Those "Innocents Abroad"

Germany is intent upon retaliation.
All because of our new tariff on ex-
port bounty-paid sugar-rather, all
because that Infant industry" the
Sugar Trust, had to be stimulated.
And then, when the JOURNAL says
sugar ought to be free, swarm of
innocents spring up and pipe-"why
that papers inconsistent. 1t wants
everything free except COAL"
Why, children. there is not shadow
of similarity in the nearest or remotest
aspect of any detail whatever between
sugar and coal.

About month ago John Sloan, son
of James Sloan, mining boss at Hoff-
man, had leg injured by mine cars.
He was not physically strong and tue
injury depressed him greatly. He be-
came unable to eat and drink, and
Saturday evening he died. He was II
youth of most exemplary habits and
enjoyed the sincere esteem of all who
knew him. The mine closed on the
day of his funeral and a large body of
people attended, number testfying
their sympathy by profuse and pretty
floral offerings.

Titus A. Brick writes the JOURNAL
that "Mr. Pink Whiskers, of Poca-

spoke across the State line the other

is dropped.' He thinks "freedom will
bring us to destruction yet, if we

The latest society dance adopted by
the American Association of Dancing
Masters, is called the "two-step

dance are pretty and the music is very

EStray.

The late act, while it places upon the free
list a considerable part of the most important
raw materials used in our manufactures, left
iron and lead ores and bituminous coal, to-
gether with several articles of less conse-
quence, still dutable, thus not only failing
to present consistent system of revenue re-
form, but leaving some of our most valuable
industries at great disadvantage as COM
pared with their rivals differently located
Hon. John G. Carlisle.
Both Mr.. Cleveland and his great
secretary have wandered far from the
salient injunction of the Chicago plat
form touching tariff reform. In that
instrument there is not n solitary
word, nor even suggestion of prom
Using anything like discrimination be-
tween protection and non-protection.
On the contrary it announces as
fundamental principle of the democratic
party that the federal government has no
constitutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties, except for the purpose Of recen"e
only.
There is not a solitary syllable in
that statement of 'tundamental prin-
clple" limiting of free raw materials.
Whatever tariff is imposed must be
for "revenue only
There must be no protection for the
benefit of a class, nor free TRUE for tie
benefit Of class.
Indeed, it seems that it there be ''no
constitutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties" for protection,
there is equally no such power to
exempt from such duties any com
modify whose importation benefits a
class at the expense of another class.
1t is poor rule that wont work both
ways, even in constitutional law.
But tariff for revenue only has
been lost sight of in the afterthought
of "free raw materials" and the still
further afterthought that local is a
raw material"
1t was long way round to reach
coal, and but for Mr.. German, who
stood squarely and solldly on the
Chicago plattorm-stoodt thereon when
Maryland and West Virginia repre-
sentatives went off and planted them
selves on ga party promise that had
never been made-the enemies of coal
would have got there.
The JOURNAL holds to It's contention,
originally made in its columns, that
coal was and is exempt from inter
ference by any pledge made in the
Chicago platform
|, Because since 1871 it has never
been protected, even under the de-
crees of McKinleyism.
=, The duty of about %! per cent.
ad ralorem was already recenue duty
fulfilling exactly the very condition to
which the Chicago platform proposed
to reduce all other dutiable com
modities.
The duty ON coal is too low now
1t is below the Chicago platform
standard. To put it on the free list is
to cruelty the very soul of the great
principle and promise which brought
the democratic party into power.

n Sample Case.

The JOURNAL has printed elsewhere
few remarks upon the democratic
platform.
A few more now upon the republican.
The latter declares that
on all imports duties should be LEVIED
equal to the difference between wages abroad
and at home.
Carroll ID. Wright, labor commits
sioner, reports, however, that the
wages cost of producing Il ton of steel
rails IN England Is 1851 in the United
States $ll ga difference of 1878,
this last sum being the exact duty
which should have been levied on steel
rails under the declaration of the
Minneapolis platform.
But IL decree of Mckinleyism fixed
that duty at $l3 .44-nearly four times
the difference between the labor costs
of the two countries.
Now, will the Cumberland Ne,cs.
which knows by quick-scentcd smell
everything that is rotten in demo-
cratic politics, tell us which is right
republican doctrine at this time-that
which the platform declares, or that
which the Mckinley Act decreed ?
While the Netcs has its hand IN, it
might state also what class of labor got
that $9.G6 of "labor cost" that the
puddlers, etc., did not get.
And especially why Ailegany county
protectionists ''stand by" that sort of
thing for steel rails, and not for coal

GOOD AND RAD.

Every rood citizen with the prosperity
OF his country at heart will read Mr.
McMillin's confident prediction that the
tariff bill will be passed in time TO so
into effect July list with pleasure. But 1t
grieyes the good citizen to hear him add
that the income tax is the strongest part
of the iii. He does not mean by this that
that feature OF the bill is the strongest
feature from the standpoint OF SOUND
political economy, but that 1t viii have
more supporters than any other pro-
vision of it. We fear that this is true,
and It is a sad augury for the future
The income feature Of the bill is a de-
liberate movement to make some men
pay a larger rate Of taxation than other
men pay. 1t is a declaration by the rep
resentatives of the people that the rich
shall contribute more towards the ex-
penses of the Government, in propo. ton
TO what they have, than the poorer men
do. If his is once c~ountenanced In our
legislation 1t will prove to be an enter
ing wedge. II opens the way to Com
munism and Socialism. Politics from that
day on will be nothing but a contest for
the extension of the principle. If money
may be u~njustly taken from one class OF
citizens for the public benefit it is but
one step further to take 1t from them
for private benefit. and as soon as thai
principle is admitted our civilization
turns backward, and we m re-
trograding TO another dark age.
