THE FOREMOST DUTY
 HAS BEEN MADE PLAIN.


 The democrats With the aid of the insurgents. both committed to a re fern of the tariff. have it in their power now to enforce the will of the people, twice expressed. If they fail to do so, the people will find no excuse for having overturned the republican party, and at the first ol portunity, will restore it, since it would not be the la.est offender. Such a result would be taken by the stand patters to be evidence that the people had changed their minds, and favored protection after all.
 While there are points of difference other than the tariff between the re. puhlicans and democrats, that is tho only difference between the insu-- gent and the regular. The former. as a second string to his bow, has adopted a stock of progressive prin- ciples," to which he has added from time to time. These principles have been interesting, and to some extent attractive, but they are all in the ab- stract. It is now to the insurgent and the democrat that the people have applied for concrete relief from the exactions ithe protective tariff.
 It will not be as easy as it seems to grant this relief Notwithstanding the talk of reform in the method of revising the tarirf. as we'll as Of the tarifI itself. the introduction of "sclen- tiic revision" is going to be attended by many difficulties, and we will prob ably see many congressmen adhering to the old system of log-rolling when the tariff question is taken up after the holidays.
 Various associations have held their meetings and have adopted resola- tions. urging the retention, and in some cases an increase, Of the exist. ing tariff articles ,= which they are interested. Strong pressure will be brought to bear, as ususl. in favor of this or that industry It is upon the successful resistence to tha' pressure that the democrats must de pend for a continuance of their as cendancy and for success in the pres identiai campaign next year.
