SeXat QR j ONES> o f Nevada, as %me out square and fair for .ne Populists. He has for years been the ablest man on the republican side of the senate. Welcome Senator Jones.

After all the hue and cry of tariff reform for eighteen years, there is only 9 per cent, between the McKinley tariff and the new Democratic tariff. Both high protective measures. Big fuss for a little wool.

The railroads and other corporations of Illinois who own more than half the wealth of the state, pay less than one-eigth of the taxes, and just to the extent of dodging their just share, the poor devil of a farmer has to hump himself to pay his own and their’s too.

Plutocracy is clamoring for an increase of the military force of the nation. They want bayonets to hold what they have stolen through purchased legislation. Go ahead, gentlemen, in your effort to substitute a government of force for one of consent, but remember that in the substitution somebody will get hurt.

That which seems ta perplex most politicians, just now,, is iow to frame a resolution on the silver question, that they can make the people believe you are for free coinage, when they mean no such thing. Whenever a man or party favors free coinage, he or it will say: “I am in favor of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1.” If they refuse to say that, just say to them, “you are lying.”

Some Republican papers are complaining that the, tariff has been so reduced th&t many manufacturing establishments will be compelled to stop business, while others are rejoicing over the Democratic failure to accomplish anything like the reduction the party demanded. To the latter class belongs the Rensselaer Republican. That paper heads its notice of its par ty’s rallies with Cleveland’s pro test against the Gorman protection bill that became a law without his signature. These papers should agree upon some line of attack. Either say the new tariff bill is an out and out free trade measure or else call it a Gorman-Republican--Protection law. If this law is, as the Republican pretends to show, by Cleveland’s denunciation of it, a measure so much of protection that it falls far below the Democratic free trade.demands. it will surely have but little to say against it this campaign.

The Populist senators voted with the Republican senators and the three recreant so-called Democratic senators to send the free sugar bill to the finance committee which they knew would not report it back this session.—The Democratic Senti - nel.

Bro. McEwen like many other of our Democratic friends is complaining of the four Populist senators, because they did not make his party (the majority in the Senate) do what he wanted it to do. If his party failed to carry out its pledges it is no fault of the minority, the Populists and the Republicans; these two parties were not there to keep the Democrats on their platform. The Democratic majority in the senate did not want free sugar, Cleveland did not want free sugar, for he said in his Wilson letter, “sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation.” Carlisle did not want free sugar, for without the sugar tax he said there would not be sufficient revenue to run the government. How natural it is to say that somebody else is to blame.
