cratic press to deny the sincerity of that
argument by claiming tnat in the work of
reducing the revenue it is wrong to repeal a
duty which yields revenue to the Govern
ment. The tax will not be thrown away,
but will, as is right, be left in the peoples
pocket 1t is fair example of the relief of
the people from unnecessary taxation that
the total duty on the peoples sugar by the
late tariff was 31fc per pound; by the Mills
bill 2.Sc; all of which was removed by the
Mckinley bill except half cent per pound.
The DISPATCH during the consideration
of the Mckinley bill freely expressed its
belief that the duty of half cent on refined
sugars was more than necessary for the pro-
lection of refners. But the Democratic
Misrepresentation on this point is illustrated
by the assertion of the Herald that it is en-
acted in the stead of the revenue duty on
raw sugars. The new duty does not take
the place of the old duty on raw sugars but
it takes the place of the difference between
the duties which the refners formerly had
to pay on their raw sugars and the duties on
refined sugars BY which they were protected.
a tcot Va tu6 bCmOCAatAO sAuSSAAsy
in attacking this duty is to be found in the
comparison of the protection which it affords
with that given by the margin between the
duties on raw and refined sugars, both in
the old tariff and in the Mills bill. By such
a comparison we find that the protective
margin in the old tariff on ref ned sugar was
from to 1T cents; in the Mills bill from
6-1O to IL cents, and by the new tariff II
cent per pound.
The sugar schedule of the Mckinley bill
was not all that The DISPATCH advocated;
but both in the way of removing unnecessary
taxation and Of lessening undeserved pro-
lection it is a great Improvement on the
the present tariff and on the Democratic
policy as exemplifed in the Mills bill. By
attacking a measure with such character
istics, the free trade press give the lie to
their own professions of desiring to take the
taxes of from articles of universal con-
SUMPTION.

on the part of Messrs. Gould and Rocka-
feller, as the monetary events to which Mr..
Depew referred, his assertion that they are
the real rulers, becomes charged with weighty
reflections; and the common people may we'll
ponder the statement that such rulership Is
altogether too much on the Napoleonic order
to leave our democracy an existence in
anything they form.
Critics Of corporate abuses have been
charged with demagogic appeals to preju-
dice in asserting that we are under the rule
of the money kings; but Mr.. Depew's asser-
tion In connection with the rise of the Could
Rockefeller financial empire, is an unwitting
statement TO the same effect, that lends new
force 20 the inquiry whether the creation of
such corporate monarchies can be permitted
with any respect for the preservation Of Re-
publican institutions.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
HARRISBURG, November 25.-The annual
report of Secretary of the Commonwealth
Stone says: THE receipt examination, COM
putation and compilation Of election returns
involve a vast amount OF labor and consume
much time. This labor is much greater than it
need be, growing out of the fact that the blanks
used in the different counties are not uniform
and there is surprising lack of care and cor
rectness in preparing and making out the re-
turns sent to this department. To illustrate. at
the last general election the returns of all the
counties in the State but seven were found in
correct in some particulars and had to be re-
turned for correction. To insure uniformity
and to avoid SO far as possible these errors. 1
suggest that authority should be conferred
upon the Secretary of the Commonwealth to
prepare uniform blanks for election returns of
all State elections and of all judicial and county
officers required to be commissioned and that
these blanks be furnished to the several
counties"
The number of commissions of all kinds
issued since December Is. 1888, was 43l4 OF
this number 2, ,054 were to Justices of the peace;
903 to notaries public and As to commissioners
Of deeds. There will be issued during the next
month AL commissions to the judges and
county officers elected at the general election
held November 4, 1890.
The number of death warrants issued was l3

GILMORE,s CONCERTS.
Two Great Musical Treats on Thanksgiving
Day Under Jr. o. U. A. NJ. Auspices.

