PretBlasat ttspub.iuuia Ntwirtfiptra of
Dataware Oeaaty Aaveeat Tariff Meters.
from the Philadelphia Uecerd.
A aenaatlen haa been caused in the upper
ead et Delaware county ever the tariff that
tareaitai te threw the ohtmplenaet high
proteettoa Inte a ferment. In the borough
of Darby, tbe bargees, Cbarlea Lloyd Bar
rill, who waa elected te that office la Febru
ary last aa a Republican, new boldly pro pre pro
elataa hlasself a tariff reformer and deelarea
that if he Uvea until November next he will
rote tot Oieretaad.
A ae lest prominent resident of Darby,
Mr. Jaaeea MeGahey, who haa been been
eagaged aa a textile worker in Delaware
oeuBtv ter veara. and who has been looked
upee atone of the leading Republicans of
theplaee, haa also announced himself as
aa advocate of tatlfl reform.
The Influence of the local press is also
being directed In tbe tame channel, The
Darby hdependenf aadtbe Morten CSreif
ieU, published at Morten, heretofore eon.
sMered Independent in politic, have alto
taken ap the eudgels In behalf et tariff re
form. Be successful bat been the work of tbe
ohamplena of redueed tariff dntlea that it
la proposed te organize a Tariff Reform at at at
aoetatlon among the textile operative! et
Darby and It vicinity.
This la the way in whleh Bnrgess Berrlll
xpiaina nimaeu ler .supporting tarur re-
iurui I
Ne one party it essential te the salvation
of ear country. I believe la voting for
whichever party la nearest right. I be
lieve la voting for and atlektng te princi
ples, and in forsaking and throwing ever
party, if necessary.
Every monopolist in the land, every
member of every trust" all fees of labor;
almost every rich mannfaeturar, almost
every capitalist and unscrupulous specula
tor, will Indorse tbe platform and vote the
ticket of the Republican party.
In 1884 the Republican national conven
tion cenaared the Demoaratle party for fall
lng 'i te relieve the burden et unnecessary
taxation by a wise red notion of the surplus.
It la unnecessary te give additional testi
meny or the feeling In these days. But
what la tbe position et the Republican puty
new T It la opposed te any reduotlen. It
la opposed te any foreign competition what
ever with domeatle Interest. It eflera no
remedy for the combinations and trust all
ever the country whleh have erected their
headt en the successful stllilea of domeatle
competition. It stands for tht crude, III
adjusted, hastily considered war tariff
duties whleh were levied amid the atrest of
war, and which oenld never have been
levied In timet et neaea.
The Republican party odors thowork thework thowerk
Ingman free whisky and tree tobacco ; tbe
Demoaratle party eilers him free wool, and
free lumber, and free salt. Hew many
worklegmen or Darby, or any ether town,
it all questions el party were put aside,
would vote for free whisky in lieu et free
wool and taltr And what would tba
wlvea of tbe werklngmen say en this point
it they had a voice ?
The candidates et both parties are geed,
and the issue will be fought out by the
people In November next entirely en prln.
elplea. The platforms et the two parties
will decide voters. The mere 1 think et
tbe Republican platform the mere mon
strous u teem.
A year age I believed In tariff reform in
reduotlen of duties and in lessened taxa
