4 FLATHE4D TARIFF.
contract systc

1t is Just as we expected. Mr.. MorrsOn's most
favored organ announces, apparently by author
ity, that a considerable lowering of the tariff
will be reported to the House soon. 1t will not
DO long bill, we are told, and will probably
be opposed by "a few extreme protectiOnsts
among the Democrats" but is expected to pass
the House without doubt. "What the Repub-
licans in the Senate will say to it remains to be
seen 1t might also have been added, What
the people at the ballot boxes will say to it re-
mains to be seen.
But VIC are especially interested just now in
the method Of reduction to be adopted. The
semi official announcement is that the expected
change " will probably be made in the main by
a horizontal reduction" Precisely That is ac-
cordng to past experience of Democratic states
manship. Utterly incompetent to adjust a tariff
to the many interests Of commercial and in
dustrial Nation, and anxiOns, as demagOgues
usually are, to be able to crawl behind some ar
bitlary rule of general application as an ex-
cuse for changes which ruin particular indus
tries, the Democratic party has always shufted
of responsibility by making horizontal changes
or tariffs. In 1916, having gained power by
fraudulently pledging itself to uphold the tariff
of 1912, that party substituted a level or
horizontal duty of certain fixed percentage,
regardless of the widely differing circumstances
of different industries. In 1857, having
blunderingly concluded that the country could
prosper with lower revenue the party made
horizontal reduction of a fixed percentage on
all articles. In the same fashion, we suppose Ii
probable, Mr.. Morrison may propose to cut down
all duties onc-quarter or One-ffth, although
such reduction would be harmless to some
industries and death to others.
We earnestly hope that no Republican may
stultify himself by voting for any measure SO
peculiarly Democratic in its confessed incom-
petencc, as in its hostile tendency. If there is
any Republican who believes that the tariff
should be reduced, let him insist upon doing so
intelligently, and with decent regard for the
widely varying conditions of different trades
Or If any one believes that this or that par
ticular duty is too high or too low, there will be
occasion to move for a change of that duty.
But broad and indiscriminate reduction on all
classes of goods alike would be by far the most
stupid and most hurtful thing that could be
done, even by a conyocation of confessed
or avowed free traders.
The country regards the Democratic party as
on trial, with respect not only to its purposes,
but to its capacity. If it has not the brains to
propose anything better than horizontal
reduction of duties, the verdict will be guilty
of stupidity, If of nothing worse. Horizontal
reductions and horizontal tariffs in point of
intellect, are just about worthy the statesman
ship of Flathead Indian.
New-York tribune., 1884-01-17

for the year Just ended, on the sole condition
that each paper shall be required to publish l,
conspicuously at the head Of its editorial
columns.
Our readers will bear us witness that we have,
as rule, troubled neither them nor ourselves
with the performances Of our reduced neighbor
But his unprovoked and foolish attack war
rants us in going little further. 1t is
perfectly known to the newspaper
profession generally that the reck-
less experiment of The Times has been a disap-
pointment and failure. Selling at three cents
to the newsdealers, it had profit in roundnum-
bers, Qess expense of manufacturer oftwO cents
on every copy. Selling at one and half cents
to the newsdealer, it has a profit of only one
half cent. Having thus thrown away three
fourths of its profit, it needs to quad
ruple It's circulation to get back barely
to where it was. Nobody believes that
it has the half of this. Aud, BESIDES it does
not sell what 1t prints 1t has pushed
out its papers in great quantities
upon the newsdealers, far beyond
what they ever expected to sell,
and has taken back unsold copies with
out limit. In one week one dealer bought
from it for junk $4,000 unsold copies.
Within three days it sold to one
dealer 11,400 pounds of returned
copies; and within another three days
4,300 pounds more. Thenewsdealers say their
returns reach twenty per cent of all taken out.
They further say that the bulk of its
gain was made within the first fort
night of its experiment, when many
L. - 6 ;fxr. +hot;f fhnV
gained more slowly fora time among the classes
it was evidently trying to reach, by its profuse
supply of criminal news and its systematic low
ering of tone; and that for the last month,
instead of gaining, it has generally been losing.
This, indeed, it itself, virtually admits, by its
CONTRARY to our experience)
that November and December are months
in which circulation falls off. Evidently they
have been months in which its circulation falls
off,
Even in the cheap competition on which
it launched out it is failure.
The little bantling of twelve
month published in The TRIBUNE basement,
The Morning journal, which differs
from it by being decent as well as
cheap, sells three or four copies to its
two. When it wonders why, as it
naively confesses. it finds November and De-
cember bad months for circulation, it need
only look at its own dirty columns
for the reason. Since it turned them into
sewer for the nasty crime of con-
tinent it has been steadily losing its respectable
who do not wish dish of its filth
served up every morning at their breakfast
tables. They may be willing topay two cents for
it themselves when they happen to want some
thing to pass the time on the cars riding down
town, but they now leave The TRIBUNE with
their families.

THE PdNPHLET IN POLITICS.

