Tinkering with the Tariff

Even Democrats sre beginning to see
that the one years trial oftue Mckinley

Gus that II would be dangerous NJ par

ring everything. The game is to Tin
ker'N-i. to knock out here and there
an stticle at time hut just here the
fun comes in.
Chairman Springer of the Ways aud
Means Committee wants to put coal on
the free list. That hits West Virginia,
and accordingly hits Senator German
and his friends. There will be bowling
and With cause With coal on the free
list there are mines in Nova Scott,
where eoo'ie labor can Ne employed
with whioh West Virginia would BE-
driven to close up nearly every mine in
the State
But, there is another feature which
may deter Springer and his friends Il
West Virginia is a close State, political
". Ry rcasoe Of the protective tariff
West Virginia for 1891, had almost
doubled her soal output over the pro
ductiou of 1889-tAat is covering the
period Of two years Ii is safe TO say
that aDw attempt to NEEDLE with West
Virginia will be met with defiance to the
party, for it Is already known fact on
the market that the output of 1902 will
double that Of 1891. What are the
miners going to say to Sp-inger's prspo-
sal.
Again it IS proposed to put cotton
ties on the free list Now. it is an es-
tablished fact that under The Mckinley
law steel ties are selling for less than
plain iroa ties were before the passage Of
the bill, and the money put into these
plants represents bread and butter to
many voters. Tinkeriug won't paw
there.
Next comes binder Irvine. II also

Numerous other instances could be
cited, but time will develop the particu-

pose to act. Whatever course they
take it will result in au injury to the

A Buriesque on the Ballot.

That Was strong language Of Judge
Peckha in his opinion dissenting from
the decision of a majority of the New
York Court of Appeals whereby hun
dreds of voters were DISTINGUISHED in

we're wrongly Endorsed. Said Judge
Peckham:
Utterly to disfranchise hundreds of in
noceht legal voters because the employ

made a mistake like the one 10 question
seems TO me to work a burlesque on the
ballot act and its construction, and tends
to bring the law itself into contempt
The cbrstruSi9R 6fIhis act BY the ma
jority of the court is, as | believe, Who'll
ly unnecessary, and, say i. with great
respect reasonable.

The Mckinley law continues not to
restrict trade as the free traders said it
would do. Our exports for the month
of November, 1890. were only $685.

Der. 1891. they we're SllO. 1eO.220.
The free traders tell us that if we do
not buy we cannot sell, but how much
do you suppose We imported in Novem-
be- while we exported that Sl1", I09, :
g20 it was& sG4. 5Ss,6l9, or jus:
S3S0 ,54i more than in November.
1890. These figures twice show the
free traders to be glsringly wrong. But
then they don't mind facts. In fact,
facts are in the free traders way lie
could get along much better without
them.

~ IA Year of General Prosperity.

There is tendency among a certain
glass Of Democrats in Maryland to exllt
Cleveland above all otheE Democrats; in
fact, to regard him as the only simon
pure sta'esmab OF the time. and To point
with pride to his administration. and
predict with enthusiasm what would be
the glorious effect on the country of his
reelection and the triumph of his eco
nomical policy. The same class are
wont to deride the protective policy Of
she Republicans, and to use their imagi-
nation in depicting the deplorabe results
of the Mckinley bill. We do not know
that any number of facts will convince
such persons that they are in error, but
they may prevent accessions to their
numbers.
In lSS5-the year in which Cleveland
was inaugurated-the imports which
passed through the custom house for
Baltimore were valued at Sl1 1913, sos.
and in 1883. the last year of Cevaland's
incumbency. they hai increased to SIP
COS, 627. ln lSS9-the first year Of
President Harrisou's incumbency they
were valued at $l2. 435, 315, while in
1S9l-the third year of the present ad-
m nistration-lbey have increased to
$1S,12F ,664
The exports of Baltimore exhibit a
more remarkable contrast In 1857
the first year of Mr. Cleveland's incum-
bency-they were valued at S34,74s.-
264. which had been increased in 1888
the last year Of his administration to
$45. III, 613, giving net gain Of Sl0.-
800. $40; while in 1S9l-the third year
of the Republican administration they
have' arisen to $79,217 .0S2 in value,
showing an increase of S34. 1903 469.
and this has taken place under the much
dreaded Mckinley bill 1t is related
that Mr. Lincoln once said. when certain
parties were Fostering him concerning
the drinking habits of General Grant,
cthat he wished somebody would make
present of the vhiskey which General
Grant drank to the other generals in me
; army 1T seems to us that Instead OF
going into hysteri,s over Ceveland's
free trade policy, it would be we'll for
the people of Maryland, to thank NJ ior
Mckinley for his remarkably successful
efforts to increase the foreign trade of
Baltimore; aud as prices of all coinmodi
ties in general use are just at present
phenomenaliy low. they might throw in
rider that whenever the tariff is t. BE-
t:nkered, he. in conjunction with he

prOcity policy, is the proper person 70
