Randall and the Tariff.

Hon. Samuel j. Randall has almost
been read out Of the Democratic party
the result of the peculiar views en-
tertained by him on the Tariff question
"a question little understood in some
quarters, yet destined nevertheless to
become the leading issue in the Presi-
dental campaign in 1884. While we
cannot indorse Mr.. Randall's Protective
Tariff view, and do not advocate his
election to the Speakership, yet we be-
lleye the assaults upon HIM impolitic,
and unwise, on the eve of a national
struggle for political supremacy.-Wes-
son Herald.
with this protest against the inius-
tice and impolicy of assailing Mr.. Ran
dali, the Herald says that its first choice
is Mr.. Carlisle of Kentucky, whose
political orthodoxy and qualifications
none can question.

The Nicksburg Herald has discovered
that The CLARION did not advocate the
election of Col. Singleton for the Senate
in 1879. No. Nor did it advocate the
election Of any one else. 1t preferred
to be neutral in q contest between Mis-
slssippi Democrats. But what has that
to do with the Speakership?
AS to the latter Office, THE CLARION
Is not the especial advocate Of Col. Sin
gleton. 1t has only said if the proposi-
ton of the New York World, seconded
by the Herald, that Mr.. Randall is not
lit for the place on account of his com
plicity in the Electoral Commission
affair, and if that is to be the issue. Col
Singleton is the man, and we will stick
to It, Moreover, is there a Mississippian
who would not rejoice in the elevation
OF one of the worthy sons of his State
to that important position?

OUR friend Of the Examiner had bet,
ter examine the Democratic platform a
little more attentiyely. The decIara,
tons and traditions Of the party are all
in favor Of "a Tariff for revenue only''
and against imposing duties on goods
imported into the United State, to Sc
cure benefits to any branches Of indus
try mt the expense Of the rest. And
yet with the record Of the party before
his eyes, he persists in assuming that the
following resolution defines the position
of the party:
Recognizing that there are in our
midst irreconcilable differences of opin-
ion with regard to the respective systems
of Protection and Free Trade, we remit
the discussion of the subject to the peo-
pie in their Congressional Districts and
the decision of the people thereon, who'll
ly free from executive interference or
dictation."
The Examiner quotes the foregoing as
a declaration of Democratic faith. adop-
ted in 1872; but he omits to say that the
resolution was passed by the Liberal
Republican Convention of that year,
which nominated Horace Greedy for
the Presidency, whom the Democrats
supported in order to defeat the regular
nominee Of the Republican party and to
get rid of Radical reconstruction in the
Southern States with its incubus of
"mournfu facts Under stress Of Re
publican domination, and with the SUI
preme object in Kidding the country of
Grantism, il accepted the Liberal candi-
date and his platform, for the occasion.
but i'll doing so it never dreamed of be-
coming Republican by supporting Gree
", nor Protectionist by acquiescing in
his platform. We are surprised at the
Of the versatile editor

desperate straits to which skillful tacti-
,ians are driven in their effort to sup
Dort a bad cause.

Incidental Protection.

Incidental protection is a logical and
inevitable consequence of "Tarif for
Revenue only."a Revenue reformers adj.
dNl-
yocate such Tariff. The monopolists
are for a Tariff laid with the primary
object of fostering particular industries
and building up the fortunes of private
individuals. The distinction is plain. :" A
Tariff for Revenue only" implies Incl.
dental protection, which none oppose ex-
cept those who are in favor of the admis-
sion OF all importations from other coun-
trles' free OF tax-an impracticable idea
at present. What the Revenue Refor-
mers aim at is Tariff laid with the sole
purpose of Revenue to support the gov
eminent: There are many ways to ex-
press the idea but a rose by any other
name will smell as sweet.

with American States or foreign nations.

In reference to the recent decision by
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the Granger case" originating in
Illinois, the Philadelphia Times says:
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court reafirming the power of States to
regulate railways was the first declara-
ton of this order based upon an appeal
from the acts of Board of Commissions
ers. This body in Illinois made certain
regulations under the law fixing rates
of fares, from which the railroad COM
pany appealed to the State Courts. The
right of the commissioners to adopt and
enforce such rules was affirmed and the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
was only confrmatory of it. The right
OF control has now been fixed from al
most every important standpoint and is
not likely to be seriously questioned
hereafter.

IL an article showing how a tariff for

than is absolutely needed for public pur-
poses in the form of taxation on imports,
or whether we shall have a tariff for

IN this number we have published a
paper of rare value from the pen Of
Chief Justice I, NJ. Cooley of Michi-
gan, setting forth the uses and benefits
OF Railroad Commissions. The MEM
bers of the bar know that he is one of
the ablest jurists in America. This pro
duction is conceived in spirit of mod
GRAFTON, and impartiality, and the
thoughts of the writer are presented with
exceptional clearness and vigor.
Judge Cooley shows that judicious SUI
pervision will be beneficial to the corno-
ratlons themselves as well as the public.
We hope our brethren of the press
who have treated the subject, as if the
advocates of supervision are enemies Of
railroads, will give the paper of Judge
Cooley, their thoughtful attention.
In this connection, it occurs to us to
publish the significant conclusion of an
article entitled Railway Commission
