CURRENT COMMENT.
WHO PAYS THE TAX?
TSan Francisco ChronicIe1


The American free trader may be as
sured in his mind that the tariff tax is
is always paid by the consumer, but the
British free trader. whatever may have
been his opinion in the past, is rapidly
revising it. Take the last number of the
British Trade Review, which has just
come to hand, and note what it says in
discussing the Board of Trade returns for
the past seven months. After remarking
that the returns in question show that
the value of British and American pro-
duets exported has fallen off in much
greater ratio than quantity, the Review
goes on to say:
This seems to imply that the recent additions
TO foreign and colonial tariffs have compelled
the producers OF this country to sacrifice price
in certain cases about equal in amount to the
rise i'll these tariffs One effect of protec-
ton, such as foreign countries are now present
ing and enforcing against our exports, is that
they often get what they want of our goods at
reduced prices, and a contribution to their rev.
enueS at the same time.
This hardly harmonizes with Cleve-
lands absurd dictum that the American
consumer is compelled to pay an en-
HANGED price for all imported articles,
and those of similar kind made in this
country equal to the amount of the duty.
The consumer in this country only pays
the whole duty when he consumes an
imported article Of kind that we do
not produce ourselves in sufficient guam
tity to affect the price. AS nearly all
of the dutiable competing products are
being manufactured in constantly in
creasing quantities, the volume of the
home production soon becomes the de-
termining factor in the fixing of prices,
and the tariff cuts no more figure in the
business than to prevent the foreigner
from dumping his surplus products on
our markets, and unsettling values by
selling his products at loss.

There seems to be reason for appre
hension that the reciprocity treaties re-
Gently made between the United States
and the republics TO the South of us are
in danger on account of the jealousies OF
the principal European countries such as
France, Germany and Italy. 1t is said
that Germany has several times attempted
to coerce San Domingo into abrogating
its treaty with us and failing in this has
offered that country an annual subsidy
of $4,000 to break the treaty. Further
more it is alleged that an agent of San
Domingo has recently been in Washing
ton to see if the United States could not
be induced to offer subsidy of $1,000
for continuance of the treaty, but get
ting little encouragement, sailed for
Europe for the purpose, it is suspected,
of seeing what kind of a trade he could
make with Germany.

The New York Post appears to be get
ting reconciled to Tammany Hall quite
rapidly, Protesting against the nominal
ton of a candidate for mayor against
the Tammany candidate it says:
A great deal of missionary work needs to be
done, i'll our estimation, and great change
needs to take place both in the public mind and
in the press before we can hope to see any real
Improvement In the city government. AS far as
now appears, the present municipal government
is about what the majority OF voters now de-
sire, and, we were going to add, deserve. The
common justice to add that Tammany has since
then done rather better than was necessary.
The improved pavement and the clean streets
are more than the citizens had any right to eX-
pect To let Mrs. kinnlcott and her committee
clean the streets was pure act of grace. 1t
mas long been fOreSeen that no movement
against Tammany would have any success this
year, unless Tammany broke with the party on
the Presidential nomination, and this it has
taken care not to do. There is nothing novel in
the situation. Tammany is the product of a
certain condition of the public mind, and until
there is some sign of great change in this con-
dillon, naming third tickets against it is like
making sick man take violent exercise.
This tone is in marked contrast to that
of two years ago, when the Post was
publishing Tammany biographies and
holding up the leaders of that organiza-
ton to public scorn and contempt.
There was no more prospect then of beat
ing the Tammany candidate than there
is now. The Post opposed Tammany
then because being a respectable news
paper, it could not support candidates of
bad personal and political records. This
year it appears to have abdicated its po-
sition as a respectable newspaper, and is
in favor of letting Tammany have it's own
way, lest itmay do harm to Mr.. Cleve-
land. In order to secure the election of
Mr.. Cleveland the Post is ready to per-
init without resistance the men whom it
used to stigmatize as thieves and rum
sellers to renew their grip upon the city
of New York. We are inclined to think
that the wicked and subservient political
organ was never guilty of baser or more
pusillanimous conduct than this.

For man of his temperament Mr..
Cleveland's present position must be ex-
ceedingly humiliating. The Hill crowd
and Tammany hate him cordially and
would no doubt like to see him defeated.
But they have agreed to vote for him on
the stipulation that he will surrender
complete control in New York to them.
So he has gone to New York in further
ance of that agreement to try to induce
the anti-snappers who are his real friends
not to interfere with Tammang's local
programme. The New York Sun and
Charles A. Dana hate him, and for years
have covered him with ridicule. Yet at
command of the New York Sun and Mr..
Dana he dwells at length in his letter of
acceptance on the issue of the force
bill, an Issue invented by Mr.. Dana in
order to belittle the issue of the tariff
with which Mr.. Cleveland is closely iden-
titled. To secure his election Mr.. Cleve-
land has abdicated his selfrespect and is

The statement that Judge Gresham
intends to vote for Cleveland does not
rest on the most satisfactory authority :,
and itmay turn out as untruthful as the
one circulated some time ago that he
was going to accept the nomination of
the Peoples Party for the Presidency.
There are, however, some circumstances
that tend to confirm it. Gresham has
been soreheaded for some time past,
feeling that he had not received from the
Republican party the recognition due
him, and when a man gets in that con-
dition he is pretty likely, sooner or later,
to turn up in the Democratic party.
Probably Mr.. Greshman will take nobody
but himself into the Democratic party, so
that the change made in the situation by
his apostacy will not be alarming.

The apparent success with which the
officers of the ''re-organized'' Iron Hall
order are securing the cooperation of
some of the old members is very salts
factorily explained by Insurance Com
missioner Merrill of Massachusetts,, who
declares that the terms Of many of these
old members certificates have only two
years more to run, and that they hope
that enough new members can be induced
to come in to keep the order going until
the old members can get their money out.
This view of the case is not likely to
stimulate the accession of new members.
