AS TO ISSUES. Mr. Metzger would favor an anti trust, anti tariff platform, holding in aleyanoe other question* upon which the party ia unable to unite. Brief aiidresaea were aleo made by Hon. John W, Kern, Hon. 8. M Ralaton. Hon.|\V. H £ichorn, and others, and the general trend of opinion wa> that the naming of men and iMuea for the campaign of 190 b ia a little premature, to aay the leaat. The democratic party will courageously and patriotically meet the iMuee .whatever they may be, when the proper line arrive*—Lebanon Pioneer. Thia delay aa to men and candidates ia eminently proper, but aa to isaauea we disagree. What ia letter democracy than to protest against a protective tariff tha* permits even the United States gov ernment to buy American made equipments for the Panama canal in a foreign country, thirty three and one third percent cheaper than they cold buy these same American made goods in Ihis country. This illustration of the inequalities of the protective tariff system should be given the publicity it deserves. The newsj>a]>ers and the orators should preach it that the public and the people may see that what is sauce for the United States government would be sauce for the army of American buyers, were the prohibitive protective tariff removed. Where is the democrat who thinks it too early to make ‘‘tariff for revenue only" even in the remote 1908, a leading and important issue.

the law and engage in rate and rebate discrimination is a menace to business, and a rank abuse ot American institutions and freedom. Who says it is too early tor the newspaper* and men of thought and action to make this an important issue, even in 190®. The democratic party needs to awaken to the importance of their duty. They need to do their thinking and their talking—tt least some of it—before their national convention meets It is all well and good to say “they will courageously and jiatnotically meet the issues," but the people will have more confl dence in the party and the people who compote it. if these issues are given lhe attention they deserve when campaigns are as remote as 190®. The democratic editors should get on the tiring line They should eloquently and elab oratelv picture these abuses and thus preach good democracy. novFlwedding Celebrated Today—Pirtle Wore Hunting Costumes.
