party in its action on the currency. But
the issue will not be very definite and
will not be at all dominant.
1t is well for the country that the
tariff will be again brought forward
and that it will be the controlling issue
1t is now nearly a half century since,
with the exception of the elections of
1883 and 1890, the commercial policy of
the nation can be said To have been
passed upon fairly by II popular vote.
McKlnleyism is but the ripened product
of the protective system growing out of
the war But that system IA n protec-
tive one dates from the repeal of the in
ternal revenue taxes between 1866 and
1872. II was not originally protective
in any extreme sense, and the excess OF
duties on imports over the compensate
ing internal revenue taxes would now
be regarded as free trade, and pretty
rank free trade at that. The Mills bill
was very far from return to the
Morrill, bill less internal taxation.
Shortly after the war, rs soon as the
real effect of the repeal of the internal
taxes began To be obvious, the move
been advancing steadily ever since.
But until 1883 the people never had an
opportunity 10 vote directly on it, 1t
was always presented tn them compli-
Gated with and obscured by some other
question of great popular interest. AT
most the vote for tariff reform was ten
tative and but partially effectual.
Sometimes the interference was from
the southern question, sometimes II was
the currency question, and on one occa-
sion at least--1ST6--it was both. Mr..
Tildeu was the first democratic candi-
date who succeeded in largely reducing
the Importance and influence of the
southern question. No one really
doubted his loyalty or feared that any
of the fruits of the war" would be
lost under him, or that the national dig
nifty or stability would be compromised
by him or with his assent. Int there
was deep-seated suspicion as To the
financial soundness of the party and his
capacity To control his party ON ques-
tions involving the currency lie stood
ON platform that demanded the repeal
of the resumption act of 1873. II is, per-
haps, not too much 10 say that without
this source of weakness Mr. Tilden
might have been indisputably elected.
However that may he, IL is clear that
In 1876 the tariff was not IA controlling
issue. IL was more nearly so in 1880,
but even then IL was the southern ques-
tion, artfully revived, that decided the
vote OF the northwest and kept that sec
ton from the path II would otherwise
have taken. In 1884 the tariff was OBJ
secured by the personal element brought
into the canvass by the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine. In 1883 the Issue was more
plain, and the popular vote was In favor
Of reform, but It's fruit was lost through

Appointing Foreigners tn Represent the
United states Abroad.
President Harrison has appointed
Nicholas Wertheim, German subject,
consul of the United States TO Moscow.
The president seems to be heartily in
favor of the practice of appointing citi-
zens of other countries TO represent this
government at diplomatic posts. Should
he be reelected he may adopt il as u
regular custom during his second term.
He commenced his present administra-
ton by appointing Patrick Egap, n flu
gitivc subject of Queen Victoria. to the
important position of minister plenipo.
Tertiary of the United States to Chilli.
There is something to be said, from a
political point of view, in favor of the
plan of selecting foreigners to repre-
sent the United States as ministers and
consuls abroad. 1t would never do, of
