VaSHfAGTON AND The TARIFF.

Mr.. Depew deserves the gratitude
Of the country for having brought
before the people on Washington's
birthday the significant language Of
the first act which received Whshington's sig
nature as President. "Whcreas," this mem
orable act begins. ait is necessary for the
support of the Government. for the discharge
If the debts Of the United States and the en-
enlargement and protection of manufactures
that duties be levied on goods. wares and mer-
chandise imported" To Washington tho
patriot, and TO the men who formed the Union
whose blessings we enjoy it seemed necessary
for the encouragement and protection of manu-
tacturcs'' to levy duties on imported products.
Mr.. Depew strikes hard when he contrasts it'll
this earliest law making act OF the young Re-
public and its patriot President the British
teachings of the President who now holds
Washngton's place by votes secured through
fraud and crime.
TO all arguments regarding the constitution
atty of protective duties. the example of Wash
ington and the men who framed the Constitu-
ton is conclusive reply. The discussion is
forever closed for sensible men when it is seen
that those who made the Constitution inter
prctcd it so uncquivOcally by their first act.
But the act cited is scarcely less conclusive
as evidence Of the rightfulness and justice of q
policy of protection. which has been constantly
assailed on the ground that il burdens past
Of the people for the benefit of another part
Washington himself was an agriculturist, and
most Of his associates in the Government
some Of the most influential of them WIRE
Southern planters; but TO them it seemed both
lust and necessary to build up manufactures,
IN order to make agriculture prosperous.
Two replies come from Free Traders that
Washington and the founders Of the Republic
did not propose duties as high as those now
imposed. and that the infancy OF industries
needed a defence which is needed no longer.
TO the first point it is a sufficient answer that
wages in this country were not, at the outset.
10 per cent higher than in England, as they
arc now. That is a result Of the policy which
Washington favored. The object of Washing
ton was to defend and encourage industries in
the state Of things which then existed, and
narrow duties were then more effective thar
higher duties are with the present wide differ
ence between wages in this and other countries.
If it was right and wise then to encourage
manufactures without depressing the wages of
labor. 1t is not less right and wise now TO hold
fast great advantages and benefits already
secured.
The other question is one of fact. 1t is to
be decided by candid examination OF wages and
prices whether industries of the country do now
need defence. II they do, with the ielatYe
cost of labor what it u.s. the principles upon
which Washington acted arc as sound and as
applicable now as they were then. FIVE want
that difference in the conditions and wages OF
labor to be maintained. the policy Of the
founders OF the Republic is justified 80 long as
it continues to be necessary TO that end

TIME tn SNOW HIS HAND.

Governor Hill must shortly decide whether
he will fish for the Presidential nomination or
cut bait for Grover Cleveland. To a statesman
of the Governors build. who is generous to
fault-to himself--the exercise OF cutting bait
for the hook of the other man is more than dis
tasteful, il is positively distressing If Mr..
Hill finally concludes to enter the Democratic
boat in that minor and unpcturesque character,
his decision will be generally regarded as
signal triumph Of prudence over ambition. lie
has a consuming desire to fish for delegates
whose hearts beat true to his own inordinatc
greed for place. But that passion, strong as
il is, is surpassed in intensity by his fear Of
being left out IN the cold entirely. If he makes
an aggressive canvass against Mr.. Cleveland
for the Presidential nomination and fails. Mr..
Cieycands friends may take sweet revenge
by putting up a job which will deprive him OF
a denomination for Governor. What then
Why, then he must perforce seek the seclusion
that EImira grants, and return to the law and
the newspaper business. The legal profession
and journalism haye their delights. but Mr..
Hill has tasted blood and will simply pine out
side Of public Office.
We'll, he must decide pretty soon. II he has
the rcsolutc courage of his fierce ambition he
may determine to try conclusions with tho
President Otherwise the associate press is
likely to be informed in the course of few
weeks that Governor David b. Hill in pur-
suance Of decision which he reached long ago
has made up his mind to cut bait. The cleo
ton of Mr. Stcinway. the new member OF the
National Democratic Committee from this
fato ;S horalIaT in
as ga Hill victory" II may be
that and still the Governor may hesitate
about dropping his personal line into the
waters where the delegates swim. The instinct
Of self-prescrvation is well developed in the
average white man. When he is in doubt he
commonly plays for safety. We suspect that
the Governor will be found cutting bait at St.
LOuis.

RUSSIAN NAAGUVRES.

The Russian manifesto respecting Bulgaria
is most cynical contribution to European
diplomacy. The Northern Power assumes the
air of faithful and af1ectionate mother griev-

tade of a hayward child Bulgaria is de-
scribed as owing her freedom and very exist
cncc TO Russia and this is true. The five
great Powers. which are now directly or in
directly defending her liberties, held aloof
when the Bashi- Bazouks were ravaging the
Balkan, cutting the threats of Christians and
tiamplng rutbIessly upon the rights of a sub
icct population Russia liberated Bulgaria and
created nation, but alas speedily forgot that
her mission lay in the defence and not in the
suppression of the rights OF those whom She
cmancipated When the St. Petersburg diplO
matists or their official journals affect unsclhsh
interest and deep concern in the welfare Of The
balkan. they convict themselves Of hypocrisy
and can't Russia won the gratitude OF people
whom she had rescued from bondage and ty-
nanny because she deserved TO win il. Russia
has alienated the affections of the Bnlgarians
because she has shown herself during the last
ten years TO be their most INSCRIPTIONS foe.

An adverse report On the bill to restrict tho
mcnhaden fisheries has been agreed to by the
lIouse committee to which it was referred
There will be a minority report however. and
20 the matter must be decided Oh its merits in
the House. One or TWO facts relating to it are
uBdisputed. 1t is certain that the supply Of
food fishes has decreased of late years. and this
decrease may fairly be attributed either to the
wholesale catching Of these fishes along with
the menhaden, or to the destruction of their
food supply in the menhaden catch. The
menhaden industry is an important one but
the preservation of food fishes in our waters
Is Of much greater moment.
