PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS,

Next year Mr.. Hanna will have to
purchase others besides election mana
gers.-Atlanta Constitution.
-Messrs. Cleveland, Carlisle, Will
son and Benedict discussed 1.-The condi-
ton of the gold democracy" the other
day. They should have called in the
coroner.-Chicago Dispatch.
Mr.. Dingley says the present con-
gress is pledged to provide adequate
revenues. But will his bill do anything
of the kind? Do prohibitive duties
yield revenues in lavish abundance?-
N. Y. World.
The banquet speeches of the gold
democrats were full of great preten-
sions as usual. AS Mr.. Bryan says they
"reach their maximum at banquet and
their minimum at the polls''-they ARE
long on platitudes and short on per-
Torrance. "-Illinois State Register.
MIR. DingIey's argument that both
protection and the gold standard won
at the last election, because each was
made the burning issue in those sections
of the country wher it was the stronger,
ranks among the most brilliant exam
pies of cynical frankncss in the history
of putrid politics.-Kansas City Times.
MIR. Mckinley cannot redeem his
front-porch pledges. The Dlngley bill
will not bring dollar into this country.
1t will not put one extra dollar in the
pockets of those whose ability to buy
is the true and only source of permanent
prosperity. What, then, is to become of
the republican party? What is to be-
come of it's tariff theories? Atlanta
Constitution.
Farmers who think that wheat
has gone up to u dollar because of the
short crop and the unusual demand are
wofully ignorant of economies as they
are taught by republican organs. We
learn from those authorities on the sub
ject that wheat went up to dollar be-
cause President Mckinley waved his
hand in the direction of prosperity
St. Louis Republic,
At the lowest estimate the repub-
Iican administra ton proposes to tax
the American people six times the
amount niece ssary 20 meet the deficit of
the past fiscal year caused by the setting
aside of the income tax provision. Into
what orgy of extravaganza does the
party propose to plunge the
country in order tc spend this Vast eN-
cess of income? Every dollar OF it,
moreover, is taken out OF the earnings
of labor and the product of industry
Boston Post.
The republican brethren who pro-
test so loudly against duty c. hides
have our profound sympathy. They
have begun to learn, however, that they
are asking for an exception in their own
favor in policy which they have very
heartily applauded and Endorsed when
it was applied to other people. When
they advocate protective duties on wool,
hemp, flax, jute, iron ore, coal and Ium-
Der they necessarily weaken their own
defenses in pleading against the Ievying
of duties on their own raw materials
Record.
-Recent advices from Washington
indicate that the Hanna-McKintey ma
chine has already begun active prepare
tons for the immolation of MIR. Sher-
man in order that their plans for a sec
end term may be strengthened by ne"
premier. Hard. cold and selfish as Sher-
man is, he has been faithful party
man, and his being cast aside like a
squeezed orange at the behest of Mark
Hanna and to advance the fortunes of
William Mckinley in 1890. presents a
spectacle of political and personal i'm
gratitude that is calculated to fill repub-
Jeans with disgust and even TO enlist
the pity of a great many demOcrata--
