The letter was in line with the Chi
cago platform, and on that the Demo-
Gratis went to the people and won and
now expect their support.
Where this cheap bluff will leave the
party it takes no gifted prophet to fore
see Where it leaves the tariff bill is
not SO plain. Mr.. Cleveland brushes
all the Senate amendments aside ex-
cept the abominable sugar duty, which
, he advocates, and tells the House to
putting coal and iron on the tariff list.

There was no bluff about it. The
president stands in this matter just
where the people and their direct repre-
sentatives in the House stand.
The New York Times CDem.). in com
menting on the presidents letter says:
He is right when he says: az believe
these absolutely necessary conditions to

ence." In such strong words he but
expresses his view of his responsibility
! not merely as d party leader, but as the
single representative, of undoubted
authority, of the prevailing sentiment
of the nation.
That Mr.. Cleveland expressed the
views Of the majority of his party there
is no doubt.
| Threats and vaporings or digniffed
drapings in the senatorial mantle do
not constitute valid argument. The
fact remains. as the president declares,
that the Senate bill falls far short of

The Senate bill certainly falls far
short of the demands of the people

POLITICAL NOTES.

The one thing that has absorbed pub
lie attention during the rast week has
been the letter of Mr. Cleveland to
Chairman Wilson. 1t has created as
much stir in political circles as the pres
lident's famous tariff message of 1887.
AT present it is the main topic of COM
ment with the press. The general SEN
timent of the country is well represent
ed in the editorial comments we give

The New York Herald Qnd) review
ing the presidents letter, says:
Protection" must go, gradually, if
possible, but in, any case it must go.
With our commerce now terribly pros
trated, business paralyzed and agricul-
ture compelled to sell its products for
barely more than the actual cost of pro-
duction, the cry of the suffering Amer
lean people is to roll off the burden of
unequal and unnecessary protective
taxation. The Senate must give us back
the Wilson bill in it's simplicity and in
teTrity.
That is sound doctrine. This now ia
nous letter will give protection big
push towards it's final downfall

Tariff legislation is, always has been,
and always must be, matter of con-
cession and compromise, and in that
light it can be approached with dignity.
Transformed into a matter of discipline
and coercion it bristles with every form
Iof difficulty The publication of the
presidents letter amounts to an accusa-
ton against every senator who voted
for the amended bill and it offers them
no alternative save that of acknowl-
edging their guilt or reaffirming with
renewed emphasis the attitude from
which it is sought to dislodge them
Washington Post Qnd).
Mr. Cleveland,s utterances are gener-
Tally couched in strong language. 1t goes
with his character. Too much has been
made of his condemnation of the Senate

than was meant

Mr. Cleveland's letter to Mr.. Wilson
will doubtless commend itself to a large
majority of Democrats both in Congress
and throughout the country. It affords
encouragement to the members of the
House of Representatives who are con-
tending for Democratic principles, and
lis a deserved rebuke to trust senators
who have compelled the Senate to vfo-
late Democratic pledges.-N. Y. World
Oem.).
The House bill represents what the
people want much better than the Sem
ate bill. There may have to be compro-
misses on both sides before bill is fin
ally agreed upon

Some may consider Clevelands con-
domination of the Senate bill inappropri-
ately severe; some may think he yields
too much to the demands for a sugar
tariff; some may think his objections
to the income tax unfortunate, but in
the main it must be admitted that he
has sounded the bugle call just at the
time when new courage and restored
hope are very necessary to the cause of
tariff reform.-Omaha World-H Herald
Qnd.).
Mr. Cleveland's letter to Chairman
Wilson has the true ring, and deserves
to be placed alongside his famous tariff
message of 1887

There can be no hostile criticism of
the presidents plea for prompt action
on the tariff bill. The recent petition of
Chicago merchants and business men
shows how eagerly such action is
awaited in commercial quarters-Chi-
cago Times Oem).
The plea for prompt action on the
tariff bill was opportune. Mr.. Cleveland
did nothing more than voice the senti-
ment of the people.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-07-25

