THE TARIFF.

We are uncOmprOmlslngly IN favor
of the American system Of protection.
We protest against its destruction as
proposed by the President and his
party. They serve the interests of
Europe; we will support the interests
of America. We accept the issue and
confidently appeal to the people for
their judgement. The protective sys-
TEN must be maintained Its aban-
dOnment has always been followed by
general destruction to all interests,
except those Of the usurer and the
sheriff.
We denOunce the Mills bill as des-
tructive to the general business, the
labor and the farming interests of the
country, and we heartily endorse the
CONSTANT and patriotic action Of the
Republican representatives in Con-
gross in opposing its passage.
We condemn the proposition Of the
Democratic party to place wool on
the free list and we insist that the
duties thereon shall be adjusted and
maintained so as to furnish full and
adequate protection to that industry.
The Republican party would effect
all needed deduction Of the national
revenue by repeating the taxes upon
tobacco which are a burden to agrl-
culture and the tax upon spirits used
In the arts, and for mechanical pur-
poses, and by such revision Of the tar

of such articles as are produced by
our people the production of which

/ release from import duties those ar
/ ticles of foreign production, except
l luxuries, the like of which cannot be
! produced at home.
If there shall still remain a larger
! revenue than is requisite for the
/ wants Of the government we favor the
entire repeal Of the internal taxes
rather than surrender Of any part Of
our excellent protective system at the
joint behest of the whiskey trusts anc
/ the agents of foreign manufacturers
FOREIGN CONTRACT LABOR.
We declare our hostility to the In
PRODUCTION into this country Of foreign
contract labor, and Of Chinese labor
alien to our civilization and our con
stitution and we demand the rigiC
! enforcement of the existing law
against it and favor such unmeQlaU
legislation as VIII exclude such labO
from our shores.
We declare our opposition to al
combinations of capital organized Il
trust or otherwise, to control arbltrar
ily the condition of trade among on
citizens, and we recommend to Con
gress and the state legislatures i
their respective jurisdictions sue

This policy will give employment to
our labor, activity to our various IN
dustries, increase the security of our
country, promise trade, open new and
direct markets for our produce and
cheaper the cost of transportation.
We affirm this to be far better for
our country than the Democratic pol
icy of lOaning the public funds with
out interest to pet banks.
FOREIGN POLICY.
The conduct of foreign affairs by
the present administration has been
distinguished by its ineficienoy and
its cOwardise Having withdrawn
from the senate all pending treaties
effected by the Republican admins
tratiOn for the removal of foreign
burdens upon our commerce, and for
its eXtentiOn into better markets, it
has neither effected nor proposed any
others in their stead. Protesting adj
herence to the Monroe doctrine, it
has seen with idle cOmplacency the
extension of foreign influence in Cen
trial America and of foreign trade
everywhere among our neighbOrs 1t
has refused to charter, sanction, or
encourage any American OrganiZR-
ton for constructing the Nicaragua
canal, a work Of vital importance to
! the maintenance of the Monroe doc
Urine, and our national influence in
Central and South America and ne
| cessity for the development Of trade
with our Pacific territory, with South
| America and with the islands and
further coasts of the Pacific ocean.
We arraign the present Democrat
! ic administration for weak and I'M
patriotic treatment of the fisheries
| question, and It's pusillanimous sur
render Of the essential privileges to
! which our fishing vessels are entitled
! in Canadian parts under the treaty of
1918, the receiproca maritime legisla-
ton of 1880, and the comfy of ma
tons and which Canadian fishing
vessels receive in the ports of the
United States. We condemn the
policy of the present administration
and the Democratic majority in Con
! gress towards our fisheries as IN
friendly and conspicuously unpatriOt-
ic and as tending to destroy a valua-
BILE national industry and an indie
spensable resourse of defense against
a foreign enemy. The name OF
American applies alike to all citizens
of the republic, and imposes on all
alike the same obligation of ODE
! dience to the laws. At the same
time that citizenship is, and must be
the panoply and safeguard Of him
who wears it and protects him
whether high or low, rich or poor, IL
all civil rights, it should and must af-
ford high protection at home and fol
low and protect him abroad In what
ever land he may be on lawful er-
rand

