VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Almost the Ideal State Attained.
(BostOn TranscYipt.0

The prohibition of foreign importations-
the ideal condition of prosperity for the
United States aimed at by certain classes OF
ignorant extremists-will probably never
again be more nearly reached than it has
been, oddly enough, since the repeal of the
would-be prohibitory Mckinley tariff became
possible and probable. President Cleve-
lands timely statement issued today, so re.
assuring as to the administration attitude
and temper regarding the basis of the ma,
tional currency and its credit, points out
that one result of the conditions of the past
year has been that the balance of trade,
of which so much is always made by the
ignorant classes above referred to, has
come to be enormously in our favor.
US arising from the export and import OF
merchandise, excluding gold and silver,
was $64, 552,046," he says: 1.-THE bal
ance in our favor from the same period
this year was S62 ,960.56 representing
a change in our favor of 1927 ,5l2 ,G0S.'
The Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal states the matter even more
strikingly. Says webb" ''For the ten
months ended April 80 there was a reduc-
ton in the importations of dutisble mer-
chandise to the extent of 1924 900 900. and
in the non-dutiable merchandise of $751;
900 900. making total loss as compared
with the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year of $275, 900. 900 of importa-
tons" And yet those who have been
preaching the destruction of foreign I'M
portation a. the first of patriotic duties are
not happy. webb" sees in this reduction
of importation only the recoil of vast
and topping wave that is to overwhelm
American manufactures. The working
men who look for a revival of industry and
for the opening of mills when this Demo
cratic tariff bill shall pass will find, there
fore, that the reasons which compelled so
many manufacturers to shut down, namely,
over-production or inability from some
Fcause to market goods, will not only con-
tinue, but will be intensified, and that they
will be compelled to enter competition With
the surplus stores of Europe" At any
rate, all croakefs and prophets of evil will
hope so. But where will the traditional
Quickness and enterprise of the Americans
have fed to meanwhile? The abnormal re-
ductious in wool and wages have been taken
advantage Of already by not few of our
great wooden mills to run their machinery
night and day in anticipation of the general
revival expected upon the advent of lower
prices all around, their orders at the low
prices being far ahead of their possible out
puts. Other branches of industry must
similarly find their account in lower ma
terials and the workingmen theirs in lower
prices for the necessities they consume.

An Opportunity Tor Reiormei ..

II the system of clipping" continues to
increase with the rapidity it has in the past
few years, those who get living as wage
workers and look upon wages A. their due,
will become conspicuous in comparison with
the many who will secure their remunera-
ton through "tips" and who have become
unreliable, corrupt and servile in proportion
as they depend upon this uncertain and
unmanly means Of livelihood. The system
is evidently hand-down from effete mon
archical forms of aristocracy. 1t may have
had ite origin in largesse showered upon
the recipients rather as ostentatious display
on the part of the eiver than from any inn
pulse Of generosity. Whatever its origin il
has no other xcuse for existence than other
unmitigated evils which become too strongly
fixed by habit to be shaken off. A Tip" at
first given, perhaps in pay for special ser
vices, is now bestowed because the victim
feels that he must. In the first view of il
the recipient. who was hired to do his whole
duty, is induced to neglect part Of his
duty toward all and bestow an undue meas
ure upon the person giving the tip. In the
second and prevalent view of it the recipient
will not perform the service he should until
he has received this Lubricant" 1t is a
source Of corruption from its very nature and
the purpose for which it 10 given. There il
but difference in degree between
waiter in the hotel serving you first be-
cause of tip, and leaving others who BY
right should be served before you to wait,
and the acts of the New York police in
receiving tips from saloons running without
license. All this 10 an outgrowth from the
same corrupt system. 1t has appeared be-
fore the Lexow committee that not only
must the policeman be tipped for passing
BY the bawdy house without question, be
tipped for what IL 80 flaRrantly wrong to

A Poisonous Dose.

A great many people are alarmed at
the fatal effects of the Sugar trust COM
bine and tariff reform as effected by
the United States senate. Senator Cor
man has suffered entire prostration,
while many others Of the same kind of
manipulators are seeking salt air along
the seaboard. One of the curious effects
Of this combine is the result of foreign
substances. Sugar and whisky never
were known to hurt Democrat, but the
admixture of lead and other trusts has
added poison to the dose.

A Question of Discussion.

Some enterprising gentleman has
asked as a matter Of comparison, Is the
discussion of the tariff bill by congress
greater than the discussion of congress
by the people? Congressional discussion
tends toward division, while among the
people discussion usually unites the peo-
pie on the choice of a new congress.
