WILL LIKE IT WHE IT COMES.
The Democrats in and out of Congress who opposed the repeal of the Sherm m law are left in a stranded and dilapidated condition. They are in open antagonism to the national party plitform and to the great mass of Democrats of the entire country, and instead of being up with the party procession they are tagging along after a few|-elfinh ownrrs of silver mines, who want the government or tho whole people to furuish a profitable market for their products. It is » carious kind of Democracy that would tax the whole people to furnish a market for a specially favored o'ass. It is off the same piece as the Populi t government warehouse and fiat money scheme, and the Republican rcheme of a high tariff tax ou all for the benefit of a few. There is not a shadow of Democracy about it. All these schemes are f voritism p re and simple, and there is no place for any of them in the Democratic party. They are rank socialism. —Laporte Argus.
The New York World’s answer to the lepnblica gibe, asking the people “How do you iike the change for which you voted last ye it?” is sufficient. The people will like the change wheu they get it Thus far ai out the only thing chnnged, except thu personnel of some of the offices and the substitut on of a big, broad min for a little, n .rr -w man in the wi ite house, has been the republican silver purchase law. whioh created a monetary p >nic. This has been ch nged after a hard straggle. The peop'e like this do they not? There is a change also in the substitution of a dignified, peaceable American policy on all foreig • questions for the combined brag and bluster, jingoism and jobbery of the republican administration. The people like this change. Other changes voted bat not yet made are:
'A restoration of the gold supply, whioh sank under republican administration from 8*297,874,0011 to $100,970,000. A reduction of the worse-than-war tariff taxes, which the republicans increased as a means ofjcutthjg down the revenue. An increase ol the revenues to meet the nteds of -he government, four years of republican rule having converted a surplus of $100,000,000 into a deficiency of $50,000,000. The bad results of thirty years of republican leg elation .and four years of particularly bad and extiavagantrnle un der Harrison, Reed and their associates cannot be overcome in six months, A change was voted. A change is oomi g. And if honestly executed the people will want more of it.

Brother Aiarshall takes a b : g slice of nt ck in the A. P. A., a s cret oat.»'bnund political organ* i.miion. The Republican publish* es what purports to be the princio pbs * f the order, and insists that “everv oerson sh mid read them that he may come to know that thi organization is non such a ter
lih’v dangerous body ns its enemies have claimed ” No douht tbo republican party feels ruder last >ng obligations to the A. P, A. No doubt, to a considerable extent it may bi cn di ed’with the result, of the recent elections. In 1 854 the Know No*ning order—secret
oath-bo and, political—its princi* pies as plaus’ble as taose of illA P. A., published in the Republican, in resoonse to the mandates of its Executive Committee joinec in support of the Whig ticket, anc the people of that day were treato ed to a surprise similar to that o:i tue late election. In this o : grace, 1893. the American people h ive been treated to a repetition of the programme of 1854. No true American will give up his right to vote according to the die* tates ot his conscience. The individual who really prides in his independence will not seek mem* bership in a secret, oath-bound, political organization.
Senator lurpie in a rec9nt in* terview says there is nothing sub* stautial in the Republican victories of last week. He looks upon them as an off-year demonstration of no significance. Aside from the disappointments of many and the indifference of others, “may be added,” he says, “the wide spread effects of a severe monetary de* pression Yet the panic was the very child of protection and monopoly. It was the legitimate offspring of that numerous family of t *usts and frauds in class laws and caste legislat on which has for many years been engaged in dimin* ishing the value of the products of land and labor, and in devouring the lessening remnants that is left. T his is not a tune to lower the Democratic banner or abate one jot or tittle of the;lan or principin ot Democratic reform. “The evils which h ve at last fallen upon us, if thirty years of wasteful public expenditures, io-> justice, error and misrnie, cannot be remedied in an hour or a day. Time is a necessary element in all amendment.”
It is reported that the ways and means committee of the house is almost unanimously in favor of an income tax. The onl/objection raised against an income tax is that it is inquisitorial. No inquiries are made when the consumer pay 6 a tariff tax, and the man who sup* ports the largest family is required to pay most, because he buys most. If a man enquir-d avery time he purchased a tariff-taxed article how much government tax he paid on it, the tariff would soon become odious and people would demand that some other system-of taxation be adopted. There is no mquisitiveness about a tariff tax. The tax is slapped on the ai tide and the consumer pays it. The Chicago Herald says the first que. tion that congress should consider in imposing an income tax is whether it, is fair and just to require men to contribute to the support of government in proportion to their ability rather than in proportion to their necessities, and that there cm be only one answer returned to that question by any fairsminded man.
