j R»*v*ublicans t through correspond:!nls
aid he press, have been on mg at the
delay of tiie CotumiUe on Ways and
Mean- of the_H n«e lor not. reporting
the tariff hill, when, in fact tl e hill wo

i s t bee fo llit obstructive a lies of
! Ih< Republicans Ihcmst Ives it is well
known that as far as the m«j rity if
the eoirmittee was eoueerneil.thev had
agreed upon the bill substantially -as it
now stands; tliat every moments delay
was due to the non-action of the Repub
lican minority; that everything possible
was do&e to delay ami prevent final ac
tion by the committee, aud then, when
linal action could be delayed no longer,
they asked for time to make a minority
report. Time was allowed, but no
repot t was made* aim finally the major
ity of the committee gave their report
to the press. This lias created a howl
from the Republicans, who say it was
not proper for the Democrats to submit
untill the Republicans were ready, but
the fact is, tliat there is no prospect of
their ever being ready to make a
.asit is impossible for them to agree up
on a bill or report.
Democratic unity
The great cry that President Clevelan
d's tariff iressage was to disrupt the
Democratic party has - proven false; on
thecoutrary.it lias given to the party
a platform which eAery true DeMocrat
will rally, while like a thunder-bolt ii
lias rent into a dozen fragments what
was left of the Republican parly.
Every day in Congress some one of the
supposed faithfull comes out in deferen
ce to the demands of their constituents
and denounces the war tariff that is sap
ping the life out of the nation; makeing
the rich neher aud the poor poorer
Mr Cleveland read the signs aright and
saw it was time for the true Democracy
of the country to return iothe principles
that made the party inviuoidte in the
past and pre-eminently the party of the
people; he saw tliat the country was
groaning tinker the heavy burden of tax
ation that was piling up a mountvnn of
surplus in tho treasury and crippling
every industry and he boldly performed
what Ids great heart conoeived, and I>v
this stroke cleared the way for the De
mocratic party to retain power iu the
country for an unlimited tithe.
REPUBLICAN HISSES’HON
When Mr Blair wrote his letter stag
ing that ins name would notdepresent
e t to the Republican Convention at
.Chicago in June next there was great
rejoicing among the Giant Contingent,
the 306 ami their supporters, aud it
was prod limed that now there would
be a loving reunion of all the discordant
elements of the grand old party. A few
weeks'lias demonstrated the fact Ujat,
instead of liaimonizing, tho withdrawal
lias had a contrary eiiect. The frienbs
of the various candidates commenced
-«j.i . « -i ti • * •

ailed by each, when, behold! it is found
that (here is really no u .ion of sentime
nt and it will bo about as impossible to
unite on a platform as it will be on a
candidate.
Tiief leading spirits of the Blaine wing
of the party have becu in coufarenee
and correspondence, and fearing that
'f not mi iteii they might be downed in
the convention, have concluded to make
a united movement favoring Allison of
Iowa; mul it has gone out quietly to All
the old Blaine managers that Allison is
the man on whom the Plumed Knight’s
mantle lias fallen. There area few of
the old Blaine contingent who are not
ready to be turned over to a new mas
ter without a protest, and there is cou
-eipiently quite a tempest raging. All
the other Would be irwndiilates are up in
irms. nub efforts are being made to un
ite all the factions against Allison.
A Pritilris sL>i*i*:u:a
A printer sat in his office c! air. his
boots Vcre patched a id his coat thread
bare, and ins face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadlv thinking
of busiuoss dabts, old Morpheus slowly
around him cerpt, and la for ho know
it sad Icily slept; an d while sleeping
ho dreamed ho was dead, from trouble
and toil had fled, and that not even a
cow-hell tolled for the peace-full rest of
his cow-hide solo. As ho wan dared a
uong the shades, that stuoke and seor
r dt the lower hades, be shortly observed
an irou door, that cyeakingly hung on
hinges ajar, but the entrance was clos
ed with a red-hot bar, and Satan him
self stood peeping out, wate ting for
travellers thereabout, and tints to tlio
p assing printer spoke:
Come in, my dear, it shall cost you
j nothing, and never fear, this is the
place whore I cook the ones who never
pay taeir subscription sums, for though
in life they may escape, they will find
when dead, it is too ’ate; j will show

that the ampins is larger by virtue ol
ill* economy of the Administration;
they argue that proper extravagau ci
ivohl I have ieduced it,
This is the Republican form of opqo
sition to the wise policy of the Admin
-1 ration-. I’. as. illy they think a spir.
itrd foreign policy might ci hm metne
surplus, and eveu render higher taxes
necessary. '1 he opposition of a small
minority of ttie Democratie party is oi
like character. VVoiiderfall enough ts
it that the Republican party should
tqke tills ground of opposition, but
it passes wonber that any man callin g
himself a Democrat should opjiose this
most Democratic, poliey-oppose it even
at the iisk of dividing the party on so
plain an issue. They go with *L/. ..

wssaiies of life rather than the necess
aries.
THE REAL PROTECTION
1 am in fiver of real honest bins fide
protection-protection against all wrong
and injtsntice-evcii against the injusf
ice.wrong, and gross partiality now
practiced in the sacred name of protec
tion. ” I would protect all honest
industry against being pi mile red in
the interests of a lew wire workers.
I would protect the great hard
working mass of failing people against
the traps and deceptions of the douse-;
and managers. I would give the
people an honest platform of honest
qi juciples. I would cake the devil’s
hymn and make it serve Goe—the
false protectiinof monopoly and make
t the trb-j ufot'e ctio ol the citizens.
Who pay tariff taxes”?
There is a dim hut false idea aflon
in si me minds that somehow the ini--
poiter.the middle man, or the foreign
| mjnfactnrer pays the tax. By tracing
! the n maciion the mistke is revealed.
j - —— - / ---» ••• *•«'• me* |rt i»vt»| pnrtTl
i to the custom-house officer by the im
j boiler. Ihe importer adds the duty
J to, the price with his profits on both,
jC--fe sells at the incroseil price, iricltuling
1 t no. profit on piime cost and duty, to the
retailer, and he sells to the coasttniei
[ml a price iiiciiuling his profit on the
■nt ire cost. Out of of the

are paid by thr Citizen, not by the a

All these iusunmeutaltics aiv mere
conduits between the taxpayer and the
govarumonr. The taxpayers do not
i übiderstaud the operation. InState tax
; v-s thay understand it all— thdy sec pay
the trx collector and take a receipt
| In Federal taxation they bo not know
1 "’ho collects, when liovv, or for what
purpos c. They rse as ignorent as if
they hid no interest in the results, so
litiie do the people know of ihe direct
operation of the tariff.
With respect to the tax on fobac
co, I would retain the tax on cigars
ami cigarettes. 1 hoy are by no means
necessaries— ilit?i are the indulgecies
of gentlemen and dudes. As a meas
ure of compromise to effect agenaal re
duction cf tne tariff, I would consent
to aeniove the tax on tobacco iu all
