TARIFF REDUCTION.

The result of the Congressional election
reiormers will have majority in the Forty.
Ninth Congress, unless some Of the Demo-
Gratis who are now classed as tariff reform
ers prove TO be protectionists and follow the
lead of Mr.. Randall
II was generally understood in the recent
campaign that the Democratic party would
make an effort to reduce the tariff to a rev.
enue basis There is hardly al intelligent
Democrat or Republican who will deny
this. There Is small faction OF the Demo.
cratic party that favors a protective system.
It's representatives in Congress are compar
atively few. There were enough of them,
however, when acting with the Republicans,
TO defeat the Morrison bill. Mr.. Hendricks
talked tariff reduction during all of the cam
paign. Mr.. Cleveland said little about the
tariff, but it is supposed TO be well under.
stood that he is tariff reformer. The next
administration is certain TO be in favor of
reduction of the tariff The whole country
understood the position of the Democratic
party and It's candidates for President aud
Vice-President with respect to the tariff dur
ing the campaign. The party has been sue
cessiul, and the government will soon pass
TO the control Of the Democrats.
The conclusion is irresistible, therefore,
that the country is not frightened at the pros.
pect Of a reduction of the tariff. The three
great manufacturing States are New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut They all
gave their electoral votes to the Democratic
candidates,
In the West the tariff reduction arguments
al Mr.. Hendricks had good effect. Indiana,
which gave Republican plurality in 1880,
gave this year much larger Democratic
plurality. Popular sentiment is moving in
the direction Of tariff reform, and there is a
large preponderancc OF the same sentiment
with the Democrats Of the incoming admin.

MIR. Carlisle will be reelected Speaker
He was very popular before he was elected
Speaker of the present House, and his pop.
ularity has steadily grown. To secure the
position again he will have much less trou.
BILE than be had on the first occasion His
reelection will mean that the tariff fight
will be renewed. Indeed il is difficult to
understand how ii is possible TO avoid it,
The revenues Of the government must be
reduced, and there are only two ways oil
reducing them. One is TO abolish the inter.
nal revenue system, and the other is TO re.
duce the tariff.
This Congress ought To do something 10.

POOR CONSOLATION.

An attempt is now being made to create
the impression that Blaine did not want the
nomination for President because he did not
think he could be elected. A Washington
special says that some of Blaine's Washing
ton friends think that he is surprised that
the plurality against him is not greater
These friends say that he made no effort to
get the nomination, and that he appeared
entirely Indifferent about the matter This
conduct was 50 different from his conduct in
1876 and 1880 that it occasioned, they say,
q great deal of comment
This sort of talk is all well enough TO take
the edge off of Blaine's disappointment, but
it will be difficult TO make the country be-
lieve it. II is true that there was remark
ably strong Blaine sentiment among the
Republicans throughout the country, but 1t
is not probable that the nomination came to
him unsought He may have taken pleasure
in comparing himself with Henry Clay, and
have fed his ambition on the thought that
he had played too prominent part in the
politics of the country TO be able to reach
the Presidency, but it is probable that il
can be proven that he made every possible
effort to get the nomination. When man
gets the Presidential fever it seldom leaves
him while life lasts
The remarkable personal canvass that he
made is pretty good evidence that he hac
never for moment lost the hope Of becom
ing President. 1t is doubtful if ever any
other Presidential candidate made such ex
traordinary efforts for success.
There can be no reasonable objection tC
anything that Blaine's admirers may do o.
say to tighten the disappointment of theil
chief so long as they keep close to the truth
In the new order of things that will soon b,
inaugurated in national affairs the proba
bilities arethat James G. Blaine and his dis
appointments and sorrows will be lost sigh
Of The purposes and doings of the success
full candidate will occupy the attention d
the country.

