Referring to recent utterances Of Messrs.
Blaine, Sherman, and Dawes In favor Of re.
pealing the impost on sugar, the New Or
leans States, a Democratic newspaper OF
high standing and commensurate influence,
says:
For several years past the Siaics has been
warning those interested in the sugar industry
against any alliance with the protectlonists. II
was clear to our mind as the MONDAY SUI that
when the tariff issue became, as 1t was bound
to become, the militant question OF the day,
that the protectionists were logically bound to
strike first at sugar while the revenue reforms
ers were logically bound to defend It. The
sugar planters were not powerful enough to
trade with the protectlonlsts, and hence were
found to stand on the merits of their case, aud
all It's merits were those which commended II
to those they contemptuously styled. free
traders" and some Of their most superservlce-
able organs free trade cranks," while to the
protectionist II possesses no merits ut all, but
was on the contrary, the greatest obstacle to the
establishment Of our fiscal system upon an alb
solutely protectlonist basis Dispatches this
morning inform us that Mr.. Randalll now
recognizesthe strictly revenue character OF the
sugar tnrin.
There is no honest protection argumen,
in favor Of the sugar duty. The interests
Of the sugar producers lie logically with
those Of the free raiders, or revenue tariff
advocates. II the "revenue reformers''
ever gain full legislative power they will
inevitably increase the sugar duty. Ant
the same logic which must demand such al
increase will even more urgently call 70
high duties on tea and coffee, so that thest
three commodities will yield the bulk Of tht
national revenues. He who fails to Sc,
this has not mastered the rudlments Of po
lltical economy. There is irreconcilable
hostility between a revenue tariff and 1
protective tariff, and the time is not fa
distant when It will be impossible for tn
most dextrous Of trimmers to sklrmish be
tween those two ideas.

Mistaken Theory OF Economy.

The President says, In his message, that
he hopes no "mistaken theory Of economy"
on the part Of Congress will thwart the
efforts OF his administration to improve
the diplomatic and consular service.
We have well grounded fears that neither
the commendable efforts Of the Secretary OF
State nor the earnest sollcltude Of the Presl-
dent will prove sufficient to overcome the
moss.grown mistaken theory OF economy
which twlnes itself around the mind and
heart OF the average congressman whenever
called upon to vote appropriations for the
foreign service.
The submitted schedules Of the dlplo-
matte and consular estimates for the fiscal
year 1885 show an apparent increase Of
something over two hundred thousand dol
lars. Many congressman, without care
fully examining the matter, will grab their
"mistaken theory OF economy" aud shake
their heads; but II they will give the esti
mates honest and thoughtful consideration
they will be convinced that the suggestions
OF Secretary Bayard, II adopted, will &C.
tually reduce the present diplomatic and
consular expenditures several thousand
dollars and increase the respectability Of
the service several degrees.
We hope that all mistaken theories OF
economy may keep their hands of our for.
eign service during the present session.

A Christmas Offering,

Respect for the intelligence of
our people and a decent regard
for our own reputation forbids
our giving away TOY pistols"
waterbury watches" "Grand
pianos" chamber sets," or even
Lottery tickets" as u condition
of your patronizing our House.
Let those who will revive such
time worn "fakes:" none of them
for us.
We offer you at this time the
strongest inducement we know
of to select your Winter Over
coat from our Superb Stock.
Substantial reductions in prices
are the only "Chromos" we use
as 'bait."
Here are some: Two styles Of
Satin-lined West-of-B n g | a n d
Kersey Overcoats, blue and
brown, reduced from $50 to $23.
These goods are the finest we
know of in point of style, work.
manship, and quality of material.
There's only one explanation for
these large reductions, viz: We
are overstocked with fine goods.
Here are others: Two styles of
imported Chinohilla Beaver Over
coats, gray and brown, satin
lined throughout. They were very
cheap at S25. We have reduced
them to $40, however, in the
hope that we may unload them
during the holiday season. We
argue "flrat loss is best loss"
And it's better that we should
get rid of them now at loss
than carry them over another
year. Goods will undoubtedly
be higher next year than they
are now, but we can make ex-
cellent use of the money realized
from this mark down sale be-
tween now and then.
These Overcoats are on exhi-
bition in our show windows and
on our counters, and we'd be
pleased to show them to you al
vOlr convenience,

FpIToR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: In the re.
rort Of the meeting OF citizens to appoint a
committee Of one hundred, &C., you have
given me the credit of obIecting because Capt.
tol Hill was not properly represented, &c.
VIII You permit me to say that having another
engagement had left the hall before the COM
mittee of FIVE was appointed, hence took no
part, except to propose an amendment at the
commencement of the meeting providing that
this committee simply report the best means
of choosing q committee of one hundred and
report at n future meeting. II occurred to me
that the committee of one hundred should
fairly represent all portions of the city aud
classes in the community as outlined in the
address made by the gentlemen who called the
meeting, and II the 9ommlttee OF I'VE were
satisfactory to all concerned, so that when the
committee were finally chosen they would
have the united support Of the citizens OF
Washington. ! am, dear sir, respectfully
