In obvious, however. that In the end, and
probably not far In the future, they will
have to be replaced with more suitable
structures. whatever the cost.
This means that soon the sum required
for the schools will largely increase. for the
purpose OF the school fund must be full
filled by afrordinR proper accommodation
for the growing school population. Both
down town and up town. more schools are
already needed in the crowded districts;
and the changes OF population. and the new
and rapid settlement OF districts now
thinly peopled. will require the erection OF
many others still.
The outlook for a large increase In the
expenditures on the schools, even now
enormous. Is therefore clear. We're 1t not
for the Roman Catholic parochial schools,
supported at private expense. the deficiency
in the accommodations for the children OF
the CITY would be even more disgraceful.
With all its vast expenditure for public ed
ucation, New York has failed to provide
the instruction for which the people are
taxed. Thousands OF children are still shut
out from its benefits, though they are just
ly entitled to them. AS 1t is now. our school
system is failure.
What is the lesson OF all this? 1t Is that
every cent appropriated for the schools
should be spent in providing the elemen-
tary instruction for which the demand 10
universal. Every foot Of school room in tho
city should be given up to 1t, and no more
money should be expendedin higher educa-
ton for the benefit Of the few at the cost
Of the deprivation OF the multitude. In
other words the expenditures of the school
fund should be governed by democratic
and not aristocratic principles.
The Commission now engaged In tho
task OF simplifying and harmonizng the
school laws should pave the way for this
necessary reform.

The law has been practically nullifed any

In the House of Representatives on Sat
urday some queer bills for single tariff
changes were brought In by Democratic
Representatives. The Hon. CHARLES TRACEY
of Albany had a bill to put coal tar and its
products on the free list. The Hon. HENRY
ST. GEORGE TUCKER OF Virginia had bill
TO put binding Irvine on the free list: also
bill to make snlphuric acid or oil of
vitliol free Of duty. The Hon. GEORGE
WASHINGTON HoUK OF Ohio proposed to
put upon the free list ANY filtering me-
dunn manufactured from earth products.
the formula for the compromising OF which
Is protected by letters patent granted to
citizen of foreign country" Gen. JOE
WHEELER Of Alabama wanted to put cotton
bagging on the free list.
We wonder how these distinguished DEM
ooratic Representatives think the Govern
ment Is to raise the revenue necessary to
defray the expenses OF the Government
economically administered. We wonder
what their notion Of tariff for revenue
only Is. The struggle between various In
terests to get upon the free list is no less
dishonoring scuffie for favoritsm than the
struggle for the protection OF a bounty or
duty; and such a struggle is part OF
protectionism. and should be impossible in
the new economic era which the Demo-
cratic party is to begin. To tax Tom and
DICK In order that an article in which
HARRY Is interested may come in free. Is as
rank protectionism. as rank injustice and
favorltism. and as deep an affront to
the Constitution as to tax Tom and DICK
by means Of u protective duty for HARRY's
benefit. The remission OF tax for the ben
eft OF an industry. an interest. a class. Is a
piece OF protectionism even more opposed
to the letter and spirit OF the Democratic
platform than the imposition OF duty for
such benefit. The protective duty unless 1t
Is SO high as to DO almost prohibitive
will contribute something to the revenue
OF the Government and SO serve indirectly
what the Democrats declare to be tho sole
constitutional purpose Of tariff. The free
list not only defrauds one class for the ben
emit OF another. but 1t defrauds the revenue
itself. and illustrates the one object of
constitutional tariff
There can be no favoritism under such a
tariff. Every import must pay its share
toward the support of the Government. To
take on any duty is to be guilty of favorit-
Ism toward one particular article and its
users. and unfair TO all the rest. That three
Democratic Representatives in single day
should make propositions for a free list.
shows how deep is the faint OF protection
Ism. These men are protectionists either
with or without knowing it: and they have
an utterly erroneous conception OF what a
tariff for revenue only is. In 50 far as
they countenance the creation of a free
list. they are trying to bring about
avstem OF palpahs preposterousness.

Tho Decline Of tho Grand Army.

