Friday Morning, February q, 1890.
Tariff Reform and the Surplus.

1t is evident, from the altered tone of many
Republican newspapers that tariff reform
ideas are no longer confined TO the Demo
cratic party but are also spreading among
Republicans. Yielding to demand which
they could no longer ignore the Republicans
in Congress promised TO have tariff bill
ready by the 1st of February. The bill is
not ready and there are no signs that it will
soon be ready. 1t Is evident that in endeav-
oring to frame it the ways and means COM
mittee finds itself in strait. Every favored
monopoly and trust insists that its status
shall not be changed and that reduction, if
made, must be made elsewhere.
These concerns, too, have claims on the
Republican party, by reason of large contri-
buttons towards the election of Harrison and
promises of further aid. On the other hand
the people demand a reduction of the tariff
upon the necessaries of life. and manufactur
ers in various branches want free raw mater
ials to enable them to keep their factories
open. For instance, sixty wooden mills in
Pennsylvania have been closed for want of
gress. The iron manufacturers of Eastern
Pennsylvania want and must have free iron
ore or surrender to Western and Southern
competition and close their furnaces. Others
want free salt, free lumber, free tin, &c
Under Clevelands Democratic administra-
tion there was q large surplus in the treasury
and the burning question was, how shall we
dispose of it and prevent such an accumula-
ton of money not needed for an economical
ly administered government? The adoption
ofMr. Reeds code of rules in Congress has
opened the doors to the widest extrsva-
gance If not corruption. Senator Blair's ed
ucational scheme, if passed, willcall for $780,
100000. Millions more are demanded for
coast Notifications, building war vessels and
public buildings. A new pension bill will
probably be passed which will take untold
millions of dollars out of the treasury. In
fact there is likely to be a restoration of the
old-time profigacy, and instead of being con-
frontedwith q surplus, there is likely to be
deficiency in the treasury at Washington.
No wonder, therefore, that the ways and
means committee of the House hesitates to
recommend any reduction of the tariff, even
upon the poor mans clothing, food or medi-
cine. Truly they are in dilemma. If they
reduce the tariff those who benefit by it at
the expense of everybody else will take Of
fence. If they fail to do something that has,
at least, the promise of affording little relief
to the agricultural interests, the tide of tariff
reform will rise higher and higher until the
Republican party is swept aside.

ticket was elected in Salt Lake city, recently,

In country in which the females so largely
out-number the males, and many women are
condemned, in consequence, to q state Of sim
gle blessedness, this proceeding of Mollie
Corwin may be described, not to use strong
or expression, as somewhat grasping. Every
thing is not fair in love and war, and such
fascinating young ladies should be moderate
and give their less attractive sisters chance.
