Senator Sherman, in his recent
speech, laid down one rule Of policy
which is sound Republican doctrine,
and it would seem must commend
itself to Democrats as well. 1t is the
following;
IF on Il candid examination it
should appear that any duty on any
article could be dispensed with with
out detriment to American industry,
it should be done, and if any article
now paying import duty could not be
manufactured here, it should be placed
on the free list"
That is not only good political
economy, but good patriotism.

HON. l.. B. CASWELL AND
THE TARIFF.

10 letter from this Office, addressed
to Hon. L. B. Caswell, member of Con.
gress from this district. asking him on
what articles he favors reduction of
tariff duties, he returned the following
answer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1883.
DEAR SIR:
In reference to reduction of the
tariff bill, would take the whole duty
off sugar, and save fifty millions duty
We only raise 1-1Oth of the sugar con-
sumed in this country, and the duty is
a tax upon every human being in the
United States. This industry in the
South is not worth nursing. It is no
doubt best to put lumber on the free
list and preserve the forests in our
own country. 1t may be, too, we
should, as a compromise to secure the
removal OF the tax from sugar, take it
off of tobacco. / do not favor that as
a proposition standing alone, but would
yield it, if necessary, to secure the
other. l suppose these I have named
will be generally supported by the Re-
publicans and opposed by the Demo-
Gratis, except they may favor putting
lumber on the free list.
Very respectfully,
L." B. CAswELL.
The foregoing reply is clear and ex.
plicit, and we doubt not will be salts
factory to his constituents. The re-
moval of the sugar duty will be a
benefit to every family in the Union,
and the inconsiderable production of
sugar in this country, Mr.. Caswell
well says, is not worth nursing by
Congressional legislation. Mr.. Gas.
we'll states clearly that he is not in
favor of the removal of the tobacco
tax as separate question, but if the
taking off portion of that tax is in
sisted upon, as compromise to secure
the removal of the sugar duty, he will
vote for it. From present indications,
efforts will be made to take off the
tobacco tax, or at least a part of it.
Members of Congress, friends Of tariff, |
declare the true policy is to throw the /

This is the free trade position, and Mr..
Thurman does not seek to disguise it as did
Mr.. Cleveland In his letter. That it mis-
states both the Democratic and the Republi-
can positions on the tariff question may or
may not be the fault of Mr. Thurman. He
has been opposed to the principle Of protec-
tion for great many years, and the warping
force of habit and association does not
always lead to correct statements of facts,
even when the intentions are honest "We
SEEK" says Mr.. Thurman. ''to reduce taxes
upon the necessarles of life; our opponents
seek to increase them" The latter part of
this statement is unqualifedly false; and the
rest of it describes motive of the Democratic
mind which is conditioned on the false as
sumption that protective tariff is an op-
pressive tax. 1t is an advantage to the Re-
publicans that. in campaign of this sort,
which is fought out almost entirely on one
great question, there should come from an
authoritative Democratic source plain dec
laration Of the Democratic creed of tariff for
revenue only. The advantage is still greater
when that declaration comes freighted with
statements that are plainly not facts.

People who read DR.. Mackeuzie's history
OF the case of the late Emperor Frederick
Will be inclined to think that the last days of
the patient would have been quite as many
and altogether more comfortable had he had
less medical attention. great many of the
examinations of his throat seem to have
been made largely for the purpose of graft
flying the curiosity of the physicians, who,
from time to time, became connected with
the case. DIR. Mackenzie, himself, SAYS that
many Of these examinations were made by
men not familiar with the use of the laryng-
oscope. and gave the patient great discomfort
without yielding any corresponding adyan-
tage An obscure patient would undoubted-
ly have been spared these frequent examina-
tions. and thus escaped great deal of an
noyance, if not of positive suffering But
the Emperor appears to have borne
them all without murmur. In
deed the fortitude of the slowly dying
man, his patience and submissiveness con-
stitute one of the most remarkable features
of this remarkable case. Never but once.
says DR.. Mackenzie. did he utter word of
complaint. The exception was when Prof.
Bergman roughly thrust his finger into the
wound in his throat. DIR. Mackenzie utterly
negatives the statement of the German ply
slcians that the Emperor was in ignorance of
the nature of his disease. Even before the
hrst positive evidence Of cancer appeared
the Emperor was made aware that there was
grave suspicion of the existence of that di-
sease. Frederick talked little about his
case, but what he said indicated that he ful-
ly appreciated its gravity. His calmness
and self possession remained till the last.
and his solicitude was for others rather than
for himself. HE was the noblest specimen
of humanity" says DIR. Mackenzie, shat it
was ever my privilege to know"

cuRR ENT COMMENT
DEsPICABLE ROBBERY.
IN. Y. Mail and Express.1


The shameful robbery of the women and
girls who are employed in the government
printing office ought to result in the defeat
Of the man who is responsible for it and
who Is no less person than Mr.. Cleveland
himself. The other day, which was pay
day, a person, with the presumable permis-
sion of Mr.. Benedict, demanded money
from the employees of the office. The sums
contributed by the women were not fixed,
but 20 per cent Of this months pay was ex.
torted from the men. This was in the build
ing where the public printing is done, and
was consequently in violation of the law.
The names of the women who paid were
taken down, and the amounts set opposite
their names. 1t was perfectly understood
by the men ana women who were thus
robbed that those who did not pay or who
contributed inadequate sums would be dis
missed first when the time arrived for cut
ting down the force. The result was, of
course, that good many government clerks
and poor women are pinched to-day for the
necessaries of life because Grover Cleveland Is
representative took their money from them
in order that Grover Cleveland might be re-
elected President of the United States. 1t
was q sad day for the people who depend
upon the pittance that they receive from the
government, but it ought to be a sadder day
fof the Democratic party.
