Tine Debate on the Tariff

Mr. Sherman seems TO be dc;noral-
lied by the cXigencics of his candidacy.
His speech on the message was mere
rehash of Mr. Blaine's cable. and dis
plays poor MIR. Sherman in the I'M
pleasant attitude of one of Mr. Blaine's
most abject followers and imitators.
So closely did he copy his master that
he even suggested distribution of the
surplus, a piece Of idiocy on which it
was generally supposed Mr.. Blaine
held patent, with the disposition %
prosecute all who dare infringe it, Mr..
Sherman's speech must have disap-
pointed his friends in the Senate. and
will disappoint Western Republicans
WHO see that to oppose all reform
of tariff is fatal to them. because it is
to be false to the pledges of their party
and is opposed to their own just de-
mnnds. Mr. Voorhees, made very
forcible defense of the message which
Mr.. Sherman had attacked. exposing
the wrongs and mischiefs of the sur
plus taxation and the war tariff, and
urging free raw material for the bcnc-
fit of American manufacturers. He
declared rightly that the Democratic
PARTY, in seeking to effect II wise and
conservative reform of the tariff laws.
is the truest friend of the home mantl-
facturers and OF their work people.

THREE GOOD PRINCIPLES.
Why the Spirit OF Democracy Is Opposed
to UDlust TAXATION.

The Democratic party, through its
traditions, its platforms and its Presi-
dent, is committed to these principles:
o. The Government has no con-
stitutional or moral right to collect
revenue in excess of the needs of its
economical administration. Unneces-
sary taxation is unjust taxation. I'm
just taxation is tyranny, whether inn
posed in IL monarchy or republic.
(2) A surplus IN the Treasury is a
National evil, and may become Ma
tional peril. 1t is a standing tempta-
ton to extravaganza. 1t may per-
petuate high taxes for long period
by leading to the Inauguration of ex-
penditures that will be continuous.
The way to deal with surplus is to
stop its collection.
(3.) The taxes to be first abated are
those which bear heaviest upon the
greatest number of people-namely.
taxes upon universal necessities and
the essentials Of manufactures. Hence,
the food, the fuel, the shelter and the
clothing of the people and the raw ma
terials Of the manufactures should be
first relieved in any reduction Of taxa
ton.
These are Democratic principles.
They should constitute the Democratic
policy, Whatever compromise may
be required to secure the best attaina-
bic result it is the business of statesman
ship to make. Craftsmanship has been
defined to be "tho science of the prac-
tical," and the practical duty before
Congress is the prevention Of the sur
plus.
But the President is entitled to the
thanks OF the country and to the
united support of his party in his cour-
ageo,s stand for sound principles. =.
