A movement Against Randall.

1t is announced that Representative
George Morgan, of Philadelphia, and
others are about to organize democratic
opposition to the nomination of Mr..
Randall for President The opposition
is to be based on the ground that Mr.
Randall does not represent the demo.
cratic party on the tariff question.
A movement of his kind is, to say the
least, premature, since Mr. Randall has
not yet distinctly announced his at.
titude On the subject OF itsrh'rcduction
He is on record as against any tsr.f
not laid for the specific purpose Of rails
ing revenue. In fact he has declared
that a tariff laid merely for protection"
IS not warrented 10y the constitui on
In a letter written by him to gentle.
man in Galveston some years ago he an
nounced himseliin favor Of modif,a
tion and liberalization of the tariff so
that the commerce of the United States
might be- encouraged and built up.
Doubtless Mr. Randall il opposed to
the principle Of the Morrison bill, but
so are many excellent revenue reformers
and any number of free traders. Those
who support it do so because they be
lieye it better TO take such a reduction
of the tariff as it seems possible may at
present be obtained than to contend
for measure conforming to their own
peculiar views. PobAbly, to, Mr.. Ran.
dali means to carry his opposition to
the Morrison bill to the extremity Of
casting his vote against it without On.
deavoIing to amend it or substitute for
it a more acceptable measure Of tariff
reduction. In that case he will cert .iply
alienate from him many revenue re.
formers who still hope that he will be
able to act with the large majority Of
his party in congress on that subject.
What Messrs. Randall, Carlisle and
Morrison shoI!d do to reconcile the DIFF
ferences among the democrats in con.
gress on the tariffs plain enough. They
should agree to bill which will re.
dlce federal taxation not less than City
rEI'lion.ss ssf dollars per aBumn. They
should enl1rgc the free list by placing
thereon raw materials and other articles
Of prime and general ngcessi'y. The
should correct the inequalities, incou.
gruities and absurdities OF the pre- sont
tariff law, reconcile its Inconsistencies
and make clear its doubtful clauses.
The Democratic party expects them to
do something like this and they mus
not fail therein through any pride Of
opinion or devotion 10 local or sectional
interests.
Meanwhjlc let not the future course
OF Mr.. Randall and other democratic
statesman in congress be prcjudled The
tree il to be judged by its fruit rather
than by its blossom.-H1rrisJur3 P1,yleL
