New York Sun: We salute our esteemed
Democratic contemporary, the Phlladel-
phia Record. upon its final arrival after
years of rumiaati0n and friction with the
tariff, at the threshold Of the true Demo-
cratic doctrine. The evidence Is in TINS
remark:
The sun will hardly insist that
aarln for revenue only must be necessa-
rlly constructed so as to tax everything
brought into the country. Revenue enough
| can be gotten from a few things
The sun insists most emphatcally and
has insisted from the first without either
hesitation or missiying. that consti-
iudonal tariff for revenue only demands
revenue from everything imported, with
out exception Discrimination in taxing
imports which toieratcs individual judy
ment and individual motives other than
the desire for revenue is the very secret
Of protection. The protectionist claiming
a cons ltutiOnal right 10 lay a tariff for
other ends than revenue. can adjust du-
ties with q paternalistic eye 10 domestic
advantages, weigh one interest against
another, and deal out the favor and op-
preston OF a despOt free to humor MS
personal opinion. But the idea OF reVe-
nue. that must prevail in the Democratic
tariff brooks no company. 1t must stand
alone and govern all, for veal or woe.
New York Times: Senator Jones. VINO
has been the "whip" Of the tarin~reform
Democrats. is reported in our dispatches
this morning as saying that the "end IS
in sight" and Senator Harris is said to
have added that the collection Of taxes
under the new bill Will begin with the
first day Of the new fiscal year. July lst
This prospect gives these gentlemen gre,r
satisfaction. when they think of the
weary weeks that have dragged by since
the tariff bin came from the House. and
it is not surprising that they are gratifed.
