Pseudo Tariff Reform.

Pig from Kelley, KassOn, Mckinley
AID the whole coterie of attorneys for the
.'barOns" may talk the session out but
they cannot argue away the objection of
Mr.. Tucker to the rascally tariff scheme
they are striving to foist upon the ere
dulity of the people. AS Mr.. Tucker eX-
pressed it:
THE whole purpose of the tariff system
seemed to have been perverted from its
original objects until experts had been EN-
plOyed for the purpOse-nOt OF hndmg II
revenue could be raiSed-but how revenue
could be prevented in the interest of mo-
nOpOlies Referring to the Tariff Commits
sion he said that number of its members
were gentlemen interested in the perpetual
ton of this system by which the con-
/ sumner was taxed for the benefit of mOnOpO-
! lists
The scale of duties proposed is even
more Objectionable than that of the pres
ent tariff. The new scheme is sectional
and selfish all through. 1t aims at pre-
tense of concession to the popular demand
for lower taxes, but cOntemplates re-
coupling the North at the expense of the
South.
What is wanted is a large extension of
the free list by placing upon it a gOOdly
number of raw materials, and, if any du-
ties are to be levied for prOtec-
ton, let them be levied for the
sake Of the truly infantile"
industries. if there are any such. But to
give the beneficiaries of almost practi-
cally prOhibitOry duties the benefit of
virtual prohibition of imports of lines of
goods, in the making of which they are
interested, is barefaced robbery Of the
people. If goods come into the country,
and the government gets revenue from
them. there is justification for laying
duties upon such goods; but to lay duty
that will keep goods out is much the same
as telling a man, BUY from me, or buy
from nobody"
The Ways and Means Committees bill
Is indefensible. Kelley himself is bliss
fully ignorant of its probable effect on the
revenues Of the country, and only knows
that it will make the ''barOns solid"
The very fact that the protection
lists organs swell the grand chorus
of approval Of the measure
should make every revenue refOrmer
suspicious of it. But the slightest eXami-
nation of its provisions will convince any
one that the bill is a sham. Itmay be rail-
rOaded through Congress or itmay fail, as
it deserves, but whether it shall pass or
fail it w39@Onceived in iniquity and will
raise tlNdfrect and square issue of reve-
nue. reform.

taunt that with such force we should

even the smallest naval power, but this is
the initiation of the work of rebuilding,
and therefore is encouraging. But with
the use of the torpedo we are not likely 10
require so much naval force as we once
thought we should Experiments show
that no ironciad can resist the tremendous
energy of one of the latest invented OF these
submarine missiles.
1t would appear then, that with such
an extensive coast line as we possess, our
main reliance for defense should be
placed in torpedoes properly DIS
DOsed. That we could create and MAN.
tain the nucleus of a respectable navy
or keen on foot formidable armament, no
one doubts. The trouble is that there has
been enough money spent since the close
of the civil war to have afforded us cred
liable navy. and the fear Of the people is
lest the money voted in the naval Dill
now pending in the Senate may
be similarly squandered. If Mr..
Chandler will see to it that the people get
value received in the shape of seaworthy
and reliable cruisers for the money APP
propriated, there will be no disposition TO
stop the work of rehabilitating the navy.
On the contrary, there is pride enough
in the breast of every American
TO desire that his country shall
again occupy the proud position she once
held among naval powers, She never was
noted for the number of her ocean cruisers,
but the character Ofsuch as shepOssessed at
the height of her renOwn, and the quality
of the men that manned them, gave her a
rank that caused her flag TO be respected
wherever it floated.
That renOwn she can enjoy again if
honesty and wisdom prevail in the conduct
Of the Navy Department. We doubt not
that. should the time come when the re-
public would be menaced, the valOr of its
sons and its wOndrous resources
would assure its safety, but the
foremost people of the age
should make show on the high seas, and
every patriotic citizen will trust that the
| experiment of restoring the American
navy may be honestly and successfully
( conducted. 1t is humiliating to doubt its
success, but the results of recent at
I tempts in a similar direction must inevi-
I tably beget suspicion.

An official of the government who has
given great attention to the question of
finance, especially silver coinage and
production, said recently that had it not
been for secret instructions given to the
Commissioners to the International Con-
ference, European countries would have
come into an arrangement for fixing the
status of silver coinage throughout the
world. The reason it failed in reality was
that the administration was hostile 10 sill
rand the American Commissioners were
sent with the understanding that they
We're to hinder and not encourage an inter-
national adjustment of the question.
Foreign governments were now holding
off in the matter because they understood
from this policy that silver coinage here
was to be Of short duration, and that the
government was actually opposed to the
policy which it was at present carrying
out with reference to the stated coinage
of so much per month.

A Ray of Hope.

Pulling out one of these swindling
taxes is like pulling the keystone out of an
arch. There is no real identity of interest
between the grabbers. The irOn-grabbers
and iron-ore grabbers. the woOl-growers
and wooden manufacturers, the lumber
destructiOnists and wood manufacturers,
naturally pull in opposite directions. Now
they are held together by the common
agreement to help each other to recoup
out of the helpless consumers the grand
total of what they have to pay each other.
If this precious gang gets to quarreling,
honest men will get their dues. There is
an excellent prospect that free lumber, if
our Western Senators will stick to it, will
be the entering wedge for tariff reform.

COmmendabIe Courage.

1t is a satisfaction to know that one
committee congress has had the courage
TO say no to demand for increased PEN
siOns. The Senate Committee on Pensions
reported adversely on the bill to increase
the pension to soldiers who had lost a
limb. Nobody is disposed to be niggardly,
but when, eighteen years after the war
closed, we are paying out more than a
quarter of the whole revenue for pensions,
it is time to stop adding to the amount.

1t is plain that there is much in the loss
of the Cimbria tOrebuke commercial pride
in improved ocean navigation when We
recall that the mode of the disaster in the
fog Of the German ocean, and the manner
of the ships fOuHAering, are almost pre-
else repetitiOns Of what in the fog of the
Newfoundland banks occurred TO the Arc
tic twenty-eight years ago, and before
the era Of compartments, electric steering
apparatus, electric bells, electric lights,
iBprOved fog whistles, or life-bOats, or
1ife-preservers. just as the Sultan struck,
then rebounded and steamed away to es-
cape, so did the Nesta in 1854. just as
the Arctic sank. with boats around her, so
did the Cimbria sink-one of its boats, like
an Arctic boat, never to be heard of.
These things seem to indicate that while
science has accomplished so much in a
quarter century for the comfort of ocean
passengers, it has achieved nothing for
their absolute safety.
