FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1894

THE Democracy are playing a regular political shell game on the tariff bill.

QUESTIONS like the tariff are too big lor the Democrats and they ought to let them alone.

EX-GOVKRNOR IHA J. CHASE has been called to the pastorate of the Christian church at Valparaiso.

FARMERS who are marketing their wheat are busy thinking over the Democratic promises made in 1802.

AVIIEN Grover signs the tariff' bill it will be the bill which he has branded as the bill of "perfidy and dishonor."

SENATOR BRICK'S prediction that the tariff bill would be passed by May 15 must have had reference to next year instead of this year.

HAD not President Cleveland written that letter to Wilson the McKinley law would have been repealed ere this. Thanks. Grover.

THE public debt was increased during the month of July $1,552,004. And it will continue to increase so long as the Democrats are in power.

MARION county will be solid for Joe Fanning for Auditor of- State in the Democratic State Convention. This is a black eye for John L. Goben.

THE St. Louis Qlobe-Vcmocrat, says that Hill is the kind of a Democrat who likes to have fun by going in swimming with the Republicans.

GROVER'S "wild team" is proving to be more intractable than General Harrison even anticipated when he made the remark a year and a half ago.

FREE TRADE is not always free trade. It sometimes means a tariff of 45 per cent, on sugar. 80 per cent, on rice, and large protection to coal and iron ore.

MATT DAUC IIERTV has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Sixth Nebraska district. It is needless to explain that this is not our ut»

THE tariff bill still hangs lire in the conference committee. The commit-1 tee is in a deadlock. Sugar, coal and I iron ore are the rocks upon which the conferees have split.

IT will be observed that the Republicans are not saying a word or doing a thing to delay tariff legislation. The "senseless chatter" business is monopolized by the Democrats.

WHEN Mr. Brookshire comes home to his "beloved" with a protective tariff of 45 per cent on sugar, what will he have to tell them about the 'glories of the "free breakfast table?"

THE sugar investigating committee lias made its report, but it required the year's output of Indiana lime to furnish the whitewash The scent of sugar hangs around it still.

THE rank and file of the Democracy are standing with gaping mouths and wondering what kind of dose is going to be poked down their throats by the Conference Committee at Washington.

that natural gas has begun to fail. The average layman knows about as much concerning the future of the gas as the average expert.

A PARTY OF IMBECILITY. The Democratic party has been in full control of the Government now nearly eighteen months. It has had the President, and both branches of Congress. One year ago to-day the President called Congress in extra session, and the session has been continuous since then with the exception of about four weeks. The tariff bill lias

been

under (consideration ever since the election in 1S(.)2, and yet it has not yet reached the President, and nobody can tell when it will reach him. The House and Senate each has passed bills but they are radically different both in principle and schedules, the one considerably free trade and the other slightly protective, but both destructive of American industrial interests. The effect of the agitation has been just as disastrous to business as though the proposed legislation had been an accomplished fact, probably more so arising out of the uncertainty as to just what kind of a mongrel bill would finally be enacted into law. The Senate and House are now in a deadlock, and in the meantime" the business depression continues and grows worse from day to day. The people are becoming very tired. The impression has deepened into a conviction that the Democratic statesmen, if they be called by such dignified title, are utterly incapable of conducting the affairs of government in a statesmanlike manner, llow long will such imbecility continue'.' How long can the government stand the strain of such weakness as has been shown during the last eighteen months? How long, 0 Lord, how long?

THE voice of Daniel Webster, Senator from Massachusetts, comes across fiftyseven years on a point now under discussion, and his words are as clear and apposite as on the day they were uttered. He said in a speech delivered in the Senate in February, 1837:

That taking off the duty will reduce the price of coal is perfect nonsense. The effect will be just the reverse. It is the continual bringing forward of propositions to alter the most settled features of our policy which is, in practice, so injurious to American industries and enterprise. In illustration of this remark, I will observe that it is not long since a very curious debate took place in London at a meeting of the creditors of the late Duke of York. Among other items of his property was a great coal mine in N ova Scotia. Certain trustees of the estate had been directed to work it. The question with the creditors was wheth er the working of the mine should still be prosecuted, or what should be done with it. On inquiry of the trustees these gentlemen stated that the mine was not now very productive, but that the policy of the American Government in relation ot duties was vacillating and uncertain that very soon the protective duty of foreign coal would be taken off. and then they would have the entire American market.

The owners of these Nova Scotia mines are just as eager to gain an entrance to our markets as they were in 1837. and as soon as their trade is established they will join an American trust of their own. The result, as Webster said, will be. to make con 1 higher than ever before.

IT is said that the present hard times are due to protection. But the people will remember that we have always had the highest degree of prosperity just when we have had the highest tariff and there was no threat of repealing it. for years after the war. when we had the highest tariffs ever known, all branches of business nourished. How can our Democratic friends account for the fact that the hard times did not come till the Democracy took control of the government?

