tho members Of the house upon WHOM
the blanc rests.