There is no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland
represents the sentiment of his party
and the general sentiment of the
country in his desire that the instruc-
lions upon which this Congress was
elected shall be faithfully carried out
He is also clearly right in his intirna-
tion-which might have been made
stronger-that the opposition to the
sugar tax, an entirely sound measure
of revenue, has been made shield for
the defense of the combined monopolies

The letter of President Cleveland to

published in the Herald yesterday, is
one of the most extraordinary produc-
tons that ever emanated from the exc

within the legitimate province of pres

SHOULD BE AMENDED.

1t is claimed by Postmaster Dayton, Of New
York city, that the stamps on many of the
letters mailed in that city will not stick, and
that the letter boxes are frequently ''deep with
letters without stamps, and stamps without
letters" The trouble seems TO be in the
cumming Of the stamps made in the Bureau
OF Engraving and Printing. and of course the
complaint will apply to postage stamps used
in all parts OF the country.
The law requires that a letter not stamped
shall be held for postage unless the envelope
bears the name and address of the writer,
when shall be returned to him marked
"heid for postage" The absurdity Of such a
law becomes exceedingly provoking when
the writer Of letter has affixed the required
postage and the letter is not forwarded be-
cause the stamp would not stick.
OF the seventy countries that make up the
Universal Postal Union only thirteen of them
require payment OF postage on letters in ad-
vance. and only four of these thirteen coun-
tries-the United STATES, Canada, Mexico, and
Spain-are OF any great importance to the
Union. All the Eother countries. including
sia, and every other important nation for
ward thier letters either with or without the
legal postage.
There can be no doubt that optional pay
ment Of letter postage would work as well
here as in any Of the countries where it is
now in practice 1t costs more TO open and
return "held for postage letters in the Dead
Letter Office than would be lost in postage
were letters forwarded unpaid. There are
perhaps 5000 letters annually held for post
age. OF which nearly 10O, 900 are sent TO the
Dead Letter Office in compliance with the
law
The attention of Congress is called to this
important and needed change in our postal
laws. and also to the fact that the poor quail
ity OF our stamps is causing annoyance and
delay in the forwarding of business corre-
spondence.

diamonds are Hard

After perfect rubies and emeralds, and per-
haps after great pearls, comes the diamond in
value This; too, has a range of color, the
most priced being red ,lblue, green and water
white, while brown or gray tinges are not
quite so highly esteemed. The koh-i-Noor oi
1925 carats ranks low in point of size with
some of the world great stones-for instance
with the Great Mogul, 279 carats in weight.
Diamond is the hardest mineral known, brit
tie though it be; aci is do not affect it, ard 1t
is also the only combustible gem. 1t has
high refractiye and dispersive powers

phorescent by the action of light. 1t usually
occurs as an eight-sided crystal.

Three decades mark but q brief period in
the life Of n nation or in the procession of
historic events. To those that were partici-
pants in, or witnesses OF the tremendous con-
hict it seems but as yesterday when the word
came that Lee had surrendered TO Grant; that
the Confederacy was thing of the past, and
that peace once more reiSned IN the land.
Out Of that strife grew much bitterness. 1t
could not have been otherwise. Men who
had fought for what they deemed right, could
not with the laying down Of the sword have
surrendered also their convictions or buried the
resentment resulting from being forced to yield
to superior force. Nor could those on the other
side be expected 10 sink into oblivion all the
sacriEces they had 10 make in order that the
Union might be preserved

ouently stirred and intensified by designing
men for selfish purposes, sIrang the weed Of

Time. the great gardener. has uprooted it at
last, and its disappearance is signalized by
the fact that the defenders OF the Union will
be fraternally received and be the guests OF
those who me. them on the field OF battle.
Love Of country, faith in a common des-
tiny, and the respect which at last all manly
men have for each other, have done all this.
