DEMOCRATIC PROTECTIOyIsTS.

There is an especial effort this year TO elect
Democratic Congressman in Northern Repub-
lican districts, on the pretext that the candi-
dates are prOtectiOnists. In some cases the
pretext is only a pretence. Sad experience has
taught that it is impossible to foretell how
Democrats who are elected as protectlonists
will vote when they get within the influence
of their party organization at Washington
The cry of Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of
40" elected Mr.. Dallas, and by his casting
vote the tariff of 1912 was murdered, and the
tariff of 1916, with 80 per cent duties on iron,
woolen, cotton and silk goods, was adopted
Even where members do not thus definitely
betray those who elected them and Prove false
to their pledges, there is always room to claim
that they do not understand this or that phase
of the tariff precisely as their constituents do
For instance, in speech last week at q DEM
ocratic meeting, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Vth New Jersey District. Mr.
Ryle proclaimed himself an ardent projections
ist and observed that lie was in favor of duty
of So a ton pig iron. Now So "A ton happens
to be precisely the duty proposed for pig iron
in Mr. MOrrisOn's free trade tariff, when he was
chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means in a Democratic House, and by Mr..
Woods free. trade tariff, when he was chairman
in Democratic House. That is The Dem.
ocratic notion of protection. Whether or not
it suits workingmen in New-Jersey is for them
to say.
But where there is no possibility of doubt rs
to the intention OF the candidate, if elected,
it is stll Il very dangerous step to send a Dem
Ocfat to Congress on the plea that he is pro-
tectonist For such candidate, if elected by
Democratic votes, would be bound to vote Tor
the Democratic candidate for Speaker. That
candidate will be named by Democratic eau
Gus, in which not more than one-eighth or one
tenth of the members will be even nominally
protectionlsts. If the overwhelming majority
sees fit to select candidate such as Mr.. Car
Isle. who is now prominent, or Mr.. Morrison,
who has long experience and many friends,
though both are pronounced free-traders, the
Democratic member cannot vote against either
without violating his obligation to those who
elected him. But the state OF parties is such
that one more vote for such a candidate may

PLUMBERS OF THE MACHINE.

A knife that will not cut, gun that will not
shoot cup that holds no water, are not con-
sdered useful tools. SO HI engine that cannot
draw its own weight, and tllreshing machine
that cannot he made to thresh anything butitself.
are not regarded as desirable machines. Polit-
ica machines must be judged in measure by
the same test. There is no sense in the loose
and vague railing at political machines that is
sometimes heard. The object of these cOntriv-
ances is to promote the success of political
principles. If they are of the right sort they
do this powerfully, and thus render great
public service. But if they do not they fail in
the object for which they were created, and
are fit only to be cast aside and replaced by
better
Tried by this test, what can be said of the
Republican machines in New York and Penn
sylsania7 Can anybody discover that they are
in any way promoting the success of Republ-
can principles On the contrary, is it not the
fact that they have brought about so much
discord and disgust thar there is great danger
of losing, not only the State Governments, but
enough members Of Congress 10 deprive the
party of it's majority in the House, 1t may be
reasoned that these machines did good work in
times past. So the dulest knife probably has
seen better days. But if the thing cannot be
made to cut now, what is it good forP A .po-
ltical machine may have been quite useful in
times past, but that is not the slightest reason
for keeping it single day, if it has got dull, or
rusty, or out of gear, so that it cannot be made
to do any good to-day.
Even on the much lower basis which is pre-
ferred by politicians who have an eye single to
Office and plumber, political machine ought at
least to help to put party into power, and Its
candidates into Office. But it is a melancholy
fact that the Republican machine in this State
has been showing really marvellous capacity
for laundering and getting its candidates
hopelessly beaten. The greenest set of ANA
teur politicians on earth, in their first crude at
tempt, would not have perpetratel such and SO
many suicidal stupiditIes as this machine has
within the past year. At the outset, in prep
aration to control the State Convention, al,-
pointments and removals were made which
caused great dissatisfaction and OppOstion-so
great in some instances, that the machine was
forced to appease the offended interests by
promising that this or that person should be
reinstated, or this OF that appointment blocked
in the Senate. Then Mr, Folger was selected
gentleman whose position in charge of the
Treasury, and whose recent translation from
high judicial trust, rendered his nomination
great deal less shrewd than others that could

Az UYpPOFJT1BLE TRICK.

Tuv TprprNp remarked few days ago the
III luck the Connecticut Democrats were hav-
ing in trying to make an issue OF the River ana
Horhor bill in the Ist Congressional District
where ex-senator Eaton is running against
Mr. Ruck. the present member. Just as they
had got fairly under way with their denuncia-
ton of one specific appropriation on the Con-
nccticut River, which they said wasa clean-cut
lob without any excuse, the fact was brought
out by their opponents that their candidate, MT.
Eaton, was the originator of this particular
appropriation had it inserted i'll the bill when
he was in the Senate.
They have been no less unlucky with the
Temperance issue, out of which they hoped to
make much capital. They began their prepare
tions for it as long ago az during the session
of the Legislature last winter, when the Repub-
licans being in majority they assisted the pro-
hibitionists in passing a resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of liquor in the State ex
ceptir z for sacramental, medicinal, scientific,
mechanical and. art purposes" This resolu-
ton comes up in the next session, after which
if it receives twO-thirds vote IL must be sub
mitted to the people for approval. To excite
the active opposition of the liquor interest
against the Republican ticket and induce large
subscriptions from that quarter, this proposed
amendment has been brought out by the Dem
ocratic newspapers as the work of Republi-
can Legislature. Before much progress had
been made, however, the Republican press
printed the whole history of the proposed
amendment and the vote thereon. from which
il appears that siXty-seven per cent of the en-
tire Democratic vote of the House was cast in
its favor and only eight Democrats voted
against il. And what hurts still more in this
boomerang business is the fact that the can
didates on the Democratic ticket for Secretary
of State and Controller we're both members of
the Legislature. the former having voted tor
it and the latter having lodged.
Their use of this question to make capital
with the liquor-seers against the Republicans
is fine illustration of their political honesty.
One of two things must be true: either their
own candidates are equally Objectionable with
the Republicans to the liquor interest-in
which case they are using dishonest argyll
mentor their candidates were dishonest in
voting for a measure they are at heart OPP
posed to in order to entrap the Republicans.
They can take either horn Of the dilemma.
There is no doubp that the Democrats in the
Legislature in a very large degree voted for
the resolution with no other purpose than to
make a handle of it against their opponents,
but they seem to have forgotten that in doing
so they were making record for themselves.
And what shall be said of the honesty of party
that resorts to such trickery and deception

