THE PRESIDENT on The TARIFF.


President Cleveland has made Mr.. Carlisle
think that he is a jealous tariff reformer. II
NAV be noticed that all the frec-traders have
the same impression. If his message shonlu
fail 70 recommend most earnestly radical
change of the tariff, they would be keeniy
disappointed. They expect. too, that lie VIII
exert the entire power OF the Administration 10
consolidate the party in favor OF change I'D
tariff. and in this also it is possible they are not
mistaken.
1t will be noticed as peculiarly significant
that the President in conversation with ME-
Carlisle, is said to have urged that the new
tariff bill should be presented, not as any
mans bill, but as an Administration measure
the measure of the party. This implies a
determination to present such measure, and
to push it with all the influence OF the Execu-
tive. If he was not misunderstood. 1t implies
that the President is ready to recommend
bill of such a nature that it is expected to have
the suppOIt of ilcc-tradcrs. Judging from his
relations with Mr.. Randall, il may he supposed
that the President does not mean or expect To
have an Administration measure opposed 10y
him. While there seems little reason to doubt
that it is the Presidents intention and expecta-
ton to substantially unite the party upon some
plan of tariff reduction, it does not follow that
he may not find himself mistaken, as Mr.
Morrison has done twice already. To men who
have not given much attention TO the tarH
question. it may seem the easiest thlng IN the
world to devise compromise when lrec-
traders shall accept as " a first firm step toward
free trade" and which men like Mr.. Randall
NAV nevertheless support. But Mr.. Morrison
tried il and failed. and no one would be
SURPRISED if Mr.. Cleveland. with far less
experience or knowledge of the men with
whom hc has to deal, should also fail.
BY those who are Interested in defending
American industry, the warning should not b"
disregardcd. The Democrats mean to unite on
a tariff policy if they can. They are perfectly
aware that no union is possible, except upon
the basis Of a large reduction IN duties
espccalv on some important products ii the
defenders Of the present system n can to resist
its overthrow effectively, they mnst presently
begin the work with more energy than they
have shown in some recent emergencies. lt Is
now an open secret that Ilany of them were
approachcd, during the last Presidential can
pagn, by persons protesting to represent the
| Democratic candidate, and during the last
/ State campaign by persons processing l" I'P-
resent the President, and solcmnly assured
! thut there was no occasion to resist Democratic
| success OF to arouse the pcope on the tam
! question, for It WAS sacredly promised that no
reduction of duties should be allowed. II
ANYBODY was influenced by such promises as
/ these, it is to be regretted that his innocence
cannot DE rewarded by having to bear all the
consequences, which, mhappily, will fall upon
other manufacturers ana upon great body OF
! laborerS as well.

Tile EALLROAD COMPAcE


No doubt it is true, as everybody says, that
there may be too much importance attac he'd
to the new compact between the railroads,
which President Garrett has signed with con-
ditons only rs to the passenger business.
| IS still true that the enforcement of such an
agreement depends upon the good faith and
hearty good will OF the railroad officials. If
one of them concluded to break it, probably
there is no railroad man who can see how he
can be compelled TO observe its conditions.
There is no ascertained or asccrtainablc dam
age for violation of the compact. 1t is Doubt
full whether the courts would sustain and en-
force it n valid contract, in such sense as
to deprive the owners Of property OF the
power to manage it as they deem best for
their interest. But good will and good faith
must be assumed. For there is not the least
reason to doubt that all the railroad managers
arc anxious now to devise some means OF making
their business more profitable. The long
negotiations which have resulted in this com
pact have not been childs play, or in the nature
of theatrical exhibitions to amusc the public
Another objection commonly made is that the
details of the arrangement, the allotment of
percentages and the deposit of torfctures, have
not been completed, and may never be. No
doubt difficulties will have to be overcome in
this as in all past arrangements of the same nat
urc. But the vital fact, for the railroads and
for the public, is that the compact goes into
! force at once, with the details yet to come If
the companies should spend ten years pei feet
! ing the agreement about details, they will be
for ten years at peace, and practically operating
as if the agreement were completed Already
notices are given that east bound rates are to
! be raised again to 80 cents on grain at Il date
near at hand. The compact. without compile
ton as TO details, has enabled the companies to
raise rates from less than l 8 cents to 80 cents,
which is perhaps rs much as they will think it
expedient to raise them for a long time to
come. If the advance should seem to the pub
I lie large, it is but Just to remember that only n
| few years ago 10 cents from Chicago to New
York was the extraordinarily low rate i'm mid
summer which the railroads did not always at
tain even during the season of navigation and
of competition with water routes. 1t is not de-
sirable or desired that the rates should be put
back to the old level the railroad companies
/ know better than anybody else how much that
or any unreasonable advance would cost them
| But it is desired that fair and liberal cOmpen-
/ sation for the service of transportation should
/ he secured, and in so far as the compact is a
needful and effective step to that end, it is foI
the good Of the people as Of The railroads. Al
such combinations are liable to be abused, but
it will be time enough to protest and resist
when ohere is evidence that abuse is INTENDED
or is at hand.
In some respects, this compact seems les

With fine heat of politics three weeks behind

suggestion to Republican ProhibitionlstS at the
nrescnt time cannot be regarded as extensively
partisan. IL is based on an incident OF 'hc
recent election of which THE TRIBUNE has

not n Plumber ProhibitiOnist of the st. John
type. When he found the Republican party
defeated he set about counting the noses oil MS
Prohibitonst fellows as to their former
pulitical affiliations. He found so few old
Democrats i'm the movement that his con-
science troubled him. The result appeared
this wear. when he cam, early to the polls with
. bic, hunch of Prohibition tickets, and pro-
ceedcd TO make his declaration that he would
vote that ticket if any old Democrat would join
