THERE undoubtedly remains sOme-
thing to be said in the discussion and
consideration of the question Of tariff
vet, notwithstanding the effort Of Mr..
Sherman to enlIghten the country as
to the protection necessary to stimu-
late home industries. According to
Mr.. Sherman. protection is equivalent
to harmonizing the varied interests
essential TO the welfare of the people;
the only safeguard against impover-
ishing and ruinous foreign competi-
ton. Without it, our great manufac
turing establishments would eesse to
exist, placing US at the mercy Of for,
eign manufacturers who would fatten
on cur needs. He can see no reason
for "tinkering" the tariff with q view
of reducing the great and constantly
increasing surplus in the National
Treasury. He turns to the internal
revenue, which is derived from taxa
ton of such prime necessities as 10
bacco, whisky, &c in great meas
ure, and would give us cheaper mar
cotics rather than fabrics to be used
in the economy of the household. A
demijohn filled with whisky at 2;
cents a gallon, is greater desideratun
than like reductisn in the price o
clothing and articles of necessity In
the household. Credulity will swallow
a great deal of stuff labeled as pana
cea for common ills, whether in thu
body polite, or physical organization
but the protection label of Sher
mans remedy will hardly deceive th'
people as to Its merits as means O

SENATOR SHERMAN began his re-
cent speech by censurlng the President
for not following precedent in his
message by discussing everyth, ng un.
der the sun. The Senator preferred
the old fashioned blunder buss charge
OF bird shot and scrap lead that scat
tered widely and hit nothing, to a
rifle bullet that goes straight to the
mark. The people don't agree with
the Senator in this. They like tell

THE New York press, with the ex.
ception of the Tribune, is not wholly
averse to criticism of Mr.. Sherman's
speech in opposition to tariff reform.
Says the Times: "Mr. John Sher
man has issued his programme on
what he C insiders the most important
issue of the hour. He r, viewed the
general subject of the surplus revenue
from the point of view of the protec
tionlsts, and made q caustic and in
genious but not very effective criticism
of the message of the President In
substance, so far as can be gathered
from his speech, Mr.. Sherman elects
to go before the country on the repeal
of the Internal revenue taxes and the
preservation intact of the protective
tariff duties. He went q roundabout
way in bis speech TO reach this con-
ciusion, but it is the only one that he
did reach finally. So far as concerns
his criticism of the President, it is of
but little Importance, because it Ia
largely based on the action of faction
of the Democrats in the House over
which Mr.. Cleveland has no control
The two aspirants for the nomination
of the Republican party as President,
have about an equally barren policy
to announce; and if the people get
chance to vote upon it def nitely they
will make short work of it.n
The Herald says: Mr.. Sherman
seems to be demoIaIized by the exi
gencies of his candidacy. His speech
on the message was mere rehash of
MIR. B'aine's cable, and displays poor
Mr.. sherman in the unpleasant atti-
tude OF one of Mr.. Blaine's most ab.
ject followers and imItators. So closely
did he follow his master, that he even
suggested distribution of the surplus,
a piece of idiocy on which 1t was gen.
orally supposed Mr.. Blaine held a pa
tent, with the disposition to prosecute
all who should dare infringe it. Mr.
Sherman's speech must have disap
pointed his friends in the Senate, and
will disappoint Western Republicans,
W no see that to oppose ali reform of
the 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
mands. Mr. voorhees, made a very
forcible defense of the message which
Mr.. Sherman had attacked, exposing
the wrongs and mischiefs of the sur

urging free raw material for the bene-
fit of American manufacturers He
declared rightly that the Democratic
party, in seeking to effect a wise and
conservative reform of the tariff laws,
