Democratic Tariff Policy.

The record of the democratic presiden-
tial platform of the past forty years upon
the question of tariff duties is summarized
as follows:
1S40-"That justice and sound policy
forbid the federal government to foster
one branch of industry to the detriment
of another, or to cherish the interests OF
one portion to the injury of another por-
ton of our common country
1S44-Same as in 1910.
1848-Same as in 1910.
l852-"No more revenue ought to be
raised than is required to defray the nee
essary expenses of the government
1856-.'The time had come for the peo-
pie of the United States to declare them
selves in favor of progressive free trade
throughout the world, and by solemn man.
festations to place their moral influence at
the side of their successful example,
1S6O-Same as in 1856.
1864-Same as in 1856.
1S6S-"A tariff for revenue upon for
eign imports, and such equal taxation
under the internal revenue laws as will
afford incidental protection to domestic
manufactures. and as will, without i'm
pairing the revenue, impose the least bur-
den upon and best promote and encourage
the industrial interests of the country"
lS72-The tariff question was RELOCATED
to the several congressional districts.
lS76-''The demand that all custom
house taxation shall be only for revenue. >
1880-'sA tariff for revenue only
1t cannot be doubted that in view Of the
election of Mr.. Carlisle for speaker, that
the democratic presidential platform OF
1884 will be like that of 1880, in favor OF
"a tariff for revenue only" On this ques
ton the democratic party policy is thor
oughly fixed,

ARGUMENT FOR PRoTEcTIoN.-The
Pontiac (Mich.) Gazette says: Abolish
the duty on wooden goods, and four-tifths
of the wooden mills in this country would
close. Where. then, would farmers find a
market for their wool Adopt free trade,
which would destroy IS per cent of the
manufacturing industry of this country,
and where would farmers find a home
market for their surplus grain? Drive
skilled labor from the shops into the fields,
and where would consumers be found for
surplus agricultural products ? The great
markets for these products are at home,
and this results from the ruinous competi-
ton of the pauper labor of Europe. The
pillow, the loom and the anvil are worked
in harmony. They are essential to each
other. They must live and grow and
prosper, or decline and fall together. .

The Dispatch will not learn from expe-
rience. 1t labored, in 1876 and 1877 to
keep the debt question out of the news
papers, and to agree to disagree on that
question, to prevent division in it's par
ty. The discussion of that issue was
forced upon the people, however, and we
all know the result, as it affected the
Conservative party. On the tariff ques-
ton it is trying the same game, and will
be likely to encounter the same fatal re-
ult. Live, practical questions cannot be
kept in allegiance to .subserve the necessi-
ties of party, held together by the cohe-
sive force of public spoils. The tariff is
sue has to be met, and met it will be to
the damage of the trimming Virginia De
