Judge DeArmond, one of the Democratic leaders of the House, advocates a tariff.” To accomplish this, Mr. DeArmond admits tbe necessity of a transfer of control of the Government from the Republican to the Democratic party. This sounds very like the talk heard in 1892 which resulted in four years of Cleveland’s reign and a “wise and patriotic revision of the tariff," which revision it is estimated cost the country some ten billion dollars and caused more want and misery than a war. It is too soon after the "dark deya of the Wilson law” for the Democrats to successfully cry “Tariff reform.”
