can people. Upon that issue
plainly put, fully discussed, and
reasonably decided, there is nc
hope fer 'standpatters.'
Congressman John Sharp Will
Hams, of Mississippi, the Demo-
cratic leader in the lower branch
of Congress, made the above
statement upon his arrival in
Washington Saturday night.
Mr.. Williams, fresh from a speak
ing tour in his State, believes
that the tariff is the great issue
before the people of the United
States, and, furthermore. If it is
placed before them in a proper
form, the Democratic party will
be victorious.
'The tariff" said Mr.. Will
llams, sis pre-eminently a case
for the 'arraignment of public
reason An appeal to public
reason is-always stronger, if hon.
estly and bravely made, than an
appeal to private pocket books.
The function of government is
to restrain all persons, whether
Individual or corporate, from in
Juring others, and to leave them
otherwise free in the pursuits of |
improvement and hap
piness. The function is at once |
affirmative and negative in its
character. Some people over
one side of it and some
the other. The duty to restrain
IN order to prevent injury, is as
great as the duty to abstain
where injury is not being omit
led. and the duty to abstain is as
great as that to restrain. Com
non sense and the spirit of JUS
ice must always hold the scales
between the two. The Republi-
IAN party has frankly surrende
I'd to special interests, and al
hough it's President has, to some
'xtent, advocated other ideas,
he leaders of his party have all ,
ooked askance at him, while he
vas doing it. I expect to see the |
resident recommend a revision !
4 the tariff. He is great at {
naking a public demand half z
1ay or a little over half way, in {
rder to get rid of the demand. l
republicans frequently do i
lght thing on the principle of O
1roWlng "a sop to Cerebus.' Iii
democrats, if they are true c
} the principles of Democracy t,
nunciated in Jefferson's first in
ugural address, do right as a
