Are those Democratic newspapers
which claim to favor tariff reform, but
which object to any attempt to reduce the
tariff until the Democratic party gets con-
troll of the government. in favor of continu-
ing 10 levy from $4,000, 600 to Sl0O,OOO,OO0
more taxes a wear than the needs OF the
government economically administered
require? If they are not, how do they
propose to decrease the revenue: DO
they propose to abolish the internal reVe-
nue. system? If the revenues are de-
creased either the internal revenue taxes
must be abolished or the tariff must be re-
duced. The protectiOnists advocate aboi-
ishing the internal taxes because
they want to preserve the present high
protective tariff. If the internal taxes
are abolished it will not be possible 70 re-
duce the tariff for many years. 1t IS FAR
to assume, therefore, that a journal that
doesn't want the tariff disturbed, although
claiming to favor reduction, is really IN
sympathy with the protectionists- The
argument that the Republican Senate
will defeat any tariff bill which the Demo
cratic House may send it. is weak ana
evasive. How is it known what the SEN
ate will do: It is certain that there are
several Republican Senators who are
strong svmpathizers with tariff reform.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, IN MS
annual report, argued in favor %
a further reduction Of the tariff.
If the HOUSE Sends a tariff bill to the
Senate, making the reduction necessary
to get rid Of the surplus, the Senate will
have to accept it or take the responsibility
of refusing to relieve the country Of the
burden of unnecessary taxation. If the
Senate refuses to pass the bill an issue
favorable to the Democratic party will be
made. The Democratic party Will 90 be-
fore the country with a record Of having
tried to give the people relief from excess
sive taxation, while the Republican party
will be weighted with a record in favor OF
continuing to burden the people with an
unnecessary tax of something like $780,
100000 a wear. If the Senate passes the
bill the Democratic party will get the
credit of having reduced the tariff, cut OF
the surplus revenue and relieved the
DeODIe of an unnecessary burden. In
either case, therefore, the Democratic
party will be benefited. If the Democrats
of the House refuse to pass a tariff
bill what will be the result? The
country will say that they abandoned
their principles and were unequal
to the responsibility which rested upon
them of getting rid Of the surplus reye-
nue.. They Will enter the national contest
handicapped, as it were, by their failure
to make an effort to do what the country
is demanding shall be done, viz: That the
revenues shall be cut down to point
where they will simply meet the require
ments of government.

Sahin,s Talk.

Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, has taken
the trouble to have his home paper, the
Minneapolis Journal, make an authorized
statement of his views on the public
finances. Mr.. SaDin is a new Senator,
and it is not easy to see why he thinks his
views respecting the finances of the coun-
try are desired or are of Importance, unless
it is because, being Chairman Of the Re
publican National Committee, he speaks
for the Republican party, or because he is
a Presidential candidate. Briefly stated,
his idea is that the payment Of the debt
ought to have been stopped a year ago,
but as the payment was not stopped
then, it ought to be stopped
at once The debt ought to be funded
into per cents. as fast as the bonds ma
ture. He wants the debt to be kept at its
present figures as a basis for banking.
He thinks the 1 per cent. tax on circula-
ton ought to be removed, and the banks
be permitted to issue circulation to an
amount equal to the par value of the
bonds. He feels confident that the banks
would gladly take , per cent. bonds as
basis for their circulation. Mr.. Sabin
doesn't say what ought to be done with
the So, 900, 600 of annual surplus. The
question relative to the disposition of the
surplus is of much more Importance
just now than the question of
the payment of the debt. In fact,
if the surplus is gotten rid of there will
not be a very alarming annual increase
in the debt. Does Mr.. Sabin want the
surplus distributed among the States, or
does he want the tariff reduced or the in
ternal revenue taxes abolished? If Mr..
Sabin speaks for the Republican party
his answer to this question will be Of very
general interest. AS far as yet known
the leaders of that party have not reached
an agreement respecting the proper sOlu-
ton of the surplus problem. While Mr..
Sabin is in a talking mood he ought to tell
the country what the views Of the Repub-
lican National Committee are respecting
the surplus.

1t has been considered matter of suffi-
cient Importance to be telegraphed all
over the country that the tea plant has
been successfully propagated in the
United States Of Colombia. The finest kind
of tea has been raised in Houston, Scriven
and other counties in Georgia for several
years, but no effort has yet been made to
prepare it for market on a commercial
scale. The tea plant has proven to be
quite hardy in this climate, and is very
little more trouble to propagate than
persimmon bush, yet the difficulties in the
way of its preparation to bring it down to
the usual low quality Of the imported
article have not been yet surmOunted.
Feasts have been held recently in BOgOta
and other countries of South America
over the discovery that tea could be raised
there. Every family in Georgia could
easily raise its own tea, and while this
has been known for several years but few
efforts have been made in that direction.
