THIS IS TRUE.
Tarlnfor Revenue only is Equivalent to
Free Trade.

TnFtn for Revenue Only Is Equlfnlent 10
Free Trade.
AS matter OF theory, a tariff for rev.
enue only is not synonymous with alb
solute free trade, inasmuch as absolute
FREQ trade excludes the idea OF any sort
OF tariff on foreign impostations, while
atarilf for revenue only not only per
mtts, but requires, the leyying OF i'm
port duties. However, while the two
are not synonymous in theory, they
may be, in effect, equivalents, so fur as
the nurture OF American industries or
the fostering OF American labor in conf
petition with the industries and the
labor OF foreign lands may be concerned.
A tariff for revenue only takes no ac-
count Of this competition. 1t makes no
provisions for the difference be-
tween two conflicting conditions-one at
home and the other abroad. On the
contrary, tariff for protection recog-
nizes these opposing and unequal con-
ditions; and, as Mr.. Randall expresses
it, mo two industrial systems, side by
side, with labor i'll one receiving double
the wages OF labor in the other, could
long exist under free trade between
them" The schedule Of duties under q
tritF for revenue only may be based
upon SO low grade that, while bring
ing to the government large revenue,
it woul depress the rates OF American
wages to a ruinous point, destroy the
facilities for production, and drive in:
vested capital, for lack OF profit, out OF
domestic industries, thereby surrender
ing the American market to the COM
peting products OF cheap foreign labor
which would consequently pour into
all American ports.
it is this inequality Of conditions, at-
fecting both labor and capital, that
renders necessary to America a tariff
for protection as contra-distinguished
from tariff for revenue only; and, in
asmuch as the latter sort OF tariff eau
not equalize those conditions, it is ap-
parent that u tariff for revenue only is
equivalent in effect, II not synonymous
in theory, to absolute free trade. AT
any rate, tho laborer, seeking stand-
ard of living wages, and the manuiac-
turer, looking for safe and profitable
luNeSIIueuls uCGN NV pNVSG A4 hSlSSNsA6
both us equally hostile to their own in
terest and to the country|s growth.
The protectionist Democrats and the
tariff ''reform," or taritf-for-reyenue-
only Democrats who voted for Cleye-
land in 1898, are not "all TO be indis.,
tinguishably classed as free.traders,"
for they do not, in fact, agree in either
principle or policy. They are wide
apart in their convictions. But never
theless they alike voted for free trade
when they supported the Democratic
Presidential candidate last year. They
voted for free trade because they fol-
lowed and sustained a leader who, de-
spite his alleged courage, was governed
by the free trade element OF his party,
and who, ii elected, would have put
that element in control Of his admins
tration. The bottom fact is that the
majority OF the Democratic voters are
hostile to tariff for protection. This
is tho opinion, at least. of one Kentcky
Democrat who is also protecrionist.-

the States are strong enough to
place free silver plank in the
party platform. The honest money
flies on the wheel are carried round
with It, and the Democratic party
stands committed as a whole to free
coinage as a principle. On the other
hand, the Republican party stands for
honest money, as it always has, and
against free coinage. Honest money
and protection to American industries
will be the Republican cry next year.
1t has won before and it will win again.

The New Bridge Across the Potomac
 at Washington.

at Washington.
 Many New Haven old soldiers of the late war will be interested in the following from Harper's Weekly:
 In the proposed new Arlington suspen- sion bridge at Washington, the clear height above the water rat.mld-channel is to be 105 feet, the river span to be 100 feet, and the two shore spans 652 feet each. The ap- breaches at each end will be on masonry, arched viaducts and entertainments of earth. Suspension cables of steel will pass over two granite towers, each about 210 feet high, pierced with arched open ings for roadways, and be anchored into masses of masonry at the outer end of each approach. The grades on the central span will be 3 feet per 100; on the shore spans, 35 feet per 100; and on the ap- proaches,4 4 feet per 100. The extreme width of the bridge will be about 54 feet, with a roadway for vehicles 34 feet wide in the clear, and two sidewalks for pedes- trians, 8 feet each in width. Lateral vibra- tion is to be prevented by a system of ties extending out from the sides of the towers and vertical vibration by means of the four trusses. The live load that such bridge could sustain would be 70 pounds to the square foot Tho clear height of 105 feet above water level will allow the largest four-masted schooners to reach Georgetown by lowering their topmasts. It is at rare intervals that vessel of this class appears in this harbor, and the great majority of vessels that sail these waters can pass under the bridge without inconvenience. The span of 1 100 feet practically leaves the full width of the river unobstructed both to navigation and to the free flow of the wa ters of the Potomac
