May call your own nest.

The joy bells to ring.

And reign as my bride

Many of tlie Republican writers*
and members of Congress, pretend to
be in high glee over the President’s,
message on the tariff. This is the ex
ternal show, but they are trembling
only, for they know the putrefaction
which exists in tlieir doctrines and
also their exposure in the President’s
message. Their bravadoes are infalli
ble symptoms that they are wounded,
yea, strlken to the vitals, The Presi
dent’s positions are homethrusts from
beginning to end. Tlie rope-dancing
of tile protectsonistH, their cunning
quibblings, and exquisite ballancuigs,
can serve them successfully no longer
as they linve done in tlie past. Their
beautiful theories, of protecting
"American Industry,” are melted in
tlie (ires kindled by tlie President’s
exposition of tho robberiesoommitted,
anil which have been concealed by
exquisite bullanciugs of tlie advooates
of the protective tariff system. The
hand of the protective tariff writer
will tremble us lie undertakes, after
tiiis, to tell the people that tlie mes
sage is at fault, and that tlie man who
pays a tar upon everything lie uses
running from forty-five to over one
hundred per cent, for the protection
of American Industry, is a fortunate
and ought to be a happy man. What
a noble jocky such a writer is and
how lie ought to bo patted on the
back by the people of Georgia, who
while paying but a little over a mil
lion of dollars taxes to tlie State are
forced to pay fifteen millions by’ the
protective tariff, partly, for tile Unit
ed States government, but mainly to
fill the coffers of the manufacturers!
President Cleveland seeing monstrous
iniquity exposes tlie tricks of the
high tariff rope dancers and conies
boldly to tlie relief of tlie people.
We have labored long in the cause
of tlie people. We have published
hundreds of urtieles exposing tlie
frauds of tlie monopolists, and ar last
the tariff quill quivers iu endeavoring
to defend them. Many were deceived
hj' the euphonious teachings of the
tariff quill drivers, and tho eloqueut
periods of the tariff orutors, but more
than this, the iiorrid wrong has been
kept up by the anti-democratic party
which field the reigns of power. Tlie
day of retribution has at last dawned
and is growing unto remedial sun
shine. Our great President, the
friend of tlitr people, tlie friend of jus
tice, has taken tlie lead. His expose
of the evil is complete. Democrats
should rejoice that under his bold
and decisive lead, all the evils, that
lowered over us, may be in tlie deep
bosom of tlie ocean buried, A new
year has dawned upon us, and in its
light may, we hope, be mingled the
glorious light of freedom from tariff
robbery. We speak plainly without
equivocation or doubtful meaning-
let tile tariff robbery cease and be
buried forever under the indignation
of the American people.

If the maufacturers thought the
President’s tariff reform talk meant a
reduction of laborers’ wages, they
would all vote the Democratic ticket,
and urge their employes to do like
wise.
