PUBLIC OPINION.

HOLE PUNCHING AND ITS DIFFICULTIES.
lew York Tribune.
M Possibly it begins to occur to Mr..
Springer by this time that his hole
punching mode of reforming the tariff
will meet with some obstacles. Already
some Democratic papers are giving him
cruel enlightenment. His plan, it has
been understood, is to propose series OF
short bills, each cutting off or cutting
down the duties on some particular pro-
duct, such as wool, coal, iron ore, tin
plates OF cotton ties. Thus he would
divide the friends of Protection and SET
them against each other, so that gen.
eral and sweeping change would present
" become practicable. But now come
Democratic newspapers, and inform him
that he cannot poke holes as easily as he
expected.
For instance, they tell him that the
abolition of duties on wool must of ne
cessity he accompanied by removal OF
the compensatory duty on wooden goods
and some part of the protective duty
also. Instead of his short bill of two OF
three lines sweeping away all duties on
wool, he will have to devise and gel
through the House a complete revision
of the whole wool and woolens schedule
So he wants the duty on cotton ties abol-
ished, but he is informed that there
would be no reason or sense in making
an exception for the benefit of the con.
sumers of that particular form of iron
or steel hoops, and destroying the
symmetry. of the tariff as respects ore
and Ssg-frof; aud the finished products
Which means that, if he is going to gel
at cotton ties, he must revise the iron
and steel schedule throughout. he
cannot cut off duties on ore for the
peculiar enrichment of one or two con.
Germs that bring in ore from Cuba, and
to the injury of hundred of mines IN
certain Southern as well as Northern
States, unless he has some benefit to
offer to the consumers of finished
products of iron and steel.
