Congress was called to formulate a tariff measure which would increase the revenues of the government. Duties on imports make up the revenue Protective dutien are destructive of import trade; destroyed import trade cuts off re ven u.. Protective duties increases the cost of liying. The masses will pay tribute to the owners of the product of labor. A tariff so obstructed as to place mo - ■ ney in the coffers f the government, will also reduce the cost of necessities to the consumers. A tariff constructed on “ protective” lines enrijhes the few and impoverishes the many. - ♦ The bril unt, gorgeous, pleasing headline “Tariff Bill Rushed Along!” has given way to “Slow Progress With the Bill !”- “Foraker Charges Bad Faith and Corrupt Combination, at which Ulis.n Gets Mad” —Democrats Enjoy the Wrangle!” Etc. —- •«- ♦- . “The prospeiity which wasipromised was prosperity to special interests, not to the people at 1 irge. The people have not realized it and while legislation is for the classes instead of the masses, t ey never will.”—Fro n the Platform of the lowa Democratic Convention

Someone seems to have been working upon the fears of our neighbor of the Republican, and be hastens to warn republicans against a gaudily arranged convevancejwhich he claims is going over the country scattering pernicious literature in the interest of W J Bryan and the Democratic party The “venture” of the young man of the Journal “to say that t e headline in the newspap.rs most pleasing to the eyes of he majority of the people of the country is that which says “Tariff Bill Rushed Along!" caused a sickly smile to illumine for a moment the countenances of his partisan friends They consider his youth and inexperience and give him credit fo r good intentions, otherwise they would charge him with mocking at theiroal .m----ities and laughing at their fears. They k ow full well that protection to American labor means after all the owners of the product of labor! They know full well that the effect of the tariff bill now before congress will be to divert revenue from the go eminent treasury and place it in the coffers of t o own .rs of the productof Libor!! They know full well ‘hat .t will increase the cost of living to the misses to the enrichment of the trusts combines an monopolies of the land!!!

It is not * good thing to make the pub Ho believe thr t sunshine and shadow depen l upon the government at Washington, for it tendsf to induce the people to eun too much on tne government, e coer'.ges and fosters a taste for paternalism md weakens popular self-ielivnce. It is not a good thing for any party, either, because it is not always possib eto carry out a contract tc make prosperity. This fact is evidenced in the pickle the present administration findsiteelf in.—Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader. Very few of our republican cotemporaries that have been proclaiming the ani. val ofjprospeiity have got up to the plane o the Emporia (Kas.) G .zette. That vivacious molder of public opinion describes its advent thus: “It is surging all ovvr the farm. Down in the orchaid—where the cutworms haven’t dammed th ngs up—the w .vo is lapping upon the Iruna . of the trees-, and strawberries, and blackberries, >nd gooseberries have to be skimmed off ihe crest of the wave every ■ orning with a road scraper. Pretty soon t ie peaches and the cherr es will be on the wave, and then it will take a tin roof roof to gather them." It is lucky for Jeiry Simpsontbat he is away from home. He might be asphyxiated by prosperity before he could get out of the state.
