REPUDIATES IT.

The Chicago Herald, the leading Democratic paper in the west, and the particular mouth-piece of the Cleveland administration, has repudiated the Wilson bill. In a double leaded editorial it declares that it does not meet the pledges of tha Democratic party, that it perpetuates complication and is .the product of reduced absinthe | drinking and opium eating in the I domain of political economy. It says protection as established in the Wilson bill is bad enough, but the proposed income tax is ridiculous rAd intolerable, and the country will revolt against it; and, if under leadership, the Democratic majority in the house approves the monstrosity it will be routed in the next congressional elections. It concludes that the Wilson bill, plus an income tax, would be suicide for the Democratic party.
