HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. WMkksMd Dmoentt of Today I4kf tho Btpibllnai of ISM. The Reform dab ol New York had s big tariff reform meet ng in Little Falls, N. Y., on Feb. 22. Tl^ere was great opposition to the meeting. At 7:80 p.m. the opera honse had not been lighted, bat few people had «*rived, and the prospects for a saceeei fnl meeting were not flattering. ft was t hen that the lead* ing Democrats, who hi d given but half hearted support to the arrangements, began to decline the hrnor of acting as chairman to introdnoe Mr. W. B. Estell, the speaker. Diagustec at the cowardice of the Democratic politicians, the Reform ckib representative at last asked Mr. P. W. Cader, a manufacturer and farmer, bat not a politician, if le would preside. He gladly consented to do so. Here is a part of what he said: “We all understand he object of this meeting. Not even tht most radical of oar Republican friends elaim that Democratic laws have cause ! any of the hard times through which we are passing. They only chum that it is the fear of what may happen shoo! d the Wilson bill become a law that has caused the stagnation in trade and the closing up of our m<HiL “There can be no question but that the passage of proper tariff reform measures will not only restore our former prosperity, but greatly enhance it. He will also show that tbo present depression is due hot to Democratic measures or the fear of Democratic measures, but to the condition the oountry was left in by the actual results gt Republican laws and Republican mismanagement. 1 know that there are many within these walls tonight who ane sorry that they voted for Cleveland ant a change in the national policy. Bat 1 want to tell them that had th*e Republics? party continued their extravagant rule and financial policy we would be suffering ten times as

badly today as wear© now. “The condition of these weakkneed Democrats is the same as was that of many Republicans after the election of Lincoln. They had voted for Lincoln and the abolition of slavery, but when they began to realize what a radical change it would make—the secession of the south and the utter prostration of the business interests of the country— they weakened and. were sorry that they voted the right way, and many of the leaders in the Republic m party, notably the leader of that party in this state, advocated abandoning the principles upon which Linooln was elected and allowing slavery not only to continue in the south, but to extend right through the states to California. I believe in the future, when we look back to the time when we voted for tariff reform, we will do so with as much satisfaction as those who voted for the abolition of slavery and fought and tyed for that cause.” Alabama and the Tariff. Senators Pugh and Morgan are understood to stand with Senator Gorman's “conservatives” in demanding a duty on iron and coal. Who and what do they represent? ▲ majority of the votes of the Alabama delegation in the Chicago convention were cast for the nomination of Grover Cleveland, who embodied the Democratic demand for genuine tariff reform. In the election that state gave a plurality of nearly 130,000 over Harrison and 53,000 over Weaver in favor of the Democratic candidate, who stood upon a platform expressly commending free raw materials. In demanding the retention of more tkap one-half the McKinley taxes on iron and coal Senators Pugh and Morgan do not, therefore, represent the political sentiment of their state. No more do they represent truly the material interests of Alabama. Wonderfully as the iron industry has grown in that state, the pig iron product in 1892— 115,000,000—did not equal in value the corn product alone. The cotton crop was worth in that year 150,000,000. The value of the coal output in 1890 was only *8,707,000. The persons engage* in agriculture, trade and transportation and professional and personal services outnumber more than ten to one those engaged in mining. Besides this, no state stands in less need of “protection” for its coal and iron mines than does Alabama. Pennsylvania needs protection rgainst her most formidable southern competitor far more than Alabama needs protection against England or Nova Scotia. Pig iron is made more cheaply in Alabama than anywhere else in this country or in the world. With free Bessemer ore imported from Cuba, it has been claimed for iron works in that state, and no doubt truly, that they can make steel cheaper than it can be made elsewhere. The whole country would be benefited, Alabama included, by fbee raw materials. In what interest do her senators favor taring them?—New Yo rk World.

An Anarchistic £ aggestloa. The course of the tariff discussion in the senate does not tend to increase pop* ular respect or affection for our upper house. The selfishness, dissensions and apparent disregard of public needs which this august body is eochibiting are irritating and humiliating If akeg of dynamite were placed unde the senate wing, with a one hour fuse attached, and these noble solons locked into their chamber with a notification that they would be let out when they had voted on a tariff bill and not before, thsre would be harmony and action with { Teat promptness. But a little thing like the injury to commerce resulting from uncertainty and delay is entirely inadequate to quicken fheir gut—Dry Goods Economist. Who Cots the Profit? Even should the government give the bounty to the plantation hands instead of to the capitalists employing them, their wages would not be increased. Workers in the Paris restaurants who are “tipped” liberally lose just that much in the wages they get. h some instances the proprietors are pj id for the privilege of working in the: r establishments. -r-Courier. /
