W henever it becomes the only political
issue the democrats will win every
time >f course the I'resident favors
tariff reform he is with the demo
crats. If he desires renomination he
can get it. As for as the action of
the democratic house of representa
tives in regard to tariff is concerned
for the past live or six years, the re
publicans, had they been in the major
ity, could have done no worse. It does
not speak well for the democrats.
When the motion to consider the
Morrison tariff bill was before the
house Hon. Samuel .1. Uaudall opposed
it on the ground, as he clamied that
there arc no revenues to he cut down
as the current revenue do not exceed
the estmated current expenditures: and
within two weeks thereafter be turned
about and introduced a bill to reduce
the revenues about per year.
