THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bill, it appears, has
been made public. From the brief
particulars concerning it which have
come by telegraph, it seems to be of a
character which the great body of the
Democratic party will approve.
Fears were entertained by some that
in consequence of personal appeals
from interested parties, there would be
a departure in some degree from the
principles of the platform of 1892. The
Republican press alternately predicted
the most radical and sweeping destruc-
ton of the old tariff, bringing disaster
and ruin, and prognosticated the fail
ure of the Democratic Congress to act
up to the party pledges, by merely
making a few changes without touch
ing any vital point.
The report of the Ways and Means
committee will upset all their pretend
ed provisions. The bill is framed on
the basis of the revenue principle, and
is just sufficiently conservative to pre-
clude any of the terrible results that
were foreshadowed. 1t places a great
many articles on the free list, includ-
ing raw materials which are necessary
in manufactures, and establishes the
ad valorem principle in the place of
specific duties on manufactured goods.
The gradual reduction of the bounty
on sugar will perhaps displease some
radical reformers who wanted the sys-
tenn smashed at one blow, but the more
considerate will, we believe, approve of
the conservatism which aims at the
right. and yet desires to do no wrong
TO people who have become involved in
expensive ventures, through the sys-
TEN established by a Republican adj
ministration.
The wool and lead question will be
commented upon severely by the rabid
Republican press. but they will not be
able to explain how it is that under
the highest protection to those articles
the domestic product became lower in
price than ever in the history of the
tariff
When the bill is fully brought out, it
will afford much food for debate. both
in and out of Congress. and the public
will be treated again to disquisitions
on the tariff, until they have surfeit.
We hope to keep our readers posted in
regard to the matter without too much
prolixity. and in a way that will afford
them information and yet not weary
them with unimportant details.

and made complete before the cleo
ton, and because he had acted as Pro-
bate Judge after the election, SO that
his resignation was not complete even
at the time when the issuance of the
certificate was voted upon.
1t will be found that the more this
business is stirred up the more it will
prove unpleasant for the side which
gave the certificate to a person clearly
ineligible under the law. There was no
proof that his resignation was received
at the seat of government before No
venmber Goth, two weeks after the cleo
ton. We do not say it was not re-
ceived before that date, but we do say
that there was mo proof offered that it
was. and the Commission had nothing
shat went before that date to base
their conclusion upon, if it was as
stated by the Tribune The record is
the proof of the correctness of our
statement, and it shows Williams vot-
ing with Robertson and Godfrey for
issuing the certificate, Lett and Nc
Clernand voting against it. Thus the
Tribune is incorrect as usual And
calling General McClernand's course
.'cowardly," after his departure from
the territory, is the meanest kind of
cowardice, for it would not have been
done in his presence, and anybody who
calls the General a coward deserves a
still stronger term of reprobation, be-
cause everybody knows that is the
very opposite of the truth. If there is
anybody on the Commission who has
the courage of his convictions. it is the
old soldier who has stood by his opin-
ions and against what he knew to be
wrong, from the time he had to fight
both Republicans and an alleged DEM
ocrat on nearly every proposition af-
fecting the welfare of the territory.
The Tribune will make nothing either
by misrepresenting The Herald in this
matter or by assailing a brave and
honest gentleman who has gained it's

duced to swerve from his duty and
sense of right to please the Liberal
party, in whose interest three of the

OLD IDEAS GOOD FOR TO-DAY.

