TARIFFS AND FREE TRADE.

The New York Sun says that the
Democratic platform does not call
for free trade but for u revenue tariff
This may be distinction without q
difference. The platform calls for
the abolition of protective duties 1t
denounces the whole scheme and po'-
icy and protection as unconstitutional
and essentially vicious, and demands
thatsimport duties shall be levied tN.
clusively for revenue. There rs no
essential connection between a tariff
and free trade. Free trade is simply
free trade-unrestricted commerce
the right TO buy and sell. A tariff
that does not protect, that does not
exclude, that does not interfere with
a citizens right to buy where he can
buy cheapest is not inconsistent with
free trade any more than is Il tax on
lands or privilege tax on merchants
That is the kind Of tariff which the
Democratic party is pledged to enact
We have no idea that it will be able
TO give US such a tariff during The life
Of the pre- sent Congress, The Demo
cratic party is heavily handicapped
by the legaces Of the Republican
party. by a deficiency of revenue
caused by Republican extravaganza,
and it must do the best it can under
the circumstances. But we should
not be frank il we did not say that 1t

protectionists in Its own ranks. The
Northern and Eastern Democrats are
very weak on tariff reform, and they

we hope that If there be a poet laureate. or

Since the death of TennysOn there have
been numerous candidates for the dignity
of poet laureate in England. but none are
worthy of the position. In France, nat

laureate, but there is always a great
poet surrounded by his satellites. In
the middle of the century Lamartine

Senator Kenna's death has robbed the
boys Of the United States of one of the
most interesting books that has ever been
planned for their amusement. Senator
Kenna was great lover Of children, and
he could hold the attention of boys for
hours by telling them stories of his hunting
adventures. He was great hunter and he
spent large part of every summer camping
out in the wilds of West Virginia. Many
cf his friends at Washington have received
presents of game from him and he could
shoot straighter and kill more deer than any
other man in Washington. He was one Of
ths best amateur photographers in the
United States, and he left hundreds of snap
shots which he had taken in the noun
tains of hunting scenes and the mega.
tives representing these are carefully
classified and stored away in his
library. For many years he has
been taking photographs. and his pictures
represent all sorts of hunting and fishing.
and they are the finest collection of the kind
in the country. During the past summer he
Planned a book for boys. which was To con-
sist OF his stories Of hunting and sporting,
and was to have been illustrated by these
pictures. and it was to have been entitled
