Keauce appropriations and there will be no necessity for incre&std taxation. The proper way to meet increasing deficts is to put a stop to bilUiou dollar appropriations. Bring down the appropriations and expenditures, and there will be ro necessity for lucreused taxation. M. A. Hanna, chairman of the republican Lational committee, has ’succeeded in getting thejtaxon beer knocked out of the tariff bill now before that He favors an increase of duties on wools and woolens, leather, lumber, tea, sugar, etc. From the solioitude expressed by our neighbor of Ihe Republican concerning the status of the “protective tariff bill” in the Sens ate, and the failure of ‘prosperity* to materialize under the present administration, it is evident he is becon.'jg alarmed at the increasing d scoutent manifested by the rank and file of his party.

The Republican says that “the friends of Ge . Lew Wallace are already opening the campaign for his election to the United Slates senate and will press his claims by all honorable means from now until the choice is made.” “Honorble means” will be a new policy for them, and wilh prove a failure.— Judge Turpie will be returued The Republican says that as an “evidence of the growth of protection m the Houth” Senator El kins and others of his kidney from that section “will vote for the protective tariff bill.” Senator Elkins has b g coal interests from which he expects to d rive big profits in case the “protective tariff bill” becomes a Jaw.

The above is reurolaced by the Republican to invoke sympathy for the ‘wool producers.” The nigh protective manufacturers ar*» importing this wool to forestall the operations of the law now before the Senate. They will add the increased tax to the price of their products for the consumers to pay. They care only foi themselves, and is it not high time for the masses - :he to look after tl r individual interests. Thev should oppose all efforts to exact tribute from the many to concentrate wealth in the hands of the few.
