plied that he had learned that there
were two sets of rules in the senate,
one for the other senators and one
for himself. The chair usually
found means of declaring him out
of order.
Several senators endeavored to
make suggestions, but Mr. Riddle
berger snubbed them in a manner
that caused much laughtef in the
galleries, and the chair threatened
to clear them. Mr. Riddleberger
persisted, and finally appealed from
a decision of the chair that he was
out of order. The chair did not
entertain the appeal, but said, “the
gentleman from Virginia will take
his seat.” Mr. Riddleberger did
not,iinnply, but stood still with
folded arms. There was an ominous
pause and an expectant hush.
After a moment or two Senator
Butler, of South Carolina, moved
consideration of a resolution in
which he was interested, and the
chair put this motion. Then the
recalcitrant senator, without having
taken his seat, withdrew from the
chamber.
The increase in the tariff was a
war tax directly on the people to
pay for the war and the preserva
tion of the union. Nobody claimed
that it was for a protection of our
home industries. Time and again
during that period I have heard
men argue for this increase before
the ways and means committee,
and always with the promise that
when the war was over and the
finances of the country restored to
their normal condition, this tax up
on the people should be remitted.
You can, therefore, imagine how in
consistent these hoary- ’-headed mon-
opolists appear, when they rise up
to-day and oppose a reduction of
the tariff as dangerous I to American
manufactures. They are going
squarely back upon their pledges
then made in the name of the W-~
publican party.
I refer to" Edmunds and Morrill
and John Sherman and “Pig Iron”
Kelley and Sam Randall, and all
those men who promised so fairly,
but who, now that the war exigency
is twenty years behind us, persist
in levying taxes upon the people
under the cloak of “protection.”—
Joseph Medill, Chicago Tribune.
The best honors which the repub
lican leaders could pay to the mem
ory of Abraham Lincoln would be
to make their party worthy of the
name and the achievements of its
great leaders of twenty-five years
ago. Lincoln would not have sought
to keep alive the old sectional feel
ing for partisan purposes. He
would not have tried to perpetuate
monopoly-creating and surplus pro
ducing taxes upon the necessities of
the people. He never misrepre
sented an opponent’s position, as

dullest month in trade they have ever
known. And there seems to be little
prospect for a revival’ of business for
some months to come. A large portion
of last year’s crop of wool has not yet
been sold, hence the money which should
have been derived from that source is
not in circulation, and the year of a pres
idential election is usually a dull one

cause, such as the building of a railroad
