WHAT THEY WANT "REsroSa,D,


Every Republican platform so far
denounces the reductions made by
the Democrats in tariff rates, and de-
mands a restoration of the tariff thus
displaced. The tide is setting so
strongly for Mckinley that the efforts
of the bosses Clarkson, Platt and
Quay, cannot stem it. With Mckinley
will come McKinleyism This is in
policies as there is of bodies The
momentum of Republican protec-
ton is carrying that party and it's leg
islation irresistibly to ultra protection.
avalanche sweeps away the rocks that
obstrucf its course.
A restoration of protection sounds
well and looks fine in the abstract;
what does it mean in the concrete?
What does it mean in cost, in dollars
and cents? That is the practical ques-
ton which American voters will have
soon to be considering. Say nothing of

THIRD MONEY TALK.
Mr. Smith and Mr.. Crisp Still Dis
cussing Finance In Georgia.

cussing Finance In Georgia.
NEWMAN, Ca, April THE third of the
financial discussions between Secretary Smith
and eX-Speaker Crisp was listened to here
today by an audience of about 1000 people.
This is Gov. Atkinson's home, and the gov
ernor, who was present, introduced the
speakers. Mr.. Crisp and Secretary Smith
came from Atlanta together yesterday, and
last night they were rendered a banquet.
They are both suffering from throat trouble
In consequence the debate set for tomorrow
has been declared off, and the two financial
champions will meet next in Albany, on Fri
day.
EX-Speaker Crisp had the opening today.
In the outset he replied to the charge that
he had not always been for silver. He said
that when he was elected speaker, he was bit
terly opposed by the East on account of his
financial views. In the last congress, he said
he appointed a silver committee, and one
member changed his views He was not re-
sponsible for that. Men often changed their
views. With this personal explanation Mr..
Crisp launched into the silver question.
The secretary of the interior was cheered on
being introduced. Judge Crisp he said, in
the outset "has sought to create the impress
sion that I am opposed to the use of both
gold and silver. I am in favor of that sys-
tenn which will give us the lagest use of
both. I deny that unlimited silver coinage
will give us bimetallism, and 1 propose to
prove it,
Secretary Smiths points were applauded
appreciatively and his conclusions produced
prolonged cheering. One reference in his re-
marks to President Cleveland awakened a
demonstration which lasted half minute.
In answering him, Mr.. Crisp remarked: {:
Brother Smith says I am humorist. I've
been in congress fourteen years and no man
will he 70 cb0 hat
humorous there. 1 have keen sense of the
ridiculous, however, and think it does no
harm to make little fun of my brother, his

OF NO EFFECT.


The Cuban resolutions passed the
house, as was to be expected, practical
ly without opposition. Their progress
through congress has served the pur-
pose intended which was to offer q
peg upon which to hang the fustian Of
jingoism, and to distract the public
attention fer the time from indis-
position and inability to legislate on
matters Of domestic concern. The
single problem kept before the eye OF
this congress has been how to get
through the session preceding
national election without doing or say
ing anything that could be construed
as an ISSUE or reflect upon the chances
of party success. Every outside ques-
tion has been welcomed as a godsend
to help while away the hours of the
country's distress.
We have already dealt sufficient
dealt sufficiently with the subject mat
ly with the subject matter Of
thes resolutions. They are, as the
lawyers say, impertinent, incom-
petent and immaterial AS far as
they express sympathy with the cause
of Cuban insurgents, they are in har-
mony with the feelings of practically
the entire nation. AS far as they at
tempt to commit this government to
any overt act in the premises, they
are without effect and void. Many
people are wondering what the
president will do when they are placed
before him. Without any knowledge
On the subject, our experience of Mr..
Cleveland in dealing heretofore with
matters of such gravity as this seems
to leave the matter in little doubt. He
will quietly ignore them. Congress has
no power to dictate to the executive
what it shall do in the matter of rec
ogniZing belligerency. That lies
wholly within the province of the ex-
ecutive department, and the president
will be guided by facts and circum-
stances which are known to him and
to the department of state, and be un-
influenced by popular clamor.
A recognition of the belligerents would
be, we believe, as we have stated be-
fore, proper, and in accord with the
ideas of the American people, Anything
further that that, any request to Spain
to acknowledge the independence of
Cuba, and any tender of our services
after having taken such action would
expose us to insult and deserved re-
buff. Mr.. Cleveland will gauge these
resolutions at their proper worth, which
is a minus quantity. He knows that
those who offered them were insincere,
and that the purpose behind them was
not patriotic, but political We have
probably heard the last Of interference
in the Cuban situation, and congress
can now turn its attention to the next
most convenient method of evading it's
obvious duty of acting upon the sub
jects of domestic Importance that it
has persistently and shamefully
neglected.
