Entered at the iiust office ui Hope, Indiana* as second class matter. THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1894. Cheaper diamonds and dearer sugar is now the doctrine of the democratic party, as shown by its ‘ ''patch-work tariff bill. Tim nearer Congress gets to the repeal of the '‘odious McKinley law," a.id the consequent opening of the “markets of the world” to the farmers, the lower wheat persists in going. This is really discouraging. —Kansas City Journal. George F, Kimball the wellknown jobber of window and plate glass says; ‘“I nm a Democrat myself, and most of my men voted for the democratic candidate at the last election but in the face of the situation not mie of them would do it again if the opportunity offered.” Contentkii I a I Mir Is cap! 1 ill’s best protection and faithful ally. From Pvesidon:Cleveland's Second Annual Messa;-reto Congress December, iHHtt. Was labor made discontented under tlie present administration for the express purpose of depriving capital of its * “best protection and faithful ally?” Has the President been endeavoring to create party and class distinctions, the poor against the rich?—American Economist. Tlie Democratic Predicament When the democrats made their pledge to reduce the tariff and to cripple the policy of protection, the country was in a prosperous condition, and it looked as if they might redeem such a pledge without precipitating a serious misfortune. It tad not seem possible that any change in the tariff system would make any great difference. That feeling really led to the election of Cleveland. A large number of those ■who voted for him thought that the proposed experiment might be safely tried, mid that in any case there would be no panic and no calamity. Hut they were mistaken in that view, ns they soon ascertained when the effects of tlie dcmoeratic victory began to be felt. They know now that the prosperity which they supposed would continue in any event was dependent upon the conditions that had been established and maintained by the republicans. Things began to assume an ominous aspect directly after the beginning of the new administration; and they grew steadily worse until all forms of industry and all kinds of business were terrible depressed. The sky looks a littlebrighter than it did six months ago, but the clouds are still there, and tlie fact is manifest that • tariff reform is not calculated to disperse them. If another election were to lie held today, the majority in favor of a restoration of republican rule would be overwhelming. It is impossible, however, for the Democrats now to turn back. They ' are bound to go ahead with their j scheme of anti-protection legislation, j It means defeat for them, but to stop where they are would be to | invite the same result. They are i committed to a course from which I they can not escape, whatever the! consequences may be. If they could j evade the responsibility, they would! gladly do so, but that is but of the | question. They are delaying the | passage of the Wilson bill with, the j hope that it may be tinkered into a more acceptable shape, or that the circumstances may change to its ■ advantage; but there is no reason to j believe that they will gain anything ia that way. The fact that they arc pledged to a policy of hostility to ' protected industries is well under- j . l00 d, and it has caused general j alarm and apprehension. They can ! not amend the pending measure hi I jcii Li. tis to make it sutisfuc -,

1 lory even to their own party. Its ! purpose is destructive, its principle i is antagonistic to the interest of all j classes. The people arc against it foi reasons which are conclusive. ; It is in every respect tlie worst tariff 1 bill that lias ever been formulated. The men who concocted it arc free j traders, and the party by which it is to be inflicted upon the country is | a free-trade organization. There is no way to prevent its passage, hut i it should be resolutely fought at every step, and it will surely be repudiated at the polls. —St. Louis . Globe-Democrat. REPUBLICANS.