The following thoughts, expressed
long ago by Adam Smith, offer food
for reflection at the present time, par
ticularly to people whose ideas run in
a groove and who can only trace the
effects of a financial stagnation to a
single cause:
If gold and silver should at any
time fall short in a country which has
wherewithal to purchase them, there
are more expedients for supplying
their place than that of almost any
other commodity. If the materials of
manufacture are stopped, industry
must stop. If provisions are wanted,
the people must starve. But if money
is wanted, barter will supply its place,
though with a good deal of inconveni-
ency. Buying and selling upon credit,
and the different dealers compensat-
ing their credits with one another,
once month or once a year, will sup
ply it with less ineenveniency. All
Well-regulated paper money will sup
ply it, not only without inconveniency,
but, in some cases, with some advan-
tages. Upon every account, therefore.
the attention of government never
was so unnecessarily employed as
when directed to watch over the
preservation or increase of the quan-
tity of money in any country.
No complaint, however, is more COM
mon than that OF a scarcity of money.
Money, like wine, must always be
scarce with those who have neither
wherewithal to buy it, nor credit to
will seldom be in want either Of the
money or of the wine which they have
occasion for. This complaint, how
ever, of the scarcity of money, is
not always confined to improvident
spendthrifts. 1t is sometimes general
through a whole mercantile town, and
the country in its neighborhood. Over
trading is the common cause of it.
Sober men, whose projects have been
disproportioned to their capitals, are
as likely to have neither Wherewithal
to buy money, nor credit to borrow it.
They run about everywhere to borrow
money, and everybody tells them that
they have none to lend Even such
general complaints of the scarcity of
money do not always prove that the
usual number of gold and silver pieces
are not circulating in the country, but
that many people want those pieces
who have nothing to give for them
When the profits of trade happen to
be greater than ordinary, over-trading
becomes a general error both among
great and small dealers. They do not
always send more money abroad than
usual, but they buy upon credit both
at home and abroad, an unusual guam
tity Of goods, which they send to some
distant market, in hopes that the re-
turns will come in before the demand
for payment. The demand comes be-
fore the returns, and they have no
thing at hand with which they can
either purchase money, or give solid
security for borrowing. 1t is not any
scarcity of gold and silver, but the diff
ficulty which such people find in Dor
rowing, and which their creditors find
in getting payment, that occasions the
general complaint of the scarcity of
money

BALLOT REFORM.

Attention is directed to a commune
cation from Judge Judd on the sub
ject of his lecture at the University,
delivered last Friday night, report
of which appeared in The Herald of
Saturday morning. In commenting
upon one point of the very excellent
lecture we remarked that the idea
might be regarded as extreme, that
only native born citizens should be
permitted to exercise the elective fran
chise. The Judge says he meant that
to apply entirely to the future. He
would not deprive anybody of the
franchise already possessed, but he
favors an amendment to the Consti-
tuition providing that, in future, mo
foreigner should ever exercise the
elective franchise in the United
States"
We take pleasure in giving Judge
Judd's views as he presents them.
The idea in regard to foreigners vo-
ting is as we explained, with the ex-
ception that it applies only to persons
who may yet come to the United
States from foreign countries.
With the main point aimed at by
the learned lecturer we perfectly
agree; that is, there should be some
effectual means by which this country
should be protected against the evils
arising from the equal participation
in the affairs of government, of those
ignorant persons and native born
American citizens. In what way
those evils shall be best corrected is
an open question, one that ought to be
thoroughly discussed. And the Judge,
as he says, has a right to express his
opinion From what we know of him
we should say he is very likely to
avail himself of that right. And when
it is done by the means of such lee
lures as that delivered on Friday
night, the youth of the community
and the public generally are likely to
receive great benefit.
It will not be out of place, perhaps,
in this connection to say that the
elective franchise needs some protec-
ton from others besides those for
eigners who, all too quickly in many
instances. are admitted to the full
rights and privileges of American
citizenship. There are some people,
born in this country, who have never
taken the trouble to acquaint them
selves with the simplest of the principles
which give life and force and beauty
to our political institutions. There
are some, too, who are just as venal
and open to improper influences in
reference to elections, as the too
rapidly naturalized foreigners who
are bought like cattle or driven like
sheep to the polling places.
Thorough reform will reach down
to both classes. and withhold the bal
lot from hands which on general prin-
ciples are untitled to cast it.. on mat
tiers that relate to the welfare of the
nation or the community locally af-
fected thereby. But the great prin-
ciple must not be lost sight of, in
either case, that taxation without
representation is tyranny, and that
the essence of just republican govern
ment is. the consent of the governed.
We commend Judge judas commu-
nication and his lecture TO the atten-
ton of the thoughtful, not only among
our youthful students, but to older
and wiser heads which cannot but
have pondered on the necessities of
ballot reform.
