THE END OF Il CHEAT.

Tho wool-growers of Ohio who read TIE
TRIBUNE will bear witness that they have no
right to be surprised. The vote OF the Demo-
cratic members of the House cannot have sur
nrised anv one who considered the clrcum-
stances in the light of events last year. When
the Democratic party in its Ohio Convention,
made oyerturcs to the wOOl-grOwers and
nromised restoration of the old duties, The
TRIBUNE took care to prove to them that the re-
duction i'm duties Oh wool had been elected by
Democratic votes that the party was pretend
ing, everywhere except in Ohio, that Its hos
tility to the tariff of 1888 was because the re-
duction of duties was not greater and more
sweeping and that it was certain that all Demo
cratic professions of readiness to raise the duty
again were fraudulent and dishonest promises.
meant to deceive the people.
The wool growers of Ohio arc not an ignorant
body of men, and those who read and can under
stand what they read had abundant reason TO
know that the Democratic professions were
false and fraudulent. But some OF them were
deceived, nevertheless. They voted against
Republicans by whom the protective wool
tariff had been established and ever defended.
They voted for Democrats who had never, III all
their political lives, missed an opportunity to
show hostility to protection. How sane and in
telligent men came to cast such votes we leave
for them TO explain.
When the election drew near, and Democratic
orators from Governor IIOadly down, were try
ing to make the woOl-growers trust the Demo-
cratic party, THE TRIBUNE again repeatedly
warned them We proved by citations from
the history of the Democratic party that its pre-
fences in Ohio were false, dishonest, and in
tended 70 deceive Still there were found some
voters who thought it well to trust the Demo-
cratic party.
We cannot congratulate them on their COM
mon sense in that matter. They have heard the
vote of the House, and know that most of the
Republican members-about nne-tenths-voted
for the restoration of duties. They know by
this time, too, that considerably more than
two-thirds of the Democratic members voted
the other way-as that proportion or more al
ways votes for every step that points toward
free trade.

THERE THE TROUBLE LIES.

Mr. Morrison is reported as saying that Inc
thinks there is too much tariff in the Prcsl
q Dental contest for. the Democratic candidate
ito succeed this year" There certainly is.not
anv more tariff in the contest for the Democrats
than there is for the Republicans. But the
Republicans, so far from being embarrassed by
the nrominence which the tariff issue has as
snmcd regard 1T as one of the chief sources OF
their party's strength.
Mr. Morrison is not the only prominent
Democrat who has practically thrown up the
snonoe i'm advance of the meetings OF the Ma
tional Conventions A number OF his Con-
pressional brethren are reported rs having been
engaged in that mournful exercise. AS Tor

destined to prove fatal to DemOclacys hopes.

upon the tariff, but instead of being cOnserya-

20 its wrong medicines. 1t Ia not, however,
solely because it is wrong that "toO much
tariff Is its ruination. Democracy Is not only
wrong but insincere and tricky, on the issue. ~

GnLn G0[NE.

Yesterday the exports Of gold were large.
The amount greatly exceeded expectations in
wcll-infomcd quarters early. in the day and it
appcarcd that quite number of firms had
found reason to make moderate shipments each,
which happened TO go on the same day The
effect of this movement upon the bank reserve
and the Treasury balances will he known soon,
but il is already evident that the outward flow
of gold has become larger than has been gcner-
ally expected. Yesterdays Treasury statement
showed that the loss OF gold had been
81 .6o6. 80 since Saturday last, and 81, 1896
since April l, and it is probable that the ship
mcnts to Europe Yesterday caused further de-
pletOn of the reserves
The fact is that the Treasury has been paying
ont much more than its receipts since April |.
Consequently it has been losing gold not only
by withdrawal on gold certificates presented,
but otherwise The amount of gold certificates
outstanding yesterday morning was 1886, l4o
less than on April /, so that besides rcdeeming
these. the Treasury paid out $oOS,l2l in gold
more than it received. A part Of This was for
silver. of which $327,7G4 was added to the
great hoard in the Treasury The fact that
silver certificates outstanding increased
1898. S39 in the same period does not Indicate,
theoretically or in fact, that the load OF silver
in the Treasury is lighter; the truth is that
these certificates come back To the Treasury for
redemption in gold through the custom houses
obout as fast as they are issued. January2 of
this wear 1896 734, Gel of these certificates were
on Standing; many millions more OF them have
since been thrust into circulation, and still the
amount outstanding April was 500, 1S5,66O.
The Treasury, then, has really been borrow
ing money by putting out these certificates, and
has been obliged TO pay through the custom
house about as fast as it has borrowed. AT the
same time, it has been putting out more legal
tenders the balance in the Treasury having
been reduced since April l. 5000, GGl, against
q decrease of only $l,25O,O00 in legal-tendcr
certificates outstanding. In effect, the Treasury
has borrowed $3,Sl6,661 by putting out legal
tenders and 1913, $3.50 by putting out silver
certificates, since April l, while rcdceming
Sos6. 40 gold certificates. And while borrow
inc money at this rate, it has lost $1,793, 364 IN
cold and gained $327,764 in wholly useless
silver.
II IS not to be expected that these facts will
influence the House. They ought to influence
tine Senate and, if need arise, the President.

