The cause for which the battle is waged is comprised within-lines clearly and distinctly defined. It should never be compromised. It is the people's cause. I ! It cannot be denied that the. sel fish and private interests which ' . ...... . t are so persistently :neara, wnen efforts are made to deal in a just and comprehensive '.manner with our tariff laws, are related to, u they are not responsible for, the sentiment largely' prevailing among the people, that the gen eral government is! the fountain of individual and private aid; that it may be expected to relieve with paternal care the distress of citi- zens and communities, ana mai from the fullness of; its Treasury it should, upon the slightest pos sible oretext of j promoting the current expenses of the paper. It has become a serious j) matter and tre jurge our iiatronslto r emit I promptly! should arrest attention and lea4 to reformation. SHARP CRITICISM OF CONGRESS. A few of the numerous illustra tions of this condition may be stated. The crowded condition of the; calendar of the Supreme Court and the delay to suitors and denial of justice resulting therefrom, have been strongly urged; upon the attention of the Congress, with a plan for the re lief ofj the 'situation approved by those well able to judge of its merits.

A plan in aid of Indian manage ment, recommended by those well informed, as containing valu able features in futherance of the solution of the Indian problem, has thus far failed of legislative sanction, while grants of doubtfu expediency to railroad corpora' lions, I permitting mem to pass through Indian reservations, have greatly multiplied The; propriety and necessity of the erection of one "or more pris ons for! the confinement of United States rcdnvicts.- and a post-office building in the national capital, 1 .

The extent to which the consideration of such matters subordinate and postpone action upon subjects oC great public im portance, but involving no special, private, or partisan interest, bv our cning the. cost of necessaries for tnemscives anu men iaiiin.. When to the selfishness of the beneficiaries of unjust discrinflna tion under our laws there shall be added the discontent of those who suffer from such discrimination, we realize the fact that the benefi cent purpose of our government, dependent upon the patriotism and contentmentof our people, are endangered. COMMUNISM AGAINST COMBINED 1 - 9 M 11 achieve-!. Communism is a nateiui mmg. could easily be made, which would rest upon just principles $nd provide for every worthy ap plicantj. But while our general pension laws remain confused and mperfect, hundreds of , private pension laws are annually passed, which (are the sources of unjust discrimination and popular de moralization. 1 Appropiiation bills for the sup port of the government are de faced bv items and provisions to meet private ends, and it is freely asserted bv responsible and ex perienced parties that a bill ap propriating money for public in ternal improvement would fail to meet with favociunless it contain ed items more for local and pri vate advantage than for public benefit. ' These statements can be much emphasized by an ascertainment of the proportion of federal legis- ation. which either bears upon its ace its' private character or which. pon examination, develops sucn motive power. And' yet the people wait and xpect: from their chosen repre sentatives such patriotic action as will advance the welfare of the ntire country; and this expecta- on can only be answered oy me nerformance of public duty with unselfish purpose. Our mission among the nations of the earth, and our success in accomplishing the wbrk God' has given the American neoole to do. require of those intrusted with the making and execution of our laws perfect devotion, above all other things, to the. public good. STATES RIGHTS. , devotion will, lead us to y resist an impatience 01 constitutional limitations of feder al power, arid to persistently check the increasing tendency;to extend! the scope of federal legis lation nto the domain of State and local jurisdiction, upon the plea ofisubserving the public wel fare. The preservation of the partitions between proper subjects of federal and local care and regu lation is of such importance under the constitution, which is the law of ourj very existence, that no consideration of expediency or sentinjnt should'tempt us to en -ter upon doubtful ground. We have undertaker, to discover and proclaim the richest blessings of a free government, with the con-j stitution as our! guide. Let us follow thejway it points out. It will not mislead us. And surely no one (who has taken upon him self the-solemn obligation to sup port and preserve the constitution can find justification or solace for disloyalty in the excuse that he wandered and disobeyed in search of a better way to reach the pub lic welfare than the constitution offers. (What has been said is deemed not inappropriate at a time when, from a century's height, jwe view the way already trod by the American people, and attempt to discover meir luturc path.
