applauding the wisdom of Mr.. r. S. Turk,
one OF his counsel, in refusing to permit

call into existence the setting aside of all
law restraint, than any we ever read.

Our contention is that churches should not

We are not sure that we clearly appre.
bend the position Of the Dispatch. It can
not mean exactly what appears Oh the face
of its contention, for the case Of the First
Presbyterian church where Richmond S
City Hall now stands, woald, it seems to
us, upset its position. In this case while
it was still a church aid while its congre-

But even if we could concede the Dis

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE THIS
FALL.

No matter what the Democratic Nation
al platform of 1892 promised OF did not
promise, the roters Who cast their ballotf
for Cleveland in that year eXpec ed and
voted for genuine tariff reform. They
will not take the conservative" tariff bill
of the log rolling Democratic Senators.
The Democratic members of the House.
ing by going before the people with such s
bill as that. Their hest policy is to tai c
the Senate bill when it gets to the House.
substitute the origin Wilson bill for it.
and send that back to the Senate. II it i
rejected let them stand firm, and if ther
is consequently no tariff bill let them g.
before the people with a true statement of
the situation. Let them say frankly, hero
we are: we have tried to meet your eXpec
tation by radical tariff reform but Were
defeated in the Senate 10y Protection Dem
ocrats and Republicans; the best thin.
you can do is to re-elect us-that is il yot
want tariff reform. Certainly you Cal
have no hope Of getting it by electine
of the Democratic Protection Senators eX-
pire defeat them for reelection. It will
be some time to wait? So it will, but tlt
country can better afford to wait until il
gets rid OF the Protective Senators than tt
turn the House over to the Republicans
from whom they will never get a lowe
tariff.
This sort of argument will have the mer
itef honesty. 1t can be used by any real
tariff reformer and will be listened to with
respect. AS to the so called tariff reform
ers in the House who have mixed their re
form with protection, we hardly know OF
enlargement to suit their case. If they
urge their protection of local interests
their Republican competitors can give them
odds at that and beat them. The action
we have suggested is for tariff reformers
and not for those Democratic Congressmel
that have gotten SO mixed one can hardly
tell What they are, and who will in all prob
ability be defeated.
