A BELATED GRIEVANCE

In editorial entitled Popular Feeling and Tariff Bunco
the ST. Paul PioneerPress, republican paper syas:
The most wholesome thing for congress do at this nc4re
would adjourn for few weeks and distribute itself among
is constituents would learn something to its ultimate adyan
age and the advantage of the counry 1t would get in touch
with practically universal evaporation disgust Of the voters
with the Payne BILL the Aldrich monsosiy and the cean sl
duggey and chcane which have characterized the framing Of the
house and senate But there the slightest hope that
congress will consult its constituents The ta trainers do not
want hear from the The leaders put their heads
the sand and imagine that there trouble for
blessed protected industries They can't and they won't see that
unless they grant the and reasonable demands of consumers for
moderate tariff necessities and for free materials
particularly for free lumber free wood pulp hides free iron
ore and coal there will be that not unlikely to put an
end for good all the republican party at present constituted
or the domination of the andpater reaconary and
to protection for any industry whether needs it or not
u et congress commit the crime it threatens t co and t
little udcous leadership the part of the democratic party by
ougng off free trade free silver and popusc ecre
cen that party would be likely carry years hence almost
every in the Mississippi valley To elect republican president
against sound and sensible democratic candidate standing

policy but complete change in the feeling that exists
1T is probably not exaggeraing to that millions Of
Ohio ready oady rebue congress evident
tenons in that will disturb the gall OF that hoay old
sinner Adrch For the rank and file of the republican party

four years hence the republican party Failure comply with
the demands of the rank and file will split the party wide open
These threats They plain OF popular
feeling expressed in this by individuals and revealed
the columns of the press OF the country from end the other
There will the republican congress be good? But why
this bated wrath? Who is this Adrch the hoary old sin
ner? He the who has controlled the republican
o the for 10 these years And who IS this awful
Payne? He Speaker Cannons right hand And how
such unspeaabe happen be control OF the republican
machine? Because the ghteousy indignant newspapers like the
Pioneer-Press helped to win republican victory:
But why does the PoneePre rage? There President TAFT

which Ac and Payne has concoced We have the guaranty OF
the mighty hunter that Mr. TAFT refomer and Mr. Taft him
