CROWNING BLUNDER OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.

IT would be difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a greater political contrast than that which is to be perceived in the present condition of the Democracy as compared with that of 1892.

The victory of that year was phenomenal; it was unexpectedly great, not only in the increased majorities in Democratic strongholds and in the capture of all the doubtful States, but in the gain of Electoral votes and of Congressional Representatives in some Com-

monwealths which it was confidently believed were invulnerably Republican.

The victory resulted in the Democrats securing absolute control of the Executive and Legislative departments of the Federal Government, and, while in the House their majority was overwhelming, in the Senate it was sufficient.

For four years from the 4th of March, 1893, the Democrats could apparently rely upon shaping and consummating legislation pretty much as they willed, as that which they approved in Cong-

ress, assuming that it was in accord with their latest declaration of principles, the Executive would similarly approve. A political party has seldom had afforded it a more favorable oppor-

tunity to establish itself for a protracted period in the trust and esteem of the country than the Democracy had when Congress met in extraordinary session

in August last pursuant to the call of the President. It was called for the specific purpose of repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman Silver act, but no sooner had it convened than it was made manifest that, even with regard to this measure, which the party plat-

form had particularly denounced as "a cowardly make-shift, fraught with possi-

bilities of danger in the future," there was no unanimity of opinion; that the great majority of the House was divided upon it, and that in the Senate the re-

peal of the act could be accomplished, as it was, only with the aide of public-spirited Republican Senators. That which the Democrats should have done in two days they did not do for weeks, and then, as we have said, only with Republican assistance.

Their extraordinary facility for blundering, as exhibited by their disregard of both their platform and the interests of the country, was subsequently demonstrated by the passage by Congress of the Seigniorage bill, a measure

scarcely less vicious than the purchas-

ing clause of which they so tardily repealed in sullen accordance with the urgent and sagacious recommendation

of the President, who, with notable courage and wisdom, vetoed this latter blunder, and so saved the party from the disgrace and the country the harm of it.

Following that blunder of the majority of Congress came the Wilson Tariff bill, a measure which had nothing to commend it to those who believe that the policy of protection is the prop and stay of our national prosperity, except that in some degree it was consistent with Democratic principles. But to this bill the majority of the House attached a rider imposing a tax on incomes. No party's representatives could have more fatally blundered than the majority of the house did in in-

sisting upon the imposition of this ob-

noxious class tax, which Senator Voorhees, in as demogogic and Socialistic a

speech as was ever listened to in the Senate, defended upon the ground that it was a class tax, one which only the few of large wealth would be forced to pay, and from the burden of which all others would be exempt.

No sooner were the provisions of the Wilson bill, with its iniquitous and inquisitorial income tax rider, made public than our great manufacturers were paralyzed, and business in every form, sympathizing with the stopped wheels

of industry, became inactive. Since then capital has been without its fair or adequate wage. The Senate that had not the courage to reject the un-Democratic and un-American income-tax provision did yield partially to the loud and general protest against some of the reductions of duties made by the House bill, and its amendments were generally such as decreased the free list and increased duties. Except from the point of view of the Chicago Tariff plank the Senate bill was a notable and valuable revision of the House bill.

The differences between them are so great that for six weeks the Conference Committee of the two Houses, until Monday, wrangled over them in the vain expectation of compromising their radical differences. Monday, however, the Democrats of the House assembled in caucus, unconditionally surrendered, and by a vote of 130 to 21 agreed to accept the Senate bill, including its indefensible concessions to the Sugar Trust. In thus abandoning the position they have so persistently occupied for nearly six weeks, since the bill passed the Senate, the Democratic majority resolved to introduce, under an amendment of the rules, separate bills providing respectively for free coal, iron, sugar and barbed wire. Subsequently the Committee on Rules adopted the orders limiting debate. Later the Senate bill was taken up and passed by the vote of 182 to 105. This surrender was made upon the explicit declaration of the conference that the refusal to accept the Senate measure would carry with it the inevitable defeat of all tariff legislation during the present session. The Senate bill has thus passed both Houses, and will no doubt be approved by the President, for the same reason that it was accepted by the House, which had Hobson's

choice, the Senate bill or no bill. The parliamentary status of the measure seems to be somewhat complicated, but those who have charge of it are confident that there is nothing now to prevent its becoming law. That it will do so, in accordance with the understanding that the President will not veto it, is generally accepted as conclusive. But however this matter, so important to the well-being of the people, shall end, it will be uncontrovertibly said that the blundering of the Democrats with regard to it has been extraor-

dinary. Any legislation which takes from our industries any part of that full measure of protection to which they are justly entitled is worse than a blunder; with regard to certain things this bill does that. Inasmuch as it does, however, in certain cases recognize the policy of protection to be both good, wise, just and necessary, it is inconsistent

with both the Chicago Tariff plank and with itself, and inconsistency is always a blunder. It is a blunder in view of the fact that neither the Democratic party nor the Democratic Congress are agreed in respect to it; it has not and will not receive unanimous Democratic approval, and it will be emphatically condemned by an overwhelming majority of the people. The Democrats of the House blundered in not sooner

accepting that which they know to be inevitable, as every day of delay in settling the uncertain conditions of business, tending further to depress business. Regarded entirely as a Tariff measure, it is radically defective in many of its provisions, inasmuch as they deprive capital and labor of that adequate measure of protection which is essential to their prosperity; but, while it will be commonly, earnestly condemned for that reason, it will be condemned by every just, intelliegent American because of the tax it imposes upon incomes. Of all the blunders which the Democrats in Congress have committed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff-income-tax-bill is the worst, and they will pay at every poll in November next the penalty of their reckless disregard of the welfare of the people.

