list WHAT Is NEEDED.

The New York Tri1uUe is whistling
desperately to keep its courage up over
the possible passage of the Mills tariff
bill. and pretend5 that all the protection
lists and war tariff m%onopOlists desire is a
thorough discussion of the measure. 1t
actually has the audacity to say:
"Whatever the degree of possibility
NAV be as regards the passage OF Mr..
Mills's tariff bill, he should understand
at once that he can never get it far on its
wav into the siatute-bOOks without n full
and ADEQUATE consideration of II in the
epen view Of the country. This dark
lantern.work' has ended now, and Mr..
Mills must abandon the secretive methods
be has been employing. This bill o
edly changes the character of our revenue
laws. 1t introduces a new system. The
theory of protection is expressly re-
nounced and so radical a measure can
not be permitted to run through Con
rress without such an examination as
will make its terms and purposes cleart to
10 the public. MI Mills and his colleagues
must get ready 10 answer questions.
The TrBune can deceive no one with
its assurance, nor can il hope to accom-
plish anything by what Major Wei
lington DeBoots would characterize as
" Bounce" If there is anything in the
world that the Republicans have really
cause to fear it is a clear understanding
by the people of The iniquities Of the
present tariff. The burdens imposed
! thereby have always either been most
carefully concealed from the long-suf-
fering public, or when attention was di.
rected to them, it has always been al
tempted TO be diverted by d~emagogic
criers about competition with the
pauper labor of Europe low tariff
means low wages and other false, but
taking, platitudes of like character.
Ii was this species of tactics that elect
ed Garfield in 1880, and it was only that
the PEOPLE bad, in the intervening years,
become more enlightened, that defeated
Blaine and elected Cleveland in 1884.
The more, then, the subject OF the present
protective tariff ia considered and un-
derstood, the more the people will be-
come impressed with the enormity Of its
injustice, and the examination which Will
make the terms and purposes of the Mills
bill clear TO the public, that the Tribune
processes TO desire, is the very point that
the Republicans have most to dread
That the discussion of the measure before
