TARIFF AND TAX.

Commenting upon Senator PETERS prop
osition to hand tariff reform over to a
commission of business men the St. Louis
Republic says. as If settling disputed
point in law or morals. that "the tariff
question is nothing but tax question"
There are people apparently who still
think so. But the broader view is that the
tariff is also an industrial question. 1t
may build up or destroy industries. 1t
may improve the condition of workngmen
or it may impair that condition. 1t may
make foreign nations the workshop of the
United States or iI may enable Americans
to do their own work. The tax element in
the tariff question is the least important of
all. In the United States at the present
time a uniform duty of 80 per cent ad
valorem would provide the Government
with all the money it needs from that
source. If so per cent should be found too
little make it 40 per cent; if too much
make it 20 or % per cent. All the study
needed to report a purely revenue tariff
bill is to calculate what would probably be
the amount of imports under pro posed
rate of duty. But when a tariff bill is con-
sdered with reference to the promotion of
industries a broader field of action is pre-
sented. A wise tariff builder will not at
tempt to foster an industry which from its
nature is foreign TO our soil. He will do
so far as he can what seems to be prac-
teal. Fortunately the present prospect is
that tariff construction Will soon be taken
out of the hands of men who see in it
nothing but the accumulation Of revenue.
The morning call., 1893-11-13
JINGOISM.

Since Mr.. Cleveland showed his purpose
to let manifest destiny work its way with
out assistance from the Government. it
has become the habit of his British adj
mirers to refer to the jiDgosm of the Har-
rison administration. For some years the
small republics of South and Central
America had been in the habit of treating
American citizens about as they pleased.
and when President Harrison called Chile,
the largest and most warlke. to account
he was charged with jingoism. The
action of the late administration in re-
spect to Hawaii is spoken Of as another
manifestation of jiDgoism. In fact, the
Government cannot take firm stand
toward smaller power without being ex-
posed to the insulting assumption that the
executive is playing for effect.
Between jingoism and its anti, the
choice lies with the former. Governments
sh ould, of course. pursue the golden me-
dunn, but since it is human to err. let the
error be on the right side. The American
Government should ask no more Of Chile
than of France or Russia in case of dis
pute, but there is no reason why it should
take much less. A small nation may be
required 10 be just as well as large one.
Ii not disposed to be just 1t may be disci-
plined. even by power hundred times
its size. There had been until the Harri-
son administration came in standing
complaint that an American citizen had in
fact no Government behind him when in
other countries on the American Cont
nenI. The subject of a European power
would be treated with consideration, but
it was assumed that an outrage upon an
American citizen might be committed
with impunity. Mr.. Harrison's firm pol
icy during the Chilean trouble has had
good effect. He was understood TO repre-
sent the sentiment of the American
people. Fortunately the criticism of the
portion of the press which pretend to hold
American jingoism in such horror. while
applauding manifestations of physical
power on the part of European nations, do
not obtain the circulation of state
paper. The people of foreign nations
know what the Government has done, but
remain in ignorance of American COM
ments upon the Governments policy.
