The New York star, the administrations
only organ in the metropolis, comes as near
being an honest newspaper as tho cxlgencies
Of party permit. Ono OF the most con-
spicuously commendabe features Of the
starts political work is It's un1lnching al.
vocacy of tariff revision on free trade--or
"tarin for revenue only"-basls. The odl-
tor Of the star, Congressman Dorshei-
mer, is a well.known free trader. His views
are concidont with those Of Roger Q. Mills
and Frank llurd. lie earnestly insisted on
having "revenue only" plank put into
the last national Democratic platform, and
has never shown any respect for the dema-
gogical straddle achieved by that convon-
tlon In its deliverance on the question OF
taxes and revenue. In season and out Of
season, at all times and under all circum.
stances, the star calls on the Democratic
press and the speakers Of that party to
stand up boldly and honestly for the Demo-
cratic faith as enunciatcd at st. Louis in
i16, at Cincinnati In 80, and In Mr.. Secre-
thry Mannng's letter to the President on
the occasion Of the Sccretary's rendering his
resignation few months ago.
This course is, as we have said, conspicu-
ously commendable in that II is honest-a
fair, square way Of meeting and settling n
| great issue-the issue that is TO be most
| prominent in our future political contests
until Is is decided by the permanent adoption
Of the English revenue system, or the ces-
sation OF warfare on the American or pro-
tective system.
Being honest, the Stars course is, neces-
sarlly, exceptional, for the Democratic
party Is normally dishonest in It's treatment
Of this question. It is cowardly, hypocritl-
cal, and evaslve. II shrIeks for free ira le
in Congress, and skulks away from the free
trade banner In campaigns. Standing
sQuarely by its faith the Democratic party
could not hope to escape defeat, but it
would have the satisfaction OF being able
to respect itself, a pleasure denied 1t for
many years past.
Inasmuch as the New York Star processes
to keep up the free trade fight we venture
to suggest to the editor Of that paper a
plan by which the issue can be made def.
mite, can be cleared OF all fog and every
kind Of deluslon. Mr.. Manning says that
our tariff revenue should be raised by a
tax on few articles-the English plan,
pure and simple, except that we should
necessarily have list Of taxed imports un-
like the English schedule. 1t would be
but light task for the editor OF the Star,
assisted by Mr.. Manning, Mr.. Hurd, Mr..
Mills, Mr.. Tucker and other eminent free
traders, to make out "reformed" schel
ule. Embracing but few items, II would
occupy but small space in the Star and
would present the great question in prac-
tlcal, tagible shape for the consideration OF
the people.
We hope the list will be forthcoming al
an early day. Let us see what goods are
TO be taxed, the rate Of taxation ON each
the estimated revenue from each, and thC
grand aggregate. All articles not included
among the few taxables will 60 on the free

More Trouble With Cuba.

II appears that our government is at
loggerheads again with Spain over an old
trouble which 1t was thought had been oil
settled. The cause Of the trouble is Cuba
and its faithless authorities that old source
Of diplomatic and commercial annoyance.
A long-standing complaint on the part OF
our government has been the discriminat-
ing duties levied in Cuba upon American
vessels and products. In 1877 tine matter
of tonnage dues was adjusted, upon the
solemn assurance of the Spanish govern
ment that no higher dues would be levied
In Spanish ports, peninsula and colonial,
on American vessels than on Spanish yes.
sells. And in 1884 an agreement was for
mally entered into, guaranteeing to the
American flag equal treatment with the
Spanish flag in Cuba, regarding all products
transported to that island from the United
States.
American shipowners and exporters to
Cuba have been complaining for two years
past that neither Of these agreements have
been carried out in good faith, and our
minister at Madrid finally succeeded In June
last In inducing the Spanish government to
send a royal order to Cuba enjoinlng the
enforcement Of equal treatment of Ameri-
can with Spanish vessels. But the Cuban
authorities refused to observe the order, and
1t is now stated that they have brought
sufficient influence to bear upon the home
government to induce 1t to recede from its
acquiescence In the demand OF our minister.
The New York steamship companies and the
owners Of sailing vessels In all our Atlantic
ports are greatly exercised over the situa-
tioD, and are complaining that Secretary
Bayard is manifesting very little energy or
promptness in protecting American ship
ping. The West Indies are about all that
is left US Of the foreign carrying trade in
American bottoms, and unless we stand
firmly upon our treaty and legal rights We
are likely to lose even that. Here is q fair
opportunity for the President and Secretary
Of State to cause the sold flag" to be re-
spected abroad.
