GIVE THE REPUBLICANS A CHANCE.

To tho Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Joseph c. Sibley, OF Pennsylvania In the
interview published In The Tribune OF December r.
takes n very sensible view OF the situation when
he says: Il believe that the best thing
do Is to stand back and let the Republicans have
full sway. Let them pass what tariff. financial and
other bills they want to. and give them every
opportunity to prove the truth OF their claims. II
they succeed, then done for all time: II they
fail. then have chance TO get a hearing
II all the Democrats and Popusts NJ Washing
ton would be governed by these suggestions. the
Republicans could frame tariff bill that would
protect the industries OF the country and have It
passed by this Congress: thus an extra session
would be avoided and the country put on the high
tide OF prosperity before the .Vth Congress meets
II this Is done. however. the Popocratic party viii
soon be entirely of business. they Will have
nothing to complain Of The great prosperity OF
the whole country that is certain to follow the
adoption OF tariff that will protect our industries
will be such prove the falseness OF all tho
theories OF the Popocrats.
Before the election OF Mr. Cleveland the Rcpub-
lean leaders predicted what the result OF his tariff
policy would be the industries OF the country,
and those predictions have come true. The free
public attention from the real causes OF business
depression raised cry about the 'crime OF 1872
Accommodating silver. and they came very near
deceiving n majority OF the voters OF the country
into an Endorsement OF their policy.
Now let the Republicans have an opportunity
to put practice their theories OF tariff and money.
and II they fail business prosperity. then
there will be chance for the free traders and
free coiners to try what their policy will do

WANTS MAGISTRATE MOTT IMPEACHED

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Can you not do something to bring the power
of the New-York press to bear upon the proper
authorities for the impeachment OF Magistrate
Mott? Justice and common decency call loudly
for his impeachment. He is totally UNIT to occupy
the bench In proof Of this need only cite you to
the cases Of Jacob Fischbowitz and Violet Mont
gomery. referred to In your columns under date OF
9th inst. and later the case OF Sophie Marks on
either Tuesday Wednesday. eth or sth inst.
Surely II Is a travesty of justice to say nothing
of decency to retain man of his disposition In so
important position as City Magistrate No one
can expect anything like justice at his hands. 1t
would make the blood OF "A savage boil to read Of
his unjust rulings and note his unrghteous at.
