'.- What Will the terdict Be!
In the present tariff debate before
Congress, It is evident, that the sche
duled tariff bill will be passed and
become a law. This bill but'earriea
Dut the policy of the republican party
is emunclatcd in their platform. ; We
f-the south know that the party which
advocates High tariff is the party of
special privilege, but the thing whica
astounds us, Is, how can a represen
tative elected on the Democratic plat
form advocate a tariff for protection?
The fundamental principles ;of Demo
cracy are ' flMtojo!) itt' to- "protection
md the declaration has been made
from every convention and embodied
'n every platform for the last half
century, "therefore "can be no guess
work on the part of democratic repre
sentatives, especially - those of the
30uth.' The Southern people," as a
lass, are not recipients of the bene
tts derived from protection end loose
ipon such legislation as robbery.
They, the mass of democratic voters,
lend representatives to the national
:ongress to represent tbelr views an
'.0 u Be every effort to defend measures
hat are hffrtful to the Interest of the
ieople of this great secUjn, and if not
'ble to defeat to go on record as hav
ng used all the means at their hands
igatnst such measures whether It met
heir personal Judgment or not Ser
vants of the people; they are not
lords and masters over what they sur
rey. The question arises in our mine
bow can' these- members from tbe
jouth meet the people for reduction
it the -tariff. With, what confidence
can they ask a' people, support? They
have proven traitor to their trust,
their braying betrays them even
though they endeavor to hide their
Identity in the clothing of a democrat.
These men roamed the country, cry
ing: Repeal the tariff and. the very
first opportunity they get they vote
for protection. Would It be In order
to say : "Consistency, thou a't a Jew
el". It, strikes us-that it will be hard
to get a thinking people to confide
'heir votes to those whose election Is
the only consideration and whose rc
flection when cited to the source of
their glory and honor is,, "dams the
people." "', '
The people are growing thread-bare
with such representation. It la tlmt
to cull the tares from the wheat The
crying will represent not their per
sonal wishes or Ideas, their sections,
regardless the glory they gain by be
ing in the swim.--These revisionists,
we do not hold with. Give ns Free
Trade, flat footed. '

Congress Until July. ,
Washington, . May 6. The poaslblK
(ties of the passage of the tariff Mil
md the adjournment of the special
session of Congress befure June 15 or
Tuly 1, seem to have vanished. This
conclusion has been reached by the
President as a result of recent talks
with Senators and Representatives,
tnd he made H known. The Senate
ts not making the headway.wlth the
ldrlch measure that was, .expected
nd before the new tariff law can be
oresented to the President foP his act
on there must ensue a long confer
ence between the representativee or
'he two houses of Congress. Among
'hose who have followed the trend or
'm portant legislation on tbe tarlT
'here Is a belief that the real UrtT
revision bill remains to be framed in
inference. Whatever Influence Prest
lent Trft feels he can bring to bear
'n securing a satisfactory measure wilt
be exerted upon the conference.