plies, or by unjust rates for the trans
pOrtatiOn Of their products to market
We approve the legislation by Con
gress to prevent alike unjust burdens
and unfair Determinations between
the states.
We reafirm the policy of appro-
priating the public lands Of the
United States to be home steaded for
American citizens and settlers, not
aliens, which the Republican party
established in 1862 against the per
sistant opposition of the Democrats
in Congress, and which has brought
our great western domain into such
magnificent development.
The restoration Of unearned rail
road land grants to thepubic domain
for the use of actual settlers, which
was begun under the administration
Of President Arthur, should be con
| tinued We deny that the Demo
cratic party has ever restored one
| acre to the people but declare that by
the joint action Of Republicans aud
| Democrats about 100000 acres of
unearned lands, originally granted
| for the construction of railroads, have
been restored to the public domain
/ in pursuance of the conditions insert
ed by the Republican party in the
original grants.
We charge the Democratic party
with failure to execute the laws Sc
curing to settlers titles to their home
steads and with using appropriations
made for that purpose to harass in
nocent settlers with spies, to bring
prosecutions under the false pretense
of exposing frauds and vindicating
the law.

CIVIL SERVICE.

The men who abandoned the Re
publican party in 1884 and continue
to adhere to the Democratic party
have defeated not only the cause of
honest government, of sound financial
policy, Of freedom and purity of the
ballot, but especially have described
the cause of reform IN the civil ser
vice. We will not fail to keep our
pledges because they have broken
theirs, or because their candidate has
broken his. We therefore respect
our declaration of 1884, tO-wit:
The reform Of the civil service
auspiciOusly begun under the Repub-
Iican administration should be com
pleted by the further extension Of the
reform system already established by
law, to all the grades of the service
to which it IS applicable. The spirit
and purpose of the reform should be
observed In all executive appoint
ments. and all laws at variance with
the object Of existing reform legisla-
ton should be repealed to the end
that the dangers to free institutions,
which Turk in the power Of official
patronage, may be wisely and effec-
lively avoided

MARY ANDERSON.

Miss Anderson ended her engagement at Palmer's
Theatre Saturday night, with performance of
Hermione and Per0ita In :" A Winters Tale" The
house crowded in and the represent alton
followed with eager interest and frequently hailed
with enthusiastic applause. Miss Anderson was re-
called after tho trial scene, and three times after
Perdltas dance and twice after tho fall OF the final
curtain She acted with deep intensity OF feeling
and she evidently suffering from extreme
WEAKNESS, the vital truth OF contrast between her
assumption of buoyant gee and reckless meniment

OF tragic herosm and sublime endurance I'm

Miss Anderson attalns to the perfection OF pathos

and, finally, her supreme and pulssant image of
the triumphant purity moral grandeur and celestial

ONE OF BAYARDS VICTORIES:

