The Tilden banquet in Brooklyn has
brought out general comments on all
sides
Ii reminds Democrats of the true
principles of their party in the person Of
one of its greatest champions, who, when
beaten down 10y conspiracy, chose to
sacrifice himself and leave it to his
countrymen 10 see that the principle Of
free and just representative government
would triumph just by the power Of its
right.
Mr.. Tilden SAW that his submission to
the greatest crime ever perpetrated
against American institutions would
have a more healthy and lasting effect
than if he had used violence to take that
which was his own In that act he
wrote the sentence of the Republican
party that has been carried out, and
there is 10 pardon that can take the Re
publican party out Of the pillory The
chance of rescue they have is in the tim
idity of ceItain Democratic politicians,
who have not the sense 10 see the drift
Of popular opinion, or seeing are afraid
to act according to it and adopt bold
and patriotic policy.

TRIMMING.

II Il rather TO be feared that the
revenue reformers, after all their efforts,
will fail to secure triumph, even in the
lower House there are so many con-
iliciing interests to be reconcilcd and so
many Democrats who feel that the pro
per way 10 curtail the accumulation Of
unnecessary revenues is hy an abolition
of the whisky and tobacco tax. rather
than ly interference with existing Gus
toms duties. - Washington Critic
There may be so many Democrats in
the House who fear that anything may
take them oil the routine Of timidity and
trimming, but there are also so many
Democrats who can see that the party
has won a national victory, greatly be-
cause Of tbs sins Of the Republicans, but
principally because il promised to reform
the outrage Of taxing the people in times
OF peace on the basis temporarily insii-
tuiel to meet The cxigencies Of war.
This is a simple proposition, and rs the
internal revenue taxes have already
been greatly reduced. ii is time TO reduce
the taril war taxes. The internal revenue
tax is not felt as the tariff taxes arc, for
they DO not impose a burden on The
neccssaries of life.
If the proposition is Just 10 take of the
tobacco tax in order to open the way 10
reduction on the tariff revenue we
have no objection. We should be con-
tent if long discussion and various diff
culties could be avoided by showing the
determined purpose of the Democrats in
one or two reductions, and the best pos
sible way would be to effect the reduc-
ton at a point where the tax is most
generally felt and the benefit Of proposed
reform most clarly seen.
In order to preserve the Integrity OF
the Presidents sound policy, let wool be
put on the free list and the import duty
on wooden goods reduced to fair figure
SO that at once the people could feel a
double benefit in advantage TO the con-
sumner and freedom TO the worker in
wooden goods.
II such a measure were put forward
and carried, there would be numerous
articles such as zinc and copper that
could be put on the free list, and various
reductions might be attempted; but
whether they were carried out OF not the
Democrats would stand on solid ground,
and even if the Senate refused TO pass the
acts the country would understand that
the party had taken step that showed
something more than promises to be
slighied whenever the politicians who
made them were confronted with real
and vital issue

SATURDAY FEBRUARY II

MAYOR Hewitt is the first public man
TO propose the abolition Of taxes on per
sonal property in Tie interest OF equity
and sound public policy, and 1t has nal
the effect OF calling attention to The sun
lect to an extent that has heretofore
seemed impossible. Almost simul'a-
neously with his suggestion appeared the
report Of the Maryland Tax Commission
in which Professor Ely Of Johns-Hopkins
University shows thc futility of trying to
collect an equitable tax from personal
property.
The TINES called attention some time
ago 10 this subject and noted the fact
that it being impossible to get an
equitable adjustment Of taxes on personal
nropertv Of course there results great
Injustice simply by placing the numbers
OF INSCRIPTIONS persons under compare
tive freedom. A New York paper, how
ever. considering this subject comes di-
rectly to the root of IL by saying that
public policy and the commercial in
teresls of the community are opposed TO
the direct taxation of capital, which Is
the life blood of industry and trade
II capital could be reached and made
to pay its proper tribute II would stay
away from New York, which has in long
generations wisely seen that the life
blood after all is the floating capital

the owners are willing Co subsist on the

Senator John Sherman, presidential
candidate, made speech at the dinner Of
the Home Market Club of Boston, in
which he characterized Mr.. Lowell as
absurd for saying that Mr.. Cleveland was
the most representative American since
Lincoln. II is not as absurd as Sherman's
candidacy for the presidency, and
is simply an assertion in the patent
way Of Republicans, without any
argument or fact 10 back 1t II

Castelars eloquent warning against a
policy of seeking military power to the
neglect of the arts OF peace, reminds us
that the once dominant military power Of
Europe is now the degenerate Spain. And
it may happen so with Germany unless
she foregoes the predominance of the
war spirit. The contrast between the
monarchical idea in this respect and our
own republican one is most striking.
While Germany saps her vital strength
TO fill her armies, America teaches ber
youth the mechanic arts, the professions,
and mercantile affairs.

We copy an extract from an article on
the pension system Let Us bear in mind
that when the plan first came before
Congress some Of the HAYES Cabinet were
for yetoing it, but the peculiar character
of the HAYES election took All the courage
and honesty ont Of that indiyidual-if he
ever had any-and the measure was
sneaked into effective existence - the
Pension Arrears bill Since that time
the plan Of pensions has grown from a
reasonable amount up to 100000 900 d
year-as it looks for next year.
General Grant, who certainly knew
about this matter what would be Just,
thought that $27, OOO0 OO would be suffi
cient for the proper pensioners At this
period, twenty-;hroe years after the war,
there seem 10 be more wounded soldiers
than at the close The pension business
has become practice of harpics IN the
form of claim agents that yelp on the
track of every vague claim and organize
clubs that care the politicians with the
bogus cry OF patriotism.
