A COMMON MISSTATEMENT,

A specimen of the free trade arguments
in vogue at present is afforded by the fol-
lowing assertion of the Philadelphia Times
in opening one of its 'short tariff chats"
"The Mckinley tariff increased tariff taxes
on the products of nearly all our protected
industries.
The Times ought to know better; but
We will charitably suppose that it was
through ignorance, and refer it to the
authority from which it can correct its
mistake. If it will take the pamphlet
prepared by John NJ. Carson, and issued
by the Government printing Office, which
shows a comparison between the rates
imposed by the Mckinley act and those of
1888, it will find out that the contrary is the
case. The fact is that more articles were
reduced and placed on the free list than
were raised, and more were left at the old
rates. The facts have been published
heretofore; but we presume that the
Times, after studying the authority re-
ferred to, will give new statement of the
facts in correction of its erroneous asser-
ton.
There is no subject on which there has
been more Misrepresentation than this.
But as the Times is published in Pennsyl-
vania, where the iron and steel industries
supposed to be especially favored by the
act underwent more reductions than ad-
vances in the tariff rate, that journal
ought not to permit itself either ignorantly
or knowingly to be a party to the mis-
statement
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-10-07

on this assertion. One is that it is not the
Democratic platform. That document
imposes no conditions as to the security of
the bank note circulation. 1t calls for
absolute and unconditional repeal, leaving
the entire question of how bank notes
shall be issued to the vagaries OF State
legislation. The other is that if anyone
proposed that the tax should be repealed
with provisions for the security of the
State bank circulation 1t would be simple
nonsense. Congress cannot impose any
such conditions except by the device of
taxing all bank circulation that is not
issued In accordance with national regula-
tions. When it does that it establishes the
national banking system.
The fact is that this extraordinary plank
in the Democratic platform was sop to
the Bourbonism that hates the national
banking system as one of the results of the
war era, so much that it is ready to go
back to the era of reddog and wildcat
bank notes in preference. But that makes
it no less a striking example of the Demo
cratic unreliability on financial issues. By
its platform the Democratic party is char
acterized to-day as worse soft money
party than'th old greenbackers, or the
present free silver or Peoples party men.

PINKERTON's IDEAS.

There is much truth in the defense for
'fPinkertonism" which appears in an in
terview with ''Bill'' Pinkerton in another
column. That the use of private watch
men has in most cases been involved by
the apathy or lncompetency of public
officials is evident. That a culpable
shrinking from energy due to desire not
to antagonize certain sections of voters
has exercised an undue influence on those
whose paramount duty is to uphold the
majesty of the law can hardly be denied.
In condemning the system of private
mercenaries the causes which gave rise to
it must not be overlooked. The blame for
the matter has to be distributed between
that class of partisan office-holders whose
dereliction has thrown diScredit on the
instruments of constituted authority,
those property-holders who have en-
couraged official negligence by trust
ing to their own means for the de-
fense of their rights rather than boldly
relying upon the powers of the appointed
executive officers, and those individuals
who have satisfied the demand with private
forces of armed men.
The extent of what's known as sPinker-
tonism" may have been exaggerated, but
its evil tendencies cannot be Overrated
The system must 60 And officials will
have to be taught by public opinion that
they are appointed for definite duties, and
must earn their salaries by a proper per-
formance thereof. As Mr.. William Pinker-
ton says: "Let officials do their duty, and
no necessity would arise for calling in
Pinkerton men, And what is necessary
to make officials accomplish that for which
they are selected can only be secured by
gradual reformation in public spirit which
shall make office-holding dependent upon
nothing but real fitness for Office.

AN IMPROBABLE PROGRAMME.

The contributions OF English public men
to the discussion of English public ques-
tions in American publications are en-
riched by paper from Labouchere on
'England's Foreign Policy" The Radical
view which Labouchere elaborates in this
paper may be summarized to the effect
that England should have no foreign
policy. Her possessions direct and indi-
rect in Asia and Africa, and her past
interference in European questions, are
put by Labouchere in the light of ex-
pensive luXuries for which England has
received no adequate return. Be appears
to favor the abandonment of Egypt and
the recent acquisitions in Africa, and
would confine British policy to the i'm
provement of the condition of the suffer-
ing millions within British territory.
This is presented as the ideal Radical
programme; but whether it was written
while Labouchere maintained friendly re-
latlons with the Liberal leaders, or is a gift
of Grecian advice after he has undergone
the spretde SnjursG fo,mae of a neglected
politician, it is alike safe to predict that it
will not be carried out 1t may be an ex-
aggerated statement of Mr.. Gladstone's
private principles, but the ideal is so far
separated from the practical that no party
will in this generation be bold enough to
propose throwing away the foreign pos
sessions which England has obtained by
century and half of more or less aggres-
sive Jingoism.
The fact is that the English people very
well understand that the wealth and
power of the nation have been created by
the policy of colonial extension. Eng
lands hold on the various quarters of the
world may yield no direct return for the
expense; but the English have not failed
to get their return. Mr.. Labouchere is
not bold enough to propose evacuatlng
India, but the position of England is no
less anomalous there than in Egypt or
Uganda
1t is understood that Lord Rosebery has
assented to the evacuation of Uganda as
country too remote and savage to
crafty the maintenance of English su-
premacy there. But we do not think there
is much likelihood that he will withdraw
from Egypt, or relax the jealousy with
which the East Indian possessions of Eng
land are guarded. The importance of
those possessions to England, and the
somewhat Jingoist temper of the British
mind as regards them, are too well under
stood for any Cabinet to tempt the politi-
cal providence by proposing to throw
them away.
