senator pawn on theTarIG.


The speech OF Senator Henry g. Davis
on the tariff, delivered in the Senate Janu'
ary 20, has attracted attention, as 1t deser-
we'd to. It has been praised, sharply criti-
cized, and sneered at-sneered at because
the Senator began with Washington and
Jefferson to show that the idea Of protec-
ton to American industries was in the
minds Of the fathers Of the Republic, and
because he used some trite illustrations to
show that the country's greatest prosperity
had been under a protective tariff.
It is to be hoped that the Senator will
not be made uncomfortable by these as
saults. Whoever can bring to their senses
the Democratic schemers who are insanely
bent on wrecking the tariff and with it
those great industries which have grown
up under it, will perform great public
service; for while powerful party contln,
ues to tilt at the tariff 1t will always be in
danger. Democrats profess to have great
respect for precedent and Democratic au'
thority, to take of their hats when they
come upon one OF the old landmarks.
Now Senator Davis has been giving them
Democratic precedent, authority and land
marks to show that "a tariff for revenue
with incidental protection" has been the
Democratic policy. His effort was to show
that such policy is not only better than
free trade for the country but better for the
party, and this he shows by straight
forward thrust that must have knocked
some OF his more polite Democratic friends
out Of breath. He regretted that the little
word, "only" had not been left out OF the
National Democratic party in 1SS0-"but
for that word l believe Hancock would be
PRESIDENT"
Senator Davissupported Hancock in spite
OF that word which committed the Demo.
cratic party to a policy he did not approve.
Being Democrat in high position per-
haps he could not have been expected to
cut loose. But he is soon to pass out Of
public life. He will no longer be under
bonds to keep the peace. The Democratic
party is still "for revenue only" BY 1884 it
will not have recovered its reason. II al
lowed to, Watterson will make the plank
still more British. We put the
the case to Senator Davis in this way: He
is for "a tariff for revenue with incidental
protection" This is in advance, Of his
party, but not far enough. On this basis,
II we needed no revenue We should have
no nothing is incidental to nothing.
We may be prepared for that in five hum
dred years-it took England eight hundred
but Senator Davis will not be here then.
Our proposition is that he cut loose from
the Democratic party, declare in favor Of
"a tariff for protection" and without re-
serve throw the whole weight Of his great
influence on the side Of American labor
and American capital. II the Senator nc
cept the proposition he will doubtless find
greater comfort in the Republican party, to
which we shall be glad to welcome him.
