THE Mftts Bill,

THE MILE Bill,
The Mills bill now before Congress Is,
I'm no sense. q free trade measure, Pro-
| tectionists are fond Of 80 characierizing
il, because they wish 10 excite prejudice
against il. and not because thej do not
know, "a well as any one else, that no
such position il contemplated by 1t.
Every intelligent man in the country,
no matter how ardent a free trader he
NAV be at heart or in principle, Is well
aware that free trade cannot possibly be
adopted by this Government Ger
tainiy in the lifetime of the
| present generation. so long rs the ma
! tioaal debt il the immense obligation on
the people of the country that it Is at
J present-and is destined 10 remain for
many years TO come-and : o long as
hundreds of millions of dollars must be
spent annually in pensions, just 50 long
will the country need an enormous e
enue. which revenue must he raised
either 10y tariff duties or a direct taxa
ton. No one favors the latter, 30 the
former must continue; and il l. therefore
evident that the United States will not
become n flee-trade country, il at all, for
= great many years in the distant future.
The friends of the Mills bill are per
fectly familiar with these facts, and the
measure has been framed in accordance
Herewith. II has No idea OF abOlishing
the tariff, but only seeks To relieve the
people and the taxpayers from some pof-
ton of the onerous and unnecessary bur-
dens placed upon them first by the iaril
as q war measure, and kept mp since the
conflict to extorl tribute from the many
for the benefit of the few, under the
pretence that protection was needed for
our infant industries
Ii looks as if the monster of protection
il a most insatiate creature, whose appe-
titc grows with what it feeds upon The
average of duties for the benefit OF
monopolists, so the statistics affirm, has
increased six fold since The idea OF LAYING
tariff duties so as to discriminate In favor
of manufacturing industries was frsi
embodied in our laws. At the first this
average dill not exceed : per cent, ample
now as then to cover the real difference
between the average cost of production
in this and other countries. And yet,
Notwithstanding this large increase, the
proposition of the Mills bill to reduce the
average of duties to 50 or 80 per cent, Is
bitterly opposed by the m%onopoliSls ana
their favored friends with the deceptive
cry that if any such step IL taken our
Infant industries will be endangered
The country is beginning to see
clearly through the himsy sOphistries of
the ProiectiOnist who desires only TO
fleece consumers that he may wax fat and
get rich the more rapidly. The question
of protection ys. free trade is not yet an
issue before the country, and ii the
Mills bill became a law at once, there
would still be enough protection left to
satisfythe greediest protected manufac-
turer. and 10 remain "A serious restriction
upon the trade and commerce of the
country.

In a labor lockout the resulting struggle
becomes pdrely Il question of supply and
demand. The New York brewery en-
ployes were beaten because their places
could be filled the Boston granite-cut-
tiers, who have been locked out for more
than a year, have won because %stOne-cut-
tiers could not be found to do their work
for less wages. Many skilled artisans,
indeed, regard lockouts and strikes as The
safety valves of trade, because they drive
surplus workmen into other v0cstions.-

when the arm was buried the three fingers

further says, 10y asking them 10 make Il

The good students in a mathematical
class draw circles from left 10 right. The

from right to left. Asylum patients do

There are TumOrs in the air of indie
pendents. That IL to say, there may be
some persons who cannot win an office
under the Republican flag and hope to
get the Republican vote and the discon-
tented Democratic vote. 1t is true that
there is often reason for discomfort in
the Democratic ranks, but it always re-
solves itself into a mere question OF
whether the wrong or the mistake com
planned of can be righted by the
act Of voting for a Republican. The
answer 20 the question generally
proves that a bad Democrat under
good control is better han a doubt
full Republican. Hence the necessity in
a moral sense as we'll as a political one,
of holding the Democratic party on the
proper lines of policy, so that it may have
a certain degree of pride that educate
its members 10 patriotic ideas. The use
and purpose of a party organization is the
good of the community, and the best mo-
tiyes ii can act on are sound principles.
The moment a majority fall to trickery
that moment the way is opened for
boilers and Independents. But We do
not see that there is any trickery in the
last primary election that could cause a
dofaction In tho namncYotic ronLu that
would help II independents.

BrYrNG BoNDs-Thc authority of the
Secretary OF the Treasury to buy bonds
with the surplus reaflirmed by Congress
is simply a temporary loosening OF the
%safety-valye. 1t makes no adequate per
maneLt provision for guarding against
the dangers Of a currency lookup.
The actual sur llus in the Treasury Is
over $3.50, 900, 900, and the idle money
therein 100000, 600 more. The c0llec-
lions are still yielding a weekly excess of
nearly $4,000, 900. No competent au-
thoriiy believes that the Secretary will be-
able to buy bonds enough Il absorb this
current surplus. The people who hold
the bonds are not, as a rule, those most in
want of money. They are held AS an in
yestment or security, and will not be sur
rendered for merely patriotic reasons -

founded, pays him this high tribute
There is no greater temptation in

conduct OF many newspapers, than 10
forget the precepts of private charity, Of
Justice, fairness, and moderation, and TO
use q great intellectual force TO punish
enemies, to crafty personal malice or
further private ambition TO this temp
tatiOu Mr.. Abel never succumbed. He
felt that it was we'll for a newspaper to
have a giants power, but he never used
this power like a giant except in defend
ing great public interests. He believed
that the true mission of IA newspaper was
to elevate as well as 10 inform, and that
ii was as important that il should be
clean and pure in its teachings as that ii
should contain the record of daily hap
penings. He had q high and pure ideal
in journalism, and he was true 10 it from
first 10 last, in spite of the tendencies or

r newspaper sen%sationalism which pan.
ders to the lowest tastes Of human nature.
