rhs oau.s Of the Late Hard rlms.

We are rapidly nearing the time when
the national conventions OF the two great
parties In the country will make their
ntminsiions for President and Vice.
president Of the United States; yet It Is
difficult, more so than ever before, to
fore,ell what will be the result after these
nominations are made. It is reasonably
sure that Mckinley will be nominated by
the Republicans and. as an opposing can
dldate, he, Of all others, should be the
most satisfactory to the Democracy
Mckinley is the embodiment OF the high
tariff idea. his views In this regard have
never heretofore been fully sustained by
his party. many eminent men among
them, including Thomas B. Reed, having
thought his tariff ideas too radical
The last tariff, known as the Mckinley
tariff, was really made by uen OF much
more liberal ideas In this respecs than
those Of him who has been looked upon
IS It's author Among those was Senator
Aldrlch. Of Rhode Island, q man who has
given much study TO this uestion and
yet, after the passage Of the present
tariff he announced publicly that It was
coed enough for him. The fact is, Il
McKinley's ideas were carried out, trade
with foreign countries would become SC
hRmpered, that our commercial relations
would come TO q stsndstill, and the
revenue from customs would be so de.
pleted, that it would be absolutely neces

AddIcha And 10 PoIIoy.

Now that Addlcks Is In control OF the
Republican party. his policy will be
closely watched with interest by both
Republicans and Democrats They will
want to see whether he proposes to
rub It In" on the adherents Of ex -Sena-
tor Higgins or make II 80 pleasant for
them that they will be willing TO acqni-
esce in the result OF the primNries held
on Saturday.
We cannot accept the gas kings policy
at the State Convention to- day as posi-
tive ind cation OF what he will do In the
future. for the frst aush OF victory
often leads men to do things which they
regret and endesvor to repair at a subse
quent time. 1t would not be
natural to suspect man OF
Addicks' temperament to permit
the New Castle county delegates to name
the two national delegates from their
county That would mean for him and
ex Postmaster Daniel f. Stewart to stay
at home for the benefit Of ex Senator
Anthony Higgins and Colonel Henry A.
DUPONT, both of whom were slated for
the honor. One is his bitterest political
enemy, rendered more bitter by humili-
ating defeat. The other is equally OBJ
noxious 10 him In more ways than one.
Even we're the gas king willing to heap
Goals Of fire, neither Mr.. Higgins nor
Colone. DUPONT would accept fsvors at
his hand. SO far ..ss they are concerned
any policy which Nc. Addicks may out
line will have no reference to them. His
business lies with their followers. The
only question is, Will he wesn them
from them or crush them with themY He
has been wonderfully successful in the
weaving way, ard we bslieve that his
best advisers will suggest conclliatory
policy at first, and that failing, one
which will force the recalcltrants into
the Addlcks lines or out Of the party.
Just now there Is much talk Of a Hig-
gins bolt In November. Those who are
talking the loudest are not the ones from
whom the Democrats can expec. much
at election time It is those who say
little bat who know the means employed
70 wrest the power from their grasp, that
Mr.. Addicks has to fear. There are
thousands Of quiet, determined Republic
ans who will walk up to the polls and
cast silent but powerful and scattering
rebuke against the man who has so sue
cessiully boodlsd the electorate Of his
oWh 'pafty. -.,-
We cannot presume that all Of those
who voted for Higgins delegates on Sat-
urdRy will do so, or that all who re-
mained away from the polls were anti
Addlcks men. There is certain
percentage ever ready to follow a
snccessful man. and many Higgins men
who were among his most earnest sup
porters are already preparing to adapt
themselves to the altered situation and
will in short time bs reviling their
former leader and extolling the virtues
OF Addicks With all these allowed for,
there will still remain enough Rspubli
cans to defeat the gas king and his
barrel by combining with the Democrats
In November There will be no bargain
struck to bring this about II will be
the voluntary action Of men who cannot
sit quietly and acqulesce In the disgrace

pies before the world

The result OF that tariff was to encourage

Treasury Department with tons Of use

there. The manufacturers could not sell

wages when they were retained) were
reduced Tho government had to pay a
dollar IN gold for every City cents worth
Of the useless silver which it had stored
In It's vaults All this was the result Of
Republican Congressional Legislation n D..
Surely this was enough to produce hard
times.
Reckless as we're the causes which pro
duced the hard times we are now threat
ened with a repetition OF them. With
Mckinley for President, and Congress
sustai ming him, the markets will be
closed to us, overProductlon will be the
result, and hard times will be sure TO
follow. even II they are not brought
about by the overthrow OF our present
sound money financial system. This
latter is to be feared. COR so far as indi-
cations show. the Republican party will
be obliged to concede good deal to their
free silver element In order to hold the
party together and make the election Of
their Presidential candidate possible,
Never was there a better opportunity for
the Democracy than is now presented

our watchword. and success Is sure to
