Democratic Tariff Principle Is Right.
The McKinleyites defend their threat
20 unsettle business with another Pc
riod of congressional dickering with
protected interests by saying: "Vote
This year for higher duties and settle
the tariff question for once and all.
Restore the Mckinley law and then We
shall have no more of this agitation for
free trade"
The idea that going back to protec-
tion will take the tariff question out OF
politics is a grave mistake. There can
rot, and will not, be truce on the is-
sue between high taxes and low taxes;
retween cheap goods and dear goods;
between restricted trade and free COM
merce with all the world. SO long rs
the system of raising public revenues
operates to benefit a small number of
persons at the expense of the whole
people; so long as customs taxes foster
monopolies by shutting out foreign
competition; so long as heavy duties
increase the cost of the peoples neces-
sites, there will be a tariff question on
which parties will be divided
There can be no compromise between
the men who believe that protection IS
favOritism, paternalism and robbery
under the form of law, and the men
who claim that it is a sound public
policy. One view or the other is right
The Democrats are convinced that
taxes should be ST. levied as to yield
the largest revenue with the least in
jury to trade and industry. The Re
publicans profess to believe that for
eign commerce is an evil which should
be restricted. if not altogether prohib-
tied. Even if the latter theory should
be endorsed by the people this year, it
would by no means prove that it was
right. The best interests of ninety-nine
of the American people
are on the side of low tariff taxes and
enlarged commerce. Sooner or later
they will find this out. and demand that
every vestige of protection be de-
The Democratic tariff principle is en-
tirely right and just, and is therefore
bound to prevail throughout all the
world at no distant time. A Republi-

money to meet these expenses? Then
it proceeds to answer its own question
by intimating that Senator ThurstOn
is right in averring that Candidate
Bryan is in the pay of a wealthy syndi-
cate of silver mine owners.
1t is time to eliminate drivel of this
sort from politics. Any sensible person
knows that as the candidate of his par
ty, Mr.. Bryan has back of him the re-
sources of the national Democratic
committee. Naturally, that Organiza-
tiOn will have fair sum of money at
its command, and it is both common
sense and custom for it to pay the eX-
penses of the head of the ticket, espe-
cially while travelling.
While it is true that the free silver
candidate is not so well fixed financial
ly as is the head of the single gold
standard ticket, the recollection as to
where Major McKinley's wealth came
from is not greatly to his credit. After
McKinley's disastrous failure, when it
was found that he had upon fortune

the extent of $4,000 it will be remem-

any person or newspaper to attempt
to make campaign material of the fact

it presented fully as much entertainment to
the few who were privileged to witness 1t as
did the circus itself to the larger audiences
later in the week
The members of the two clubs who were to
take part in the rehearsal gathered about the
big hall clad in listers and sweaters. for the
atmosphere far from being as warm as the
athletes liked. and they presented peculiar
appearance when they strutted about the room
with a small section Of pink tights showing
beneath their heavy winter garments. The
band was there in force. and the musicians
found as much trouble In keeping time to the
movements Of the horses those intelligent
animals did in keeping pace to the strains Of
1.-The Sidewalks Of New-York' and kindred dit
ties. But circus bands and circus horses must
get used to each other before they can work
in harmony, and the few people who saw the
troubles Of men and beasts were willing to
overlook this little discrepancy.
1t was just o'clock when Robert Whit
taker, the equestrian director OF the enter
tainment, entered the ring and signalled to the
leader Of the band that he should play a quick
step. Whittakers garments were far re-
moved from the usual habiliments OF the ord-
nary ringmaster as they could conveniently get.
He wore blue yachting cap and pink bath
robe, two articles strangely out Of place in the
chilly atmosphere and the glitter Of the circus
ring but he had been there before and the
incongruity Of his attire did not affect his con-
duct Of the ring. and everything passed off as
smoothly as II the performers were ola hands.
With the first blare Of the trumpets. a caval-
cada Of gentlemen riders filed into the ring and
put their horses through series Of evolutons
that did credit as we'll to the horses as to the

one feat which Is seldom seen In the circus
ring was the sparrinz bout between Messrs
Hopkins and Koehler two Of the Athletic Club
most sklful boxers. Both OF the young men
are clever and quick and they entertained the
audience for a brief time with one or the fastest
exhibitions ever seen In amateur circles.
