TIE COST OF CHANGE.

The people are not responsible for delay IN
tariff revision, it is claimed. and therefore
"The Washington Post criticiseS THE TRIB-
UNE. When the people ceased voting in No
vember they had right to expect that the
power intrusted to President Cleveland and
his party would be used as promptly as pos
sible to relieve the people from burdens
which, it had been alleged, were intOlerable,
and especially to spare them the losses which
long period of uncertainty and expected
change would involve. The President did not
carry out their will. He considered it safer
for political purposes to postpone all action for
some months, reasoning that depression during
that period of delay could be charged to other
causes, and that there would then remain less
depression to follow the change of tariff. The
plan did not lack certain kind of shrewd-
ness though it was the reverse Of helpful to
the country.
But "The POST doubtless understands that
in the belief of THE TRIBUNE the result Of
tariff reduction accomplished would be even
more severe and harder to bear than the ex-
pectaion of reduction. The people voted for
a change and for all its natural consequences
There are those who believe that the benefits
of tariff reduction, when accomplished, would
outweigh its evil effects, but THE TRIBUNE
does not The evils of uncertainty and delay.
if the change is to come, are distinct and I'M
necessary, but the evils of the change proposed
were even greater. More works would be
stopped by the abolition of the duties than by
the fear of the abolition The TRIBUNE does

decision of the voters that it becomes \ sin 70
hold that they act unwisely. Their will is to
be Obeyed and respected as the law of tbe
land if formulated and enacted by their reprc-
sentatives but it is entirely proper for every
free citizen to point out reasons, if he can for
believing that they have erred in judgment.
1t may be assumed that neither "The POST,
nor any other sensible journal intends TO deny
the prOpriety of such frank criticism To pre-
tend that events give no reason for doubling
the correctness of the peoples judgment would
be insncere and dishc2est. They wanted and
voted for greater change than has yet come.
though in the same direction They voted
for a withdrawal of Protection, and conse-
ouently closing of American mills and works,
in order that the people should have chance
IN get more goods from abroad at lower cost
The mere expectation of that withdrawal closes
many works.
President Cleveland might have brought
unon the country the proposed change without
nrolouoed delay. it is true. But those who
voted for him and his party. well knowing

THE UNEMPLOYED.

"The New-York World" has counted the
number of unemployed workmen in fifty seven
trades in this town. The aggregate is 36,1T'
and il represents only fraction of the number
ont of work As the situation is summed up
in tbe headlines of "Tbe Worlds" article
thousands are coming from the West IN search
of Jobs, immigrants are tarrying here on &C
count of business stagnaion, factories by shut
ting down daily increase the host OF idlers' ana
an alarming array of statistics points out inc
chances of bread riots in the near future " Ana

II q Republican journal had printed such an
exhibit as "The Worlds" and accompanied
II with forebodings of bread riots and starva-
tion. it would have been accused of indecent
craftsmanship and tainted with gloating over
tho business disasters which have followed
President Cleyelands election. The TRIBUNE
has carefully avoided ieremiads of this sort
II has sought to take as cheerful view OF
tho business conditions as the circumstances
have allowed
Since "The World" has made this unofficial
census of the unemployed, we cannot refrain
from reminding it that a year ago there was
n very different exhibit of the wOrlingmen
fortunes in this State. Commissioner Peck
Democratic official who owed his appointment
TO Governor Cleveland, compiled the status
tics. Every factory was working on full time
and at high pressure. There was abundance
of.employment and workers were in demand
everywhere. Wages had risen in nearly all
branches of employment and were tending up
ward Anybody who limited at bread riots"
under the conditions of prosperity then pre-
yaing would have been remanded to lunatlc
asylum.
That the times were good was indisputable
q wear ago. The only cause for complaint
among thousands who voted against success
full policies was that prosperity was unequaly
distributed. and that some classes were not
getting what they considered their full share
of if. That the times are now as bad as they
were then good cannot be questioned by any
one who accepts "The Worlds" figures and
forecasts and the chances are that adversely
will be evenly distributed, so that unhapplly,
all classes will share in it. We sincerely hope
that 1.-The Worlds" account is overdrawn, and
that its predictions will not be fulfilled.

natural results of intrusting to such man and
to such party the power TO aec'ue' Inc
want of sincerity on the part OF many Demo-
Gratis. the conflict of opinion "i'.'h ,'o Den'-

wanted a declaration which the Na''ohai Con-

voters in November. as they are now 1t was
not to be expected that prompt ac'ioh could
be reached under such circumstances hhow-
ing all this, the people gave full power to the
President and his party, and it Is not unfair
or unreasonable to say that those who so voted
are in a great degree responsible Tor the heslta-
ton and delay which could have been and
was clearly foresecn.
1t is not an offence against propHety, but
simply the discharge of public duty Tor those
who believe that the people made a mistake
to submit to them from time to time inc 1acts
which tend to show that 1t was mistake.
They must learn by experience. IL mas seemed
good to them to try change and there would
be no honesty in suppressing the fact that the
mere preparation for that change Is costing
them sorely. These who believe that the re-
vision of the tariff itself, when 1t comes, Will
produce altogether different results, nave a
right to ask why the President so long de-
ferred that change, and why it Is his closest
friends do not seem in haste to answer

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

The nnvelcome news that cholera is making
Roadway in Italy, and has been epidemic In
Marseilles for several months, reaches us
simultaneously with the arrival at this port of
an emigrant steamer from Naples on which
three persons died during the voyage OF a
diarrhoeal disease. Naturally strong sls-
picion, if not positive belief. exists that they
died of cholera, and DR.. Jenkins has promptly
taken suitable precautions. Fortunately, the
sanitary authorities had been informed by an
alert and faithful agent of the Government at
Naples that cholera prevailed there, and were
prepared to intercept any vessel arriving from
a Mediterranean port.
OF course it is not pleasing thought that
an infected steamer may be lying at anchor IN
New York Bay, but it would be extremely TOOL
ish 70 get alarmed and Respondent. A repetl-
ton of the fright which seized the city year
ago would be sensecss, and we are glad to
believe that there is not the least danger OF
such an agitation. The streets are in far con-
dition now. and they are in charge OF a man
whose ability is undOubted and whose DISPOSE
ton to do his work thoroughly has been IN
dicated already in gratifying manner. The
water supply is adequate in quantity for all
purposes, and the quality is not only compare
lively excellent but likely to be improved by
a new process of publication. The quarantine
machinery is far better adapted to the require
ments of an exacting situation than it was last
wear. and the experience then gained would be
of great use in another emergency. The com
munity is warranted in regarding the posi-
bilities of the near future with entire com
posure and cheerfulness. Under National an-
thority. moreover system of inspection has
been applied by officers of the Government IN
foreign ports, so that the danger OF an invasion
of the plague has been greatly diminished.
II is an encouraging fact that the false assllr-
ances of the Italian Government did not de-
Jude our vigilant representative at Naples.
The financial and industrial condition OF the
country is not hopeful just at present, and a
new cause for melancholy would be most I'M
welcome But there is no reason to look at the
suspected vessel in New-Yorll llarbor in that
light 1t has not yet been proved that there
has been cholera on board, and if there has
the chances are hundred to one that no germs
of the disease will get ashore. There is no
need to worry, and anything like panic would
be supremcly foolish
