4 POINT TINT CANNOT BE MET


Democratic newspapers throughout the State
when they are confronted with the fact that
the late Democratic Legislature raised the tax
from 45-100 mills TO 3 25-lOO mills fall TO
exclaiming "free canals" free canals" In
other words, they contend that because the
people decided last fall TO run the canals with
out collecting tolls, therefore it was neces-
sary TO increase the tax rate rs the Legislature
of 1888 increased it. OF course these news
papers imply, if they do not directly assert
that the Legislature had no other way of rails
ing money for the public purse save by this
direct tax.
But we observe that no one of the would-be
defenders of the Legislature meets the point
lately made by The TRIBUNE-that If
the recommendations of the non-partisan
Tax Commission of 1881 had been adopted
millions of dollars would have found their way
into the State treasury without resortlng to
taxation. The Tax Commission was ap-
pointed by Governor Cornell In February,
1881. In May Of thatyear report appeared,
signed by six out of tho seven members of
the Commission, in which the salient state
ment was made that If the bills suggested by
the Commission were placed upon the statute
book. sufficient revenue for the support Of
government would be provided without look
ing TO other sources. The commissioners added
that az a result of a careful estimate they felt
warranted in asserting that the bills meant an
income to the State of $G,000,00O. Six out OF
the seven members of the Commission signed
the report in which these great hints for the
relief OF the taxpayers are made. Who were
these six commissioners Joshua Nj. Van
Cott, of Kings, one of the recognized
leaders of the Brooklyn bar, was
one of them. George Geddes, of Onondaga,
one of TIE best-known farmers of the State
was another. John F. Seymour, brother OF
tho Ex-Governor and himself prominent
lawyer, was a third. The other three members
Thaddcus Hart. of Ulster Edward w. Foster,
of st. Lawrence and Alonzo Bradner, OF
Liyingston--were men of equal prominence In
their respective sections, and equally well
fitted to deal with the great question of
taxation
Such report from such men was entitled
to great consideration. Why then did the
Legislature of 1883 disregard its recommen-
datiops The Commission said that $6,OOO,OOO
could be raised by enacting the bills which
they suggested into laws. Why was not an
intelligent effort made by this Legislature to
cause the report of such men to bear fruit I
These are questions which cannot be disposed
of by shouting free canals Nor can they
be answered without convcting the Legisla-
ture of a fragrant disregard OF tho public
interests.

OSCAR WILDE AND THE FUTURE MAN.

One il the sudden appearance OF Oscar Wide from
Paris with his hair cut short and decked III the

OF learned essay by Mr.. f. Kay Robinson, demon

have no divisions between the toes" but will have

and will be decorated with "a "tail longer than It's
lecsp The aMan OF the Future will be -" very
nyerse to fighting and will maintain his position in
the foremost files of time solely upon the strength
OF a few peculiar convolutions In his BRAIN" In
discussing this startling essay the London review
ers decline to accept Mr. Robn,ons theories, and
base their objections mainly the ground that
there is nothing in the development of man up to
the present time which foreshadows any such de-
generation in the future.
Need we say that the reviewers wrote before Mr..
Wilde's transformation Even the most careless
Observer must have inferred as much. Contrast
Mr.. Wilde, shorn OF his flowing locks and arrayed
in the pointed coat OF the dude. with the hairless
long tailed Man of the Future. Is not tho re-
sembance strong enough to awaken thought and
stimulate speculation Before he cut his hair,
there we're many points of similarity between Mr.
Wilde and the Future Man. The Esthote was
"slow-limbed" and incapable OF extended loco
motion" He could IN fact barely hold his own
body upright. He was wilowy, and he leaned
perpetuallY in stained glass and utterly limp atti
tudes. He WAS averse to anything so violent as
fighting. and he maintained his position in the
foremost files of nincompoops by a" few peculiar"
very peculiar" convolutions In his BRAIN" Tho
one decided contradiction, the long, lank hair, he
has done his best to vbliterate, And time can DO

left with a less degree Of protection than
they deserved, the Convention will natural
ly find in that fact a strong reason for insist
ing that the power to pull the tariff to pieces
a,tocether shall not be entrusted to Demo-
cratic Congress and a Democratic President. I.
It will probably urge that the revised tariff
shall have fair trial, and shall be let alone
by Democratic mischief-makers for at least
year. :.
These remarks suffice to show how easy II
will be to give expression to the will OF

differences as there have been in its ranks
will not be obstacles to Republican success in

