of Democrats are hurt? Undoubt-
edly it is a sorry reminder to them,
but it cannot be said that they
sho we'd such consideration for the
American business man and labcrer
as to warrant such sacrifice of
principle. The tariff is an issue, and
as such must occupy prominent
place in the waging of the cam
paign.
The Republican party has declared
for sound currency; the Democrats
have slumped to silver. Mckinley
represents the march towards pros
perity; Bryan a retreat towards dis
trust and bankruptcy. If the sound
money Democrats wish to see the
nation lntrenched against the attacks
of such foes as are now seeking to
do it i'll, they can accomplish such
an end by voting the Republican
ticket; but they must not seek to
dictate the policy of this party after
having failed IN controlling theil
own.
On the other hand, the free silver

ASKING TOO MUCH.
sheraton

That the support of the sound
money Democrats IN the coming
campaign would be valuable adjunct
to Republican success, is al undoubt-
ed fact: but it doesn't follow that
the management of the campaign
should be tdrned over to Democratic
hands. From time to time come
loud complaints from Democratic
papers that the Republicans Will in
sist upon talking tariff, and are Civ
ing expression now and then to some
remarks concerning the condition of
the county during the past three
years which are not altogether COM
pIimentary to the present Democratic
administration. The position taken
by these Democratic papers is anus
ing, and the arrogance they have as
sumed Is quite in keeping with their
actions at different times in the pre-
vious history of the country.
Why should the Republicans
cease to present the tariff as one of
the bedrock reasons for their exis-
tence as a political organization? and
why should they desist from con
demning an administration whose
policy has brought untold woe upon
the nation? The Republican party
suffered defeat four years ago upon
the tariff issue. Since that time the
country has suffered from a CONNER
cial panic which has never been ex-
celled in severity
There may be those who will re-
fuse to concede that this state OF
affairs was brought about by the
free trade policy of the Democratic
party, but the Republicans believe
that such is the case. The importa.
tion of foreign goods made by cheap
labor has compelled the closing down
