THE tariff plank of the Iowa Repub-
lican platform declares in favor of a
platform that shall gISe American
wOrkingmen "a fair days wages for a
fair days work, and tend to ensure
permanent employment" That is
simply unmitigated rubbish. Employ
meHt and wages are not governed by
tariffs, and no regulation of customs
imaginable will give q fair days wages
for a fair days work. Something more
radical than tariff-tiukering is needed
to secure q fair distribution of the wealth
produced by labor. The most that can
lie done is 70 regulate the tariff as to re.

The coal trade tribunal, in session at
Pittsburgh, has not been able TO arrive
at an agreement and will be obliged to
refer the matter in dispute to the UNI

insisting that they shall be paid three
and a half cents per bushel for mining
coal, and the operators refusing to pay
more than three cents per bushei.

The Tennessee Press Association
was organized mainly through the
efforts of DR.. r. Il. q. White, editor
of the Lebanon Herald thirteen years
ago. The Association was organized
10 this city and Mr.. George Il. Purvls,
of the Republican Banner, was its
first president. DIR. White has held
the position OF secretary from the or
gsnization until the present time. He
was elected yesterday to serve another
year. This action on the part of the
Association was not only a compli-
ment to DR.. White, but. an honor to
itself. 1t is proVerbial that success
attends every cause which he espouses.
The Banner knows OF but two excep.
tons to this rule--the lost cause aud
the sky blue cause. But for his en-
ergy the Tennessee Press Association
would not be alive to-day. The pro-
ceedings Of the Association are Of no
especial interest to the public, but Of
great Importance to its members, The
reelection of Mr.. w. A. Wade, of the
Milan Exchange, Treasurer, was q
compliment worthily bestowed. Mr..
B. A. Enloe, of the Jackson Tribune
and Sun, who was elected President, is
an editor in every sense of the word,
and will honor the Association as il
has honored him.

ABOUT 45O names Of the best citi-
zens and firms of Memphis have been
signed to a petition requesting the
Water Company to defer the collec-
ton Of half yearly water rates claimed
to Be due six months in advance until
satisfactory assurance can be given OF
a speedy supply Of pure and healthful
water 10 accordance with the promises
made by President Latham. If this
request is complied with the revenues
of the company will be very light for
the next year or two. The Judges
last promise was that in two months,
or three at least, he will have his esti.
mates. ready. The people have
been fed on estimates until the
diet is becoming mOnotonous. How
ever, the people Of Memphis can stand
almost anything. If the Judge car
get them to wait two months Longer
for him to investigate all the question,
involved in the Mississippi liver sup,
ply, the fall rains will set in, cisterns
will ill up, the bathing season will be
over, business will open up with q
rush and the issue between the people
and the Water Works Company will
go over until next summer. In other
words the case will be continued by
mutual consent to be called up only
when both sides are ready.

1t is too bad.
The assessors are elevating the
value OF Chicsgo's real and personal
property. Some Of the dry goods
houses have been appraised twice as
much as 1882. 1t may be mentioned
that the life preservers" of tie city
have been making savage war upon
the business monOpolies," as they
are termed, contending that they have
been assessed too low heretofore. This
complaint has made the assessors so
jealous in their work that considera-
bic damage is being done the small
business people By over taxation, and
a general complaint is the order Of the
day. The poor people can easily be
coWed into subscribing to anything
the assessor says, while the monopolies
can overawe the officials, and have
matters arranged to suit themselves.
