NOT THE BILL THEY WANT.

According to the Washington Star the
managers of the tariff compromise are
having some trouble with the more radl-
cal tariff reformer wing of the party in
the Senate, who do not accept with
good grace the new concessions that are
to be made to the manufacturers In the
compromise bill under discussion. Both
Senators Mills and Coke of Texas are un-
derstood to be quite displeased with
these amendments. They will both
vote for the bill with the amendments
included, but they will give their adhe-
sion unwillingly. Senator Coke has
made no secret of his opposition to the
amendments and has not failed to &C.
quaint the compromise engineers with
his feeling on the subject. He protested
in the most. vigorous terms against the
amendments, and has coupled his pro-
test with the assertion that there were
ha,+ dozen protection Senators on the
Democratic side, who were shaping the
bill, and who have made it necessary to
make an undemocratic and protective
bill in order to pass any bill at all. He
tells them that he will vote for the bill
as it shall be reported, but that it is not
the bill he wants, and the bill which
tariff reformers had right to expect
from the pledges made by the Demo-
cratic party.
Mills and Coke are quite right. The
tariff bill is not only not what tariff re-
formers have right to expect, but it
outrages all the avowed principles of
the Democratic party. 1t is full of sar-
render to trusts and to the policy which
the Democrats in their national conyen-
ton declared to be robbery. Instead of
combining taxation to the necessities of
the government, economically admins
tered, in it's unamendedsfo when many
articles were on the free list which have
since been made dutiable. Senator Voor-
hees declared that it would produce a
revenue in excess of the needs of the
government by 500, 100000 In it's pres
emit form it will produce PROBABLY much
more. If Mills and Coke had the cour.
age of their CONVICTIONS they would re-
fuse to support it in its present.forn.

Scion Chase's principal complaint
seems to be that there is too much hog"
in the dollar-that is, that the purchas-
ing power of our money is too great.
That is grievance, however, that the
wage Garner is not likely to get stirred
up over. The greater the purchasing
power OF the dollar the better he will
like it If he is wise. A deprecated dol
lar affects the wage Garner more unfavor-
ably than any other class in the COM
munity, because wages are the last thing
to rise, SO that long after the purchasing
power Of the dollar has declined he is
receiving the same number of them for
his days work. Uncle Solon's argu-
ments are conceived fromsthe standpoint
of an agriculturist who has produetssto
sell, and when he fires them off before
an urban population they don't fit.

One Of the allegations made by the
Democrats against the Mckinley bill was
that it "robbed the mauy for the benefit
of the few" In the imposition of an
eighth of cent on refined sugar Tor the
benefit of the Sugar Trust it looks as if
the Democrats had laid their amended
tariff bill open to precisely the same
charge with equal reason. But we
suppose the Democrats file in offset the
income tax, which has been tackled on
to the bill ana which avowedly robs the
few for the benefit of the many. Instead
of eliminating robbery from che tariff
law, as they promised, they have left
practically all the old robbery there was
in the law and introduced a new species
in addition.
