Daily Democrat. TUB FIRST BATTLE The first "battle ballots" between the taxed and the beneficiaries of the taxation, between the producers and the millionaires the irreat middle class and capltal.as repre tented by trusts, railroads and other mo nnnolies. has been foueht Jind the cause of right,of justice.of "God's poor" met its Bull Run as it did in 1S61. A tnousana incu ries are being invented now, as then, to ex ih unrvnt rted disaster. But our im pression is that now, as then, we trusted too much to number and the indisputable justice of our cause and neglected that drilling and discipline necessary to an army when it meets an enemy in the field. By that we mean that the importance, the ne cessity, the justice of tariff reform was not sufficiently "rooted and grounded" into the very natures of the people. When they met the hosts of monopoly, they went out a mob, careless and indifferent as to the re sult. They were not armed with the best arguments to meet the latest improved catch phrases and lies, consequently they were routed from the very day that the Quaker guns, under the guise of British fla.s. were unmarked against them. We are not blaming anyone for this lack of disciDline. We believe that the people were led bv as honest, as intelligent and as patriotic generals as ever led an army. But it takes time to drill a mob.and reduce it to the discipline and efficiency of an army. So it takes time to educate 65000,000 of peo ple in a ?reat economic principle. Had x " Mr. Cleveland thrown down the gauntlet in December 1SS6 instead of iSS7lhe result mitht have been different.and voters being a - - better instructed in the importance of the questions at issue In tne national cumcsi would not have sold or traded their presl dential votes for votes for governor or mayor, as they did in New York,or sold or traded them for a congressman or a mem ber of the Legislature, as they did in mat ana. We have now four years in which to in struct our neoole that high taxes upon the necessaries of life do not enrich a nation, but only a few who control these necessa ries at the expense of the many who use them. Four years in which the wage workers mar learn that it is an Imputation on their ingenuity and intelligence for them to allow any one to say that a tariff greater than the entire labor cost is neces sary to protect them from the productions of the working people of any nation In the world. Four years in which to instruct the farmers that a home market is value less so long as the prices of their products In the home market are eoverned by the prices in Liverpool, which will be so long as they produce more than we consume, and that under the present tariff the per cent of the whole crop exported has increas ed from a per cent to 47 per cent. Four years In which to teach the farmers that so long as manufacturing realizes per cent nrofit and farming only three per cent so long will their farms be plastered with mortgages from the profit of the manu facturing trusts. Four vears to reduce the mob of 18S8 into the disciplined army of 1893. Four years between Bull Run and Appomattox I If there Is a God in heaven who watches over and cares for the poor and distressed In this world.and who doubts It, then will He see that the rich In this free country shall not always tax the poor more than they can bear. When we look over the field and remember that it is only eleven months since the question of tariff reform was raised we can but be astonished at what has been accomplished. Then let no one be discouraged, but at once commence the battle of 1S92, when, with a disciplined army we will again meet monopoly and fight the battle of right, of justice, of "God's poor." Four years from Bull Run to Appomat tox. Labor Signal. Petitions bv the bushel are being circula t ed for every office in the country to be filled by Mr. Harrison. Even in suburb of Oak Park fourteen petitions are out for the post of fice a little affair that pays not,perhaps $1,000 a year, and this Is by no means exceptional. The fellows who two years ago sat on tne fence bv the political roadway and bawled themselves hoarse over the beauties of Civil Service reform, with denunciation of Mr Cleveland for turning Republicans out and putting Democrats in their places, are all tramping the streets now with petitions for places under the new Administration. Mr. Harrison is said to be a man of great firm ness, and for the sake of his own party it Is to be hoped such is the case.
