Show The Real Issue The prominence given to the Tariff in the Democratic platform and the open declaration in favor of a Tariff for revenue only, and against Piotcc-tlon, Piotcc-tlon, emphasizes the importance of that Issue, and affords ground for the declaration by prominent public men that this Is the most important issue of them all. Rut the real Issue of the campaign Is not any one of these, and the verdict ver-dict of the people will not be given upon any of them, though they may all be considered. The question to be judged by the people is that of Republican Re-publican peiformance versus Democratic Demo-cratic promise; Republican principle versus Democratic Inconsistency; Republican Re-publican success versus Democratic failure. Every one knows what the Republicans Republi-cans have done in the admlnistiatlon of the government. There Is no evidence that the Democrats Demo-crats could do any better. There is abundant evidence that they could not do nearly so well. Pueblo "Chieftain." |
