Facts for a Contemporary.

Driven from one position to another in its
efforts to defend the present high protective
tariff and secure the repeal of the whisky
tax, the Atlanta Constitution has finally
made a determined stand on its assertion
that a reduction of tariff taxation would
not result in reduction of the revenue. In
a late article it said: "Nevertheless, people
who think for themselves must inevitably
inquire how there can be a reduction of the
surplus, when the whisky tax is left intact,
and when reduction of the tariff will
more than double importations." If the
Constitution will take the trouble to
inquire into the facts respecting imports
and compare those of the period when the
country had low tariff with those when
the highest tariff was in force, it will not
again make the assertion, with confidence
in its correctness, that a reduction of the
tariff will not result in reduction of the
revenue, or that "a reduction of the tariff
will more than double importations
In the March number of the Forum Hon
William r. Morrison has an article on
who is Benefited by Protection" in which
he makes the following statement: "In the
fourteen years from lS47 to 1850, inclusive.
the imports WERE in proportion to popula-
ton, very much less than in the fourteen
years from 1867 to 1850, the very heyday of
protection. In the former named period
the average annual importations of dutiable
goods were So 60 to the person, and duties
paid, 81 IS. In the latter period the
average annual dutiable imports were 50 IL
to the person, and duties paid So o. If we
compare the last fourteen years, 1874 to
1887 with the period from 1877 to 1860, we
find that imports of dutiable goods, which
were to the person 81 So in the earlier
period, we're So 80 in the later fourteen
years These facts ought to dispose of all
professed or real apprehension of flood of
imports"
From lS47 to 1860 there was low revenue
tariff, and, as Mr.. Morrison shows, from
1867 TO 1880 the highest protective tariff in
the history of the country prevailed. In
the former period the imports in proper
ton to the population were much
less than in the latter period These facts
effectually dispose of the Constitutions
assertion. If the figures are not correct
the Constitution will probably point out
wherein they are incorrect.

The Rhode Island Democrats assert that
they have snatched victory out of defeat.
Their State ticket was defeated and the
next Legj stature will be Republican, but
constitutional amendment was adopted by
which the property qualification for voters
of foreign birth is abolished. This amend.
ment goes into effect at once. Heretofore
no fortign-born citizen of that State who
did not hold at least Sl34 worth of property
could vote for State offices. The BouIn
amendment abolishes this law II was
Wig rously opposed by the Republicans, who
recognized that its adoption meant gain of
Democratic voters. About 5000 naturaized
citizens who have not heretofore been al
lowed to do so will vote at the next State
election. As Rhode Island is very small
State, an additional 5000 or 10000 votes
will be very apt to have a marked effect on
the result. The Democrats say it will
revolutionize the political situation. The
amendment was adopted by 55 votes more
than the necessary two-thirds.

Congressman Tarsney, of Michigan, is
trying to get the President to veto the bill
granting pension to the widow of Gen
Logan. He urg that course on tine grour d
that if the bill is not vetoed it will be the
entering wedge for the creation of civil
pension list. The President cited the tease
of Mrs. Hancock, and asked how it diff cred
from the present one Mr.. Tarsney said
Gen. Hancock was in the army at tho time
of his death, while Gen. Logan had been out
of the service for some time, aud besides
there were grave doubts as to whe her the
wounds he logan received while serving
as soldier had anything whatever 10 do
with his death. The President i4rused to
commit himself, but promised a careful CON
sideration of the matter. 1t caunot be
denied that the granting of a pension for
Gen. Logan's widow is a bad precedent

The Little Giants Long Speech.
From The CIlica0o MaM.


A Chicago man tells a new story on Stephen
A. Douglas and William II. Seward 1t was lust
before the war, when both were in the Senate
Douglas was going on the floor TO make a great
speech and Seward called him into one Of the
cloak rooms and said to him:
Douglas, you're going to make a big speech
Come and take drink With me. have here
jug OF 20-year-ol brandy sent me by one OF
my constituents. Try little"
But Douglas declined, and soon afterward
made his appearance on the floor and addressed
the Senate in a set etfort. After he had finished
he again met Seward in the cloak room.
You're tired now, Douglas" said the New
Yorker, and you'd better try drop of that
forty year-old brandy of mine"
Tired" exclaimed Douglas, II should saw
was am exhausted. Could you expect any
thing else of a man who has Just finished the
longest speech the world has ever heardY'
"Oh, that wasn't long speech" Seward re.
sponded, little puzzled; you were on the floor
only fifty Minutes"
Fifty minutes" the Little Giant retorted

own story this brandy has grown twenty years

The labor party-0r one tax party-Of
Henry George and DR.. McGlynn is probably
destined to disappear as distinct organiza-
ton before the Presidential election.
George, whose infatuation with free trade is
almost as great as his infatuation with the
land tax theory, has fallen in love with
Cleveland since the latter's message to Con-
gress, and wants to turn the labor party over
to him. DIR. McGlynn, on the other hand
insists that the party must nominate dis
tinct candidate for the Presidency. Both
the leaders appear to be determined to main-
tain the position they have assumed in this
matter and to fight 1t out on this line If il
smashes the party to smithereens. Such a
contest as is promised can have but one end
ing, no matter which of the leaders wins,
and that is the virtual disarmament of the
party. If majority of its members endorse
Cleveland, as Mr.. George urges, the effect
will be to send back Immediately into the
Republican ranks all its members of Repub-
lican antecedents, and the party as distinct
organization will disappear. If, on the other
hand, the advice of DR.. McGlynn is needed
and separate candidate nominated, the fool
ishness Of throwing away votes upon him will
have so thoroughly taken possession of the
great majority of its members long before
election day that its voters will be very few,
and very little but the name of the party
be left.
