this year we ought not to have had
the alternative OF half loaf or no
bread.
All in all, the new act, with the one
exception of free wool, brings no iuci-
sive change. Doubtless il is wise pol
icy TO make haste slowly with the re-
form of the tariff. Any great lowering
in the barriers we have erected against
foreign trade, not TO mention their
complete removal and the attainment
of completely free trade, must be ac-
complished by gradual and tentative
steps. While the extent to which man
ufacturing industries are dependent on
the tariff is much exaggerated, and
the disturbing effects of radical chan
yes is even more exaggerated, due
regard must in fairness be shown TO
vested interests, and due opportunity
be given for accommodation TO new con-
diticns. But it is not necessary TO
proceed so gingerly as in the present
act. As time goes on, further changes
will be made, until eventually the
question may be not whether We are
10 have more or less Of protection, but
whether We are TO have protection or
free trade. The accidents of the polit-
zeal arena must decide when the next
step in the remodelling of our tariff
system shall take place; but those who
believe the basis OF our extreme pro-
tective regime to be bad will not rest
content with the changes now made +;
nor need they be frightened by the
protests against further agitation and
disturbance of trade. Such ghosts as
those of the surrender to the Sugar
Trust will not down. For two years
the tariff question is settled, but il is
inevitable that in 1895 the question
should recur as to the mode in which
the protective system shall be once
more overhauled.

lower duty than that which we now
have.
The pig-iron duty and the changes
msde in il by the Senate are typical.
The drift of the new rates on metals
and manufactures of metal is toward a
very careful pruning. The House has
adopted system of al rGiorsm duties
varying from 20 TO . per cent; the
Senate substituted specific duties of
the old sort, somewhat abated in
amount. In comparatively few cases
were the House rates retained, or, if
somewhat advanced, still left in al
ralOrs7 form. The al rGiOrem method
is far from faultlesS, and, indeed, from
the simple administrative point of
view, is 10 be unequivOcally con-
demned. But specific duties have the
defect, grave under our system of gov
eminent by public opinion, of not tell
ing their own tale. Their meaning
and incidence are often known only TO
s few persons versed in the details OF
some intricate trade, and they give
for that manipulation of
legislation in favor of private interests
which is the greatest evil OF our day.
Hence the prediction of tariff-re-
formers for al UdiOreH rates, notwith-
standing the administrative Difficult
ties they entail; hence the suspicious
which the retenSion of the specific sys-
tenn aroused. As matters stand in the
new act, we can only be sure that if
abuses exist in the intricate figures

REGARDING FREE COAL.

80 far as their direct effects are con-
cerDed, the coal and iron-Ore duties
are bad. vet not so bad in their guam
titive effects as IN their violation of
principle. Free coal would mean
some gain to New England and some
gain to the Pacific coast; but in
neither region is it likely that very
large increase in impOrtations would
follow the repeal Of the duty. As to
iron ore, the immediate question is
largely one between the smelling
works close TO the Atlantic shore and
the irOn-ore producers Of the Lake
superior region. The former want
ther ore free Of duty; the latter want
TO sell their product as far east as they
can. \ remission of the duty would
rebound first to the profit of certain
Eastern steel-makers, aud would filter
through to the pockets of the people
only by slow steps, hard to trace in
detail. But this Is the case with
every improvement in the arts which
eheapens the things used in the first
stages Of production. A cheapening
Of coal and iron ore first helps the
makers Of the crude iron and steel,
and tends in due time TO lower the
price Of their product. This tends to
cheaper machinery; this tends to
cheaper goods; the final benefit to
the public comes at the end of q long
process. Yet no changes in the arts
during the last century have been so
far-reaching in their effects as those
which have cbeapened coal and iron,
the two great instruments of civiliza-
ton; and every obstacle to free Do
dUctiOu aud free trade in them is
harmful.
Turning to the next important item
among mineral products, We find pig
iron subject to a duty of 81 ton. The
House has made the duty 20 per cent;
the Senate substituted the specific
duty. The Old rate had been S6.72 a
ton, 50 tina. there appears to be an
appreciate reduction. a reduction
there Is, but not sufficient to be of
much consequence. The great bulk
OF our pig-iIOn il sure to be produced
at home IN any case. Twenty years
ago, even ten years ago, q change
such as now made would have been of
moment. At present it is only at
some points on the northern Atlantic
seabOaId and on the Pacific coast,
which happen to be remote from the
domestic producers, that any import
alton Of pig-iron would take place
even with no duty at all. At s1ch
points the barrier i lowered bit, but
not enough to affect the situation
seriously. Under the House rate Of
20 per cent, equivalent to specific
duty Of about g, it would have been
lowered still more. In certain official
calculations the new duty, as settled
IN the Senate, is put down as equiva-
lent to an dd UdIOrem rate of 10 per
cent, and so would appear to be lower
than that fixed by the House. But
these calculations rest on the prices
of certain exceptional and expensive
kinds of iron imported in very small
quantities for mixing. On the great
bulk Of the iron used in trade the
House rate would have meant q

AN INSIGNIFICANT CHARGE.
With free wool We have considers
almost the only consistent and
raightfOrwaTd step in the new legis-
latiOn-the only one that could fairly
be said 10 mark new epoch in tariff
| history. Some other raw materials
are, indeed, similarly treated. Lum-
I Der Is admitted free, and this is anoth-
I er step in the right direction. But the
duty on lumber had been compare
/ lively light, and the objections to il so
clear that even the Mckinley Act had
raised none Of the lumber duties, and
had gone so far as TO lower some of
| them. Raw tax and hemp are 10 come
IN free; but the imports are small, and
likely 10 remain small, and the change
Is OF no gresl consequence. Copper,
too, goes on the free list-a long
delayed act Of justice. The time Of
the worst Of the copper duties has gone
by, and the immediate results of this
change will again not be great, but a
recurrence Of the abuses of the past is
at least prevented.
On the other hand, as the debates Of
the last two months have made known
10 all OF Us, coal and iron remain on
the dutiable list. These are raw ma
terialS, if there are such; and the same
principle that called for free wool
called with equal strength for free coal
and iron. The House bill had made
them free; in the Senate q moderation
Of the duties was all that could be Sc
cured. Both had been subject TO duty
at the rate Of Seventy-fye cents q ton;
both are now to pay forty cents q
ton.
That coal and iron should be subject
70 duty while wool Is free, Is due to
the combined action Of two very diff
ferent cause.-the pressure of private
interests, on the one hand, and, on the
other, the slOwness with which, under
