The robber war tariff is to be supplanted
by a yet worse one, becausea more dastardly
system. This thieving tariff is the
gage OF battle thrown down to the country
by the Republicans. Are the Democrats
afraid to pick II up? Is the last chance
offered them by an already over generous
providence. 1fthey siezeit faithfully and
brayely the party will live. Iithey hest

middle ground to stand upon. The people
are ready for the fray. Let the politicians
palter at their peril. The one issue for

Mr.. President, will not profess that ]
am greatly surprised or disappointed in
the result Of the attempt this winter and al
this session to procure reform and re
duction OF tariff taxation. have not un.
derrated nor do I now underrate the power
Of the organized manufacturers this
country, entrenched behind the forms Of
law, to defy the attempts to reform that
law. n have regarded the formation OIL
the Tariff Commission, for which I voted,
have regarded the attempt to frame this
law for which ! voted, as mere preliminary
skirmishes in the struggle that Is to come
hereafter and OF the ultimate result Of
which have not a shadow Of doubt:]
These favored interests are strong. They
have grown strong and rich by the iniquity
and inequality OF legislation. They have
by means Of privileges withheld from other
classes OF citizens become entrenched in
wealth and power and in strength; but
there Is one thing stronger even than they,
and that Is the force OF an intelligent and
aroused public opinion. That Is stronger
and in the end will prevail. The day Ii

the triumph oil popular right and Interest
Is as sure TO come as the sun itself is Il

II increases, instead Of tightening, the

The bill as passed is boom for the rich,
curse for the poor. Processing to protect
labor 1t robs three or four workingmen to
the extent OF five dollars each in order to
add dollar week to the earnings OF one
man, and the cost Of living for that man is
increased far more than his wages are.
Congress was expected not merely tore.
duce the revenues, but to do something
towards equalizing the burdens. II has
reduced the revenues, but the burden o.
taxation ia even more unfairly distributed
than under the old tax schedules.

New-York tribune., 1883-12-10
4 BJG PRINTING HOUSE.

@The United States does its printing as 1t
:" does everything else-On big scale. The
Public Printer is able proudly to announce in
" his report that his office has had at times in
connection with tho census publications as
"high as twenty tons of type locked up-piob-
{" ably the largest amount of live matter ever
akept standing ut one time in this or any other
country"
This is indeed a portentous thought What
with unnecessary IA well as necessary publica-
tions the Government Printing Office is a re-
markabe institution. 1t employs over 2,lOO
persons, and during the last fiscal year Con-
gress published 14,416,744 documents, rang
ing from tho brief committee report of a
single page to "The Nautical Almanac and
Medical and Surgical History of the War"
having respectively five hundred and thOus-
and pages in each volume. The flood OF
matter that pOurs out from this office is enor-
nous. Over 10000 volumes of unfinished
work we're completed and delivered during the
last fiscal year. The issue of The Congressional
Record for the second session Of the Congress
was 38,750 volumes. Sixty thousand copies,
in ALL had to be printed of eulogies upon the
six members who died during the second ses-
sion and an equal number was printed during
the first session. Some of these "eulogies"
were volumes of speeches containing as many
as I2O pages. OF the report of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, 100000 copies were or
dered printed. A vast deal of useless matter Is
turned out from these presses every year, but
preaching against 1t seems to do no good. The
daily payroll of So, 900 goes on as before.
The Public Printer has the candor to make
one suggestion to Congrcss-to (which 1t will
pay the least attention. He says: "The ques-
q ton of the propriety of printing in The Record
q speeches which were never delivered before
. Congress has at times been discussed in Con
gress and by the press of the country. If it
u should be decided to stop this practice, it
awould materially lessen the expense of this
apublication." 1t need hardly be added that
The Record would be much more creditable to
