TuFspAY EVENING, MAR. 10. lee4.
DIstIrctIon Without Difference.

Mr.. Carlisle ut the dinner Of the free
trade club, in New York the other day,
said "Taxation must be only for the
purpose of fostering and protecting
legitimate trade, strengthening the
Union, insuring the prosperity of the
people and perpetuating the system of
government under which we live" And
the 30 called free traders applauded him
for the declaration. Such a plank In
the next national plat form Of the Dem
ocratic party would not, we venture to
say, be very Objectionable to any large
portion of 1t. 1t is very different thing
from Mr., Wat,erson's famous declara-
tion in favor of "a tariff for revenue,
only" We see no essential difference,
except in form, between the creed OF Mr..
Carlisle, as he has expressed it in the quo
tation we make, and that of Mr.. Randall,
which was embodied In the Democratic
state platforms Of Ohio, Virginia, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania last year upon
which the first three were carried, and
in Pennsylvania the opposition made no
Roadway with their tariff cry. That
declaration was in favor of taxation
limited TO the necessities of government
economically administered and 50 ad
justed In its details as TO protect and
encourage home industries without
fostering monopolies. Mr.. Randall and
his friends seem to ask no more Mir.
Carlisle, judged from his latest utter
ances, seems to coucede no less.
To be sure, there will be a diversity of
opinion as TO the exact rate of duty on
certain articles which will properly pro
tect home industries without encourag
ing monopolies, but that is a matter of
detail to be ascertained by intelligent
consideration, like the precise amount o;
the different appropriations. No one
would seriously contemplate that aparty
platform should deal with such details.
II must proclaim certain principles and
if Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Carlisle can get
50 close together as the concurrence of
the speech we have quoted with the
Pennsylvania platform of 1883, there is
no good reason why that plank should
not be the declaration Of the national
convention.

Mr.. WATTERsoN has again broken
out into loud lamentations over the
prospect that enough Democrats will
not vote for the Morrison bill to pass it,
and he telrgraphs his paper that all such
"had better pick up their gIipsacks and
90 over to the Republicans, where, on
this question, they properly belong"
Talk is cheap and Mr. Watterson is fond
of it; but he does not mean much. He
is bright and somewhat erratic man ;
but he is not dictator of the Democratic
party. Even in Kentucky it does not
allow him TO boss 1t much less
in any other state. Nobody will leave
the party at his bidding; nobody seems
t) be coming into it upon his invitation.
lie is BOmbastes Furioso. He raves
and tears his hair, but the party has be-
come so accustomed to the spectacle
that too frequent repetition of il is
likely TO excite diversion, rather than
fear. Mr.. WattersOn made tariff
PLANK for the last convention it was a
botch and hurt the party he will not be
allowed 10 do it again and he Is much
more likely TO get broad hint to take
his own gripsack and go than 10 expel
better men, who were shining lights in
the party when he was talow dip and
whose good judgment burns steadily
after his meteoric display shall leave

that the liquor traffic can be regulated

who enjoy the laws privileges Shall abide

THE county commissioners are pre-
pairing to make large payment of the
county debt in April. This will no doubt
be claimed as u vindcation OF their
policy of leyying county tax of three
mills last year. But it is not. On the
other hand it is proof positive of what
was claimed by this journal at the time
that II was an unnecessarily high rate.
Two and a half mills county tax on a
properly revised assessment will yield
ample revenue every year to defray the
expenses OF the county and to make a
reasonable reduction of the debt. To
collect mole from the people and leave
it In the hands of the collectors and
favored repositories is wrong which
public sentiment should be aroused tc

The Defeat Of n scheme Tor tho Formation
or u new County.

west Chester Republican.
A bill was presented to the Sixth Gener
al Assembly Of Pennsylvania, at the first
session in 1754, the object of which was the
formation of q new county out Of part OF
Philadelphia, Chester and Berks counties,
with the county seat at PottstOwn, but 1t
was defeated. The action which killed 1t
was the following resolution which was
passed by the Assembly on the 18th of
February, 1884:
ResO!red, That the prayer of the peti,
tions of divers inhabitants Of the upper
end Of Philadelphia, the lower end Of
Berks, and part of Chester counties, pray
ing that a new county may be formed out
of the uppsr part of Philadelphia and the
lower part Of Berks counties, and part OF
Chester county adjoining thereto, whose
county town should be at Pottstown, can
not be granted. -,
The vote stood AZ yeas to 10 nays. OF
course all members opposed to the new
county voted for the resolution, and those
favorable, against it. All the Berks county
members, and all the Chester county
members, except Thomas Potts, were
O ooposed to it. The following were
the list of nays Samuel Ashmead, Sharp
delaney and Jacob Rush, of Philadelphia
Thomas Potts, of Chester county VIM
Brown, James Mercer and Adam Orth,
Lancaster county VIM. Brown and Rob-
Whitehill, Cumberland county George
Woods, Bedford county, aud VIM. Macay
cumberland county. Tho member
from Chester county at that tint
were David Thomas, Evan Eyaus, Johr
Hanuum. Joseph Parke, Richard Willing
Thomas Potts, Thomas Bull and Edward
Cones. This is believed to have been the
first effort to form new county with the
seat Of Justice at PottstOwn. The nam
of the proposed county cannot be fouu'
on the records of the General Assembly.
