Mr. HENRY +. KEENAN,, the jcurn slis,

troversy with the Scranton Truth on the
subjec. OF the tNifl, Mr.. keenan, takes the
Democratic view of the sub sct, and he
marshsis series Of crushing arguments,
the force OF which his antagonist seems un.
able to breaf. The latter's latest admis-
sion seems to forecloee his case when he
says at In alleged sgainst protection that
IL Increases the wealth OF miliionaires In
America and does not insure for the worker
Q fair share OF the profits Of his toll. We
bslieye this, and still we think 1t is better
than free trade, because free trade will add
to the wealth OF the millionaires of Great
Britain at the expense OF American labor
and capital" This argument seems to
mean that so long ss American millionsires
commit tariff robbery, there is no just eau SO
OF complaint.

RELIEVE that we ought to seek that
point OF stable equilibrium somew here be-
tween prohibitory tariff on the one hand
and tariff that gives no protection on the
other. What's that point OF stable eauilib-
rum In my judgment 1t Is this /: A rate
30 high that foreign producers cannot il ,od
our markets and break down our home
manufacturers, but not so high as to keep
them altogether out, enabling our manu-.
isctureis TO combine and raise the prices,
nor 30 high as to stimulate an unnatural
and unhealthy growth OF manufsctures In
other words, would have the duty 90 sd :

We have heard no Republican attempt
to make answer 10 the charge that 10
the present tariff position of the Repub.
sican party there Is q complete and wide
divergence from honored party traditions.
II Ia needless to quote from the speeches
OF Mr. Garfield, for 1t isa well-known fact
that they bristled with reasons for reve-
nue. reform. In 1882 President Arthur
on this point said
1t IL one OF the tritsst maxims OF po-
litical economy that all taxes are burden
some, however wisely and prudentiy i'm.
posed, and though there have al ways been
among our people wide differences Of sem
timent - to the beat methods Of rails.
ing the national revenue and, indeed,
% to the principles upon which taxation
should be based, there has been snbstan.
taxes ought to be levied a. are necessary
for . wise and economical administration
OF the government. i recommended an
enlargement Of the free list and . general
revision OF the tariff.
Had President Arthur been member
OF the House when the Mills bill was on
anal passage, consistency would have
required him to support 1t. Secretary
FOlger was Of III, tame opinion as his
chief, when he uttered these sentiments
regarding the work OF the tariff com.
mission "All agree that Q revision Of
the tariff is necessary. The commission
has sought to present q scheme Of tariff
duties In which substantial reduction
should be the distinguishing feature. "
And his successor, Secretary McCulloch,
thought likewise as Is seen In these
opinions
First--Thst tha existing duties upon raw
materials which are to be used In manu-
facture should be removed. This can be
done In the interest OF our foreign trade.
Second-That the duties upon the articles
used or consumed by those who arc the
least able to bear the burden OF taxation
should be redu uced. This also can be effected
without prejudice to our export trade.
These are all Republican opinions on a
question that has properly no relation to
party politics. When 1t was not an issue
between the parties these honored Re.
publicans freely expressed themselves as
quoted. Arthur and Folger are dead
but McCulloch still lives, and we have
seen nothing to show that his Views have
been changed, For expressing these
opinions six years ago, Arthur, folgel
and McCulloch were not o3traclzed by
their party, yet the Democrat. g%,S,a g%,S, nd
vance their views IS n present issue are

i Is a senseless position for the Republican
party to take, and must result in its over

tries, they will understand that 1t Is very
unlikely that these industries will have
the protection OF duty taken Off them,
until 1t Is clear that they can stand
1t, and they will flourish by 1t
Some Of these days such a condition
of things may arise and then sensible
manufacturers will no longer ask for
protection for they only want protector n
while they need it.
The iron industry needs free ore ard
free coal. They should be freed in the
Mills bill, and would have been but for
the fear that the congressman repre-.
eentiog mineral districts had that
their constituents would think that
they would be injured by taking the duty
of the natural products of their land
for which idea there is little foundation
when 1t Is remembered that the transpor-
tation charge on tulky and low-prced
products itself provides heavy burthen
on their Importation.
The day is already here when we are
able to export charcoal and pig iron to
England. Six hundred tons have been
sold for delivery from the Northwest,
by lake and canals to New York, thence
by steamer TO Liverpool, at cost
of s22 per ton laid down, of
which "a is the transportation
charge. The. competition is with
Swedish iron, charcoal iron not being
made, we believe in England. Its use
there Is small and no great industry Ia
likely to spring up from the demand for
it. But 1t is strange to think that a crude
material such as pig iron can he
exported hence to England, tie
home OF cheap iron. 1t is posi-.
bic because of our cheap wood
and points future possibility with cheap
ore and coal. There is no good reason
why iron ore, which can be mined at
Cornwall, for instance, at Is cents per
ton, should sell on the cars for several
dollars. There is no national benefit de-
rived from giving the ore owner a
great profit upon the natural pro-
duct OF tie earth that good fortune
has given him or the original owner.
Once all minerals were owned by the
state, and why should the state now not
only give the citizen title to them but
give also protective duty upon them..

Free Raw Materials.

!. We have q report from Chicago that
Ne. A. ]. Drexel, Of Philadelphia, re-
osntly said to Secretary Fairchild, beside
whom he sat at banquet or other festal
occasion, that he thought that not only
wool but iron ore should be admitted
[ free Of duty. We consider this to be q
very sensible declaration, and one to be
naturally expected from man OF sense,
suoh as Mr.. Dvxel is reputed to be. We
hear It, however, with some misgiving as
TO It's correctness, because we know how
promo the most sensible men are to be gov.
erned by their prejudices and Mr.. Drexel
moves in a community that has always
spasnodically shuddered at the thought
or the suggestion Of the Importation OF
anything free of duty, and Mr.. Drexel Is
reported TO be part owner Of the Ledger
and a bosom friend of the benevolent
Childs and the Ledger shares the belief
OF the Philadelphian that nothing good
can come out OF anything imported free.
tits true that since the Mills bill has
been passed, the Ledger has said that it
had been freed of its most Objectionable
features, and IL seems to think that
1t is not so dangerous thing
after all. But still it is rather
much to expect from its ardent protec-
tion sentiment that 1t has come to believe
In free wool aud free ore. IL, however
Mr.. Drexel 50 believes, II Is safe to say
that brother Childs is at least on the
fence on the question and there is rea.
