high protective taft. Its minor premise
is: A reduction made in the
revenue derived from q tax upon
the imported necessaries Of life" does
swsy with q high protective tariff. There
fore the great industries of our country
must be blotted out. their places taken BY
those of foreign nations and our working
men thrown out Of employment and q
means Of subsistence.
But it cannot be shown that either OF its
premises are true-it cannot be shown that
light tariff is necessary for the existence OF
our industries, nor does a reduction on the
duties of the "necessaries of life" mean q
reduction Of the tariff on al articles. The
Intelligencer's conclusion could not then
at all follow and no reason exists why the
people should tax themselves to no pur-
pose.
The Intelligencsr says within q year
cut nails have sold at forty cents q keg
above the duty on them; there T none
imported" What then does it propose to
do with the tariff 60 far as this industry is
eoacernsd2 What better proof than this
fact, confessed by the Intelligencer, is
needed to show that the idsB that Undue,
tries can not exist without g high tariff, is
unfounded2
The Democratic party believes that
the tariff should be iudiciously ap'
piled to infant industries that are not
vet able to stand alone. This can be
done and there will be no reason why the
great industries of our country shall not
move on just the same and the wage
worker still pursue his accustomed work
at ~remunerative wages, the people need
not be taxed to hoard up millions of their
money in the United States treasury.

A COMPARATIVE table of the strength Of
the merchant nsvies of the world which
hiss Just been published in France, shows
that Great Britain possesses p, 500 trad
ing vessels, With an aggregate tonnage Of
IL 200 900 tons. OF these vessels 4,649
are steamers, with a tonnage Of $4,000
tons, or rather more than one halt Of the
grand total Of burden. The United States
makes a very bad second, with $500 sail
and 2,7OO,O 600 tons. Norway has 1920
vessels, with 1900, 900 tons, and Germany,
which comes Immediately after her, has
5000 sail, with q total Of 100000 tons;
France, Italy and Russia bringing up the
rear with less than 5000 vessels. The pro-
portion of steamers is, however, Of greater
Importance than the total number of ships
engaged in trade, and in this regard
France stands second, although she has
but 458 steamers, Of $4,000 tons in
all, to England's 4,649. Germany presses
her closely With APO steamers aud 476,OOO
tons

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND THE
TARIFF.

The esteemed editor Of the Intelligencer
By reversing his speCtaclss, as it were,
tries to spy out something Objectionable
in the Presidents position on the tariff.
The President does indeed favor revenue
reform. That is what the Democratic
platform is pledged to do. But as the
message says, the question Of free trade
is not involved ror is there now any coca
sion for the general discussion Of the wisdom
and expedisncy Of q protective system
and it is intended 70 deal With the sub
iect in such a manner as to protect the in
terests of American labor, which is the
capital Of our workiugmsn." Who, without
reversed spectscles, so to speak, can get
free trade t~incture" out of thst2
The InteIigencer thinks the interests Of
our workiugmen will be best subseryed if
they annually see millions of their money
drawn from circulation by means Of in
direct taxes, and piled up in the United
States Treasury. Notwithstanding the
fact that the revenues are
nearly s25, 900, 900 less this year than last
still there is a surplus Of more than $685..
900, 900 above the years expenditures
All this is the peoples money. Without
some good reason can be shown why they
should be taxed in order that these millions
may yearly be accumulated in the treas,
ury, what thoughtful mar 81
object to this from Mr.. CL~EvELASD's
message: The fact that our revenues are
in excess of the actual needs of an eco
nomical administration of the government,
iustifss q reduction i n the amount extract
ed from the people for its support"
No good reasons have been shown Why
the people should yearly pay these enOr-
NOUS sums that must be useless in the
treasury. The Intelligsncer goes on the
supposition that they are necessary to pro-
proteet our industries It makes
the major premise Of oil its tariff argu-
msnt: Industries cannot exist without 3
