CHIPS FROM THE TARIFF DEBATE.

The joint debate between White and Estee
is a valuable contribution to the campaign
Of education. It may be said that each
debater has advanced the most plausible
argument that could be advanced on his
side. Mr.. White has been under the dis
advantage Of having TO reconcile Demo-
cratic platform which declares protective
duties unconstitutional with Democratic
policy of incidental protection. The DEM
oeratic party, he said, did not propose to
make wines free. Why this disclaimer?
There are other articles on which revenue
could be raised which would not involve
the constitutional error of protection TO
home industries.
MI White is reported as saying: 1.-THE
Republicans want a tariff for surplus;
the Democrats want one merely to carry Oh
the business Of the country" Tie McKin-
ley tariff does not produce a surplus, nor
was il intended TO. 1t increases duties on
competitive goods, but ii puts non-competi-
tive foreign products OIL the free list. The
average Of duties Cd all imports is lower
than under the old tariff. About one-half
our imports come in free.
Again Mr.. White asks il the purpose of
the Mckinley tariff was not to enrich man
ufacturers only. OF course hlr. White
would not assert that such was the sole
purpose Of the Mckinley tariff, as statistics
show that labor gets a good share Of the
=. benefit
Mr.. White Is also reported as saying that
wages were high because market condi-
tions made them so and not because of the
Mckinley tariff" If Mr.. White win look a
little deeper into the question he will find
that it is the Mckinley tariff which creates
the market conditions which make wages
high. If the tariff should be reduced to a
revenue standard the conditions would be
changed and wages would not be nigh.
What manufacturing We might continue 20
do would be done in competition with coun-
tries where labor is 30 per cent cheaper
than in this country. How can wages re-
main high while our manufacturers are
making goods for the market which Europe
and Asia enter free?
In Mr. Estee's speech there is concln-
sion that Mr.. White cannot argue away.

200 TO L.

AT the present time 200 favorable replies
nave been received by the Traffic Assoeia-
ton TO their pleoge and one non-committal
explanatory letter. The latter was from L.
ID. Van Schaiek, candidate for Senator from
the Twenty-frst District on the Kelly
Crimmins ticket Whether the other Kelly
Crimmins candidates have sent In replies is
not expressly stated. but If they have their
replies are favorable. OF course there are
men who do not consider pledges given in
conflict with their party platform binding
There are others who do not much care
what pledge they take so that 1t brings
them votes. But an organization like the
Traffic Association can make things very
unpleasant for candidates who secure the
support of the association by making
pledges and fail when elected to keep tie
pledge. The Traffic Association will be
put back in its work two years by the
failure of the measures 1t will put before
the Legislature.

taxation must be discovered as a substitute
1t is notorious that the landowners do not
bear their fair share Of taxation, and espe-
cially those who own the land in cities.
The unearned Increment of ground rents,
through population increasing, offers an
equitable basis for fresh sources of rev.
enue and public opinion has long been ripe
for such change. There are thousands of
wealthy men wbo as matters stand, escape
their just share of burdens. 1t does not
follow that farmers would suffer. Most of
them rent their farms and could not afford
to pay more. One good effect OF taxing the
landowners on hlgh scale would be to
compel them to break up large estates to
which they are prone to cling for the sake
of territorial and political influence The
evil of large estates in small country is

of our citizens do not seem 10 know when
they are nursing viper into life. There
is, however. NOT much danger with the Post,
for 1t has little life about it. 1t can suck
up some of the money taken from the pub
lie In the way Of excessive freights ana
fares for its support. 1t seems, however,
to be the organ of Mr.. Stanford, for he has
just put forth one of his specious arguments
to show that San Francisco does not require
another railroad; that we had better con-
tinue to contribute our wealth to enrich
himself and associates. The Post is an ex-
ampler of the men it serves, Stanford and
Huntington, aided by Crimmins and Kelly
Is 1t not singular that these railroad men
have to pick up such aids upon whom to
expend their money as the Post, Crimmins
and Kelly?

FREE TRADE PROPHETS.

The Sheffield England Telegraph is
who predicted that the Mckinley tariff
would DE found so suicidal that free trade
would come with q crash. The Telegraph
waited patiently for the crash for a couple
of years, but saw no signs of it. Perceiv-
ing only the serenest light in the quarter
of the horizon from which the crash was
expected. the Telegraph concludes that Mr..
Mundella is q false prophet. Then the
Telegraph talks little on its own account,
and this is what it says:
The Mckinley act has not failed. 1t has not
destroyed American industries, but helped some
and brought others into existence. IL has not
reduced the wages Of the working classes, but
increased them. But, most deadly effect OF all
for US, Tie Mckinley act has NOT deprived the
United States OF the power OF doing an export
trade In manufactures. as We were assured 1t
would. and the reciprocity clauses Of that act
are effecting deep Injury on our rade with other
markets, even with our own colonies. These
things patent facts there is not the slightest
ground for the superstition that II We pursue our
present policy of laissez-faire matters will right
themselves IN our favor. ne result Of our for
eign trade continuing its present downward
course for the next few years we find IL impossi-
bic TO contemplate with equanmity. aud there
is nothing premature in the question which we
ask Mr.. Mundella. and not him alone, but all
who are in any measure capable OF controlling
events: What are you going 10 do?
There seems, however. to be some people
in the United States who think that the
Mckinley tariff is fraud and reciprocity a
faiiure