ONE CENT letter postage ought to be established now, argues an exchange, first because the people have long and patiently waited for the boon, and second, because the government is as able to grant it as it will be to concede such an accommodation. It is shown by statistics and postal revenues that one cent postage would result in as much revenue to the government as the two cent rate, because the increase in correspondence by the cheapening of the mail service would produce an equal income of that of the two cent rate. If this is a fact there ought to be no hesitation in granting the lesser rate. Congress could do no more popular act than establishing a one cent letter postage at once.

Half Rates to Washington, D. C., and Return, via P. R. R. For the Biennial Encampment of the Supreme Lodge and Grand Encampment of the Knights of Pythias of the world, to be held at Washington, D. C., August 27th to September 5th, inclusive, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will sell, from August 23d to 28th, inclusive, round-trip tickets to Washington and return at rate of a single fare for the round trip.

Round-trip tickets from Washington to Baltimore and return, limited to two days, including day of sale, can be purchased during this Encampment at rate of $1.25 each.

Flotsam. "Well, how does the ocean strike you?" This is a great question to the person who has come to the shore for the first time. It impresses different people very differently according to the ocean deepness or the earthy crossness of their own natures. Some it seems not to impress at all. It is equally striking to observe at the beach how some never look at the ocean except for a first careless glance, and how others watch with an intensity of attention that is almost pathetic, the ceaseless pushing and lashing of the strong creature against the sand--old and yet ever new.

There is the individual who feels a sympathy with the old monster as if he were human, and must get tired with his continual restlessness. Again, there is the young lady--a rare exception, of course--who gave a toss of her pretty head and said, as if in disdain, she had "no use for the sea." She must have

been first cousin to the girl who "despised" New York city because of its unpleasant commotion and crowds. And yet again, there was the prettyfaced, slender-waisted, fluffy-haired young creature who did not despise the ocean. She admired it; thought it "awfully lovely but terribly big." The BUT was introduced, apparently, because it was the habit of the dear creature to describe everything "lovely" or "cunning;" and somehow the term didn't seem just in keeping with the

character of the ocean.

To others, the ocean whispers of the deepest mysteries of which our life receives any hint. To such it can never grow uninteresting or simply tiresome, though it may oppress with the burden of its message, and the infinite largeness of its suggestions. As the landlubber of any thoughtfulness at all

looks out from the forsaken beach on a stormy night for the first time over the

churning waters and sees the whitecaps traveling inland from afar out, and hears them lash and pound furiously against the shore, either he must arrest his thoughts upon the subject at once or he will be filled with a realiza-

tion of a new sort of terror.

Doubtless more than one or two whose thoughts have journeyed out into such a storm have felt that they could never be entirely cheerful again. The gloom and terror of the sea seems to have pierced to one's very soul. Day comes and a bright sky and a calmer sea. He sits on the beach of the same old ocean, devours unwholesome popcorn and confectionary as usual, and is warmed again by "the light of her radiant smile," as she sits by his side, into the old condition of small talk and mushiness.

THE AMERICANIZED ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY

It cost nearly $100,000 to revise and Americanize the great Encyclopædic Dictionary. Result: the largest, com-

pletest, most valuable Dictionary ever prepared by English-

men for Englishmen becomes as completely naturalized as if originally made by Americans for Americans.

Better that that [sic]: not only have errors of fact and peculi-

arities of spelling been corrected, but a great number of words that have lately come into use have been inserted.

Since this careful and costly work of revision began there has been an effort to sell the original work, partially revised

--with much of the peculiar English spelling unchanged--by dishing it up in 50 or more parts at 10c each.

Compare one of these parts with the thoroughly revised work; notice the larger and fuller pages. You'll need no one's say so to see what a gulf divides the two editions.

We sell the Americanized Encyclopædic Dictionary in four large well-bound quarto volumes--about 4600 pages in all--at $1.25 each, or $5 for the complete work. Volume 1 is ready, the others will follow monthly.

To let you see what an unequalled opportunity this is to get the best and most exhaustive Dictionary in the English language, we will sell volume 1 with no obligation on your part to take either of the others. JOHN WANAMAKER.

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied. A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed

and laid out with convenient and tastefully arranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus affording a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon.

The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advan-

tages offered to purchasers in their grounds. Come in and view them. Nature and art incite

inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best

cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best.

Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place. For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