THE chief topic of editorial discus sion in the Rcviciv of Reviews for August is the recent railroad strike. The motives of the dispute are candidly considered, and the conclusion is •eached that the leaders of the Ameri can Railway Union have done great harm to the cause of organized labor, besides inflicting untold injury on an innocent public. At the same time the opinion is advance that arbitration would have been greatly to the advan-

TUE State Natural Gas Inspector has I tage, as well as credit, of the Pullman made his regular annual prediction Company.

THE resolution to investigate the Dominion Coal Company, of which Whitney, Lamont & Co. are the leading spirits, has been relegated to inoccuous dessuetude. Grover is chary of investigating this trust.

JAMES E. WATSON, the Young Man Eloquent, has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Fourth District. Although the District has 3,000 Democratic majority the Republicans are confident that the young man will give old Mr. Holman such a close shave that it will not be funny.

CHICAGO Jnter-Oecan: Heretofore Democrats have always found some chance to blame their mishaps upon Republicans. Hut their miserable failures now are too plainly their own to attempt this. They have to bear "the perfidy and dishonor" as best they can.

It is all theirs, and the ruin, wreck and idleness are a direct result of their political tinkering and mismanagement.

I

THE Democratic Congressional convention at Covington, in their plat form say that the McKinley law is still in force. If they mean by this that it is yet on the statute book, the assertion is strictly true. But every business man and laborer in the country is painfully aware that its beneficent operation has been entirely suspended for the time being, by Democratic threats to overthrow it. The bare threat to repeal it has brought disaster to the whole country.

DEMOCRATIC speakers used to amuse their audiences by telling them that when a man bought a dollar's worth of goods upon which there was a tariff of 30 per cent, he bought 70 cents worth of goods and 30 cents worth of "protection." It will be well for Democrats to remember that when they buy a dollar's worth of sugar, f5 cents will be for sugar and 4") cents for

Democratic protection to Southern sugar planters.

TIIK gold reserve is down to 8"2,00),000, and still going downward. Another issue of §"0,000,000 in bonds must come soon.

THE new sugar schedule, which is to form the basis of "harmony" between the two branches of Congress, can scarcely be called a compromise. It is total abandonment of the House's position of hostility to the trust, the revulsion of sentiment on the part of the House conferrees being so powerful as to stretch, in the new schedule, the advantages already gained by the trust. The new scheme of duties contemplates the levying of a 40 per cent, ad valorem duty on all sugars, raw and refined. But in the case of refined the ad val orem is to be laid on the value of the raw sugar used in making each pound of the refined. According to the estimates of the conferrees the 40 per cent duty on 100 pounds of refined would, under this arrangement, be calculated as equivalent to 40 per cent on the value of 113 pounds of unrefined. According to the calculations of the leading sugar expert on the Finance Committee, Mr. Aldrich, the concealed advantage to the refiner, even with a 45 per cent fiat rate, would be but cents on a hundredweight. At 40 fiat it would be perhaps a little over 2h cents on the hundredweight. But to recompense the trust for this loss of '2l4 cents a hundredweight, the Senate specific duty of J* of a cent a pound is to be increased to 1-5 of a cent a pound, and the discriminating duty against bounty-paid sugars is also to be retained. The increase from to 1-5 cent a pound means an advancement in the duty of "}-, cents on the hundredweight, so that the net result of the new scheme of "harmony" would appear to be an additional "concession" to the trust of 5 cents on the hundredweight, or 1-20 of a cent on the pound beyond the already liberal terms of the tainted Carlisle-Jones-Gorman schedule.

W. E. CURTIS, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, says that the sugar schedule is in the tariff bill as the result of a bargain made during the last Presidential campaign by the managers of President Cleveland's canvass and the president of the sugar trust. The details of the bargain are unknown, but from circumstantial evidence it is presumed that in consideration of a large contribution to the treasury of the committee the trust was assured that a duty would be placed upon sugar in case the Democrats were successful and the tariff was revised. The investigating committee endeavored to compel Mr. Ilavermeyer to give the details of the contract and the amount of his contribution, but he refused to testify, and the Democratic members of the committee protected him in doing so. The bargain was negotiated by Messrs. Gorman, Brice and Smith: the terms are known to Secretary Carlisle and doubtless to the President. They are also known to the members of the Senate Committee on Finance. These

Senators mentioned insist that the bargain shall be carried out. They have made that a condition of the passage of the bill. They have given their svord and are going to keep it.

THE Terre Haute Mail. a non-polit-ical paper, has this to say of the approaching Republican Congressional convention, and the probable nominee:

The Republican congressional situation has been much clarified this week. The only candidates who are causing discussion are Hon. George W. Faris and Col. Thomas 11. Nelson, of this county, and ex-Congressman Johnston, of Rockville. Vigo county politicians of the Republican stripe seem to be united on one thing, and that is, that the man who shows the most strength in Vigo's delegation should be presented as the only candidate from this county. To a man up tree, George W. Faris seems to have the best of the race. IIis backers are workers, and they are not making a bit of noise. The convention will contain 215 delegates, and the nominee only needs 108 votes. As Vigo county has 02 votes, and the friends of Faris claim all but a few of them, he appears to have a precedence. Especially is this true, if you take their word for the statement that the counties which have no candi dates—Fountain. Montgomery and

Vermillion—are all favorable to Faris, as these counties east nearly 80 votes. The Faris men also claim that Clay and Sullivan counties will only vote once for their respective candidates and then largely support Vigo's man.

