piete ohiiteratinn.
From the letter of President cleye.
!and to Mr.. catchings, Of Mississippi.
bearing date August q, 1t seems that
the democratic party is indeed 4
meaner organization that It's most biz.
ter enemies have ever accused Il a he.
ing The president uses the following
paragraph in his letter:
@rhe trusts and combinatlors-the Commune
hism OF pelt-whose Vaccinations have pre-
tenseu " from reaching the success We desery-
Cd should not DO forgotten or forgfyen wa
shall recover from our astonishment at .hsir
exhibition OF power. and II then the question
" torced upon Us whether they shall submit 10
the FREQ legislative will OF the peoples repre-
sentatlves, or shall dictate the laws
winch the people must obey, we will accent
AND settle that issue as one involving the In
ssgrity and safety OF American instructions
n careful analysts OF the forego-
ing one cannot avoid seeing veritable
JekyH and Hyde duality. The presi-
dent in this sentence arraigns the dem-
ocrats of the senate as guilty of machi-
nations and combinations deserving of
such terrible consequences that they
shall never be forgotten or forgiven.
The crime committed by these demo-
Gratis OF the senate is none other than
an agreement upon schedule of rates
which divides among them the
equities, the sugar trust thrown in.
Perhaps no living person knows more
about how the combines and trusts
managed this dicler with democratic
senators than does President cleye-
land himself Be that as it may, how
ever, he understands that crime was
committed, and he so states in the
foregoing paragraph. We understand
the president, under the constitution,
has the prerogative of correcting
wrongs and preventing frauds from
being practiced upon the people
through legislation, in the right OF
veto, which was placed in his hands
by the fathers of the country. The
knotty problem to the reader OF this
paragraph will be this: If the senate
is guilty of passing the law, how can
the president escape just censure for
allowing such an enactmentto become
operative, When ne mas the power by q
single stroke of the pen to send It
back to congress for correction, amend
ment. etcp
The infamies of the present tariff
law as it goes upon the statute books,
carrying with 1t great crime and lis
consequences, the resulting indict-
ment must include the name Of Grover
Cleveland as an accessory after the
fact.
1t was fairly to be presumed that
Grover cleveland's six years of execu-
tive authority would have taught him
the impossibility OF fooling all the
people all the time. though he may be
able to fool part of the people a part
of the time; but this letter, which Is in
the form of an apology for his own
action in allowing this bill to become
q law, only shows him as deserving a
greater degree of condemnation, for In
1t he presents clear analysis of the
crime committed, and OF the evil re-
suits which will necessarily attend
the execution of the democratic tariff
law
