TARIFF REFORM.
Result OF tho Rso>nt Elections In
Australia.

Result OF the Rso>nt Elections In
Australia.
New York Times: There was q gen.
eral election in the Australian colony
OF Victoria on September Goth, and the
dominant issue was tariff reform. There
had been popular movement for q re-
duction of duties. The Victorian tariff
had been increased three times in the
past eight vearH. In 1887 the ad
vklorem standard was % per cent; in
1889 it became IS per cent; and in 1892
it WAS advanced to so per cent. The
popular demand this year was for q
large reduction.
The result OF this election has been
misrep presented by the high tariff press
in this country. For example. the
Cleveland, o., Leader. the organ of Mo-
Kinley in his own state, in an editorial
article designed to encourage Mckinley.
ism In the United States, speaks OF the
contest in Victoria 90 follows:
1.-The elections have been held, and the
result ia the complete defeat OF the lows
tariff party. This is the lstest voice
from the very intelligent and wide
awake island continent of the antipodes
on the tariff question. and it ia q dec.
laration made after many years OF OPP
portunity to contrast the working OF the
two policies OF free trade and protection
side by side in rival colonies"
How are the readers OF the Leader to
find out that at the recent election q
majority OF the members elected to the
Victorian parliament were in favor of
that reduction OF the tariff which Q
marked preponderanoe of public opin-
ion demanded? But this is the truth.
OF the "a members, So are on that side
of the question. Does this indicate the
complete defeat of the low.tarif
party?
We invite the attention OF the Leader
and Of those who may have been de-
ceived by the reports and comments OF
the Mckinley press to the following ex.
tract from the leading editorial Of the
Melbourne Argus. the foremost journal
OF the colony, on the day following the
election:
"As a result OF yesterdays polling

try. The one is that the high tariff
reign is over and that the tariff must

not touching him. He made q paes at

on his jaw and partly on his chest. Il
was a very light blow indeed. He
reached for me with his right and left,
which avoided by jumping back. That

men might. IL not bterfered with by any
untoward Influences, finish the structure
on the day before Independence day Of

IS 1-3 men, made up as follows: On Mon
day Al men, on Tuesday IS. on Wednesday
AZ. on Thursday As. on Friday As. on Sat-
urday 40, total Of 26O during the six days.
This is the highest average since The Star 8
