one, and though It has not yet been extended, 1t
is quite impossible for any one TO say confidently
that it never will be. Under that principle 1t Is
the right (and 1t may at any time be assumed
to be the duty of the Legislature to regulate
any business or occupation which may at the
time seem to any influential person, either of
the legislative body or of the dominant party, to
need such regulation. And as there is no con-
ceivable business into which o public use of
some kind does not enter, it follows that there
is no conceivable business or occupation which
may not some day become the subject of legis-
latiVe regulation. The common answer to all
such expressions of apprehension is that the
courts and public opinion may be trusted to
stop OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES interference with vested
rights But in the first place it is the opinion Of
many that such interference has already oc-
Cured. And in the second place experience
proves that the admission of such dangerous
doctrines by the Supreme Court entails ten
dency upon that tribunal to proceed further in
the same direction.
The sentiment enunciated by the President is
a sound and just one but If corporations or cit
liens should not be permitted to exercise abso-
lutte power over other citizens or classes of cit-
zens, it is equally clear that the Legislative de-
partment of the Government, representing as
it often does only minority of majority, and
sometimes only majority of a minority, should
be restrained from the exercise of like absO-
Lutte power over individuals or classes. While
the doctrine of the Chicago elevator cases is
maintained, however, there can be no assurance
against legislative tyranny of the kind referred
to, and 1t is obvious that this may, under the
pressure of popular excitement, or the exigencies
of partisan politics, at any time become quite as
serious an evil as those acts of corporate aggres
sion against which the public protest, and from
which they seek protection.

TIE UHISKEY Tx.

The question raised by Mr.. Blaine in regard
to the distribution of the amount derived from
the whiskey tax belongs to the future. So long
as the whiskey tax is needed by the National
Government the question of its transfer Is not
practically before the people. 1t is only when
the question of its repeal is reached that the
issue raised by Mr.. Blaine comes to the front.
Indeed, this appears by the text of his letter to
be his own understanding He fixes the time at
that point when we can no longer apply the sur
plus to the payment Of the National Debt and
have no use for the tax in the National Treas
ury. "Why should not the Statcs,n Mr. Blaine
asks, "be permitted to have the tax on spirits
for their own benefit if the National Government
does not need IL ?" The question then il not be-
tween the National and State Governments as
to which shall have the whiskcy tax-but be-
tween giving the tax to the States or repeating
it altogether. On that point there will BIO a
great deal to be said when it is reached. Mr.
Blaine feels sure that it would be great folly to
take eightysix millions year off whiskey and
keep it on homesteads and farms. Meanwhile
before leaving the subject it may be well to
offer word upon one or two points of objection
urged against the principle of distribution.
''''Oih p"pOio lOul
that the proposition involves the taxing of Ili-
nois, Indiana Ohio and Kentucky where the
whiskcy is principally distilled, for the benefit
of other States. In other words, they maintain
that the distilers pay the tax. We suppose by
parity of reasoning these same Western journals
will admit that the importers of New-York.
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore pay the bulk
of the two hundred millions of customs-one
position is just sound. rather is not so absurd
as the other An intelligent boy of ten years
knows that the consumer of whiskey pays the
tax, rs the consumer of imported goods pays tho
duty. New-York pays a far heavier whiskey
tax than any Of the States engaged in distilling.
Perhaps by her enormous consumption of spirits
in the arts and manufactures New York pays as
