The Real Issue.

The prominence given to the
tariff in the democratic platform
and the open declaration in favor
of a tariff for revenue only, and
against protection, emphasizes
the importance of that issue, and
affords ground for the declara-
ton by prominent public men
that this is the most important
of them all.
But the real issue of the cam
paign is not any one of these, and
the verdict of the people will not
be given upon any one OF them
though they all may be consider
ed. The question to be judged
by the people is that of repnbli
can performance versus democra
tic promise; republican principl
versus democratic inconsistency
republica success versus democra
tic failure.
Every one knows what the r.
publicans have done in the al
ministration of the government
There is no evidence that tt
democrats could do any better.
There is abundant eviden
that they could not do nearly
well.-Pueblo ''Chieftain."
