THE TARIFF BILL.

As far as we can hear from reports oui
of the secret recesses of the Ways and
Means Committee the proposed tariff bill
will put on the free list lutte, hemp,
fax. wool. lumber, salt, and building
stone. There Is long list Of other ar
ticles. but these are the most important
The reduction on pig-iron Is very
slight. 1t will simply be drop from
a6.72 10 So per ton. A reduction OF 20
per cent. will be made on plate glass
and 80 Per cent on common window
glass. Earthenware will be reduced
about l2i per cent. I'D eaIorem
The most important schedule In the
bill is the wool schedule. The trainers OF
the bill, ii Is understood, believe that in
the event the bill becomes a law wool
manufacturers will be placed upon a
basis of prosperity which they have not
and do not enjoy under the present tariff
II ia claimed that the bill if passed as
drawn will give to the manufacturer OF
worsted and wooden goods at least
twenty per cent. All oaIorem more protec
ton on their products than they now
have. 1t will practically, too, open up the
markets of the world to them.
But the thing to do in that connection
Is to protect the consumer az well as the
manufacturer, and let him have fair
chance Mt the market rs we'll as the mar
ufacturer. II cannot he denied by the
most bloated Protectionist that free raw
materials benefit the manufacturer, but at
the same time let us lower the import

COQUErRY.

The declining capacity Of the big Re-
publican leaders is source Of amuse-
ment TO the ribald Democrats.
No sooner does country editor nomi-
nate Sheridan or Depew than the two
proposed Presidents turn on the coquetry
that would fit village belle, and say,
with coy modesty "Oh, now, excuse me (;
cannot be persuaded" And all the
time the recipient OF the compliment
actually thinks, in the vanity of very
infnitessimal hero, that nc could be
nominated. Vanity" saith the phil
osopher, lis a source of contentment that
wise Providence hath put in the hearts
of men to console them for the innate
foolishness of themselves
Vanity leads hundreds Of little dema-
gogues to think that they could be Con
eressmen, Senators, Ministers, or Presi.
dent. They die on the voiceless
shores of those ever noisy waves where
silly oratory and temporary sensation de
lude certain sorts OF men.
The politics of America happily turns
the representative power over every two
years, or else the clowns would mock the
whole fabric of our institutions into a
system of deception.
Here we have candidates for the presi-
dency pretending that they do not want
the office, and, beginning with Mr. Blaine,
the men nominated by newspapers hasten
to say that they are not candidates.
The Republicans can spare themselves
the trouble of so much coquetry, because
there is not the ghost OF chance for
electing a Republican President unless
the Democratic party goes clean daft
and avoids the popular issue.

NATIONAL POLITICS.

The presidential year must not be
treated in political manGuvering in the
same manner as he congressional or the
gubnatorial or the legislative elections
are treated. We should be quick TO place
the Virginia Democracy in line with the
ideas that are expected to be the motive
elements for the whole party from Can
ada TO Mexico Thereby we get the sup
port of all the line instead OF rely
ing on the local questions only. We
do not wish to hear anything Of
the Blair bill which was doomed
to failure 10y the time it was conceived, or
OF the debt question which is badly man
aged whenever put before the Legisla-
lure, or of the nonsensical claim that
Virginia is for the nonstrosity of pro-
tective tariff to make people pay twice
as much for what they eat and wear as
people in other countries do, and all to
protect American labor" The Pro-
tectionsts would grind the American
laborer to powder and manufacture the
same into a fertilizer if they could make
any more profit out of the thing.
The Trust Combine raises the price
in the market, but it never was known TO
