TILE RALLRO1D PRORLEM

The proposition of Mr.. Adams, to create
Railroad Commission of high character but
very limited powers, will appear singularly
foolish to most members of Congress, no doubt.
The average legislator has an ineradicable ten
dency to believe that legislation can cure all
ills of the body polite. If fifty successive at
tempts have failed, each leaving the evil
greater than before, he remains firm in the
faith that the only trouble is that the right kind
of bill has not yet been devised, and sits down
with sublime confidence to frame the fifty
first. SO it will be, apparently, to the end of
time, unless constituents take more pains to
select men who have mastered the alphabet of
social science.
Mr.. Adams mastered the alphabet long ago.
His plan, tame as il looks to laundering cham
pions of " the cause of the people against mo-
nopoly," has more craftsmanship in it than any
of the coercive measures contemplated in Con-
gress and State Legislatures. But we are not
quite sure that there would not be still more
craftsmanship in doing still less. A bill which
proposes to do almost nothing may yet be in-
feror to a bill which proposes TO do nothing
at all. Require the railroads TO make frequent
and regular reports OF earnings and traffic, and
the public may in time be educated by these
oft-rccurring statements rs they never could
be 10y ponderous document. But as for regu-
lation OF supervision, we suspect it is as true
as ever that the best government Is that which
governs least.
The one merit of our present position is that
the advocates OF an infinite variety Of plans
mutually neutralize each other, after the man
ner of the Kilkenny cats and thus unlnten-
tionally produce the government that governs
not at all. But let any statute whatever for
railroad legislation be once enacted, and the
probability is that, from that time onward,
nearly every session will see it altered, pos
sibly for the better, probably for the worse.
But the change in itself will be a nuisance.
The railroads viii at once make common cause
to fight in the courts and afterward in Con-
gress. \ bill to regulate railroads by law, re-
garded in the light of its probable consc-
queuces, might bc entitled " An Act to sell the
Government of the United States to its corpora
tons" Either the legislation would be empty
innocuous and futile, and III that case changes
would be instantly and necessarily demanded
or it would be 10 some extent effective, and in
that case four thousand millions of capital

DEMOCRATIC SHTNE>S or TRiE TR1DE
1t is a mistake to say that the Democrats
Learn nothing. At rare intervals they have an
experience so severe that they are able to profit
by it. They had one in the last campaign, ana
its cause was Mr. Wattcrson's hcadlong zeal in
having the platform declare in favor Of " tariff
for revenue only" The campaign WIS going
on pretty smoothly until General Hancoclfs
eye fell upon that declaration, ana he was IN
duccd TO mpart to the public the reflections
which it aroused in his mind. Then there was
trouble. From that time tariff was the issue
Of the campaign and when the vote was
counted even General Hancock was convinced
that there was nothing local about an issue
which could cause such widespread disaster.
Mr. WattersOn and Mr.. Cox are the only Demo
Gratis in the country who have been able to
"come mp smiling" on the same issue again.
They wish to try the battle over again, but the
other statesmen of the party have had enough.
4 significant indication Of this desire for Il
change i found in some recently published con-
vcrsatiOns with the members of the South
Carolina delegation in Congress. Senator
Hampton says he is in favor of a " tariff for
revenue with incidental protection" Senator
Butler varies it little and says Such prOtec
ton as is incidental to a judiciOus and just
tariff" Congressman Dibble is even more eau
tious "Tari1 for revenue without exposing
our industries to runOus foreign competition"
Congressman Richardson and Eyins simply
echo Senator IIampton's "tari1 for revenue
with Incidental protection; and Congressman
Talman is strong against free trade with de-
mand for " tariff for protection in respect to
many articles" OF course talk about tariff
for revenue with incidental protection" is
mere iugglc of words to conceal hostility to
protective principles but the fact that Demo
Gratis are afraid to declare themselves openly in
favor Of free trade is significant. We have no
doubt that their next National platform, if it
contain any reference to the tarli at all, will
adopt some such weak subterfuge as Mr..
IIamptons formula, but nobody will be de-
ceived by it. The only issue the Democratic
party has been true to during its entire career
is free trade, and nothing short of an open
declaration i'll favor Of protection will convince
the people that 1t will be safe to trust the in
dustrial interests of the country to Democratic
control.
