"For the lir.-t lime in thirty two
year the tlcmocnil ic jmrty fun Is it
pelf in a position where it will lie
com pel leil, after the fourth of March
next, to assume the full rcspou

Many measures have been passed
through the democratic bouse, em
bodying features which never
would have been embraced in a bill
laid not tbe democrats themselves
known that those features could
not In- passed through the senate.
WImmi the senite, altliotiuh rcpubli
liean, ihially passed a free coinage
bill, the democratic house, having
nn enormous majority, failed to
pass the bill, although a large ma
jority of the democrats in that Hume
house bad been previously com
niitted to the free coinage of Hilver.
I was well known that President
Harrison would have vetoed
wny such measure had it
been passed, and a large
number of democrats, fearing that
uch an opportunity would
treiurtlieii President Harrison in
the east, joined with the republi
cans and killed the bill. The repub
Iicana opposeu me measure u
cause they did not think that it
would be good legislation. The
tletuocints, many of them, opposed
it simply as a political trick. Several
democratic houses in the past
twelve years have formulated a re
vision of the tarilT. One of their
bills, known as the "Mills bill,"
oassed the house. The others of
those bills were defeated by the
votes of Randall democrats, who
joined the republicans in opposing
Its passage.
The congress dill not in any way
attempt to form a general tarill bill
The ways and means committee
headed by Mr. Springer, merely put
through the house several small
bills, well knowing that the senate
would not pas a single one of
them.
yuite a uuinber of democratic
journals are now claiming that, on
account of the election, the repub
lican senate should now aid in the
passage of those unfinished mens
ures. Is there any where on record
another such case of monumental
cheek? These journals would have
the republican members of the sen
ate join in the passage of measures
in which republicans do not believe
simply to relieve the democratic
party from the responsibility of
that legislation. No republicans
will be fool enough to he caught
with that kind of chalT.Kepublicans
ueneve in tne lantl law as it now
Mtanda. We know, it has been work
ing wellfor the nation during the
short period of its existence. Yi
have full faith in its beneficial
effects in the future.
Hut, these journals tell us, the
people by their votes have decided
against the ".'icMnicy lull. 1 hey
tell as that the people have finally
promoted in favor of certain rcdical
changes in legislation on certain
great itestions which were at
issue in tbe last campaign. That
uiav be true. For the sake of th
argument, let us admit that it is
true. Docs it follow on the account
that the republicans should them
selves vote for measures which
they do not believe r Such radical
changes of law are seldom, if ever,
attempted during the "short ses
sion" of congress. There lire only
about s-eventy working days in a
''short session" of congress. All of
the time is needed properly to form
and pass the appropriation bills
and other bills of urgent necessity.
To prepare a bill for the revision ot
the tarill on the lines laid down in
the Chicago platform will require
months of hard work. That is the
kind of work which the democratic
party has been promising the peo
ple that it would itself perform
when once in power. If the demo

A I ready several democrats elected
to tin' next congress are beginning
to 'hedge" on the tarilf ijueslion.
Many ol theni are advising the
parly to "go slow." If these gentle
men believe that the people have
itinoiinced their will upon this
great ipiest ion, and it they lielieve
that the recent election shows that
the people are in favor of a radical
hange in the revenue laws, why do
they call out "go slow.- What
sense is there in going slow? Is it
possible that there is any danger in
oing too fast, if the road is the
proper one and the one in which it
is for the nation to travel':
It may as well be understood,
once lor all, mat the replliiucan
party believes in a protective tarilf.
We believe ilso in reciprocity,
and that that doctrine is working
well for this country.
We are utterly opposed to re
establishing the old system ol
"state banks."
The republican belief is now ex
pressed in the laws, and as long as
the republicans have perfect faith
in all those doctrines there will be
no changes made by republican
votes. The democratic party chum j
that the people have decided
against the present policy of the
government and in favor of demo
cratic notions upon those vital
questions. Very well. Admit that
such is the case. The question is,
by whom should those changes be
made? Certainly not by the people
who believe that such changes
would in j in e the country. The
democratic party has been clamor
ing for these changes for years.
The republican party has net its
face solidly igainst them all.
Why? Hecause it has not believed
that change would result in good
to the people of the nation. The
democrats tell us they believe that
good results will follow. Very well,
gentlemen! Go ahead! Pass your
laws if you believe in them! Then
take the responsibility yourselves!
If all the blessings follow such leg
islation which you have been
promising for years, you will be en
titled to all the glory; and you
should not seek to havcthat glory
shared by a republican senate.
It is a little curious to see our
democratic friends hemming and
hawing so soon, seeking delays,
sort of trembling, as it were, on the
brink. A month ago they seemed
to be tumbling over each other in
their eagerness to get to the edge
of the pool, where they could throw
themselves into the waters of a free
trade tariff and of wild-cat money.
Thirty days have not elapsed, and
yet chills are already running up
ami down the backs of a large num
ber of these noisy financiers, and
they are fairly shaking for fear
that some one will take them at
their word and push them over the
brink. Why all this hesitation?
Why tremble at all? Can it be pos
sible that they have been preaching
something that they did not be
lieve? That they really never meant
what they said? Ifthev have been
in earnest, if they have been hon
est, why seek to throw thr responsi
bility of legislation upon their op
ponents? Yh) not accept the
' logic of the stiuation?"
Democratic gentlemen may as
well utop first as last seeking legis
lotion of that kind from ihe repub
bean party. We believe as firmly
in the viciousness of such legisla
tion as we did before the election.
ICvery republican will oppose it in
every manner possible, while re
publicans control, every step taken
in a direction which he knows will
be disastrous. More than that, we
shall not cease to warn the demo
cratic paity of the dangers which
we believe lie in the path of all such
legislation. The republicans ot the
next congress will speak against it,
vote against it and in every way
emphasi.e their conviction that
such legislation will be disastrous
to the country.
A large majority of demon .its no
doubt believe that in such conclu
sions we are wrong anil that thev
are right. They claim to believe,
and believe honestly, that a taritt
"lor revenue only" will bless our
country; that reciprocity is a Iraud;
that it is well for the country to re
turn to the old system of state

with the cash balance above the

fads fully justify the opinion that
the large increase in receipts can
be ascribed to the marvelous pros

The treasurer has difficult) with

will lie diminished below the r

at par has also increased the possi

creased to at least twenty

In the cure of all "female com
