The Boston journal takes gloomy view
OF the mission upon which Mr.. MASTERS
and Mr.. WADsoN OF Bermuda have come
10 the United States. These gentlemen
want q reduction in the duties on onions
and potatoes. Tho journal remarks
"If the bermuda delegates are Wise they will waste
no time IN Washington but viii take the nrst steamer
for home and report the coli Mai Government that
the Inst chance striking reciprocity bargain advan
tageous to both countries expired with the lARmsoS
Adjudication"
II the Bermuda delegates ore wise. they
will spend weeks In this country studying
the market for really fine onions. potatoes.
and early tomatoes. and at the same time
considering our system of free trade Tor all
who live under the American flag.
Then they will return home and toll the
House OF Assembly and the electors OF the
colony that the way to bring Bermuda
onions and potatoes into tho United States
free OF duty is to bring Bermuda itself into
the Union: every island. big or little. OF the
three hundred and sixty in the group.
Free trade with Bermuda is ready when-
ever Bermuda will have 1t on the same
conditions with tho other Americans who
enjoy 1t already.

WASHINGTON. July 21.-Muoh is printed about
pension irregularities and abuses. but there Is
one thing OF this kind that is specially de-
serving Of attention from heads OF depart
ments, but about which nothing is said or
done. Persons In great numbers oil over the
country. under law OF Congress- draw Sl2 a
month On the ground Of having, through SER
vice in the army. been incapacitated for self
supporting labor n considerable proportion OF
whom are almost. II not quite capable as ever
OF self-support. and actually are getting pay
as though they had no disability whatever.
1t Is Q fact capable of dem onstration anyhow
that In the Pension Bureau itself persons are
employed at $1,000 and $1,000 year. who are
drawing besides from the Government pen
sions OF S12 month. given to them on the
solo ground that they are incapable OF self
supporting labor! Cases OF this kind are to be
found il all tho departments 1t is believed. II
there are any exceptions they are rare.
In tho list OF questions In the famous search.
ing instrument known as the consanguinity
order there is nothing that tends to expose
this abuse 1t 10 especially worthy OF Secre-
tary IIoke Smiths attention. and that capable
practical reformer. Mr.. Logan Carlisle. will
probably regard the matter as one fit to be in
Quired into. with view to ascertnining
whether or not persons in the Treasury De-
partment drawing pensions. obtained on the
ground Of being capacitated for self-support-
ing toll, are not drawing good salaries which
none but able bodied men can earn.

Reports that We Contradict.

Our valued contemporary. the Wine and
Spirit Gazette. has the following timely
observations:
Precedent CLxvELAxp's secretary of Agriculture. j.
efrnLisG MoRroS Ia reported to favor the placing OF
crude materials such as COAL iron. and wool. on the
free list. This would entail annual loss OF from
$40 600 900 to 900 Of revenue to the Govern
nent To offset this loss the Secretary would put an
additional OF 81 abarre on beer which would yield
about $50. 900 900 year"
This cannot DO true. because 1t is con-
trary to the Chicago platform. OF which
Mr.. MORTON is an earnest and uncompro-
missing supporter.
A tariff for revenue only, which the Chi
cago platform promises. does not allow OF a
free list, whether for crude materials or for
anything else.
A free list is device Of protectionism
and favoritism. 1t is designed to favor
some one class Of people at the expense OF
the general body OF citizens. Mr.. MORTON
is too good. and above all. too intelligent
Democrat to give his support to such an
atrocity Of class legislation.
As to levying an additional impost on
beer. that Is another question: but the Wine
and Spirit Gazette offers arguments against
It that seem to US conclusive. Besides, 1t is
not mentioned In the Chicago platform;
and that Is enough to exclude it from pres
emit consideration. Let the platform first
be realized: let US have a genuine. logical.
and comprehensive tariff for revenue only:
Let US have the experiment OF such q tariff
tried fully, sincerely. and without any trick
or evasion; and after that Is completed. we
can 60 on and improve the internal revenue
system as much as possible. the best i'm
provement being its total abolition. But
while we are realizing the magnificent ideal
Of tariff for revenue only. it would be a
grave and perilous mistake to ring in for
eign elements and collateral changes.

The chief revenue OF the United States
Government is derived from the customs
duties levied upon foreign imports. The
value Of these imports passing through
American Custom Houses. In year.

the last fiscal year in detail. As per

imports to S45s.O0O000 The Government
revenue from customs averages about
$500. .0C0 q year. or 20 per cent. upon
the whole body Of imports.

Convention as fraud. u robbery OF the

an unconstitutional use of the taxing pow

homo production or OF American manu-
facture. are taxed. Among the former
articles. admitted duty free. are coffee,
chiefly from Brazil. to the annual amount
OF S126. 900. 900; sugar and molasses. chiefly
from Cuba. TO the amount Of $106. 0O0. 900;
S26.000.000 in hides and skins. chiefly from
South America: S25.000.0o0 In raw silk,
needed for American looms. mostly from
Asia; S3l.000.000 OF drugs and chemicals,
S10.000.000 OF India rubber Sl4.OO0,0OO
worth OF tea. from China and $4,000, 900
worth OF paper stock. chiefly from Italy.
Those imports are. for the most part, from
countries where manufacturing industries
are crudcly or imperfectly developed. or i'm
possible Of successful maintenance. A
sound basis Of trade interchange be-
tween them and the United States

American ports are taxed from 10 to $50
per cent. OF their value. tho rate varying

raised from them being S2OO.OO0.OOO the

publicans claim. while the commodities

The Chicago Convention OF June. 1892,
utterly rejected this system OF "Repub-
llcan protection" 1t rdiculed, stigma
tized. and denounced 1t. 1t declared that
1t was robbery and fraud. and uncon-
stitutional as well. and 1t pledged the Dem

Gcrmany-Extirpation of Vagrancy.

In January OF last year circular was adj
dressed by the State Department to the
United States Consuls directing them to re-
port upon the methods adopted in various
foreign countries for the regulation OF va
grancy and the suppression Of mendicancy.
The reports are now published. and while
some OF them contain but meagre informa-
ton. others are valuable contributions to
the literature Of the subject. For the best
OF them we are indebted to Mr.. FRANK II.
MASON. Consul-General at Frankfort-on-
tho-Main. who shows that the measures
taken in Germany during the last twenty
years for the restraint and reformation Of
the species OF vagabond known as the
tramp. have been attended with complete
success. The genius OF the German people
for tho systematic and effective application
Of means to ends has seldom been more
strikingly exhibited than In the treatment
OF vagrancy, which at one time was wide
spread anu serious social evil.
1t seems that the tramp habit acquired
formidable proportions in Germany soon
after the close OF the war OF 1901. Two
years later 1t was estimated that not less
than two hundred thousand men and boys

Congress will meet on Aug. in extra ses-

ties, except for the purpose of revenue only"
That was the promise to the country on
which Grover Cleveland was elected last fall
Now let US see whether Congress. which is

courage. common decency and honesty to re-
deem this pledge thus solemnly made. A
failure of Congress to act on this most i'm
