Dealing in Political Futures.

There is really no difference of opin-
ion among Democrats as to the propri-
ETY. and importance of reduction of
the tariff. Allwho are true to the ia
miliar Democratic doctrine, ''the great
est good to the greatest number, '..agree
that favoritism in taxation, or the
building up of any special interest at
the common expense, is wrong In prin-
! ciple, dangerous in practice and dele
FERROUS to the mass in its general effect
But there are Democrats who for expe-
diency's sake wish TO put off any effort
to reduce the tariff until the party shall
have been installed in power in all the
departments of the Federal Govern
ment wait till we get in, is the Ia
comic way they put it.
The ''wait-till-we get-in', fellows be-
long TO the same school of politicians
who formerly dallied with the Green
| back business in certain States until the
| Republican schemers managed to steal
the traditional ard money thunder of
The Democrats. The Democrats of Penn
| sylvania lost the Governorship twice
| lin 1875 and 1879 through the folly of
temporarily denying their hard money
principles and attempting to please the
Greenbackers in certain sections of the
state while they kept explaining to the
/ hari-monev element . in others. They
professed to be for soft money with a
sort OF goid-and-silver attachment. just
as the "wait-till-we-get-in'' politicians
are now undertaking to play .protec-
tionist," with taritf-reform epjlogue to
:heir performance. But nobody was
deceived. Tney merely succeeded in
/ pro,ely ting for the GreenbacS ers frem
the democratic clement. wnile a: the
same time they either drove hard mon
ey Democrats into the Republican ranks
or filled them with temporary disgust
which prevented them from going TO