The decision Of the Supreme Court in the Aston
smupcling case. so-caed, is long step III the di-
rectlon of practical common sense in Custom House
methods. The old maxim says that the law does
NOT care about very little things, and is certainly
pretty small business when an American comes
home from abroad for his Government to pry into
hi, trunks to see whether he has brought back
snit of clothes more or less, not actually showing
signs of wear. There can he no DOUBT
that a too rigid Interpretation OF the laws
for the examination of passengers baggage mas done
"a much harm as the former too lax
nterpretation. while it tends TO provoke an endless
and unTeasoning prejudice against the whole tarii
system. The Supreme Court interprels tie law
sensibly: hereafter passengers may bring IN wear

THE POLICE THEORY AND PRACTICE.

THE POLICE THEORY AND PRACTICE.
The police of New-YOrL are no doubt in
structed as to their behavior on duty. They
have printed rules whereby to regulate their
actions. 1t is Unsuitable presumption that
these rules are based upon the theory OF gov
eminent which is embodied in the State and
National Constitutions. Yet It must be con-
coded that policemen frequently act as though
they were the agents of deSpOtic government,
exhibiting lack Of patience and moderation
and n pronencss 10 wanton brutality which
would be sufficiently startling were they the IT.
responsible outcome of individual bad tend
encies ont which derive a sort OF official sgniil-
canoe from the impunity with which they are
manifested. The freedom and force with which
policemen IN this city use their clubs and fists
are ont of all proportion to the justification. 1t
is not an unusual thing to hear of really IN
offensive citizen being dubbed into inSenSDlllty
merely for protesting against some police man
date which is in itself an outrage, ana the
officer who confines himself TO slapping his We
TINS face or striking him with his fists Is by
contrast a model of self-restraint. Nor Is 1t UNI
common to hear that when some citizen thus
maltrcatcd reports the affair to the precinct
Headquarters, the official in charge refuses to
receive the protest or to act upon 1t. thus de-
prving the aggricvcd party OF redress, and
strengthening the impression that the police
look upon the public almost enemies, and
certainly not rs cowctizcns, with equal
rights before the law
When Mr. Herbert Spencer was here the
thing that appears to have struck HIM most
forcblv wa, the submissiycnc>s of thc Amcri-
Gan or at MI events the New IOrk people TO
inva,ions of their rights and liberties which
Engli,hmeu would. he said, never have toler-
atcd for twenty four hours. He referred to the
systematic oyer-crowding Of all public vehicles,
to the disregard for private rights exhibited by
many corporations, and to the manner in which
the police exercised their authority. There Is
no doubt that the American people are too long
suffering aud patient in regard to many OF these
things. for experience shows that whoever ac-
auircs the habit OF putting up with abuses Will
find plenty of abuses 20 put up W!rh.
There is. however. M reason why the police
should treat the public rs though they were q
conquered population. Nobody preSumcN to
treat policemen with disrc,pect. They arc
universally regarded with awe and veneiailon,
and the average citizen who /, called abroad
late at night returns thanks heartily ii he re-
GAINS his home unclubbed. Why then should
the so-callcd guardians OF the peace be 50
truculcnt? Their authority is not disputed.
Their political influence is deferred TO. They
appear i'm many respect, to be above the law.
Surely they might exercise thcir power with
more gentlcness. and refrain from trlmpling
wantouly upon a community that submits itself
10 them so mcekly.

Reports of trouble in Mexico, caused by the
attempt to enforce the new stamp act Whch
places heavy tax on many KINDS oil meich"h-
disc offered for sale, seem to have been eX-
aggeratcd The country is hardly on the eve OF
a revolution at least, and 1t is now declared
that the President has made an arrangement
with the taxpayers. This has curious sound
considering that Mexico is Republic III which
law is supposed to be law, and not mere ordln-
ances to be enforced or not as the Chief Lxecu-
tive sees fit. Yet it is intimated in the DIS
patches that the arrangement Is klnd OF
personal compromise between the angry mer-
chants and the Government.

The municipal elections throughout ONO

the Democrats are beaten by over 5000 ma

The result is undoubtedly due i'll part to the
