Demagogues Against Statesmen

The late Charles J. Folger, when
Secretary of the Treasury in 1882, said
in his report:
It is believed that time has arrived
when a reduction of duties on nearly
all the articles in our tariff Is de-
manded and is feasible.
He added also:
A careful revision of the tariff should
be made with view of placing upon
the free list many articles now paying
a duty.
When Secretary Fairchild used al
most exactly this language we are told
he is ian enemy of American labor, .
all of which goes to show that the wal
tariff Republican newspapers believe
that the ordinary voter does not know
anything, but also has no memory

Reduce the Surplus.

The Republican party, in its national
platforms, has committed itself to re-
vision of the tariff, but in Congress it
has always opposed such revision when
it came to the question of passing law
for that purpose. In the platform of
1884 the Republican party declared as
follows: 'The Republican party
pledges itself to correct the inequalities
of the tariff and to reduce the surplus,
not by the vicious and indiscriminate
process of horizontal reduction, but by
such methods as will relieve the tax
payers without inJuring the labor or
the productive interests of the coun-
try.'' The President, in his late mes
sage to Congress, asked that this, and
that only this, should be done. The
President sees, what everyone must
see, that the accumulation of so largea
surplus in the treasury means CONNER
cial and business distress to the coun-
Try, and that at no distant day. He
advises its reduction in way that
strikes every business man as the safest,
easiest and quickest.-Fort Scott Tri-

Where Ohio Stands.

II is absolute nonsense to talk
about the Vice-Presidency on the Re-
publican ticket with respect to any GU
izen of Ohio. The veteran and lead
ing Ohio statesman, John Sherman, is
a candidate for the Presidency, and a
very strong and hopeful candidate
There is no other candidate in Ohio
for a place on the Presidential ticket
Gov. Foraker has been invited to be
one of the delegates at large from the
state, in the Sherman interest, and ne
has cordially accepted. The use OF the
name of Gov. Foster has no sort OF
warrant. He is friend of Sherman
never more so.--Cincinnai CONNER

According to Frank Hurd's figures,

millions abroad in year, while we sell
seventy millions. Our tariff friends
who are IN the habit of telling us that
we don't want to sell SO much abroad,
that a home market is what we want.
should ponder these figures awhile. If
England relied on her home market,
she would shortly be like Ireland, a
mere nothing. The source of her great
wealth is the magnitude CT her exports.
Our wealth is to come from the fact that
we export as little as possible.-Em-

1t is notable fact in political history
evidenced from the earliest days of the
government, that there is ruinous
fatality attaching to all parties which
have committed themselves to the sys-
TEN of high tariff and a large surplus.
Federalism died Of this disease, and in
later days the wing party, after an acct
dental election of two presidents, both
on military boom, neither of whom
lived to enforce the policy of theirparty,
broke down completely, under the effort
to engraft its policy on the legislation
of the country. And now the Republi-
can party has been travelling the same
road and bids fair to 60 to pieces in the
same way as its predecessors. The OBJ
vious inference from this is that the
American people refuse to be taxed to
an extent beyond the actual needs of
an economic government. 1t was an
unnecessary and an over taxation that
brought our separation from England
and the making of our independence
as nation, and the feeling still lives,
never to be forgotten.-Quincy Hereld.
