MR.. BLAINE ON THE WHISKY


New York Tribune: Concerning
Mr.. Blaine's proposition to retain the
whisky tax as a fixed pant of our reYen-
ne system, and turn over the proceeds
to the several states. according TO the
population, there are some thiRgs that
may at once be said:
1t avoids the main objections to the
Pennsylvania plan for general distrl-
button OF surplus revenue.
II suggests practicable way of reduc-
ing the revenue without upsettIng
everything again by fresh tinkering at
the tariff.
1t keeps tax on a product which
surely ought to hear the burdens OF taxa
ton as long as anything else does. 1t
is wiser to tax whisky than to tax farms,
homesteads and shops.
1t raises revenue in the way the states
manship of all countries mas favored
Indirectly rather than directly. Nobody
would feel it but the man who used the
whisky; and he could afford to.
1t would reduce the levy of New York
nearly nine millions.
The objection to it would lie in the al
legged danger from the so-called mixing
of National affairs with the state inter-
ests and necessities; and IN the alleged
injustice of letting communities which
pay little or none of the tax share In its
distribution. The letter is-like every
thing Mr.. Blaine does-adrOit. able and
persuasive. A majority of his country
men will probably think it also states
mar like.

The message of President Arthur 10
the iorty-sighth congress in document
which reflects credit upon the states
manahIp of its authors. 1t touches every
QUESTION Of interest to the American
public and It's tone throughout Is Of a
character To augment the confidence Of
ne people in their chief executive. The
Views Of the president on the question
Of railways and their rights under the
state and general government, will at
tract . very large measure of attention,
~ serving TO indicate the growing i'm
portAnce of that issue and the necessity
OF SEINE early adjustment of the differ
ences between the carrying corporations
Of the country and the people The
suggestions of the president in this
behalf are characterized by an honesty
Of temper which entitle them to the
most serious consideration of congress.
The recommendation contained in
the message IN relation IN a more vigor-
GUS treatment of the Mormon question
10 In accord with the demands OF the sit
uatiOn. and should meet with a ready
adoption. The foul evil of polygamy,
which has entrenched itself behind the
foTtIhcation of sect, cries for redress, and
the government can no longer afford to
tempOrize with this twin relic Of barbar-
ism.
The VIEWS of the president touch
ing the national finances give evidence
Of his careful Investigation of this intri-
cate question, and the reasons upon which
he bases his objections To the present
rapid extInguishment of the national
debt are worthy OF careful attention.
The stress which the message places
upon the present inadequate condition
Of our navy to cope with any sudden'
emergency is justified by the defenseless
state OF our coasts against foreign pow
ers and IL IN obedience To a very general
public sentiment in connection
with this question. II is 10
be hoped that the present congress may
realize the necessity of taking some dc
cided steps in this regard.
The message represents a very graft
flying condition q our foreign relations,
and the bond of sympathy which has
sprung mp between the United States
and Mexico will be q cause for special
congratulatIon. The financial, indus
trial and agricultural interests of the
country are apparently rejoicing in an
exceptional measure of prosperity, and
the showing Of the various reports of the
different heads of the departments
of state, to which the presi-
dent alludes serve to indicate wise,
honest and capable administration OF
the public affairs.
The tone of the message touching the
civil rights issue is of n character to
commend itself to the people OF a free
government and furnishes evidence that
the colOred race have true friend in
the chief executive. The document is
one Of the most comprehensive and able
communications ever made 20 congress,

judicious administration which Presi.
dent Arthur has given to the country.
