There was time when this description
was measurably true. The tariff reformers
were, In the majority Of instances. local
proteotionists and general free traders In
tho abstract they dotted upon froe trade; In
the concrete each one Of them found In his
own district or State some pot protected in
terest which led him into inconsistency and
errancy. As long as the method Of hori-
xontal reduction OF duties was in favor. it
was inevitable that there should be
scramble. and that the most honest free
trader should be unwilling to give up his
piece OF pie. But now the face OF tariff re-
form has suffered wonderful change.
Since the high ground Of the unconstl-
tutionality Of protective duties has been
occupied by the Democracy. the tempta-
ton for free traders here and there to
sacrifice their principles In the inter-
est Of protection for some picayune in
dustry in their nelghborhood has been re-
moved. The constitutional doctrine OF a
tarih for revenue only may be uncomfort-
able and Improbable to Democrats who
have looked with too kind an eye upon local
protected Industries, but there Is no squirm-
ing away from that doctrine. Either the
Constitution must be changed. or protec-
ton must be smashed. There Is no getting
away from the alternative.
We regret to see On ethical paper like
the Indianapolis journal falling to appre-
ciate and admire the spirit Of self-sacriflce
that has led the Democracy to proclaim the
constitutional doctrine Of tariff for
revenue only. without regard to tho special.
local. and private interests that may be
subserved by the maintenance Of protective
duties. The general and enlightened al
truism will be sufficient. we cannot doubt,
to overcome the selfish psrticularistio in
stincts upon which the enemies of the
constitutional doctrine rely for its defeat
or the delaying of Its triumph.

An Effort to Abolish Human Nature

Mr.. OLIVER SUMNER TEALL. an enterpris.
ing young gentleman of New York. who
aspires to be great reformer. is making a
new experiment In reform by undertaking
to abolish treating.
His theory is that intemperance is fos.
tered by tho conviWal custom Of treating
to drinks. and that. consequently. II men
drink only what they themselves pay for
thore will be less drunkenness. less poverty,
less misery. and less wickedness in the
world. AS tho custom Is at present, he eX-
plains. when man goes In with several
companions to take a cocktail. for instance.
he feels under the pressure OF social obli-
CATION TO treat them to cocktails also;
and then. in turn. each OF them deems
himself constrained to furnish another
round OF cocktails for the party. Hence.
out OF mere politeness. each man is COM
PEELED to drink as many cocktails as there
are members OF the party though really he
wanted only single potation: and the
whole number retire from tho drinking
place moro or less damaged by the strong
liquor. II. then. SO thinks and contends this
reformer. 1t should be made as unfashiona-
BILE to treat friend to drinks as to pay his
tailor's bill. a man would no longer feel
himself obliged to drink moro than he
actually wanted.
That is. Mr.. TEALL would abolish tho
whole principle OF hospitality. for II man
should not treat a friend to drink In a bar
room or club. he should not treat him to
one In his own house. II. too, 1t should be
made as questionable to pay for mans
drink as for his boots. why should 1t not
likewise be made as unfashionable to enter
tain him at dinner as to give him a pair OF
trousers? OF course, hospitality is not
pronered with view to the reward OF re-
ciprocation, but tho interchange OF such
civilities ls usual. aud it makes up the order
OF social life. The guest is under no more
obligations to his host than his host is
under to him. The host does his guest
honor by inviting him: the guest honors
the bost by accepting his hospitality. and

As to Trusts.

Our able contemporary. the Post-Er-
press, Is correct when it says that we re-
gard "the declarations in the national
platform as final and conclusive. The plat
form is the law and gospel Of Democracy"
Our contemporary Is incorrect in holding
that THE sun violates tho letter and spirit
OF this declaration OF the Chicago platform :
I'VE recognize in tho trusts and combinations which
are designed to ensbls capital tosecure than
Just share Oft joint product OF capital and labor
natural consequence of tho prohibitve tsxes which
prevent the free composition which is the life OF
honest trade. but believe their worst OWLS be
abated by law. and we demand the rigid enforcement
OF tho laws Ade prevent control them together
with such further legislation in restraint of their
abnsss ns OK 1perisnoo may show to be necessary"
We understand this to mean that trusts
and combinations are caused by the appli-
cation OF tho unconstitutional doctrine Of
protection. Consequently, wiping out pro-
lection will wipe out trusts and combl-
nations. Meanwhile. the anti-tr laws
should be enforced, and such other legisa-
ton should be enacted as experience may
show to be necessary. About the cause OF
trusts and their character we may not
agree with the Democratic platform, but
such disagreement doesn't prevent us from
recognizing tho obligation OF tho Demo-
cratic party to carry out its contracts But
as far as we know. experience hasn't shown
the necessity Of any new legislation on the
subject OF trusts. aud the poppycock parlia-
ment on the subject held in Chicago this
week will be superfuous.
II the Democratic party has undertaken
in earnest to check or destroy an irresistible.
necessary development Of great business
enterprises. the results OF the undertaking
may not be glorious, but mono the less it Is
the duty Of the Democracy to stick to its
engagements. 1t Is proper to say. how
ever. that In the matter OF trusts there
seems to be in all parties m ineradlcabls
propensity to buncombe. Moreover. it ap-
pears from the Democratic doctrine on
trusts. that tho protective tariff is the
fount and origin Of the evil. We may ex-
pect. therefore. that the abolition OF pro-
tective duties will abolish the trusts If
they then decline to die. why. then will be
the time for more legislation against them.
