Two Chemical Stories.

A couple Of good stories were recently
told Of an analytical chemist here Whose
name is authority when attached to a

talking with young brother chemist
when man came in with bottle Of
whisky

The wlissy-maker retired, and the

Tbeissue cannot now be obscured. It
is not contest between schedules. but
between wide-apart principles. The for
eign competitors of our market have,
with quick instinct, seen how one issue
Of this contest may bring them advaut-
age, and our own people are not so dull
as 10 miss or neglect the grave interests
that are involved for them. The assault
upon orr protective system is open and
defiant Protection is assaiIed as uncon-
stitutional in law, or as vicious in prin-
ciple, and those who hold such views
sincerely canno: stop short of an abso-
lutte elimination from our tariff laws of
the principle Of protection. The Mills
bin is only step, but it is towards an
object that the leaders Of Democratic
thought and legislation have clearly in
mind
The important question is not SO much
the length Of the step as the direction of
it. Judged by the Executive message of
December last, by the Mills bill, by the
debates in Congress and by the st. Louis
platform, the Democratic party will, if
supported by the country, place the tariff
laws upon a purely revenue basis. This
is practical free trade-free trade in the
English sense. The legend upon the
banner may not be Free Trade . it may
be the mere obscure motto, Tariff Re
form > but neither the banner nor the
inscrirtion is conclusive, or, indeed, very
important. The assault itself is the inn
portant fact.
Those who teach that the import
duty upon foreign goods sold in our mar
ket is paid by the consumer, and that the
price Of the domestic competing article
is enhanced to the amount of the duty
on the imported article-that every mill
ion Of dollars collected for customs duties
represents many millions more which do
not reach the treasury, but are paid by
or citizens as the increased cost of do
nestle productions resulting from the
tariff iaws-may not intend to discredit
in the minds Of others our system Of lev
ying duties on competing foreign pro-
ducts, but It is clearly already discredited
in their own. We cannot doubt, without
impugning their integrity, that if free to
act upon their convictions, they would so
revise cur laws as to lay the burden OF
the customs revenue upon articles that
are not produced in this country, and To
place upon the free list all competing
foreign products.
