The American Iijiirr sstft tbst a
protective tariff ia one tbst mskee pro k
section its msin object, cr at leaat one
of its leading objects. While revenue
may be one of tbe objects io the tariff
of the Republican party, yet protection
is not only one of ite objects also, but
its leading and controlling object. On
tbe other hand tbe Democratic tariff is
levied for revenue, and while it is Isvied
for revenue, and that is its object, it
can be so levied on imports which com pete
with home production as to srTord
incidentsliy protection and encourage
ment to home industry. So that the
distinction between the Democratic
tariff and tbe tariff of the Republican
party Is this : while the latter makes
protection its object, and indeed, its
leading object, tbe Democratic tariff
makes revenue ite object, aad protec
tion simply sn incident resulting from
discriminations as to the srtiolee of
m port on which it it levied. W here
fore, it is plain, tbst the Republicsn
tariff is the protective tariff, and the
Democratic tariff is tbe revenue tariff.
And the revenue collected to support
the Federal Government has become so
Urge tbst mere incidental protection
will afford all the encouragement to
home indsutry snd labor, whiob is
needed, without producing monopolies.
Hers is the distinction between the two
partiee on this subject. Tbe mere in
cidents! protection of the Democratic
revenue tariff should never be confound
ed with the protective tariff of tbe Re
publics party, which makes protection
its main or a leading object.
Tbe protective peliny of tbe no-called
Republican party builds up mooopoliea
and factitious interests,- and gives un
just advantage to a few over the
many. And became upon these
grounds the Democracy opposes tbe
protective jwlicy of tbe Republican
party, the free trade men step in snd
try to get tbe Democracy to repudiate
even the incidental protection of the
Democratic revenue tariff, which, while
it encourages and protects home pro
ductive industry and labor sufficiently,
does not build up monopolies or give
unjust sdvantages to the fov ovr the
many. These things must not be con
founded ; that is, the protective policy
of the Republicsn party roust not be
confounded with the mere incidental
protection in the Democratic revenve
tariff, which ia essential to the prosper
ity of the material business interests of
the country.

We ere glsd to live in a judicial dis
trict presided over by a judge who has
back-bone and that is just the esse
with Judge Hanna. An officer of his
court disobeyed s temporary writ of
injunction issued to stay a mandate of
the Supreme Court until argument
could be beard in a oaae Urn, impeaoh
ed the integrity of Justice .Lord, The
Supreme Court with bast that lacked
decency and showed petulant irritation
nstead of the cool judgment expected
of the august tribunal ordered the hes
itating Sheriff to enforce iu mandate
and be did so at the risk of contempt
for the court that he waa primarily
bound to obey. Judge Hanna bas
properly resented this indignity by or
dering the Sheriff to undo what he has
done in the premises, and has imposed
a fine on the party for whom the Sheriff
was scting.
Tbe Supreme Court might have hsd
decency and dignity enough to await
the result of the oomplaint against one
of its members but it did not and we
commend" Judge Hanna for ssserting
ths dignity and jurisdiction of his own
court a i he should. Oregon SentineL

in tbe Democratic prohibitory law muse
not be taken to mean wine or beer,

no cause to the contrary being shown,

stand from under and let tbe saloons

below the bape of resurrection. Tbey
have found that inherently and dread
fully wicked aa it is, and freighted with
the secumulstions of the popular wrath

It tbe mind snd heart of Iowa know

its home and individual life, upon un

right when the Democratic party there
said so ; it is just as right now. It was