THE Wilson bill proposes to tax investments in building associations This was stricken out of the Senate bill. Do the howlers of the Wilson bill know what they are howling for when they demand that the sav ings of the poor man shall be thus taxed? And Congressman Brookshire voted for the Wilson bill with this iniquitous feature.

THE Democratic party is great when it comes to legislating for foreign countries. The Nova Scotia, coal miners are to be developed and our mines closed. And this is to give the poor man cheap coal and the miner of this country lower wages.

MOST farmers will be likely to remember that the Republican party run the government for thirty odd years consecutively, and in all this long- period wheat was seldom under a dollar a bushel.

THE average cost of a Pullman palace car is 25.000: but the most expensive ear costs $45,000.

TENNESSEE.

THE JOURNAL is indebted to George L. Markley for a copy of the Chattanooga Press containing the result of the recent election held in that city and county for judicial and county officers. The Press flies a big eagle which indicates that the Republicans were triumphant and the figures show that they carried the county by 1.500 majority. The Republicans have made great gains all over the State. The Democrats claimed that they would elect a Supreme Court by 20.000 majority, but the official returns as far as received show that the majority can not be over 5,000. if indeed the ticket was not beaten by the Republican nominees. The Republicans have gained one Democratic Judicial Circuit outright and in another they have put in an Independent in place of a straight Democrat. Congressman Enloe's district in West Tennessee went Republican by 1.000. Republicans gained one or more county oflicials in fourteen Democratic counties, and the point that the leaders are especially pleased with is than in a number of instances Republicans Sheriffs were elected,thus placing the voting machinery of the counties in the hands of the party. Democrats made gains in very few counties, and at best they were slight. The result of this election will have a material effect on the Gubernatorial, Legislative and Congressional elections in November. The Legislature to be elected will have the choosing of a successor to Senator Harris.

THE 25 cent duty placed on wheat per bushel by the McKinley tariff is still in force. The claim for this duty by the McKinleyites wTas to protect the farmer. With wheat selling in this market at 45 cents the farmer fails to see where his protection comes in.— Frankfort 'csccnt.

The Democratic theory of the workings of a tariff law is that the price of an article is enhanced or increased by precisely the amount of the duty, and hence they have characterized this increase which the consumer must pay as "robbery." If the Democratic contention is true wheatowould now be selling at 20 cents instead of 45 cents.

A TARIFF for revenue only is the goal of Democratic aspirations," says the Evansville Courier. True in times past, but the refusal of class interests in Congress to yield in carrying out pledges made to the people has changed the conservatism of a tariff for revenue into the radicalism of free trade and direct taxation.—Frankfort Crescent.

All that the Republicans will ask is that the Democrats will be honest enough to make a declaration in their platforms in favor of the "radicalism of free trade and direct taxation."

THOSE who are advocating a change in the constitution providing that United States Senators shall be elected by the people should remember that the people make as many mistakes as the Legislatures. For instance, the people of Illinois elected Atgeld Governor. while the Legislature elected Senators Cullomand Palmer. Legisla tures are not prone to make more blunders in their nominations than are State conventions.

DURING the entire period of President Harrison's administration, there were published, almost invariably monthly statements of large sums paid on the public debt. Has any one seen such a statement under the present administration? The only statements now made area deficit in the treasury the continual decrease of the gold re serve and the issuing of bonds to keep up the treasury. Such is Democratic financiering.

HI:HI5 is what Abraham Lincoln said of the law: "Let reverence of law be breathed by every mother to the lisping babe that prattles "in her lap: let it be taught in the schools, seminaries and colleges: let it°be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs let it be preached from pulpits, and proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice: in short, let it become the political religion of the Nation.''-

HK it remembered that the Senators from Louisiana are not clamoring' for a tariff on sugar "for revenue only,"' but for the "protection" of the sugar raisers of their State: and protection is the chief object. If it was not that the Louisiana sugar makers demand "protection," a sugar schedule could be agreed on in five minutes.

THE Covington convention which recently re-nominated Mr. Brookshire resolved in favor of the free coinage of silver on the old ratio of 16 to 1. But what has Mr. Brookshire or his party done in Congress to secure the free coinage of silver? Nothing but to re peal the Sherman silver law.

THE Rcviciv reads the seventy Democratic A. P. A.'s out of the party in language more forcible than elegant by saying, "To the devil with such Democrats." The Review must be hot.

THE Republicans of Wyoming have nominated a woman, Miss Reel, by name, for Superintendent of 1'ublic Instruction.

THE best service that this Congress can render is to kill the pending tariff legislation and then adjourn.
