Situation Of Sound Money Democrats.

A respectable number of the sound
money Democrats apparently do not
want greater reward for their services
than admission into the Republican
party. But they aren't numerous or
influential enough to attempt to make
the Republican party over to suit just
their ideas. The Boston Herald sees
much that it thinks it could Improve
upon in this world but is free 70 admit
that Republicans must be Republicans
and does SO in way that IMPLIES this
condition of affairs not to be so very
bad after all. 1t sees. moreover. that
the prospect of a continuance of con-
cert of action on the part of Republi
cans and sound money Democrats is
good and one not to be easily avoided
by the latter.
The Herald says: present political
occurrences point to a considerable
transference from the Democratic to
the Republican ranks. However men
who have been lifelong Democrats may
mourn over this state of affairs, cool
observer can hardly fail to find the
change indicated, if not inevitable
There is no present reason to look for
the reorganization of the Democratic
party on sound money platform The
vote of Palmer and Buckner at the late
election was much too small, and that
Of Bryan and Sewall greatly too large
to render this at all probable. The
Democratic party will continue on the
basis laid down at Chicago. as far as
free silver is concerned, for the pres
ent and there will be nothing more
than a Democratic bolt on any other
basis. Its platform may be modified
in the future as regards the action of
the President in the enforcement of
the laws; that plank lost it a very large
number of votes in the recent cam
paign. We doubt if it's position toward
the supreme court is changed, and it
may be that the income tax feature
will be made more prominent. The
free silver plank will be fatal to the
return of the Democrats who have
seeded this year. All of them will be

the Tariff and the Present Senate.

With the near approach of the con-
gressional session the topic that in
creases in interest more than con-
lectures as to the President Cuban
ezuelan incident or prospective cur
rency legislation is: What will the
Senate do respecting the revenues?
Outspoken opinions in favor of the
passage of the Dingley bill and ex-
p:essions of confidence that the Presi-
dent would not veto such a measure
are more commonly heard than a few
weeks ago.
According to a reported interview
Senator Hale believes the bill will be
taken up by the Senate and he hopes
it will pass.
I'VE ought to have it, said he. for
the treasury reports show the great
need CT more revenue. While l will
not attempt to speak for all of them, l
am satisfied that some of the silver
Republicans will give their assistance
to the passage of the bill, and l cannot
believe that the Democrats would put
any unusual distractions in the way
of the success of the measure
Furthermore, l am quite persuaded
that Mr.. Cleveland would not veto the
bin if it should be presented to him.
1t is to be assumed, however that
Mr.. Hale does not think the passage Of
the Dingley bill would prevent the
better measure. He realizes, as all
must who have followed the reports of
the growing deficit the past five
months the pressing need of more
revenue and the desirability of raising
it by some less Objectionable method
than another issue of bonds. Moreover
the sound money Democrats are evinc-
| ing disposition to regard the emer-
gency as they did that of the recent
campaign. They must see, and from
what prominent ones among them have
said. do see the necessity which con-
| lloiitS the IAepuDilCdH party. lndI OF
revising the tariff to conform to the
ideas which the Republicans have con-
sistently adhered to from the first. To
thwart them in this would be to throw
away much of the fruits of the recent
victory.
OF course these Democrats will OBJ
pose what they deem very extreme
views and both from inclination and
policy will lend their influence toward
keeping the rates as low as possible.
But on the other hand they know, as
do all of US, the length to which tariff
revision is likely to drag itself out, and
the feeling of uncertainty in business
attending it. While this is ALWAYS
much less when the tariff is being re-
vised UP instead of down it exists
nevertheless.

forded those from which the Demo-
crats 81 did not wholly remove protection,
and also afford ample time for most
careful preparation Of tariH measure.
II is from the wool and lumber indus
tries that the hard times returns have
been most serious. Undoubtedly the
majority of the sound money Demo-
Gratis would like to have these remain
on the free list and those of them who
would not are not admitting change
of faith. But they realize this change
must come within the next two years
and they have had opportunity for
Judging the i'll effects Of lOp-sided
tariff like the present one. In both
these important industries about half
the employees were idle last July and
during the fall, it is said, more than
half were idle. From returns from
1888 industrial establishments all over
the country to the American Protective
Tariff League it appears that there
was 5U per cent. leSS WOTk lot AmeTl-
can labor under two years of the exist
ing tariff than during a like period
under the Mckinley law Bad as this
Island we have no doubt a good many
Democrats secretly repent 1.-THE con-
dition in the lumber and wooden in
dustries was worse. In the latter less
than half the 1892 wages were earned
last year and much the same condition
existed in the lumber trades. If these
industries are put on equal footing with
the others at once, the tariff revision
that must be had eventually will not
have the disturbing effect which would
be produced were these gross inequali-
ties to go over till that time. 1t is GER
tain that a prompt passage of the
Dingley bill would obviate the food of
foreign goods poured into this country
whenever the tariff is being revised up
and there is time for the importers
to take advantage of the opportunity.
The thorough revision would, when
had, not only create less disturbance,
be perfected free from the pressure of
haste. but receive, probably, more
careful, conservative attention than
otherwise.

If the money sent from this city to

We have no doubt but what thou
sands of dollars are annually sent

secured at home for fair price before
looking over the stocks of the home

this underground the insurgents have cut
many paths. The openings lie just wide
enough TO admit the passage of file Of
men and are not available for heavy guns
or camp accouterments, supply trains OF
horses. The mouths of these paths the willy
insurgents cover up, and their courses arc
made devious and mys:ifying. If the Span
ish attempt 10 follow them, they soon ars

Maceo and His Men.
In the rayines between the hills there is
very little clear ground. The surface is
covered either with underground or by
swamps, equally difficult TO pass through.
In such n country it is easy to see that
Maceo's 5000 or G, coo men are a match for
Weyler's 10. 600 Maceo and his men know
every foot of the ground. Every native is
their friend and guide and just as willing
to help them as he is to give the Spaniards
Il false scent In the passages which lead
to his stronghold Maceo has set many traps
and is only waiting to draw Weyler's forces
into them. He has ambushes of sharp
shooters ana mines primed with dynamite
Army officers in Washington say there
is only one way in which the Spanish can
get at Maceo and whip him, and that is by
an exhibition of daring and of willingness
to suffer hartlships which the Spanish
troops in Cuba have never displayed. They
must dividaj uto small parties, throw away
their camp accouterments, except their
blankets and cock kettles, and burrow into
the mountains and underbrush, prepared
for bloody work, expecting to be surprised
and hurt and willing to take their chances
in desperate warfare The chief trouble
with the Spanish operations in Cuba is
that many OF the officers are towards. The
rank and file are brave enough and are I'M
der fine discipline, but they have not bold
men to lead them.
nder all these circumstances the pre-
sailing opinion in military circles at Wash
ington is that the Cuban rebellion will con
tinue all through the winter and until tho
coming of the rainy season next summer
again puts stop to active operations In
that event the war for suppression of the
is likely to fail through interna-
tional action and Cuba TO become free
and independent state.
