TIE rUss the boiling democrats have

THE FUSS the boiling democrats have
been, and are now, making about the
firm determination of the republicans
to raise the tariff, is absurd. Wise men,
in their condition, would keep their
mouths shut. They helped the repub-
licaus last November for ''love;" not
for any promise of pay or benefit, and
the vain attempt they are making to in
duce the latter to abandon the chief
principle of the platform, as recon-
pense for the aid they afforded them,
only adds ridicule to their discount.

contract, or agreement with them, it
might be different, but they did moth.
ing of the sort, and are therefore fancy
free to do what they choose.
