GOOD ADVICE,
The St: Louis Globe-Democrat
-warns the Kepublicana that they
will make a gr;V and costly
blunder if they rush into tariff leg
illation. The Glooe-Democrat is
one of the ablest Republican papers
in the country, but it believes that
the present tariff has not yet had a
fair trial and that with the return
of business activity it will be found
to furnish ample revenue for the
4Overnm3nt.
One of thestrongest points which
our St. Louia contemporary makes
against tariff agitation at this, time
is that it will have the effect of dis-
turbing business, and business con
fidence is what ine country : needs
most at this time.
The Globe-Democrat says :
"The demands at this time for an
extra session of congress to overhaul
the tariff and revenue laws which
come from various quarters is talk
to which the people will listen,; and
in the degree in which it is listened
to it is calculated to obstruct the
business revival now rapidly under
way. On the surface of things
these demands look reasonable. In
the four months recently ended of
the fiscal year the government's in
come fell $32,885,000 short of meets
ing its outgo, which would mean a
-deficit of about ' $98,000,000 in the
I fiscal year if the shortage continued
at this rate. Obviously it would be
the duty of Congress, at the earlie3t
practicable - moment, to bo change
the laws that this gap between rev
enue and expenditure should Ije
bridged over, and a small surplus
instead of large deficit be had.'
"No reasonable person, however,
believe! that the deficit is going to
continue at anything like the re
cent rate.
"This improvement will be, - or
v6 w uC, wuuUuu,, auu i win
UUb a"F"DO u " "iwuin comes in
.1897 like that which set in in 1879
fter the resumption of gold pay
ments, which had been susp ended
Tor seventeen years. Such a trade
Tevival would, to sach an extent, in
crease the consumption of goods on
which external and internal taxes
re imposed that the deficit under
the present act would go : down close
to the vanishing point, if it did not
dieappeir altogether. There are in
equalities and abnormalities in the
tariff act of 1894 some duties are
too low and others too high but
let us give it a chance to reveal
itself "under normal conditions.
JChese conditions willbe h?re soon
after President V McKinley's lLaugu
ration if the people who are how
demanding an extra sebSion subside
in the interval: As the gold scare
has'ended, and as the yellow metal
is pouring into the treasury, bond
sales will not hereafter be .reeded,
and one of the reasons for higher
revenues thus disappears. Next
spring an summer the country will
have a chance to learn in what parts
the present tariff law can be udvan
tageously altertdt and the work of
alteration fcan be done leisurely ana
intelligently in the regular session
which opens a little over twelve
months hence. In the meantime let
ua give business a lest."
This is sound sense and if the in
coming administration is wise it will
follow the line thus indicated. At
lanta Journal.
WHO ABE TI1E DEalOCKATS., -
The Atlanta , Democracy propose
to have a reckoning and to know
where the Democrats ' are at." A
committee of three seem to hold the
sceptre and all who find grace in
(heir eight are .to haye a feast at the
rein habilitated Democratic banquet
It makes us cast about a little to
know who is to be allowed to play in
the Democratic backyard now while
there is nothing particular going on.
Who is now the Democrat after the
straightest sect ? Is it he who is in
harmony "with the President? No ;
no, they say he is a gold, Wall
street Kepublican; duckshooter.
You must abuse him. If there is
no reason or sense in it just put the
more venom into it or you can't hol
ler down our ram barrel. Is it the
man that followed the Bryan banner
from Chicago ? No he was going to
bolt Democracy if it didn't tack
that banner on a silver staff, and
besides he voted for Weaver once.
Was it the heroic' band of the
golden crucifix from Indianapolis?
No you are bolters they say. Dem
ocrats do not bolt ? Thus we fail
to find any Democrats. But we get
the witch of Endor to call up the
dead with whom we are to find the
test of Democracy. But io and be
hold, those thunder tones so mighty
and so clear say silver to one ear
while they say gold to the other and
J etierson and J ackson fail too to
mark us distinctly.
Probably the way to find out will
be to let the Republicans take all
that will go with them, ana the
Populists take all that do so mor
tally hate the name Democrat, be
cause the Democrats are so awfully
unreliable and we can claim what is
left. Then if we adopt neither the
crow nor the seagull but the gentle
turtle dove whose plumage is tipped
with the silver and the golden hues
we may again nest together.
STE1E CLAY THE MAN.
Hon Alexander Stephens Clay is
the mau whc at iast wa8 nominated
on the 31st ballot for United States
Senator .from Geosgia. The contest
has been prosecuted with unusual
vigor. On6 by one dropped out of
the race and the contest lay between
Clay and Howell with four scatter
ing racers. Mr. Clay was a farmer
boy and forged his way to the front.
He served his state as speaker of
the House with winning ability, and
has led the Democratic ( hosts in
Georgia for the last two campaigns
to crowning victory over the bril
liant "Watson. It is more than grat
ifying that Mr. Howell, the virulent
agitator and vituperative politician,
was not rewarded for his infamy.
The Wilmington Messenger says
we raise about 400,000,000 pounds
of peanuts per year in tbis country;
Well it ! seems to' take about that
amount; in campaign : seasons to
keep up an everlasting cracking and
jaw .wiping at the public meeting i