Secretary Bayard has the melancholy salts
faction of closing his inglorious career at the
State Department with petty triumph over
a weak and distracted State. The Hayden Re-
public has been surrendered to Admiral Luce
by the Legitime Government and restored to
her owners. The two men-of-war sent to the
island to present the demand, and, if neces-
sary, to enforce it by firing upon the capital
acted with unwonted magnanimity. Ordinarily,
the flag which has been insulted is hOnored
with salute by the nation which has been
at fault. In the Virginius case salute to the
American flag was one of the chief diplomatic
demands made upon Spain in expiration of the
outrage of selling the vessel on the high seas
and shooting from fifty to one hundred of her
passengers and crew. There was sharp diplo-
matte controversy over this point of national
etiquette, and the honors to the flag were final
ly dispensed with on the ground that the Viz
ginius had not come honestly by her American
register There was, however, no salute to
the Spanish flag when the wretched filibuster-
ing hulk was turned over to the American
feet Admiral Luce, having quickly accom-
plished his mission, was more considerate to
the diplomatic adversary. He accorded to the
ca
naval salute. The condemned vessel, at any
rate, was surrendered, and Secretary Bayard
has the consolation of knowing that in one
instance at least he has indicated with an
outstretched hand the honor of the National
iag
By a noteworthy coincidence Admiral Luce,
who has brought the Haytian Government to
terms without mduly exposing his crews to
the menace of yellow fever. commanded the
feet sent to the Dominion waters during one
Of the outrage seasons. Several hundreds of
American fshing-vessels had been systemat-
ically deprived Of their commercial and treaty
rights many of them had been seized and con-
demned by the Dominion authorities; in one
instance the American flag had been hauled
down from the masthead by ferocious officer
of the customs. Three United States vessels
were sent north for a cruise along the coast
where insults had been offered and indignities
suffered. Admiral Luce in that instance was
so eager to assist Secretary Bayard in carrying
out a course Of pacific and servile diplomacy
that he obtained copies of the Canadian Coast
Guard regulations and distributed them among
the American fishing fleet. His performance
was subsequently disowned by the Adminstra-
ton and the fleet recalled, but it was wholly
in accord with the State Departments pusillani-
nous conduct of the fisheries negotiations. Sec
rotary Bayard's displays of vigor and intre-
pidity have been exclusively reserved for in
significant States like Mexico, Morocco and
Hayti With Great Britain and Germany he
has been the mideSt- hammered statesman who
ever went stumbling about in Daniel Websters

THE TRIBUNE BEATS THE RECORD.

The Tribune is not given to brag. 1t likes to
have its pages speak for themselves. They did
so yesterday. But those who once became abb
sorbed in perusing the varied and attractive
tents of that issue might not realize that 1t prob
ably comprised more reading matter than any New
York paper had ever offered in single issue

printed a scant 90 columns, :" The Herald" 100,
The Times" about l04. The SUM- trine

The Journal" rot far from 115. and The
World" about 100. The Tribunes columns,
however are so much wider than those

Again. our pages are from five to twenty per
cent longer than those of our nelghbors-call
it twelve or fifteen per cent on an average. Al
lowing for both of those differences, The Sunday
Tribune of yesterday contained from $50 to 1855
columns.
Furthermore, up to the hour Of going to press
this morning, not a word of protest has been
filed at this office against the quality Of the
matter printed; and 70 be perfectly frank, we
cannot say we are ashamed Of il. Unless err
nightly, good deal of worse reading gets
into some newspapers than the cable news and
London, Paris, Berlin. Buenos Ayres and other
foreign letters, the fresh and spicy domestic dis
patches and correspondence. the elaborate liter

gossip about art and the drama and the numerous
other general and special features that characterized
yesterdays Sunday Tribune. We confess it with
out blush.
Possibly we gave too much for the money. At
any rate the error, if any, the side of
generosity; and it was allowable, at the close Of
the most prosperous year The Tribune has ever
had, to give its readers Christmas present of

LLDERMANIC AUDACIIY.

The audacity with which some members Of
The Board of Aldermen attempt to obstruct
public improvements and to blackmail corpora
tions which they think can be coerced into pay
ing tribute becomes each month moro amazing.
The scenes which occurred at the session of the
Board on Thursday when the question Of grant
ing the privilege Of running electric cars on the
surface line of the Harlem Railroad in this
city was under discussion were so disgraceful
as to seem almost incredible, even among such
ward politicians as affront public decency in
this city.
IL will be an advantage to the community
in every way if electric cars in large numbers
arc run on our surface lines. The
use of them will tend to keep the
streets free from much dirt and from many
nuisances, and will be convenience
to the public But even if this were not so,
any Alderman or public official who desires to
defeat proposed measure should be able to
give some reasonable and satisfactory argu-
ments for his opposition. Certain Aldermen
who were conspicuous in their opposition to
the granting of this privilege hardly attempted
to disguise the baseness Of their motives and
the criminaity of their jobbeFy. Not a single
journal in the city apologies for or excuses
the performances Of these men. Is it possible
that any members Of the Board will continue
to increase the public suspicion Of intended
blackmail on their part by adhering to a wholly
and improper position?