TITO NOTABLE CONDOLENCES

Coincidence. Coin .ci- dence. Did the cyni-
cal persons who are now expressing the opinion
that President Arthurs presence in New Iork
and the same with intent to remain until after
election-had political significance to the ex-
clusion of any other sort of significance did
they never hear of coincidence Co-in-ci-
dence. The word is not uncommon. We haz-
ard nothing in affirming that it has its apprO
pirate place under &C" in all the dictionaries
of the English language. Well, the fact that
the President finds it absolutely necessary to
spend his time here during the last days of a
canvass in which he has large stake does not
prove that he is here political business. By
no means. And the truth-the plain naked
TRUTHS that what brings him to New York is
purely private business, " the packing of pri
" vate papers, books and other articles prepare
story to their removal to Washington" And
that his visit occurs just when there Is sorest
need of his counsel in the rooms of the Repub-
lican State Committee where there is the larg-
est opportunity for skilful political manager
to show what he knows about securing votes,
curing disaffection and producing the best of
good feeling" in the party, is simply coin
cidence. And superb coincidence it is.
and not meet with finer specimen We doubt
If the great collection of condolences which
is shown to visitors at the Smithsonian lDsti-
tuition contains anything to surpass it.
To find its equal we must turn to passage
in the career of the elder Weller. 1t will be
remembered that he had been engaged to
bring down voters from London to Eatanswill,
once on time. and had been given a twerty -
hound note with the remark Gas reported by
his SOM from the boss who handed it to him
aYou're a very good whip and can do what
"you like with your horses, We know. We're
sail very fond of you, Mr.. Weller, so in case
you should have an accident when you re a
bringing these here voters down and should
tin EN- over into the canal without hurtn' of
a'em, this is for Yourself" What followed is in.
structlve history. "YOu wouldn't believe sir"
said the younger Weller to Mr.. Pickwicl,
that on the very day as he 1.-THE elder Wellerl
@came down with them voters his coach ICaS
"upset, on that ERE very spot and ev'ry man
ON 'em was turned into the canal.
aWhat | look at is the hex-traordinary and
wonderful coincidence that arter what that
gen'l'm'n said my fathers coach should be up
set in that very place and on that very day"
Some readers OF the Pickwick Papers whose
faith in human nature is not perhaps fully
developed have been known to read this ac-
count of what befe the Weller coach with
mockng smile upon their lips. And just as like
as not the man who refuses to regard the dis
tressing accident to the voters who were
landed in the canal as an hex traordinary and
wonderful coincidence will also refuse to ac-
cept the coincidence theory of the Presidents
visit to New-York. There is Il good deal of
scepticism in the world in these modern times.

| make him Speaker. IL Is not unlikely that the
| next House may be so closely divided that a
single vote will turn the scale. These who
| vote tor n Democratic candidate for Congress,
because they hear that he is personally pro-
tectionist, are therefore voting, in all proba-
bilty, to give all the vast power of the Speaker
70 free trader-to the very man whom the ex-
treme free traders of the South may pick out as
most sure to carry out their designs.
What power has a Speaker Rather what
power has he not, under the present rules lie
can appoint all the committees. Those COM
mittees upon which all industrial and imam
cial legislation depends he will take care to
select so as to insure the success OF the egisla-
ton that he desires The committees report
only such measures as they please; they con-
troll the floor in debate upon them, parcelling
out the time as they see fit to the supporters OF
their measures, and leaving to the opposite
party part; they control amendments, and
can close the debate and force vote when
they think the occasion favorable. 1t is virtu-
ally impossible to pass any measure against
hostile committee having charge OF the sub
ject and the control of the business is worth
many votes in securing favorable action on
measure offered. Nor does the power of the
Speaker end with the selection of committees.
He has absolute and irresponsible power to re-
cognize such members as he peases, and can
muzzle a man so that he can never get chance
to speak, if it Is feared that his speaking might
hinder the passage of measure favored by the
Speaker. Such enormous power and respon-
sibilty are to be given to the most dangerous
free trader in the House, if Democratic eau
Gus so decides, by the votes of Democrats
elected on the plea that they are personally
prOtectionists.
1t is often asked, IF the Democrats have q
" bare majority, and u few of them are sincere
"protectionists, how can any lree-trade bill be
apassed 2" Easily. because there are usually
a few Republican members who are not pro-
tectOnsts. Their votes, with the free trade
Democrats, balance those of the few Dem.
ocratc prOtcctionists who may vote with the
Republicans. The only sure way to prevent
disastrous legislation, in a House so close as
the next is likely to be, is to take great care
that the Republicans only shall have power to
elect the Speaker and organize the commit
tees Then no mischicvous bill can get before
the House. But to that end it is necessary to
leave Democratic prOtectlonists at home.
