"Thc majority in Congress under the dictaton OF
Messrs Morrill, and Stevens engaged In passing tarh o
porers safe tic rpense Of tie Uated aies tho sake Of
protecting few wealthy manufacturing capitalists"
The Post made this same charge repeatedly and
rather more broadly in 1928 has done repeatedly
since Then it affirmed Gas we showed on the ATM
that the Tariff passed that year would PRO
hibit tho importation of foreign merchandise"
cripple our commerce and navigation de-
stroy our Cotton culture, and greatly diminish
our Revenue from Customs. And yet, during
the four years existence of that Tariff, our Cotton
culture Commerce and Navigation, all steadily in
creased, while our Revenue from Customs exceeded,
by more than Twenty seven Millions, the aggregate
received during tho four years preceding 1928 (See
the figures in our issue Of July 81 We ask. then, in

false prophet on the very point now at issue-(and
not once only)--why should we not believe that it
will SO prove on this occasion What is the answer
The Post secs fit to charge that the object of PRO.

are millions of the American People this day engaged

TIE WAR In GERMANY.

The foreign papers and letters which were received
by the Cuba do not contain any later more import
ant facts than those published in The TRIBUNE on
Tuesday last, but they shed clearer light on few
points on which we were but imperiectly informed by
the Geographic dispatches.
The detailed accounts Of the great events in Ger
many represent the victory of the Prussans as even
moro complete and important than it appeared to us
on Tuesday. The latest dispatches make it highly
probable that the whole Hanovcrian army, counting
about II 900 men, would be captured. On the Goth
of June Prussan corps coming from Wetzlar occu-
pied tho City of Cassel and thereby cut off the only
railroad communication which connects the southern
portion of Hanover with Bavaria the nearest country
where her troops could expect to find safety. Only
few miles of land lie between Casse and the Prussian
province of saxony, from which troops were adj
yancng in great haste to intercept the retreat o
the Hanoyerians. On the 22d Of june Prussian
force arrived at Worlds, little town close to the
frontier of South Hanover while another, on the same
day. occupied the towns of Gotha and Eisenach, both
of which places lie south Of Hanover junction of
these forces with those advancing from the Prussan
Rhine provinces eastward for the occupation of esse-
Cassel would mako an escape impossible. A dispatch
Of the 22d states that the Government Of Hanover had
asked that of Saxe-CoburgGotha for a free transit
for her troops, request which had no prospect Of
being granted as the Duke Of Coburg was acting as
a General Of the Prussan Army.
On the 23i Of June the Prussian army found itself
in actual possession of all Germany north of Bohemia
Bavaria and the River Mau. This territory en-
braces all the States of the German Confederation
except Bavaria, Wurtemberg Baden, Lichtenstein
part of Hesse- Darmstadt, Frankfort, and Luxem-
bourg and Lmburg, and containing about one-half of
the aggregate population of the Minor States. Some
of these States desired to DO regarded as allies
of Prussia, as tho Grandlukes of Meckenburg
and the Duke Of SAKE Coburg, who has accepted a
high position in the Prussan army, and Oldenburg

The blazing disaster at Portland adds one more TO
the number of fires memorable for great losses and
suffering Half of an important city has been
burned down; and in this half were the Offices of all
the newspapers the national buildings, the hotels,
tho business houses, and the principal churches.
The homes Of two thousand families have
been likewise destroyed, and the present ap-
probation Of damage reaches as high as
5000 or more. Wider restitution must
follow these terrible facts if great public calam-
iiy is not met by great public charity In several
of the New.Eugland towns and in Washington, meas
ures for relief have been proposed but supplies aud
material cannot reach too the thousands of poor
who are now living in tents in the streets of Portland
We know nothing Of the and origin of the fire;
but may hear that il from one OF those too
accidents which take place in towns all over
the country, by which a wooden house, shop or
shanty, serves as torch to kndle a whole
street. Fires have not, Of late, been of
rare occurrence in Maine if their number
has been remarkable elsewhere. Bangor and Belfast,
not long ago. came the fate Of Portland, if we
remember right Some general reason must be sug-
gested for the wholesale burnings which in Maine aud
other States have occurred often. 1t may be that