- "a r.
banisbine all "cowards" and "traitors for
by these names 1t designated all who did not
adopt it's views-to the rear. 1t was wordy-
we might almost say MISREPRESENTATION, and
for time the boldest Democratic opponent Oh
Free Trade held his breath. The challenge re-
lated to the election of Speaker. 1t offered no
terms, no quarter; left no room for compro-
mise. An avowed Free-Trader must be elected
Speaker. He might be Mr.. Carlisle, OF Ken
lucky, possibly Mr.. Blackburn, OF the same
State, or remotely Mr.. Cox or Mr.. Hewitt OF
New York, but never, never, never, MI. sam
uel ]. Randall, of Pennsylvania Against MN
all the guns of the Free Trade Democracy were
trained, It was understood that whoever else
might be chosen, Mr.. Randall, as representing
in m arked degree the heresy OF Protection,
and Pennsylvania Protection at that, could not
be elected without open revolt on the part OF
the Free Traders.
For time our Free-Trade friends had things
pretty much their own way. The timid Demo-
Gratis who fear the issue and the honest Demo-
Gratis who believe in Protection were intimidated.
1t looked very much as if the Free-Traders
under the lead of "Light Horse Harry
WattersOn were about to ride rough shod over
the field. The friends of Randall held back
and were silent No one knew for time that
they had candidate. But within few days
the situation has very materially changed
Our contemporary The Herald is in receipt Of
letters from members-elect Of the coming
Congress which came to it so long ago as last
December, the drift of which is decidedly in
favor of Mr.. Carlisle or some other Free
Trader. But The Herald is wise enough to
see that the present attitude of affairs differs
from that of last December. 1t fOresees
that when Congress meets the "purblind
leaders," rs 1t calls them, " the Barnums,
the EatOns, the Randalls, the VoOrheeses, the
Browns, the over -shrewd people who sacrificed
"the election of 1880, are very likely to fling
"away the election of 1884 also" The TRIBUNE
is frank enough to say that it agrees with 1he
Herald In its view. And it Is frank enough
to say still further that even should the wat
tersons and Carlsles and Coxes and Hewitts
have their way, they too would throw away
the election of 1884" In short, the frozen
truth of the business Is that the Democratic
party must inevitably split on the rock of the
Tariff question: and it makes little difference
which wing brings round the disaster. Mean
time the Republicans look with perfect COM
placency upon the progress of their opponents
toward the rock on which they must split.

1t seems to as that the recognition OF Mr. Wilde

gives Mr.. Robinson tangible basis for his hypotE-
ssis and at the same time explains tho otherwise
inexpIlcabe change in Mr.. Wilde's personal ap-

for some momeutous reason We believe that no

out Of the character of the Man Of the Present into
that of the Man'of the Future. He confessed when
he parted teqrfully from these inhosptaole shores
that his mission to reform the taste and dress OF
Americans had been dreary failure. The chorus
of derision with which he was welcomed back TO
England convinced him that there was no demand
for his labors there. He went to Paris to mediate
upon the situation, and after season Of seclusion
he emerges In new guise and at the moment wnen
London is declaring that the Future Man cannot be
what he Is described destined to be, Mr.. Wilde
reappears one who should say: "Can't he,

New-York tribune., 1883-06-05
TILE ROCK dHE1D.

The leaders of what may be called the Free
Trade wing Of the Democratic party-and II
ia a little singular that with all the traditions
of the Democracy as Free Trade party it is
only wing of it that to-day earnestly favors
the doctrine-are evidently becoming alarmed
at the prospect. They have been somewhat
loud and aggressive for the past five or six
months. Beginning with The Louisville
Comier-Journal whose editor has the credit
for putting the famous tarlff-for-revenue-only
plank into the last Presidential platform, and
SO slipping the cold steel under the fifth rib
of General Hancock, the whole tribe of true
believers i'll Free Trade have been on the
rampage ever since it appeared that the party
had secured majority of the next Congress
and a decent prospect of carrying the next
Presidential election. Republicans have
watched their antics with a good deal OF
interest. We did not need to interfere in
their discussions Of the question among them
selves. We had only to wait to see them
tanele themselves up in an intestine quarrel
from which extrication was impossible.
Through all these months the snarl has been
growing, and both as partisans and patriots
we have been looking on with amusement.
AS partisans we naturally view the Ientangle-
ment of our adversaries with complacency
as patriots we can only look upon the quarrels
of party that has 10 principle except love
of Office, over pure question of principle las
likely in the end to conduce to the general
good.
This question of Free Trade having been
thrust to the front by its advocates, and
having been made test question in the elec-
ton of Speaker we have been greatly inter
ested In the successive phases of it which the
debate has developed. 1t was started by OuI
sprightly and sensational contemporary The
Louisville Courier-Jouynal. with manifesto OF
most warlike character. Knowing that
wide differences of opinion upon the question
existed within the ranks of the party, and
that very large minority, at least
if not indeed an actual majority, were
opposed to Free Trade, either upon prin ci-
pie or upon considerations of expediency and
policy, The Oowier-Journal boldly blew its bu-
gle, summoning Free-T Traders to the front and
