AN arithmetician has been at work
upon the scheme to transport the surplus
Negro population of the South to Africa
He places the colored population at
100000, the annual increase at 2,000,-
900, and calculates that it would take a
fleet of 1000 vessels carrying 200 pass
engers each to transport the increase
each year to Africa. Another fleet of
5000 vessels making the trip once year
for eight years, might, he thinks, solve
the race question.

1870 gold was at a premium in the Uni
ted States. During these years nearly
10000 miles of railway were construct
ed, and to import English rail and pay
for it with gold bought at large premi-
um would have been impossible. A very
large proportion of the railway enter
prises would of necessity have been
abandoned if the export of gold to pay for
the rails had been the condition prece-
dent to their construction. But the man
ufacture of steel rails at home gave an
immense stimulus to business. Tens of
thousands of men were paid good wag
es, and great investments and great en-
richments followed the line of the new
road and opened to the American peo
pie large fields for enterprise not hereto
fore accessible.

Don't-don't-don't be afraid:
Tariff reform is not free trade.

But now il appears that that face was
a mask, too, and that tariff reform is
free trade. Roger Q. Mills the chairman
of the last Democratic Ways and Means
Committee, is on record as rhetOrically
hoping that this country would some
day carry out the ideals, "free land,
free labor and free trade" Mr.. Cleve-
land not only told the Boston boy who
said he was little free trader that he
hoped the said little free trader would
live to be very old one, but he belongs
to the Reform Club in this city, the sue
cessor of the old Free Trade Club, and
a more active free trade club than its
predecessor ever was. And now his old
Postmaster General, later on his Secreta-
ry of the Interior, William F. Villas, who
has heretofore been known as a revenue
reformer, is said to have come out fiat
footed for free trade in his speech at the
secret convention of the Wisconsin Tariff
Reform League last Thursday night.
Plainly the Democratic drift is toward
free trade, and the party is generally one
stage ahead of it's honest avowals. 1t is
free trade party now.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

INCIDENTAL PROTECTION, THEN TARIFF
REFORM, THEN FREE TRADE.
New York Press.
1t is Interesting to note the steps in
the gradual progress of the Democratic
leaders from their position of 1884 in
favor of "incidental protection" to an
avowed advocacy cf free trade. When
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated for PreSi-
dent in 1884, his views on the tariff
question were an unknown quantity.
Just once during that campaign, dis
patch to the Eoeniug Post let out what
proved four years later to be the case,
that Cleveland stood fairly abreast of
Carlisle and Morrison for tariff reform;
but the announcement attracted no at
tention, and being without experience
in national affairs, Mr. Cleveland was
not supposed to have any views. But
the orators of the Democratic national
campaign repeatedly pledged the party
on the stump to respect the incidental
protection plank of its platform, and but
for that pledge Mr.. Cleveland would
never have been President of the United
States.
In December, 1887, in his third annual
message he proceeded to range himself
''fairly abreast of Carlisle and Morrison"
The ''incidental protection" mask was
thrown off, and the Democratic party
said of tariff reform, This is our real
face" and sang its famous campaign
cOuplet:
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1890-01-09

Mr. Gladstone proceeds to argue the
subject upon priori grounds. The gist
Of his condemnation of protection is
contained in the following:
The argument of the free trader. is
that the legislator ought never to inter
fere, or only to interfere so far as impe-
rative fiscal necessity may require it,
with this natural law of distribution
All interference with it by Govern
ment in order to encourage some dearer
method of protection at home, in prefer
encs to cheaper method of production
abroad, may fairly be termed artificial.
And every such interference means SIM
ply diminution of the National wealth.
If region A grows corn at home for so
shillings with which region B can sup
ply it at 40, and region b manufactures
cloth at 20 shiIlings with which region
A can supply it at IS, the National
wealth of each is diminished by the 10
and the shillings respectively. And
the capitalists and laborers of each of
these countries have so much the less to
divide in their respective shares in that
competition between capital and labor
which determines the distribution be-
tween them of the price brought in the
market by commodities. In my view,
and l may say for my countrymen. in
our view, protection, however dignified
by the source from which it proceeds, is
essentially an invitation to waste, pro-
mulgated with the authority of law.

He then argues that increase of wages
under protection must be at the expense
of the community and says:
II urge, then, that all protection is
morally as well as economically bad.
This is a very different thing from say
ing that all Protectionists are bad
Many of them, without doubt, are good
nay, excellent, as were in this coun-
try many of the supporters Of the Corn
law. 1t is Of the tendencies Of system
that l speak which operates variously,
upon most men unconsciously, upon some
men not at all; and surely that system
cannot be good which makes an individ-
ual or set of individuals live on the
resources Of the community and caused
him relatively to diminish that store,
which duty to his fellow citizens and to
their equal rights should teach him by
his contributions to augment. The
habit of mind thus engendered is not
such as altogether BELTS free country
or harmonizes with an independent char
acter And the more the system of pro-
lection is discussed and contested, the
more those whom it favors are driven to
struggle for its maintenance, the further
they must insensibly deviate from the
law of equal rights, and, perhaps, even
from the tone of genuine personal indie
pendence."
