AS the ugly and alarming features of

tic proportions that the monster may at

1t Is truo that Ia the end the whole sys-

and difficulty of the management, as
finally the Combine would inclose not
single Interests but great numbers. The
law IL taking note of the new evil, but
one of the best efforts TO remedy it Is to
remove the laws that allow such comb
nations.

THE STRIKE on THE c., b. so. R.E

1t was reported yesterday that the
striking engineers had denounced any
attempts at violently interfering with the
railroad company's property, meaning
TO confne themselves 10 square fight
for increased wages AS this is one Of
the most intelligent OF the labor organ
izations, this movement, is looked at with
great interest: but ii has progressed far
enough 10 enable any one TO estimate
Its character since strike must be
Judged principally from the manner in
which II il conducted. The last great
strike failed because Of It's being started
on the absurd assertion tina. a number OF
employees had the right 10 dictate 10 a
railroad as 10 the people 10 whom IL
should deliver coal.
If the railroad employees in the present
case wish to command any respect In an
act that causes great loss and incony Ii
fence to the public, they must demon
strale that they have been wronged,
but that they are not interfering with
anybody's rights in their attempt 10 right
their wrongs.
1t cannot be denied that men have
perfect right to stop work unless they
have contracted otherwise, but It is equal
~ certain that they cannot dictate to
other people whom they may employ or
whom they may work. Perhaps the rail-
road engineers will conduct their strike
without violence or misconduct, but gen
orally when such affairs are OF started
mems passions become inilamed, and
there are not wanting mischief makers TO
kindle the fires Of strife The worst fea-
ture of the present one is that the strik-
ers cannot win without extending the
strike beyond the limits of the Chicago,
Burlington, and Quincy Road.

MARCH 2
FRIDAY
THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill before the House ought
to command respect in all quarters and
pass without difficulty. Ii is 80 conserv'
alive as TO be based on the principles OF
safety and Just protection, and is fair to
labor and TO the commercial interests
TO the capital engaged in manufacture as
well as 10 the labor in the same element.
The number Of raw materials to be put
or the free list, and the lowering OF the
rates Of duty on the articles manufac-
tured from these materials is the stroke
that not only will be wise TO Tighten
burdens on the necessary articles or
general consumption, but IL is progressive
towards developing our manufactures,
employing more labor, and opening the
markets of the world 10 American skill
that have been heretofore closed
An able authority on this subject says,
in cnumerating the merits OF the bill,
that "it enables American manufacturers
to sell their surplus products at profit
Ia foreign markets In competition with
those of other countries, and thus does
much TO build up II profitable foreign
trade, while at the same time securing
steadier employment to the work peo-
pie in the factories
Nothing can be more true and more
simple We shall buy cheaper goods and
have market for all we can make, with
the world to draw on for our materials.
The total reduction is fixed al 800 COO,
900 This includes about twenty-five and
u quarter millions on account OF the Tree
list; seventeen and quarter millions
on account OF wooden goods, 81 100000
tor china and glassware, three quarters
of million on the chemical schedule,
something less than half million on cot
ton. and one and half million on flax.
hemp, and jute, and on sugar about eleven
million dollars
The Republicans will Of course ca
deavor to delay the bill as much as posi-
bic, and there will be parliamentary tao
tics as well as discussions over the de.
tails If the Democrats stand to the
policy of their party, the results polite
ally will be very much the same as If the
bill should pass.
We have maintained all the time that
the safe course for the Democratic ma.
tority In the House was TO advance to
wards the desired reform with all its
forces In direction at least TO show its
loyalty TO its party pledges II anything
Is accomplished TO back with decided
result the party platform, then it will
only need good canvass 10 win the
presidency again. The question of inter
nal revenue reduction IS thus far left out
