THE TARIFF.


The new departure on the tariff
question proposes to reduce the sur
plus III the treasury by abolishing
the duties on spirits, tobacco, fruits
and other Injuries. The advocates
of this measure hope to atone for
their opposition to the Morrison bill
by making a reduction of some thir-
ty millions in the new bill But the
prime difference between the two
bills cannot be called a difference in
the amount of reduction to be made,
il is difference so wide that scarce
~ parallel can be made. The one
is in the interest of the masses, and
TO get rid of excessive taxation gives
us cheaper iron, wooden goods, and
thousand articles that are in daily
use; the other accomplishes the same
object by giving the rich man cheap
CT fruit, wines, cigars and the luxu-
ries provided for him in abundance
by the labor of others. The one is
Democratic in idea, of practical
utility, and will benefit the masses
and tighten the burdens of the poor;
the other ''protects the wrong man"
as Mr.. Yaples phrases it, and makes
less the already easy taxes of the
rich.
But even this is done only as a
blind, because it is fact patent to
I'll careful observers that no bill for
tariff reform can be taken up at this
stage of the session. The claim will
bomade at Chicago that Randall
desired like Carlisle to make reduc-
ton of the surplus; that the only
difference was as to the manner of
such reduction and that Carlisle de.
feated the new bill in revenge fol
the ruin of his plans. Let the PEG
pie be prepared for this.
The tariff question should be
made the measure of orthodoxy; the
protectionist who stands within the
party on the tariff for revenue on.

alton from the National Convention

THE CRASH IN WALL STREET.

If the gamblers in New York who
risk their fortunes on the iuctua
tons of the stock market could win
or lose among themselves only, the
country in general would care little.
But disasters in Wall street react on
business everywhere, and the effect
of the failures of the past week will
be sensibly felt even in country
stores and remote agricultural dis
tricts.
A dishonest man, trading on the
confidence many have felt in the
name Of Grant has been able to
shock the financial pulse of the
country, and arrest the flow of bust
ness everywhere. But it is not
alone in the light of its effect on the
public OF on Gen. Grant, or on the
rascals or losers that we should only
care to look. The lesson of such
losses would be half neglected if we
did not reflect that it is only over
production, stimulated by excessive
duties that makes Wall street so
powerful and dangerous. The whole
method of business is unhealthy and
as destitute of morality as poker.
Work is honorable, but he who
draws the wages of the Iaborer,
without the exertion of muscle OF
brain in return is a drone in the
public hive.

In Too Much Hurry.

Burlington Hawkeye.
If we could only learn that there are
but "a hours in the day But it is ma
tiOnal fault with us to try to crowd about
36 hours into every day. We want to
make up 10 columns of matter into a 8
column paper. When q hen refuses to
set before she is ready, thus teaching hui
mainly lesson of patience and the eter-
nal fitness of things, we do not yield to
the hen; we construct artificial hatchers
and hatch about 10 dozen chicks in As
hours. If plants and vegetables refuse to
grow for us as rapidly as we think they
should, we force them into hot-beds, and
make them keep step with the times.
We fly past the wind and outstrip the
birds with our railway trains; we make
water run up hill; we light our streets
without oil, gas or candle; we take the
sting out of lightning with platinum tips;
when we can't fly we run, and if we
have to walk we don't: we simply sit
still and telephone. We so up stairs in
an elevator, and we call a messenger boy
or policeman or a hack with an electric
bell. We won't even make the physical
exertion to shout fire, we press a but
ton or pull down hook, and a machine
gives the alarm for us. We are going to
be physically lazy. If it be true as the
scientists say, that unused members and
organs disappear, in ten generations the
American people will be race of men
without Ices.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
/ SS4.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.
THE TINES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its history-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatlOn, and an able SSOtf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
tiOn as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display. but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which il is
edited THE TINES spends lavshly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news Of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
1t Il large variety OF entertaining and 1nstruc-
tive reading The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home Cir
Gle, welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens OF every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unSatiSfying. Those
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-mOving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with it. they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers; it was the i'm
proyement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
QuirC more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers of the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large and sets it before
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would have aStOnished us all twenty yeors ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents a week. fifty cents a
month. So year, two cents a copy.
SUNDA1-Four cents copy, 81 year.

a big mouth for pie.
Henry Ward Beecher is for Robert
Lincoln, and says he will not support
