=
and Means committee, completed his
tariff bill on Monday and introduced
II in the House on the call of states.
1t makes q reduction of 20 per cent.
on numerous articles, which in some
cases the reduction is greater or less
than this rate, and provides that there
shnll be no lower rate than in the
Morrill, act of 1861. The title Of the
bill is "An act to reduce import duties
and war tariff taxes" We may now
expect that the great struggle Of the
session commences in earnest.
The Washington Post says Of the
bill; at would be impossible for any
man TO prepare tariff bill that would
give universal satisfaction. Indeed,
so difficult is the work of tariff revis-
ion, 40 varied and conflicting the in
terests involved, and so discordant the
views Of even those who agree on GER
tain general principles of tariff taxa
ton, that one may almost say that no
man can make a tariff that would be
altogether satisfactory to any other
man.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Morri.
son yesterday and referred 10 the Ways
and Means committee, will, we are
confident, meet with as little opposition
as would be encountered by any
schedule intended to effect such reduc-
ton Of revenue as is now imperatively
demanded
All the protection afforded by the
Morrill, tariff Of 1861 is provided for
in the Morrison bill. Almost twenty
years after the war, and when the
people are being taxed to the extent
of about a hundred millions a year
more than the Government has any
proper use for, it would seem 10 be
high time 10 do wha, this bill proposes
ITO Reduce War Tariff Taxes"
1t may be said in favor of this bill
that it is intended TO insure the relief
falsely promised by the present tariff
also that IL is not unnecessarily aggres.
siye in any direction-aiming to make
the requisite and indispensable reduc.
ton Of income with the least possible
Of our industries.
We believe that about all Of the ad.
diiions to the free list will be approved
by the committee, by the House and
by the people.
The committee will give most care
ful consideration to every feature Of
the bill, aud will make changes where
good reasons may be shown therefor
Mr. Morrison does not claim perfec.
tion for this measure, and will oe glad
to be shown how it can be made better"

AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY.

The silent independent vote is
known to be fast increasing, but the
rate of increase is not known, and the
consequence is that in, all political
calculations there is an unknown
quantity which cannot be determined,
and which prevents any reasonable
certainty, IN advance, as to the result
of the coming Presidential election.
Rarity lines are SO indistinct and party
platforms are usually so indefinite, as
TO actual policy. that there is no guide
by winch, those who are becoming
weary of past insincerity and'present
assiduity, can shape their course.
Neither party can rely on the tradi-
tions of the past. The old issues which
excited mems livelier feelings are
dead, and now only issues which affect,
either directly or indirectly, the per
sonal welfare of voters a4e to be
counteda as factors in the campaign.
There is distrnst of leaders on both
sides and, the unknown quantity,
divided as. it will be, will decide the
party of tho next Administration.

THE CRUEL DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic managers are. put
ting the poor old man Tilden through
a course of gymnastics altogether out
of keeping with his age. lisa shame
to inflict SO much violent exercise on
the old gentleman, and the circus per-.
Torrance should be stopped by bis
physicians. Nobody was ever before
obliged to exhibit his muscle to prove
his ability to. sit in the Presidential
chair, and it is cruel practice which
should not be encouraged. 1t would
not be in the least surprising if Mr..
Tilden, finally, unable to grin and bear
the racking Of his old bones, should
rebel and in desperation announce his
policy on the tariff as sort of
counter-irrit,int. As long as tho public
mind can be kept engaged in the con-
temptation of his physical strength,
embarrassing questions as, to policy
are not asked, and if his muscle and.
wind hold out disastrous. party divis-
ions may be avoided; but at his age
the bones soon grow weary, and physi-
cal suffering may drive him, for relief,
to an expression of opinion which will
destroy the unanimity of the party.
He has shown astonishing grit and
should now be permitted to take his
ease, and should not be asked for any
more acrobatic feats until the Conven-
tion meets.

Ar present Blaine is the leading

to charge offenses, either of commission

that because Blaine is the choice of

tho choice of the whole country, or
that his opponents are not good men

until she was eighty years OF age. At

son for support during her few remain

Of 1t. He told her that he would see
that she was taken care of. He pur-
chased her new pair OF shoes, and
then walked her twenty miles to the
county alms.house. Taking the shoes
from her be left her ut the poor-house

survived the disgrace she had long
