TEN, Senator Sawyer said he would IA
vor bill which had been before the
committee some few years ago, which
was that the postmaster-general adyeI =

IN the same sense as the hat manutac-
turer pays for the material of which
the hat is made. That does not mean
that hemakes a present of the material

selling price, and as there is some rate
of profit, the advance for taxes, like any
other item of expense in trade, is
charged upon the goods, with the usual

MR.. BLAINE's PLATFORM REPU-
DATED.

Mr.. Blaine, as might have been ex-
pected, has presented high tariff pro
lection, from partisan point Of view,
as an opposition issue to the Presidents
views on tariff reduction. We have a
long and apparently very pleasant win
ter before us in which to discuss this
question, and it is question which
must be settled upon its merits and not
upon political considerations. So far,
as Mr. Blaine seeks to make it appear
as a party issue he will fail.
1t is te weakest ground Mr.. Blaine
has yet occupied, and no national party
can expect to go into Presidential
campaign on that issue, no matter who
may be its leader, and win. 1t is posi-
ton of hostility TO the report of the tariff
Commission and to the Republican
platform of 1884. Upon this question:,
therefore, we beg leave to differ from
Mr.. Blaine, as he differs from us.
Freely acknowledging his right to his
own belief as a Republican, we claim
the. same right as such, and are free to
state our belief that in leading the
cohorts of the coddled State of PennsyI
vania, with his lieutenantS, Randall,
Kelly, Cameron and Mcpherson, he will
lind that Pennsylvania is but one State
and there is a large army outside its
borders who do not propose to be levied
upon any longer fOr its benefit. The
surplus question must be settled in
some way and in a different way from
what it has been settled 1t cannot be
settled in accordance with the Blaine
idea.-[Chicago Tribune, Republican.

THE Sandusky Journal proposes that

THE Sandusky Journal proposes that
Congress establish a code OF marital
laws to include the following clause:
Divorces shall be granted only on
ven adultery, or for impoten y de-
ception, INSANITY or Idiocy and for
adultery, that crime shall be punished
as bigamy.
Such a clause as this would not only
be of benefit to a national marriage
law. but is one which could, in event Of
the establishment of general marital
code going by default be advantageous
ly Incorporated in the State laws upon
this subject. A national marriage law
is one of the necessities of the day. 1t
is to be hoped this matter will receive
due attention at the proper time.

THE secretary of the treasury's report
throws some light on the drinking haO-
its of our people. The revenue from
spirits is 1926, ,944 less in 1887 than it
was in 1SSG-the figures being $69,G92,
266 for 1886 and $50, $780, ,32i for 1887.
This shows decrease of 4,24O,OOO gal
Ions in the quantity of spirits consum-
ed i'll the country, and that, too, in the
face of an increase of population Of
100000, At the same time the tax on
fermented liquors shows an increase of
2,245. .456-the figures being Sl9,676,73
for 1856 and $2l, go, 1877 tor 1887. This
increase of revenue shows that the
country consumed 100000 gallons of
beer more in 1857 than it did in 1886.
The tendency is clearly in the direction
Of substituting weak for strong drink.

THE New Haven Register says: "lf
the removal of the raw-material tax
will increase the export trade OF pro
ducers the fact is appart mt that they
are strong enough to compete with the
producers of other countries. If they
are strong to do this, then there is no
fear of their meeting foreign competi,
ton in their home market. The grand
result is that their market is the world.
They no longer need the stimqlant
which protection is said to give them.
They no longer need protection Of any
kind, which only burdens the home
consumers and yields to the Govern
ment a revenue which it is driven toits
wits end to expend.

ONE of the favorite arguments Of The

ONE of the favorite arguments of the
high tariff advocates is that high
tariff "fosters and builds up domestic
industries" Wages in Mexico are very
low. Living is cheap there, and the
Mexican enjoys much higher proteec
tive tariff than that in force IN the
United States. But in spite OF all this
manufacturing industries do not thrive
in that country. Now if an enormous
tariff rates "fOsters and builds up
domestic industries" why doesn't it
operate so in Mexico?

defends and advocates the imposition
of imports for other purposes than those
of reVenue-w which is contrary to the
