TARIFF Being REsURRFCTED.

The republican country press has be-
gun to echo the cry of their city breth-
rem to make tariff the issue in the
coming campaign, to the exclusion of
the real issue of finance, That this
humbugger should again be forced up
on the people is a sad commentary upon
the intelligence of either the press or
its readers. The knowledge of econo-
my has been spread to all classes so
thoroughly in the past few years that
it is a question whether or not the peo-
pie can again be fooled by dogmatical
assurances that protection is cureall.
In the first place the people have
found out that one-hslf the population
of the United States is engaged in agri-
culture, the products of which must
necessarily seek the markets of the
world and accept the price fixed by
home and foreign countries, and that
tariff has nothing whatever to do with
the matter.
Two-thirds of the balance of popula-
ton is engaged in industrial pursuits,
and they have learned in the bitter
school of experience that while the
products of their employers have in
the past been protected in more or less
degree, no tariff bill has ever been
drafted that protected the field of labor
from invasion by the half-starved arti-
sans, paupers and jailbirds of Europe;
and that consequently the price of their
toll has been invariably fixed by a
foreign standard. Therefore tariff has
no charms for them, for, while it has
never raised wages, it has worked to in
crease the cost of manufactured neces-
stiles to the amount Of tariff thereon.
The only class that is enriched by a
protective tariff is the manufacturers
who reap augmented profits from the
consumer which imposes hardships up
on the many that the few may thrive;
and inasmuch as it has been repeatedly
shown that American products are sold
and have been sold for years in foreign
markets in competition with foreign
made goods and at a price nearly one
half below that at which they are sold
at home, it will be difficult to convince
the people that a tariff, except for
revenue, is for the country's interest.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: "On the authority
of a gentleman who enjoys the personal
confidence of the president as fully as
anyone living, the statement is made
that if congress adjOurns without cur
rency legislation along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Cleveland, he will call a
special session and force the issue up
on the country as being the one of
paramount Importance. This is a start
ling and sensational proposition, but it
is something that has not been consid-
cred by the republican, leaders, as among
the possibilities. Speaker Reed and
his lieutenants have expressed the be-
lief that congress can get through by
the middle of May and they are bend
ing their energies to the accomplish
ment of that purpose. tt has never
entered into their calculations that the
president might have a counter pro-
gramme which he would endeaYor to
force upon congress. 1t is the presi-
dents present intention to call con-
gress together in special session and
thus try to force the currency question
to the front as the campaign issue"

ALONG the path of monetary legisla-
ton for the past thirty years is strewn
q record of debsuchery, bribery and
dishonesty that has no parallel in the
history of the world. Members of the
legislative body have acquired millions
by betFaying their constituents into
the hands Of the money power, and TO-
day the chief executive and his associate
stand accused by a senate resolution
of gross dishonesty in connection with
recent ubiquitous bond issues, and in
stead Of counting an investigation are
being defended by friends who are
strsining every nerve to defeat the re-
solution Of inquiry. Surely it is time
the people we're arousing and demand
ing honesty in high places.

The Irish Champion Was an Easy Mark
For the Kangaroo.
LANGTBY, Tex, Feb. 22.-Peter Efaher
was knocked out By Bob Fitzsimmons
yesterday in the first round, after one
minute and IS seconds of actual fight
ing. Fitzsimmons played the same old
game he had so often played before,
leading on his opponent until he had
him where be wanted him, and then
landed a lightning right hand swing
on the Jaw; and it was over. It was the
indentical blow that knocked out Jim
Hall in New Orleans. For the first
part of the round Maher had the
better of it. He led often and forced
the fighting. In his eagerness to get
at FitzsimmOns he committed a pal
pable foul during a clinch, and was
warned by Referee Siler that its
repetition would cost him the fight.
Maher fought well, but he was no
match for mis- Fed-headed opponent,
who proved himself one of the craftiest
men that ever stepped in the ring,
Fitzsimmons is now, by Corbett's
action in presenting the championship
to Maher, the champion of the world,
and after the fight was over he declared
through Julian his willingness to de-
fend the championship against any
and all corners.
