Opinions of the Chicago Press
on the Elections.

Tribune (Rep.): The farmers have
learned during the last two years what
the value of the home-city market is to
them. They have found to be true
what they were often told but did rot
always believe, that the home market
absorbed fully 80 per cent of their pro-
duce. They found the hard times in
the cities had played havoc with that
domestic market, and having from
practical and bitter experience learned
its great importance to them, they yot,
ed for protection. the great benefits OF
which they now see clearly.
Times (Dem J: What the people
themselves want in the way of tariff
legislation, they themselves do not APP
pear to know. But it is clearly the
duty OF the Democratic party to stand
steadily in support of the tariff legis-
lation for which it is responsible and
calmly awaits vindication by the peo-
pie. Beaten with unprecedented sever
ity, the Republican party expressed its
purpose TO maintain its position as to
high protective tariff. That was the
burden of President Harrison,s mes
sage to Congress after the memorable
defeat of 1892.
Journal (Rep.): When the country
gets over the first effects, takes The
ROSTERS and I.told-you-so cards off its
hats. and settles down to serious con-
sideration of the effects of the great Re
publican victory of Noy. 6, 1894, the
next thing men will do viii! be TO take
off their coats and go to work with will
under the protecting aegis of n party
which cares more for the interests OF
American industries than for the wish
es of British manufacturers. The best
election return will be the return OF
prosperity.
Inter Ocean (Rep.): The judgment
of the country is against free trade,
against Populism, Tammanyism, an
arehy and against all the nondescrlpi
isms grouped under anti-Republicau
banners. There was no hasty iudv.
ment in the final decision. Opinion
was made up after investigation and
experience, and there never has beer

the other than was rendered at the

Record (lnd,): This doubtful ele-
ment has now Joined with the Republic
cans and in the severe ehastisement
administered to the Democracy there
is lesson which the Republicans, il
