The WASHINGTON Post saws.


There can be no tariff reform that does not
touch coal, iron, salt, lumber, tin, sugar,
wool, rice and tobaCco-how can there be?
The Posts logic differs materially from the
view held by the democrats of Allegany
county.-Cumberland Neps.
Concerning ''iron, salt, lumber, tin,
sugar, wool, rice and tobacco" the
JOURNAL has heard no expression from
either democrats or republicans.
The only authoritative proclama.
ton Oh the subject was made by the
high protectionists this fall in plat
form pledging undiminished and per-
petual loyalty-not to their country,
nor even their State, and especially
not to their county-but to the manu-
featuring interests.
1t has turned out since, however
unofficially, but no less certainly, that
those same interests want free coal-a
chance to show their fidelity, of which,
it seems, our loyalists are not willing to
avail themselves.
1t is believed the objections to cor
ceding the demand are genuine, be-
cause certain criticisms of the Ways
and Means Committee-th umpire in
the game, make it sure that our high
protectionists, SUPERFICIAL as they are,
still are unwilling to save our manu-

To a very considerable extent, there
fore, the latform has been repudiated
in the most practical manner.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says:
The amount derived in 1892 by duties on
coal was SSl7, 1909, all of which will be lost
by placing coal on the free list.
