THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1854

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
The Times will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
hercely criticized, with more complete or
ganlZatlOn, and an able ssOf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made il successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to 81 newspaper.
The value of newspaper is not III its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TINES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order TO give the complete news Of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and lnstruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure Of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor to Intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on urfOrward-mOving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness. but il
is gone; and, with il, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: 1t was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresber news; and they re-
quirc more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
tereSt to the people at large and sets il before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have astOnished US all twenty yeors ago.
DATLY-Twelve cents a week. ffftv cents a
month. IS a year. two cents copy.
SUNDAG-F0ur cents a copy. 81 year.
WEEkLY-One copy, 81 a year; FIVE copies
IS a year; ten copies, SIS a year; twenty cop
les So year, with one copy free to the getter-
up of every club.

THE MORRISON BILL.

The Democratic party has failed
to make any reform in the tariff.
Enough Republicans voted with the
Randall section of the party to put
down Carlisle, Morrison and their
supporters, but the vote was so close
as to show the party approves the
bill, and that it was defeated by Re
publican support of the protection
lists among ourselves. This makes a
new issue impossible between the
two and breaks up all previous cal
culatiOns on the result in November.
What those who have thus over
turned the expectations aroused by
Carlisle's election to the chair, ex-
pect to do with the surplus in the
treasury, it is hard to tell. They
tax the poorest classes to be found
in our land for the benefit of a treas
ury already burdened with wealth;
they have declared the only medi
cine to be given for the national
surfeit is lavish appropriation, and
they are again compelled to wage a
campaign with our foes where the
battle cries will be raised on person
al merits of individual candidates,
and the arguments and platforms
must vary to suit the States in which
they are used.
How the Republicans can meet
even this issue is beyond us. One
prominent exponent of their party
principles has declared Arthur alto
;ether unfit; another says Blaine's
cord is too hopelessly bad; Lin
IN is relegated to the second place,
/ Edmunds and Hawley alone are
Jeff. For we think Logan's stand
ya sne Porter trial has neutralized
aE the strength with the soldier ele-
meut gained by his pension bills
which was all he had. With either
Edmunds orHawley andLincoln they
could make strong fight to which
we can only oppose two men equally
honest, and equally popular But
we must wait patiently for the con-
ventions. Forecasts of the political
future were never more idle than now.
Grant and Tilden are out of the race,
but it is probable that their old
friends will be allowed to lead the
battle now to be fought on old fields
over old issues. To our mind the
Democracy has again committed one
of its gigantic Congressional blum
ders. When we cry reform and re-
trenchment during the campaign,
how shall Mr.. Randall account for
the fact that we had the majority
and did nothing? Let us follow the
bold policy inaugurated by the cleo
ton of Carlisle. A measure sup
ported by two thirds of our repre-
sentatives in Congress, and defeated
only by Republican votes can well
be endorsed in our national plat
form. Emphasize this by giving
Morrison the second place on the
ticket, and with Cleveland or Flow
er at the head we can yet win fight
on principles bringing new issues.
