New-York tribune., 1885-10-23

our sincere thanks to the Hon. Fernando Wood and
associates for their fidelity in this regard to the interests
OF the people OF this State and commend those mem
bers OF the House Representatives who voted for e
resolution for their prompt action In responding to the
imperative call Of the country for repeal OF the dhi
on fol egn coal.
Then as now there was no duty imposed on
anthracite ccal. After the abrOgation OF the
Reciprocity Treaty a small duty was imposed
on pituminous coal, which was imported from
Nova Scotia almost exclusively for use in max
ing gas The imposition of this duty had made
no difference in the amount of the imports oil
this coal nor any material difference IN the
price 1t furnished q revenue of 100000 an
nually to the Government, and Affected only
such wealthy corporations as gas companies
The repeal of this duty would be OF no benefit
to anybody except Nova Scotia coal miners and
operators. These facts were made entirely
clear in the debate in the Assembly. Mr. Hill
took the part of the foreigners. The Tweed
Democrats were determined to uphold Fer
nando Wood and his Free Trade doctrines, and
by a party vote they adopted the resolution,
DAVID b. Hill voting in the Affirmative with
iifty-nine Others. So far rs known he has been
n consistent Free Trader ever since, and fully
svlnpathizes with Villas in his assaults on
American shipowners and with Whitney In his
attacks on American shipbuldeTs. OF course
he would claim that his election was an ap-
proval of Free Trade doctrines.

UUY DFNOCP1CY SPLITS

1t is the opinion of tho. veteran editor of The
StaafS Z.iang that the Democratic party must
20 to pieces during Mr.. Clevclands term. How
ever much he desires the prevalence of the
principles which have been in times past idcn-
titled with the Democratic party, he believes
that party must go to wreck, mainly because of
the earnest purpose of many Democrats to aG-
here to those principles. This confirms the
position which the Republicans have constantly
taken, that the Democrats succeeded in electing
Mr.. Cleveland by false pretences. They pre-
tended to desire one thing here and another
there one thing in Pennsylvania and another
in Kentucky; one thing among the ward work.
ers in this and every town, and another thing
in the parlors where rcformers were assembled.
The party pledged itself to lmpossibities 1t
pledged itself to reward party services, and not
to reward party services. 1t pledged itself to
protect home industries, and to promote British
free trade. 1t pledged itself to meet all the de-
mands of trades uniOnists against capitalists,
and at the same time to protect all the interests
of property against encroachment. The party
cannot escape the consequences of the false
hoods to which it resorted in order to get office.
The Democratic party has no bond of sincere
belief 1t consists of warring factions held to-
gether by the cohesive power of a common ap-
petite for plumber. But the President cannot
appoint everybody. When he appoints any
body, ten others are dsgnstcd, and feel that the
Administration Is a disappointment, for it fails
to meet the only patriotic aspiration of which
they are capable. Neither can the President
treat all factions alike. Thompson, for exam
pie, had power to dictate his services i'll the
nomination and in the campaign were Of a sort
that would not bear discussion. But appoint
ments to please him anger all other factions.
The consequence is that at this hour a large
proportion of the Democrats who support Hill
do so in no liking for that small demagogue,
but solely because they want to express with
emphasis their detestation of the course of the
President. Others who support him do so only
because their faction would lose power in the
party if they should openly oppose its nomina
tions. Meanwhile, beyond a doubt clear ma
jority of the Democratic voters in this State
would be glad to sec Hill defeated, and many
who care for principle openly oppose him.
The immediate effect ought to be an over
whelming defeat. Hill and his spoilsmen ought
to be beaten, because they are what they are.

BILpS FREE-TR4DE RECORD.

The anxiety of Governor Hill to make the
election in this State turn on National questions
is not surprising. Anything that will divert
attention from his shameful record as a legsla-
tor and administrative officer would no doubt
be welcomed by him. Mr.. Hill has not much
of a record on National questions, but there is
great significance in what there is of it.
For one thing, his record shows him to he a
Free Trader. In 1871 Fernando Wood was
leading tho Free Trade assaults in Congress on
the tariff. The notorious Billy" Hitchman
thought to strengthen Wood by securing from
the Tweed Legislature an approval of his
course. For that purpose Hitchman offered a
preamble and resolution thanking Wood for
thus "giving evidence of the determination of
the people to be relieved of the burlben inn
posed upon them by the present high or protect
i've tariff The resolution was as follows:

THE TRIBUNE entitled to the privilege OF vot-

is of National importance. No Republican, no
good citizen, can afford to lose the chance Of
voting. The State is to be regained and placed
in the Republican line for the next Presidential
election. A schemng politician with tainted
record and with the confirmed habits of dema-
gogue, representing the worst elements and
tendencies of the Democratic party. is to be de-
feated by an overwhelming majority. full

party if every voter in sympathy with honest
administration will do his duty. Last years

class of accidents is so considerable that the
ouestIon how to prevent them is n difficult one.
Laws may be made compelling employers OF
labor to take all manner of precautions, anu
these precautions may be faithfully ana lOyally
adopted. But what can be done to prevent the
accidents hich are the result OF blind reckless
ness on the part of the workmen themselves
In the Plymouth case, the man who caused the
explosion almost seems to have done 1t on pur-
pose He could not have had any business IN
the disused and boarded up working, ana ne
must have known that it was not safe TO go
there. Yet he went deliberately tearing away
the boards to get into deadly danger. 1t Is the
same in many other cases. Employers nave
