THE TARIFF As A MATTER OF BUSI.
NESS.

There is no subject upon which men
disagree more than upon that OF the
tariff. 1t must be so, because the tariff
IS matter Of business. For instance,
the great industries of Pennsylvania,
horn Of her water power, her coal and
iron, and other natural sources of
wealth, demand high duties to protect
them against foreign competition, and
here Democrats as well as Republicans
are protectiOnists. In Congress the real
leader of the forces against the MORRI-
son Free Trade bill is not Republican
at all. but a DemOCrat-Mr. RANDALL.
Mr.. RANpAIL goes from Pennsylvania
into Congress; If he had gone from Ms
sissippi or any other purely agricultural
State, the chances are about nine hun
dred and ninety-nine to one that he
would be leader in favor of the MoR-
RIsoN bill. The chances are equally
great if Mr.. MORRISON held his seat in
Congress as a Representative from this
S.atc, he would stand shoulder to
shoulder with the ex-Speaker fighting
or the same economic principle.
That the tariff is matter Of business
and cot Of politics is strongly demon
strated by the change Of States in con-
nection with it, Is they change from
agricultural into manufacturing States.
AS the looms, hammers and saws of the
Esst move West and South, there
accompany them protectionists and
protection principles. The capitalist
and wOrkingman may entertain Demo-
cratic principles, but capital and labor
are pro,ectiOnists. Protection Il, in
hct, as the breath Of their nOstrils. The
Republican Of the purely agricultural
West, who has been taught that the
tariff is merely an instrument to enrich
the Eastern manufacturer Rt his eX-
pense, compelling him to pay exOr-
bitantly for his plough, coat and food,
is a free trader: and the Republican
Representative from his district who
votes against Mr.. MORRIsON'S Free
Trade bill because his party's caucus
decided that it is his duty to do so,
misrepresents his constituents, as he
has no right to do.-Philsdelphia Tele-
graph, Republican.

REFUSING THE NOMINATION.
He Don't Think Either Tilden or GEN.
eral sherman Would Actually De-

cline.
WASHINGTON, March ls.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
hes this to say in regard to the alleged decli-
nation of Mr. Tilden to be candidate for
the Presidency.
In political circles here but little impor-
tance Is attached to the positive declina-
tions TO become candidate for Presid ent,
attributed to Mr.. Tildeu. There is no M ore
idea that Mr. Tilden would decline the nomi-
nation for President, if offered him by the
spontaneous action OF the Democratic Con
vention, than there is that General Sher-
man would, Notwithstanding his repeated
declaration, refuse the Republican nomiua
lion if offered him. The instances where
rendered crowns have been put behind by
those to whom offered have been so rare in
all time as Ia justify the largest measure
of incredibly rs to assertions similar to
those credited 10 Mr.. Tlden and General
Sherman
There is the strongest sentiment in the
councils here OF both parties that these
National conventions must not be made
the arena for rival contentio- OF mbitious
sspironts for the Presidency, but that lit
eIally and truly, the nomination must
seek the man. 1t is recognized by reason
OF the peculiar condition OF affairs, par
ticuarly with reference to the divisions
on the tariff which obtain in both parties
that the nominees Of both must have as
uuexceptiOuable personnel and public
record as possible. Hence the contingency
is quite likely to sriSe, in which no man
Who receives the nominal on could feel
justified in declining it."
