AN IMPOTENT PARTY.

HOT SHOT FOR DEMS ALL ALQNG THE LINE. Items Which Go to Show Conclusively That the Party of Cleveland Is Utterly Unfit to Shape the Destinies of a Grcal People. No Protection in a Plagairlst. “Oh for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a dealily blight, Comes o'er the councils of the brave. And blasts them in their hours of might I” —Tom Moore's “Lalla Rookh.” “I take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party, who believe in tariff reform and know what it ia, who refuse to accept the results embodied .in this bill as the end of the war, who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of democratic tariff reform has been stolen and worn in the service of republican protection, and who have marked the places where the deadly blight of treason has blasted the counsels of the brave in their hour of might.”—Grover Cleveland’s Theft of Brains.

Lightening Those “Heavy Burdens.” The people have not yet discovered how the new bill “will certainly lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily” upon them. They have discovered, however, that the price of sugar has been increased by the democratic tax upon their breakfast tables, which they shrewdly suspect has something to do with those “influences” to Which the President was so susceptible when he failed to veto a bill containing “inconsistencies and crudities,” whjich, he says, should not appear ‘inlaws of any kind.” Having experienced this one result of ‘"influences” upon democratic legislation, the people are not anxious to witness any “further aggressive operations against protected monopoly,” Operations that result only in enhancing the cost of the people’s food through democratic “governmental favoritism.”