London. we are informed by cable IS Just now
flooded with pamphlets on the Egyptian question,
the said pamphlets being put forward by persons
having personal interests to serve. as for instance
Isnail Paoha, who would like TO be restored to the
khcdivate. The use of pamphlets for such pur-
pose can only be described as literary reversiOn.
For this the method by which the hottest fire
of political controversy kept up before the birth
of the newspaper press. At the time when Grub
Street hacks turned an honest penny by writing
news-letters weekly to he country squIres
and when occasional "Mercures" were sent
forth to carry here and there the gossip
rumors and balffabuous news Of the
day, politicians in tho habit of setting
forth their views and airing thor malice and pay
ing off their grudges In cumbrous pam
pilots No less a person than John Milton
piled this trade in his time. and with a
ferocity scarcely to be cOmprehended in those days
From Milton to Swift the political pamphlet con-
tinued tn be vehicle for unmeasured abuse and
vituperation, and from Swift downward it has been
at intervals revived for similar purposes. Doctor
Johnson conld write powerful political screed
when the occasion arose, though his sesQupedalan
phrases must have somewhat dulled the edge of his
satire All great writers in those days wrote OF
had written pamphlets BolingbrOke was a master
hand at the work. Addison could perform 1t grace
fully. Steele knew the trick. 1t was in fact the
precursor both of the newspaper leader and the
review article
But the press has made the pamphlet obsolete.
and if it is reverted to in these days. the public
perhaps justified in suspecting that the object aimed
at is which the press refuses TO assist, and |
which is, therefore, not proper one. The |
pamphlet can only reach the few. 1t is true that |
our Presidential campaigns always bring out some |
Of these old-fashioned documents, and that Ma |
tional and State Committees prone to expehd |
money upon the circulation of them. But it is |
doubtful if they effect much unless the press
takes them the basis for comment. The Egyp- |
tian pamphlets which are now being spread over |
London are the Instruments of Oriental intelli- |
gences, winch cannot be supposed to know much |
about so absolutely Western an agency as the |
press. But il is tolerably certain that the only |
benefcaTes in the case viii be the astute writers |
who have obtained handsome sums for loading and |
firing these literary Brown Besses.

GENERAL NOTES.

AprOpos of the discussion as to the antiquity
OF holiday cards the London correspondent OF The Man

possesses print representing the infant Jesus With
wishes for happy year. 1t is engraving
ecuted in Lower Germany In the second half of the fifteenth
century. The Infant. Is standing erect "a rich
Hover OF fantastic FORM holding little banner.
A correspondent of The london Telegraph who
happened recently to arrive at Yokohama the
vessel with Judge IIannan watched with much interest
the attention accorded to the laers luggage by the
officers. The judge, being about to begin Judicial
residence I'm the island was naturally budened with
many stores. Not all OF them opened but the
officers insisted on inspecting grand piano. kitchen
boiler and cat and moreover insisted that there
must be- stamped. But you can't stamp the cat, you
know" was u vain protest. and stamped she was.

who died in 1900 is just emerging from the network Of
litigation in which It has been involved for eighty-tb
years, and its representative appeared in the Orpha
Court Monday to ask tho distribution OF 81 600

descendant of family Of soldiers who have
been fighting the enemies of England genera
ton after generation, he could not reliDquish
his rank without poignant regret. Great as the
personal sacrifices would be to him IL nc were
compelled to resign his position in.the army
these would be insignificant in comparison Win
the loss which England would sustain in having
the name of this unique soldier stricken from
the rolls 1t Is announced in to-day's cable
dispatches that the military authorities will not
persist in their refusal if he be bent upon
entering the service of the King of the Belgians
and setting out for the Congo Country. First
and last he has caused the mediocrites of the
Horse Guards great deal of annoyance. The
outcries raised by i'll formed sentimentalists in
England over the atrocities of the lmperialist
campaign against the Tai-pings gave them an
excuse for revoking permission for him to COM
mand the Ever Victorious Army, although.
happily not until his work was virtually done.
His labors in the Soudan were not appreciated
in his own country, and when he was summoned
to Pekin to arbtrate between the peace and
war parties, and to avert the outbreak of
hostilities between China and Russia, the
military authorities refused at first to allow him
to go and compelled him to give positive
assurances that he would not take command
of the Imperial Army.
1t is singular that un officer who has so loyal
a regard for his own country as General Gordon
has always manifested should have won his
reputation entirely in the service of foreign
governments. AS the conqueror of the Tai
pings, the Lieutenant-GovernOr of the SOudan,
and the peacemaker beween Russia and China,
he has dignifed the profession of arms and
demonstrated anew the characteristic fitness of
English soldiers for positions of command in
barbarOus and semi-civilized nations. He has
been unfortunate only when he has undertaken
to serve his own country directly as in BasutO
land where he returned his commission in the
course of a few months, and also in Bombay.
where he frankly admitted his error of judg-
ment in accepting the post of Secretary to the
Yiceroy. Chinese Gordon has succeeded
whenever he has been left free to cut out his
work for himself and 10 square it with his own
standards of disinterested action in the interest
of humanity. There is no man who knows the
Soudan so thoroughly as he does. There is no
officer in the English Army who is so competent
to restore order to the distracted provinces, to
rescue the garrisons, and either to withdraw
from the country without loss of dignity or to
the advance Of the False Prophet
Yet we are inclined to believe that he will be
happier and more successful in the Congo |
Country, with complete liberty of action and
for pursuing those high moral aims |
which he always keeps in view, than he would |
be in the position Of command in Egypt or the |
Soudan which the military authorities have |
seriously thought of comforting upon him.

THE TRUNK LINE W1R.

Commissioner Fink has written letter de-
Tending the action of the Trunk Line Pool in
refusing to carry the freight of the Delaware,
Lackawannaa aud Western Railroad. According
to Mr.. Fink this action has been forced on the
pool by the policy of the Lackawanna, which,
he says, has refused to agree to the tariffs of the
Western roads, or to publish tariff of its own
to which they could conform. The consequence
of this policy has been, Mr. Fink alleges, to
disarrangc the plans of the Trunk Line Pool. to
keep the Western roads In state of chronic
uncertainty. to subject them practically to the
dictation of n corporation which refused to be
bound by any rules, and finally to compel them
to wrong other connecting lines by taking
freight from the Lackawanna at lower rates
than the former paid. 1t must be admitted
that Mr. Fink makes out a strong case for
his clients, though it is tc be remembered
