In this ke agrees with Chaucey M. De pew. Mr, Medill warns his Republican friends they have got the hot end of the poker on the tariff and mast abate their unreasonable demands on behalf of the trust and monopoly people, or certain defeat is impending. Mr. Medill says: Congress is in the hands of the Res publicans, but by a very slender majority, snd this may be wipe ont in 1800 if promises made to the farmers and works ing classes are not kept. First and fore- most, there must be a revision of the tariff, and war taxes must be taken off the necessaries of life and placed on the luxuries There is absolutely no sense in talking about free tobacco and whisky being a step in the interest of relieving the working classes and taxing them for clothing, sagar, salt. If they could be shown where the products of the soil wonld yield sn increase in the prices commensurate with taxes imposed , there might not be much cause to grumble, but under existing circumstances, there must be a revision of the tariff before the close of the first session of the Fifty-first congress, Bat the revision that is on the stocks to satisfy the discontented “farmers and t working classes” opeyate the other way by the contipuagce or increase of tax. slion, Mr. Medill thinks General Alger of Michigan likely to be the Repnhblican caudidate in 1802, as events are now shaping Mr, McKinley would be the man, in preference, if he would get off his high tariff horse. No one cares to mention Mr. Harrison, but all the same the administraton faction is already ac- ranging for a solid Counih delegation. Given that sod the backing of Platt in New York and Quay in Pennsylyania —absolate rulers of their party in the two great Siates—and the President's res pomination is not improbably.
