MERCILESS PARTISANSHIP.
B#pabllrtoi t'nr*|r rdrul of the lnt -reaU
of the 1'eople.
The country it> still in a broad grin
over the beautiful manner in which
Tom Reed and the republican* were
,4put to sleep" by Speaker Crit-p when
the question of passing the seigniorage
bill over the president's veto came up
in the house the other day.
When Mr. Bland brought up the sub-
ject there was great glee anion(f the
irepublicana. Their leaders, with smil-
ing faces and chuckling lips, eagerly
gathered in consultation, laying their
plans for the fun they expected to have
At the expense of the democratic side
of the house. They would set their
opponents by the ears; they would
"egg" them on; they would give them
plenty of time and plenty of room, and
they expected the fur and dust to fly
and the democratic party to split wide
open. So engrossed were they in dig-
ging this pit for their opponents that
the speake*. in accordance with tha
rules, had ordered the vote, the first
name on the roll had been called, and
the republicans were buried in their
own pit before they could bat their
ley eft. Their weak, dazed and wholly
ineffectual efforts to extricate them-
lselves make one of the most ludicrous
chapters in congressional history.
Their little plot, which was thus frus-
trated, was in keeping with their entire
course since the democracy assumed
power. Since the 4th of March, 180H,
the republicans have never made a
movement which did not look to the
advantage of their party rather than to
the good of the country. It matters
not how grave has been the public ne-
cessity, or how serious the demand for
statesmanship and patriotism rather
than political intrigue and partisan-
ship, the republicans have never risen
above a desire to tie the hands of the
party in power, to divide it with dis-
sensions, and to protract and intensify
the evils from which the country was
suffering and from which it was crying
for speedy relief, because by so doing
they thought they could arouse the
wrath of the people against the demo-
crats.
They pursued this policy of obstruc-
tion and irritation with reference to
Ithe repeal of the Sherman act, voting
for it at last when they could no long-
er prevent a vote, and immediately aft-
erward making a concerted effort to
prevent the recuperation of the coun-
try by insisting that the business de-
pression had not been due to the Sher-
man act, but to the fear of tariff re-
form, proceeding, at the same time,
with systematic efforts to incite a fear
iof tariff reform.
They are pursuing the same policy
with reference to the tariff bill, doing
all they can to prevent a settlement of
tariff legislation because they believe
that continued uncertainty, however
much it may injure the country, will |
also injure the democratic party.
Their plan in the house to get up a
iloug wrangle over the seigniorage bill
veto was simply another effort to make
party capital at whatever cost to the
oommon good, which is now so depend-
ent upon financial stability and integ-
rity.—Louisville Courier-Journal
TAXES AND PROSPERITY.
|ll(h Tariff Productive of Hard TIbm
and Bankruptcy.
When the failure of a prudent farm-
ers' crops creates a gap between the
receipts and expenditures on settle-
imsnt day he immediately contrives io
[reduce expense* and increase reve-
nue*. Any other courae would entail
'bankruptcy in the end. When busi-
ness is dull snd the profits on reduced
|sslss falls to meet the fixed chargea of
the enterprise the prudent merchant
>er manufacturer sets about devising
(means to redmce rents and minimize
other expenditures to the end that
threatened insolvency msy be averted.
When an intelligent people are bur-
idened with charges beyond their ca-
Ipacity to pay, the wise courae ia *o
(adopt measures to lessen the charges
>ao that their labor may be released
from needless taxation.
The American people are suffering
from excessive taxation. When busi-
ness is brisk, sales rapid and profits
llarffe the merchant can stand high
rent, liberal wages to employes and
eoetly methods of transacting busi-
Ineae. When crops are abundant and a
'ready market supplies an active de-
mand at high prices, the fsrmer doesn't
feel the expense of implements. But
(when conditions are reversed, and in-
stead of profits as the result of busi-
ness effort in the store or ceaseless toil
ion the farm, the round-up shows s
iloaa, economies roust b« Introduced to
^prevent disaster. Then s difference of
a few hundred dollars a year in wages
and rent and a few dollars apieoe on
'farm machinery becomes a matter of
Importance.
After the war the release of a vast
,army with large sums representing
their wages in their pockets made busi-
mess all through the country lively.
.Priees were high because the money
iwaa aotively employed. Taxes were
high, but that made no difference.
Profits were so large that the amounts
Idrawn by means of taxation were not
misaed. But gradually things have
changed. Profits have dwindled and
everything has decreased except taxes.
They go on and increase while the
ability to pay is lessened. The conse-
quence is bankruptcy, and the remedy
is in reducing the charges. Any capa-
ble business man or intelligent farmer
understands this.—Kansas City Times.
Gen. John C. New has given the
tip to the Harrisonians. He says that
Mr. Harrison will not accept a renomi-
nation unless there should be *'a great
emergency." The Harrisonian plan of
campaign includoa the manufacture of
*'a great emergency.'* The thing is
very simple. All the Harrison men
have to do is to capture a majority of
the delegates to the national conven-
tion and nominate Mr. Harrison. This
would create an emergency sufficiently
great for all practical purposes.—Buf-
falo Courier.
Again Gen. Harrison denies that
he is a candidate for the presidency.
Even the incredulous will begin to
realize that he is in the running and ia
to stay.—Detroit Free Tress.
