Tho Irresistible VIII of the People.

Tho Philadelphia Ledger has the reputa-
ton of being in q sense Mr.. CLEvELANDs
personal organ. and on that account 1t is
sometimes necessary to point out that 1t
must not be regarded as his political organ.
This morning. for instance. we reprint from
Mr.. CH1IDs's Journal some remarks about
the tariff which show an absolute want Of
comprehension Of the most startling and
momentous political fact Of last year. and
Of this, and perhaps OF many years to come.
Starting from the safe proposition that
business men have no reason to fear that
the Fifty-third Congress has revolutionary
ideas In regard to finance and the rights OF
property. Mr.. CHILDs's Journal arrives at
the conclusion that there is no possibility
that an industrial revolution can be
wrought by the Fifty-third Congress.
This Is either the deliberate optimism OF
. protectionist allaying his own alarm. or
the moral obtuseness Of a man who allows
himself to expect that Mr.. CLEVELAND can
be depended upon to break and not to keep
o promise deliberately made and repeated.
The American people decided last fall that
they wanted an industrial revolution.
Twice since the election. Mr.. CLEVELAND
has renewed the assurance of his undeviat-
ing faithfulness to the main purpose for
which the Democratic party has been
brought to power. The overthrow Of pro-
lection. and the substitution for it Of
tariff for revenue only. will be an industrial
revolution. This Is what the country voted
for and what it must have. 1t Is idle to
complain about 1t. and 1t Is wasting
words to try to prevent it. The will
Of the people must be obeyed. The neces-
sity Of executing the edlct Of the people. as
we'll as regard for their own honor and self
respect. bind the Democracy and Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND beyond loosing. The industrial revo-
luton must come. Its effects are probably
exaggerated. but, be they what they may.
they cannot be as injurious to the country
as flat rebellion against the will Of the ma
jority would be; and not to smash protec-
ton and introduce the tariff for revenue
only would be such rebellion.
Mr.. CHnDs and the rest of the protec-
tionists may command the waves of the
Industrial revolution to be stayed. but
stayed the waves cannot be. They must
flow on until they cover and obliterate the
last remnant Of protection.
