that his interests lay directly under his
own hand. By similar move we might
dodge the ugly silver issue; by advocating
such an amendment of the national con-
stitution as would fix the weight ana fin
ness of coins and secure fee coinage in
the organic law of the nation: and we
sh oHld forbid all issue of bills of credit or
paper money without referring the ques-
ion to the people. WHAT lively cam
paign we could have with these issues
squarely made in the Democratic plat
form.
At any rate the tariff must go. The
customhouse is, as Jas. B. Eads OF ietty
fame said, Disgrace to the intelligence
of the age.' And the less namby -pamby
we have in our treatment of such dis
grace the better.
AS foil, rather than as an objec ion to
this proposition, it might be urged that
all that Is necessary is that we should
specially instruct those we send to legls-
late for US as to the particular measures
we desired embodied in our laws. / am
aware that very much is to be gained in
this way; and have always held that De-
mecracy defaults every time it fails to so
instruct, but ever to be able to instruct
others means that the instructor must pos
sess knowledge equal, if not superior, to
the instructed. And the question is not
only how we shall succeed in having good
laws made but how shall we induce the
mass of voters to acquire and keep the
knowledge necessary to enable them to so
instruct their public servants? When we
delegate to representatives only those
questions in which municipal units and
political divis ions have a common inter-
est, and keep directly in our own hands
the rights of the individual which it is the
and secure. men will have the very strong
est of Incentives to acquire that knowledge
and they will always give due weight to
the admonition, External vigilance is the
price of liberty
This government has always been Re-
publican rather than DemOcratic-a gov
ernment by representatives, rather than
by the people-and now is the time to
take new departure and make it more
nearly what we so often boast of its being:
"a government by the people and for the
peoples" that is to say, more Democratic
and less Republican, though wou Id not
have those terms understood in a partisan
sense. FARMER.

Tariff Reform.

In last weeks REGISTER w. L. w. tells
second fiddle for the protectionists. They
are opposed, he says, to taxing so as to
raise more revenue than the government
needs, but are in favor of tariff tax for
raising the bulk of what it does need.
The difference between tariff reformers
and protectionists is, then, a difference
only in degree, not one Of principle, only
a difference of dollars aud cents. Those
who understand the tariff know that it
cannot be levied i'm any way without COM
pelling the tax payer to give more to in
dividuals than he does to the government.
They know that tariff was conceived by
robbers, for the purpose of robbing; and
hence, as Bill Springer has lately said, in
Ohio, "a tariff In any degree is only a
system of legaliZed robbery" We have
a very large, and fast increasing number,
of tariff reformers here, who, under the
lead of such men as Bill Springer and
Scott Wike, desire to reform the tariff out
of existence, The day before I read w /.
l.. WIS article an ex-member of Con-
gress had been explaining to me that bis
idea of taxation was: that the citizen
should always know just when, where,
and exactly how much he was required to
pay as taxes. This is just what the tariff
is designed to prevent. Its advocates as
sumo that our citizens are not patriotic
that they are not willing to support their
own government, and in order to raise
the necessary revenue we must steal ii
from them. Its high time to stop such
nonsense. The difference between tar
lift for revenue and incidentally ter protec-
tion. and tariff for protection and incl
dentally for revenue, Is the difference be-
tween tweedledum and tweedledee, and
the dear people are getting sick OF such
twaddle.
AS a general policy / would suggest
that your correspondent change his issues
little. In order to interest the citizen
more in the discharge of his public duty
we must have larger measures of local
self-government. We must not delegate
lition of the tariff and the internal revenue
system and apportion taxes among the
states in proportion to population, as the
constitution now provides; and then as a
state reform, have taxes apportioned
among the counties in proportion to pop
ulation, and then allow the people Of each
county to say whether land, or labor, or
both, should be subjects of taxation
whether they would have the single tax
or double tax.
In Illinois the revenue laws are glaring-
ly violated as illustrated in Scott Wilkes
speech in favor of the income tax deliver
ed in Congress last winter, but if the taxes
were apportioned among the counties in
proportion to population the dodging now
practiced would be stopped. At the same
time state and national lobbies would be
stopped, and the voter be made 20 feel

Talking of the tariff on eggs, and
showing how that tariff has reduced
the importation from ten million doz-
en- to five million dozen per annum,
the Salem Courant says:
In framing the new tariff schedule last
year, that commercial leak was plugged up
with a 5c-per-doz. duty plug, which, though
it does not fit the hole, has shut out nearly
ten millions of dozens and compelled the
foreigners TO contribute some quarter Of a
million dollars for the privilege of selling in
our markets.
Will you tell us, then, the benefit of
the egg tariff to the farmer? If the
foreigner pays, as you say, five cents a
dozen "for the privilege of selling in
our markets." then of course the
market price here is just the same rs
it was prior to the enactment of the
Mckinley bill: for if the tariff raises
the price of eggs for the home farmer,
the foreign farmer who brings his eggs
here gets also the benefit of that raise
He can afford to pay tariff if the
price of his eggs is raised by that tar
iff, for he makes the consumer pay, in
the end-just as is the case with every
other importation on which q tariff is
levied and paid. But, as protec-
ZIONIST, it won't do for you to admit
that high tariff raises prices, for it
has been your cry-indeed, in the same
issue of your paper from which the
above is taken, you insist-that, by
reason of the competition that Protec-
tion induces, the price of the article
protected is cheapened. Or, do you
make an exception of eggs, wherewith
to tickle the farmer?

How are the mighty fallen! Elec-
tions were held last week in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York, Massachu-
setts, and Iowa-all claimed by the
Republicans. before the votes were
counted. Everybody recognized Penn
sylvania as rock-ribbed and ancient
in her Republicanism, while Ohio in a
national election has not given a
Democratic majority for thirty years,
and has always gone Republican on a
fall vote. Iowa, New York and Mass
achusetts were the "dou btful" States.
Democracy carried all three last week
Yet some Republican neighbors put
roosters in token of victory! What
would one think of the sanity of an
editor who would roosterize the car
