The reorganizers will not point
with pride TO the result in the only
congressional district in which ex-
President Cleveland spoke.
II is said that stocks have fallen
seven hundred and sixty millions
since the late election. Wouldn't
the Democrats have caught it il
this had occurred after a Republi.
can defeat instead of Republican
victoryi
If the Democrats had secured
control of Congress the break in
the stock market aud the failure Of
the Central National bank OF Bos-
ton would have been charged up to
the election, but as it is they are
only an evidence of our wonder
full prosperity" "
Naturally enough Attorney Gen
eral Knox claims a vindication for
his method OF trust busting. The
Knox method consists Of shaking
his head at the naughty trusts aud
casting meaning glances in the di &.
rection of the Republican cam
paign headquarters.
The democrats who claim that
the silver issue il dead because II
was turned down at the polls
now step forward aud explain the
process OF reasoning whereby they
arrive at the conclusion that tariff

Was Tariff Reform KIlIedp

II there is any logic In the argu.
ment of the reorganizers the late
election killed tariff reform as an
issue. They were unanimous in
the declaration that the money
question was not au issue. Even
Imperialism was ignored by most Of
the eastern speakers and tariff re.
form was put forward as the main
question, The editors devoted col.
umns 10 tariff schedules aud to
statistics showing that our manu-.
facturers are selling cheaper abroad
than at home. They insisted upon
the free list as the sole aud only
remedy for the trusts--and then
the election came aud the Repub-
licans swept the country. DO the
returns settle the tariff question:
OF course not. A high tariff is
just ms bad to-day MS Il was before
the election and the Democratic
party should advocate tariff reform,
not because an election can he won
on il, bat because it is right. For
the same reason the party should
stand by It's position on the money
question, on the trust question aud
on imperialism. Ii success were
the only thing desired all the Demo
Gratis could join the Republican
party and be sure to win, but in
