No one pretends that protection as the chief
object and revenue an incident-began till 1916.
It was not in full force till 1928. 1t only en-
dured fourteen years until 1880, when the
Clay compromise tariff undermined it. In
1912 came again protection for projections
sake which existed till 1916, when and on
ward till 1861 was a Democratic tariff Since
1861 there has been Republican protective
tariff. Mr.. Mills bill continues in force the
protective system with no great abatement;
but, if it did not, the ''most part of the Re-
publican averment can, at the most embrace
only forty-five years, while moderate or
Democratic tariff continued for period of
fifty-four years. A Democratic tariff plan
was in operation from 1883 to 1916. from 1880
to 1912 and from 1886 to lS6l,-N 7. Star.

Congressional Conventions.

1t has been proposed that delegates to the
congressional conventions be chosen at the
primaries to select delegates to the state con-
vention. The proposition has been discussed
for ten days or two weeks past, but was only
publicly announced on Monday last, when II
was stated in the Baltimore Sun that Cover
nor jackson favored such proposition. 1t
is to be regretted that the Governors reasons
for such a radical change from customary
party usage were not given. Heretofore
Presidential and Congressional primaries have
been held separately, the former in June or
July, and the latter in September or October
What causes exist for change, now, are not
publicly known, and unless some valid reasons
are advanced former customs should be ad-
hered to. We can see no benefit to accrue to
the party by holding both primaries at the
same time. On the contrary there are good
reasons why they should be separated In
congressional contests local and personal
matters usually play an important part, ana
for this reason alone they should be held sep
arate from the presidential primaries. Further,
no advantage to the party can result from
nominations six months in advance OF the
election, and great disadvantage must result
to the nominees. The people, furthermore,
have given no attention to the selection OF
congressional nominees, and the intervening
time before the presidential primaries must
be held is entirely too short for proper con-
sideration of the merits, claims, and fitness
of aspirants 1t has been usual in Maryland
to elect congressman for a second term, or
at least give him denomination, and fire.
quently for third, and fourth. Two OF the
members have had no opportunity to make
record. Although their terms began in
March, 1887, they have actually been in Con-
gress but five months, considerable part of
which time passed before full organization
was completed and in preparing for work.
These gentlemen have had no opportunity to
make record, and it would be unjust to force
them to go back to their people and ask for
an endorsement, when there is but little to
endorse.
Three Democrats are each serving second
term, and may want to be candidates for re-
election. Ifso, the calling of primaries and
holding of conventions while they are engaged
at Washington and cannot leave, looks like
an attempted snap judgment upon them
The State Central Committee, when it meets
next week, should follow party usage, and fix
the dates for the congressional conventions in
September next, and leave the matter of pri-
maries and local conventions to local party
authorities

FACTS FOR woRKMEN.
From he Chicaqo Tribune (Rep.)

FROM the CHtcdg0 1TtUute tIteP'J
The abominably false pretense that the ex-
listing tariff is necessary to secure high wages
for American workmen is exposed by the fact
that the rate of duty on nearly any import
that can be mentioned is twice the amount
paid labor for the production Of like article
in this country. Exceptions may be found to
this rule, but the rule itself cannot be denied.
Thus while it is pretended that the present
high monopoly tariff only covers the margin
between wages here and abroad the truth is
that the tariff rates on almost any protected
article will average more than twice the total
wages paid American labor for the manRfac-
ture Of like article here. The following
statement of the labor cost of certain selected
articles is taken from the report for 1886 of
Carroll d. Wright, United States Commits
sioner of Labor, and to make the suggested
comparison plain the Tribune adds to the
Commissioners exhibit the rate of duty on
the manufactures specified:

Average per cent.
for thirty Yenrs.

If labor is only paid 20 per cent. Of the
value of the goods produced, by what pretense
can it be made to appear that a tariff of 464
per cent. must be levied on competing imports
to maintain American wages? Clearly tariff
averaging 20 per cent.--less than one halfthe
present scale-would cover not only any
difference between American and European
wages but the entire cost of the manufac-
lures produced here. In the face of these
facts it requires brazen audacity or stupid ig
norance for any man to claim that tariff
averaging As per cent.-60 per cent on the
necessaries bought by the unprotected farm
ers-must be maintained to protect labor.
