is obstruction. Look at. the r action in
respect to this mu’ter. Wnh the first
congrtss assembled after President Cleve
land’s inauguration the iffjr’ to reduce
taxation was commt used. Daring the
whole of the 49 h oongres* it was success
fnliy thwarted. Finally, when th s pres
ent congress assembled. the pre-iden*
urged this subject, of such va-<t ana over
powering moment, by his entire anneal
message. Repeatedly republican mem
bers have been reminded of their mul
ti plied platform promises. And wha’
have they done during this long and
tedions session ?
IN THE HOUSE
the democratic committee devoted mon’hs
of untiring and assiduous labor, sparing
neither night nor day, to adjust a measure
which won and relievo the people with the
least disturnanco to any business interest.
Were they met by any effort at co opera
tion? Oa the contrary, every step for
ward, every inch towards relief, has been
gamed only against an almost solid
phalanx of republican resistance.
