The tariff bin just passed by the Senate Inn
poses an average tax on imports OF 81 per
cent, and the high tax, it is said, will so de-
crease imports that deficiency in Ahe revenue
will be from $1,000, 600 to $50, 600, 600 at the
end of this fiscal year, June 20, 1898. The
average tax of the Wilson law Is 80 per cent?
and of the Mckinley law, which caused the
overthrow of the Republicans party, 40
per cent. If the country would not stand an
average tax of 40 per cent, how do the Re
publican managers expect to survive a 81 per
cent tax?

The Baltimore Sun. after SEATING the Demo
cratic reason why free coinage of silveris not
an issue this year, remarks ::
This argument ingeniously overlooks the fact
that the next Legislature wAl elect successor TO
Mr. German in the United States Senate where the
financial question will probably be settled"
This is deliberate attempt to deceive the
people, The San knows that Mr.. Germans
term does not expire until March 4, 1899, and
if there is to be any financial legislation at all
it will be accomplished before that time.

Gary's Refusal to Make Them Post
masters.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July The national
negro protective association organized strong
branch in Washington last night, and pro-
tested against Postmaster General Gary rnl-
ing against appointing negro postmasters in
white communities. In bitter attack on
Gen. Gary, who, it was alleged had refused
to put negro in charge of southern post
office on the ground that the position de-
manded social duties which it would be i'm
possible for negro to fulfill, w. A. Pledger,
of Georgia, who was continually applauded,
said
''If we don get what we want we will hold
a loyefeast in Kentucky and find the reason
why If our demands are not attended TO,
let us cast our votes with party with which
we have never before affiliated and let MS do
our duty to our wives and children

The white Republican vote of Somerset
county is AGO and the colored Republican
2lS6. Heretofore, in electing delegates to
county conventions, the whites took three
delegates and gave the colored voters one.
In the late convention, however, the colored
voters were allowed two delegates-one half.
In selecting delegates to the state convention
the colored people were allowed but one of
the four and they were given but one place
on the state central committee. When the
convention is reconvened to nominate coun-
ty ticket there is some apprehension that the
colored people will demand place or two.

Time for a Change in Iowa,

From the Keokuk Constitution, Democrat.
The Statehouse should be cleaned Of the
communicating influences of the tax-inereas-
ing, extravagant, peculating officials of the
present administration. The time for looking
after the interests of the common people a
little instead of fostering those of the corpor
ations, trusts and money power has arrived.
Through the medium of the Democratic or
ganization the necessary reforms can be
brought about, but in no other way.

1t is hard enough in these times for people
to pay taxes levied for strictly necessary pur-
poses without subjecting them to burdens that
they ought not to bear, yet in passinga "sham
reform in the shape of a new election law
the Republican party took 100000 from the
taxpayers of the State to carry out its cum
brous and partisan provisions. So far at least
as the counties are concerned, the law was
wholly unnecessary and when the partisan char

Sore Spot in Ohio Just Now.
From the Pittsburg Post

In prior conventions the Ohio Republicans
have been bitter in denunciation of lynching
of negroes at the South, but the recent appli-
cation of lynch law at Urbana seems to have
changed their minds, or it may be that while
they regarded Southern lynchings for certain
nameless crimes to be an intolerable wrong.
yet when it is applied in Ohio not word Of
condemnation is in order.
