THE amount of slather the Tribune
gets off every morning upon the assumed
effect of tariff reform upon wages is
perfectly amazing. There never was
much strength of mind evident in that
papers editorial utterings; on the tariff
issue, however, it's lucubrations are not
only the attenuated Cruel of idiocy, but
the tangled oppositions of inconsistency.
Yesterday it bristled with propositions
that knocked each other on the head.
Take one example: 1t declared that
every thing the American wage-worker
consumes or wears is cheaper in the
United States than in Europe. The
corollary to that proposition is simply
this: If such is the case reform Of the
tariff cannot effect American manufactur-
ers and producers. If we can sell cheaper
than Europe now, how is reduction of
the tariff schedule in any particular to
injuriously effect American wages :?
Come down out of that, or talk sense"
said James to the preacher who was
assailing his mothers memory. "I'll
nae cum doom, and I'll nae talk sense"
was the cogent reply of the sturdy di-
vine.

but, when a market for the fruit had

John Boyle O,ReiIly for Cleveland


The Boston Pilot, which, under the
editorship of John Boyle O'Reilly, is the
leading Irish-American paper in the
country, opposed Mr. Cleveland in 1884,
but is now strongly in favor OF his re-
election. In its last issue it thus speaks
of the President:
There is not sincere Democrat in the
country with whom principle is deeper
than personality, who does not profound
ly believe that Mr.. Cleveland is the best
man the Democratic party could nomin-
ate, and that he deserves the great place
for his wise, firm and magnanimous
course during the past four years.
The mistakes of the Democratic admin
istration have not been in the Presidents
mistakes. Some of the men he selected
for his Cabinet have hampered his work
and most gravely threatened the stability
OF the Democratic party. But these men
we're in truth more the choice of the
party itself than of the President.
Mr.. Cleveland will lead an undivided
national party to the polls. His oppo-
nents have not man large enough to
show against him, now that Blaine Is out
OF the field. We shall march onward to
q Democratic victory that must result in
such q Teaffirmation of Democratic loyalty
to principles as the fathers Of the Repub-
lie would approve and the future will:

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is as distinctly
on record in favor of tariff for revenue
with incidental protection as any of his
predecessors. He appeals to the labor
ing man as the advocate of free raw
material, thus stimulating manufactures,
OF free necessaries of life, and as the
champion of that just and righteous scale
of duties which will bring about stable
and prosperous condition Of cur manu-
tfaetasas. The attempt to becloud his
attitude has not succeeded, nor will il
succeed. The rot about free trade anG
the Democracy will be dismissed to the
lumber-room, where the stuff about pay
ing the rebel debt, assuming cotton
claims, and so on, has reposed since the
campaign of 1884. 1t is not so easy te
hoodwink the people as it used to be
They have cut their political eye-teeth

CHIEF ARTHUR.
Things Might Have Heen different
If His Advice Had Been Needed.

CLEVELAND, June 1O.-A reporter
called on Chief Arthur of the Locomo-
tive Engineers Brotherhood to-day and
informed him of the arrest of Hoge and
Murphy at Chicago, and asked him for a
statement of his views on the subject.
He said:
II am very sorry if any member of the
Brotherhood has done anything to
render him amenable to the law. If
any of the members have been guilty
of dishonorable conduct they must take
the consequence. The brotherhood will
never approve of the actions Of members
who will not keep within the law. Had
they followed my advice, things might
now be different"
When asked if he would express an
opinion regarding the secret circular
said to have been issued by Hoge, he
said he would express no opinion, and
did not think this proper time to dis
cuss the matter.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Executive
Committee of the National party issued
the following call this afternoon:
A National Convention of the Ameri.
can party will be held in Washington on
the 14th of August, 1888, for the purpose
OF nominating candidates for President
and Vice President, and for the transac-
ton of such other business as may prop
erly come before that body. Delegates,
not exceeding two from each Congress
sional District, each Territory and the
District of Columbia, and two from each
State at large, bearing credentials from
any American organization, association
club, order, or society, whose objects are
in accordance with the principles of the
American party, will be admitted to seats
in the Convention.
Chairman Sharp said to-day that in all
probability the platform to be adopted
will not differ essentially from that
adopted at Philadelphia last year, in all
its important features. The present sys-
tenn of tariff will no doubt be endorsed.
and the temperance question will likely
be touched upon.

The truth of the whole question in a
nutshell is that any scheme of tariff
taxes will always incidentally benefit
manufacturers. All the protection they
need Will always be secured them by the
Governments need for revenue. Free
trade has not the remotest show in the
United States, and really has but few
advocates. Were it not for partizan
reasons, the need of a reduced tariff
would as readily be admitted by the Re-