commercial policy OF the United States
One feature of it is expected to be none
tary union of American nationalities, fol-
lowed by general reconciliation of silver.
Treaties contemplating intimate trade rela-
tons with American States are now being
negotiated, and it is desired to enlarge also
our trade with Europe, Asia and Africa. at
seems to me" says the President. "that many
of the embarrassing elements in the great ma
tional conflict between protection and free
trade may thus be turned to good account |;
that the revenue may be reduced so as no
longer to overtax the people; that protect
i've duties may be retained without becom-
ing burdensome; that our shipping inter-
ests may be judiciously encouraged; the
currency fixed on firm basis, and, above
all, such unity OF interests established
among the States Of the American system
as will be of great and ever-increasing ad-
vantage to them ALL" The labors of the
cvil-service commission are commended by
the President, and an extension of the sys-
TEN of its operations is being contemplated

CLAIMS OF THE INDEPENDENTS.

CLAIMS OF THE INDEPENDENTS
1t is already mooted whether the indie.
pendent Republicans should receive recog-
milton from Mr.. Cleveland's administration
to the extent of cabinet appointment 1t
does not appear that the Independents are
claiming anything, but they will make a
claim, doubtless, if they think it will be
favorably considered.
If the Independents intend to act with the
Democratic party in the future, and they
can make it so appear, it is probable that
any reasonable claim they may advance for
recognition will not be treated with indif-
ference, but if they propose to 60 back to
the Republican party they are not entitled
TO anything from the Democrats
Their claim all along has been that they
are Republicans, and that they oppose Blaine
for the good OF their party. They wanted
TO purify the party and put an end to what
they called Blaineism Their object, if they
were rightly understood, was to put the party
in condition to become stronger than ever
Assuming that they are rightly under
stood, they are now the political enemies of
she Democratic party, and intend to do
what they can to defeat itin future elections
That being their position, it would hardly
be desirable TO have one Of their leaders in
the cabinet Mr. Cleveland should aim to
have harmonious cabinet, not alone as far
as personal relations are concerned, but ais o
with respect TO the general policy of the gov
eminent The Independents have already
received their reward. There purpose was
not to elevate the Democratic party to power
because they approve its principles, but to de-
feat Blaine. They have accomplished their
object and they ought to rest content
There are a few, doubtless, who will in
the future act with the Democratic party
because they believe in the tariff policy of
that party, but their number will not be so
great, perhaps, as to entitle them to any
prominent position.
For twenty years the Democrats have
been struggling to obtain control of the gov
eminent, and they cannot now, in this hour
of their triumph, afford To make any com
promise. They will soon hold the fort, and
none but Democrats should 60 on duty.

The United States consul at Rouen writes
to the State Department that under mis-

en- with wheat, rice and corn from India,
Brazil and the Black Sea, but none from
the United States. Rouen not only supplies
its local market, but is enabled to supply the
two million inhabitants of Paris more di-
rectly and economically than any other
port, both by rail and water. The consul
says: 81 cannot avoid referring to the in
jury which the Produce Exchanges OF the
cities of Baltimore, New York and Phila-
delphia impose upon themselves and their
countrymen by neglecting To remove this
embargo, for feel convinced that it is now
continued only from an oversight as TO its
existence. feel assured that each month
OF its continuance deprives the American
farmer of an immense outlet for his grain
and consequently of considerable profit"

are the better it will be for the country
There is not much chance, however, for tar
if legislation by this Congress. The 0em-
ocrats will, in all probability, prefer to wait
until there is u Democratic administration.
1t will be seen that the people Of the
West are wondering just now how they are
to meet the actual expenses Of living with
wheat and corn at present prices. That they
are beginning to realize the necessity for
cheaper clothing, agricultural implements
and the other supplies they are compelled
to have, is shown by the tremendous falling
off in the usual Republican majorities in
Western States. When the campaign Is
calmly reviewed it will be seen that Messrs
Hendricks, Carlisle and others, by their tar
III speeches, wrought remarkable change
in public sentiment in the West With
these facts before us, it is evident that the
people favor tariff reduction, and their rep
resentatives in Congress cannot hesitate t.
take immediate action.
