full of inconsistencies as to make it obvious
that the real purpose of the originators
of the bill was not to reduce the
tariff in order to relieve the consumer. Had
that been their real purpose they would have
abolished the duty on sugar and on rice and
many other articles on which the duty is re-
tanned. The real intent of the bill is to be-
gin the destruction OF the protective system,
and it answers that purpose much better
than If its provisions had been impartial and
allindustries had been treated alike. For had
all industries been treated alike-had rice
and sugar along with salt and wool been
placed upon the free list the bill could never
have passed.

Why is it that Democrat when it is
charged that his party is in favor of free
trade Immediately gets angry and heatedly
denies the impeachment? Why is it that a
Democrat will denounce protection as rob-
berry, and yet deny that he is for the only
other tariff theory that exists-a tariff for
revenue only? Why is it that a Democrat
when the tariff is under discussion in Pre-
sidential campaign, never has the courage
OF his convictions? Why did he skulk away
from his platform of tariff for revenue only
in 1880, and why is he seeking o do the same
thing in 1888?

If the Mills bill is a step toward free trade, as
the PRESS asserts, then any reduction of the
present oner0uS system Of taxatiuI rs step in the
same direction. Are we to understand that the
PRESS objects to taking that step-ubjects to any
reduction whatever of the duties o. mports?-A
gus.
1t by no means follows that because the
Mills bill is step in the direction of free
trade that any reduction of the tariff on i'm
ports is step in the same direction. The
removal of the tariff on articles that do not
compete with articles manufactured or pro-
duced in this country is not step in the d.
rection of free trade. The PRESS is opposed
to the reduction Of the tariff on imports
when the clear purpose and intent of that
reduction are, as in case of the Mills bill, to
destroy the protective system.

Mr. Melville w. Fuller is now Chief Justice
of the United States by grace of Grover
Cleveland and a majority of the United
States Senate. The chief objections to his
confirmation appear to have been charges
made against him in connection with some
land transactions in Chicago and his atti-
tude during the war which seems to have
been somewhat Copperheadish. The
charges were not sustained by any trust
worthy evidence, and fell through, and there
were Republicans enough in the Senate
ready to overlook any flaws in his war
record to secure his confirmation with good
many votes to spare. Mr.. Fuller had the
earnest endorsement of the Illinois Senators,
both Republicans, and they worked vigor-
ously for his confirmation. 1t is to his credit
that those most familiar with his career
were the most earnest in his behalf