Two Great Musical Treats on Thanksgiving
Day Under Jr. o. U. A. NJ. Auspices.
There is not the slightest chance of the only
Gilmore and his great band disappointing their
numerous admirers on Thanksgiving Day, and
the two concerts in Old City Hall promise to be
among the prime attractions of the holiday.
For this musical treat Pittsburgers are indebted
to the enterprise of Acme Council No. 2l9, Jr.
o. U. A. NJ. under whose auspices the concerts
are to be given. That there will be Drumming
houses at both performances is certain, seeing
that the friends of the Jr o. U. A. NJ and Gill
more himself will be out in force. In addition
to the magnificent band of which he is the
leader, Gilmore will present two singers of ma
tional reputation The prma donna, Miss Ida
Klein is spoken of as a very rich and sweet
voiced soprano from the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York, where only the best of
Singers are utilized. The basso, Mr.. Edward
OMahony, was for number of seasons with
the Carl Rosa Opera Company in England, and
has sung with Mr.. Gilmore in New York enough
to become great favorite there. The pro-
grammes are richly varied, that for the afternoon
including such excellent numbers as the over
ture to Wagner's "Rienzi," a grand selection
from Meyerbeer's operas, the American Patrol,
and some exquisite solos for Miss Klien and
also brilliant one including the overture to
Wagner's "Tannhauser," plumber of operatic
selections. and the grand popular fantaisie
"ROse, Shamrock and Thistle" introducing
the popular melodies of England. ireland and
Scotland Miss Klein will sing among other
things. the jewel scene from Gounod's
Faust"

THE REAL RULERS.

1t is instructive 10 find in an editorial
comment on Mr.. Depew's speech at the New
York Chamber of Commerce BANQUET. the
statement: According TO Mr.. Depew the
kings of finance are the real rulers of the
world" This idea was brough ht out in con-
nection with the assertion that the recent
monetary troubles were overcome and the
panic averted without the aid of cabinets
or secretaries" In this fact Mr.. Depew
found the best guarantee of the brotherhood
of nations and the promotion of universal
peace.
There is much truth and force in this
view; but unfortunately the event from
which MIR. Depew drew his roseate figure of
speech, inevitably presents the kings of
finance in entirely another view. We have
heard good deal lately of "Napoleon's of
Finance" and it is pertinent in connection
with that and Mr.. Depew's comparison to
remember that the Napoleon who provoked
the laughter of Europe by fasco in the at
tempt to seize the absolute power in France,
by historical coup d'etat in
which force and chicanery were
equally prominent. We have enjoyed
the joke Of laughing at our Napoleons of
the stock market who came to grief even
more hopelessly than the nephew of his
uncle did at Strasburg or Boulogne; and we
can now complete the parallel by contem-
plating with sobered thoughts the success
Of more willy Napoleons to whose rulership
Mr. Depew attests, and who have gained
an overpowering prominence by a career of
alternate deception and defiance OF law
which indicates their full right to the Ma
poleonic title.
il is certainly a matter for solid reflection
when we find the leaders Of finance who
share the rulership Of the world, and who
have gained that power by the thinly dis
guised roDberies of stock manipulation and
the persistent iliegality Of favoritism in
railway rates, pursuing the Napoleonic
policy By attacking fresh corporate realms,
bringing them to the verge of ruin and then an
nexing them to their financial empire. With
such demonstration of financial rulership

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 96. 1880
TIE ToRY PROMISES.

The Queens speech, at the opening of
Parliament, outlines an Irish policy which
indicates that Salisbury is tentatively con-
templating the possibility of repeating the
famous acts OF Peel and Disraeli in stealing
the Liberals policy.
The Queens speech foreshadows a meas
ure 'for augmentiDg the number of owners
engaged in the actual cultivation OF land"
1o- facilitating the transaction in Scotland
and Ireland OF the more important stages of
private legislation affecting those coun-
tries" and for ''the enactment of the reform
system Of county government in ireland
analogous to that put in operation in Great
Britain" These expressions give a very
wide latitude as to the actual measures
which may be introduced; but they GER
.siuly look in the direction of reformed
land system and the establishment of local
selEgovernment. They DO not reach the
full measure of home rule; but thev make
an approach TO it, which, the Tory ministry
evidently hopes, may prove sop to the
popular opinion so strongly setting in that
direction.
There are two vital obstacles to the prac-
teal success of this policy. The first is that
Salisbury is neither Peel nor Disraeli. He
may be a more conscientious and consistent
man; but he is destitute of that brilliant
versatility which enables a statesman to
throw overheard his convictions and swal-
low his record in order to steal his op-
ponents thunder. The second is that half
measures never succeed. When Peel re-
pealed the corn laws and Disraeli brought
in the reform bill, both took the entire
dose. The present premier is trying to get
of With partial application of the Liberal
policy. That is no doubt all that he can
get hls supporters to swallow; but it will
not serve his purpose by being accepted as
q substitute for home rule.
Finally the difference between the prom
lseS o. the Salisbury government and its
per ormance in the shape of measures
actually passed is already characteristic
OF the present Tory ministry. The promises
throw sop to the popular demand; but they
viii rot be taken as worth discussing at
length, until they take the form of actual
