TARIFF. NOT MONET.
A Republican Thinks this Will He the
Coming Issue.
April
Astoria.
Editor Astorian:
After the election of lh-Mident Cleve
land and the reversal of the Uepuhlican
policy of protection, hard times followed,
and it became apparent to the pn-Mdent,
and some of his political associates, that,
unless the Republicans could be drawn
away from the tariff question In the
coming campaign, the Democratic party
would he distanced in the race. The
president and his associat.'S, therefore,
wisely Inaugurated an agitation of the
money question, and wtth such success
have their endeavors been met that they
have succeeded In inducing many of the
leading Republican papers throughout
the land to discuss the money question to
the entire exclusion of the tariff question.
Now the tariff question Is the real Issue
between the Republican and the Demo
cratic parties, and Is the one upon which
the Republican party can succeed without
aount. ir tt win but stand firm In advo
cacy of Its tariff principles. This Is
demonstrated, by the mamer in which
McKlnley is being borne forward tow
ards the White House. It cannot be said
that his popularity Is due to his po-i:lon
on the money question: nor to the sun-
advocates of payment of the ;reenbacks ! port of tne politicians. for they are
In bonds. Major McKlnley said- "Routed aa,n" nlm: out "wnuse he Is the Ideal

from ihat position by the sober sense of j tariff. It Is upon that principle that all

Tet there are journalists and politicians
who profess ta think that Major MrKin
fey never squarely declared himself In
Ar of the gold standard and ugainst
unlimited coinage of sliver!
The writer of the communication signed
Gold" is clearly not as wvll informed
ca the political sentiment of the coun
try as be ought to be. He thinks the
tariff question Is to be the lending Issue
between the Republican and Democratic
parties during the coming campaign, ana
says the money issue Is an Invention of
the president and his associates to throw
dust In the eyes of Republicans and de
feat a return of the country to the bene
fits of a protective tariff. He never
made a greater mistake in his life If
he could but spend a few minutes dally
In the Astorian office reading the edi
torial opinions of the leading Republican
papers of the country he mlsht learn
that if It is true that President Cleve
land and his counsellors are responsible
for the money Issue they have thrown
the most destructive boomerang and
menus. tne morwy question Is the
greatest Issue now before the ople." If
they would assert that It Is the gravest
Issue now before the people. I would
agree with them. The ravlty of the
Issue, however, arises from the fact that
said Journals are assisting In mlsl-adlng
their party as to the real Issue between
it and the Democratic party, nnd are
urging upon It Issues which with the set
tlement of the tariff question win settle
themselves.
When one sees a Republican paper Ig
noring the tariff question and declaring
that "the money question is the greatest
Issue since the civil war." It Is fair to
say that Its editor has been misled, or
that he has some hidden motive, and Is
not working for the success of Ms party.
It Is apparent that certain Republicans
In this state are desirous of supporting
an Independent candidate for congress In
this congressional district, avowedly for i
the purpose of defeating Hon. W. R.
Ellis, the popular Republican candidate,
because he is a free silver advocate. I
wonder If those individuals realize how
hard a run they will make for Hon. Thos.
j ll. Tongue in the First District by their
actions. The attempt of the untl-iree sil
I ver people to defeat Ellis, will result In
i the free silver people knifing Tongue. I
Imagine I hear them sharpening their

the tariff Is concerned thre-fourths of

three years of actual experience under

and It Is not the Democratic party that
is seeking to mislead and iiefuddle the
minds of Republican voters by Injecting
the money question in the politics of the
atlon, but rather tha Republicans who
indiscreetly committed themselves to the
liver craze when It raged a few months
ago and are now seeking to find a way to
creep back Into their local organU.itlons
ly persuading their former associates
that the money Issue Is not a proper
subject for discussion In Republican
meetings and conventions. If our es

as to the reason for the enthusiasm
shown all over the country In favor of