The twenty-seventh National Encamp-
ment OF the Grand Army OF the Republic
has now passed into history. The veterans
have gone or are going their ways home
ward from Indianapolis. and can think over
at leisure the events Of their meeting.

marched in the parade. and there were ten
times that number OF admiring onlookers
| The railroads have remarkable figures OF the
| passengers they carried to town. NFhe af-
fair was perhaps helped by the opportunity
OF combining the reunion with trip to the
big Chicago show. 1t was held. too, at the
place Of the very first National Encamp-
ment. and there were pathetic elements in
the "reminiscences and in the contrast be-
tween 1866 and 1893. Ringing speeches
we're made. and there was plenty OF en-
thusiasm among the hearers and no abate-
ment in the glow OF comradeship.
But there was something more suggestive
at the meeting than all this. For the first
time in the history OF the Grand Army its
roll showed clear and indisputable falling
off. The year before. at the Washington
encampment. there had been an omen of
what has now come. The annual gain in
membership. once reckoned in tens OF thou
sands. had fallen to only 200 names. With
a special anxiety and interest. therefore.
the statistics OF the present encampment
were awaited.
When they came It was found that. as
had been feared. high-water mark had al
ready been passed and the ebb had set In.

mander-in.Chief WE1ssERT in his annual
address. made by headquarters. to in

Cured without a determined attempt to

tween June and December. 1892. the men,
bership had been increased. in spite Of all
inroads: but that gain and more was
lost early in the present year. A
pardonabe effort to explain the decline
was made in the suggestion that it may
have been due to 1.-The determination to
weed out all members who are practically
dead weight to the order. together with the
pressure in financial matters throughout
the country" But in another portion OF
the address 1t is shown that the loss by
death alone for the year was more than 1000.
which was the greatest from that source
ever known in the history OF the order.
The decline thus begun may be expected
to continue from year to year. by slow gra-
dations at first. and then rapidly Com

In good standing. and 449.5 54 in all. de-
crease of 1000 Is small; but Its significance
Is in marking the turn OF the tide. The
Grand Army need not fear any loss of re-
nown or of national gratitude in its days OF
decline. Perhaps. rs the years go by. it
may find itself less cajoled or attacked. and
becoming a smaller and smaller factor in
politics. but it's dwindling reunions will
show no falling Off in the feeling Of COM
radeship. or Of enthusiasm for 1t In the
hearts OF the people.

protective tariff without revenue. A tariff
built In accordance with these false ideas
would be the resultant OF all the log
rolling forces that could be employed.
There would be combinations for the free
list as there have been combinations for
high duties; and the tariff would be
tumble OF favoritism and inequality. There
must be uniformity OF rate or there will be
injustice; and there can be no deadheads
at tho Custom House. The free list Is
relic OF protectionism. Raising revenue,
not cutting off revenue. Is the object OF
tariff for revenue only. These gentlemen
with free list on the brain seem to think q
deficit is the object Of tariff for revenue
only. There is deficit enough now.

Tho First Gun.

At Akron to-day the Hon. WILLIAM Mo
KINLEY will mike the formal opening Of
the great Ohio campaign between protec-
ton and the tariff for revenue only. Akron
% one OF those towns that have been built
mp under protection. 1t has lourished by
the spoliation OF the great majority OF the
American people for the benefit OF the few.
No doubt the manufacturers Of Akron will
send their workmen to the great MCKIN-
LEY opening. and the other protected towns
OF eastern Ohio will also have their delega-
tions on hand. To remove any possible
uncertainty as to the character and object
OF the Ohio canvass. collection of
howlers for protection will be imported
from Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has no in
terest In State campaign in Ohio. but the
Pittsburgh manufacturers jump at the
chance to get another hearing for the
dscredited and deciduous system Of uncon-
stitutional favoritism and fraud-so pro-
nounced by the Democratic party-and
gladly make MCKINLEYs cause their own.
That some OF the enthusiasm is artificial
may be judged from the Cleveland Plain Deal
er's account OF the way in which the tout
ers for protectionism are passing the hat
In the highways and byways Of Cleveland:
Committees have been begging along Water and
Superior streets for two weeks for money from msr
chants and business to buy tickets for free dstr
button to the Mckinney opening meeting; and II It has
rousing delegation from Cleveland it must be attrib
uted to free ride free beer and free sandwiches"
Certainly free tickets and free beer would
be appropriate largess to be given by the
gentlemen who have been battening on the
bounty OF tho Government; but MCKINLEY
will have audience enough without these
free-lunch methods. Yet he performs no
good service to the protected manufacturers
Of Ohio in urging to last desperate. and
forlorn rally in behalf Of the policy which
the American people have condemned. and
upon which sentence of execution Is about
TO be carried out. The best thing which they
can do Is to prepare for the inevitable. While
they and MCKINLEY are raging against their
doom. the Committee on Ways and Means
will be engaged. as we sincerely trust. in
making tariff BILL constitutional. devoid
OF protection. for revenue only.
; On Thursday the campaign Of the defend
ers OF the constitutional tariff against the
forces Of robbery and spoliation will be
begun at Newark by the Hon. LAWRENCE
TALBOT NEAL. The author of the Demo-
cratic tariff plank will stand up against the
author of the eliminating atrocity Of class
legislation: and the Democrats OF Ohio will
find no weakness or uncertain sound in
their champion.
