on March IS, and also asks them to join
in the procession to the meeting place.
The Chronicle says that the retire
ment Of Mr.. Gladstone is imminent. 1t
Is almost an open secret that his eye
sight is no longer equal to even the
least important duties of a political
leader. ALI stories of dissension or
disappointment at the legislation
being baked may be dismissed
as wholly unaffecting his decision.
When Mr.. Gladstone resigns the wand
it will De because his hand can no
longer WELD ii, and for no other reason
whatever. 1t is probable that no de-
cision has yet been reached as
to the moment of his resignation.
1t is announced that MIR. Sexton. N. p.
for Kerry. has already taken steps to
obtain pledges with regard TO home rule
III the event OF Lord Rosebery or the
Earl OF Spencer becoming premier.
The Daily News says that Mr. Glad
stone has taken no step in the direction
of resigning. The Earl of Rosebery's
visit to the queen had no relation, it
adds. TO the current political rumors.
The Daily News, further commenting
on the rumorS about Mr. Gladstone,
says that in view of his age it is only
right that the Liberals should
consider the future. If the infrm-
tiles of age make his onerous
duties irksome, it would be in
human to keep Mr.. Gladstone at
his post merely because of difference
OF opinion prevailing in reference TO the
choice of his successor. The Daily
News then strongly recommends the
Earl OF RoseberY, but adds that there
will be no whisper of discomfort with
Mr.: Gladstone's supremacy SO long as
he is willing to remain supreme.

REPUBLICAN EDITORS OR.
CANNING.

The Republican editors of Minnesota
no longer propose to be dominated by
the political bosses. In fact. they pro-
pose to do little domination them
selves.
When the GLOBE exposed the scheme
of the Republican bosses to go outside
OF the state to secure newspaper lltera-
ture to educate the people. it met with
the hearty cooperation Of the press
throughout the state in denunciation of
the plan. And, thanks to the GLOBE,
the Republican papers were saved from
the contamination OF the insulting prop
ostiou.
AS further result they are now pre-
pairing TO organize a Republican press
association, as many other states have
done.
hereafter, when the Republican poll
ticians wish to set up the pins, they
will first take into consideration what
the views and wishes of the Republican
papers, acting in unison, may be.
As there has been some doubt relative
to securing all audience for Mckinley
when he appears at Minneapolis, the
Republican editorial association is to
meet OH that date III the same city to
make its organization.
Though MckinIey's audience may not
be overwhelming in numbers, this
movement renders it absolutely certain
that it will be positively astounding in
intellect.

WHAT 1T COSTS.

a correspondent writes to know ''the
amount actually necessary to get dol
lar into the treasury of the United
States from import duties," and also
asking for some Illustrations Of the pro-
portion of income from this source to
cost of collecting the same.
If the inquiry is for the cost which is
seen, that which appears on the treasury
accounts, of collecting the customs du-
ties as an aggregate. the answer is that
the average of late years is about 8 per
cent; for the year 1892 it was 3.74 per
cent. There are many ports of entry
where the cost of collection enormously
exceeds the duties collected; the Natchez
district, for instance, collects some $500,
and salaries and expenses amount to
about $1,000. Such instances are very
frequent, and, generally, aside from the
large ports of entry, the expense Of col
Letting exceeds the revenue. This is,
however, one Of the unavoidable defects
of tariff system which requires, guards
at every possible point of entry to pre-
vent smuggling.
If, however, our correspondent means
the cost OF collecting the customs reve
nue. which is not seen, ne asks ques-
ton incapable of precise answer. The
direct cost is that paid by the importer;
the unseen cost is that increased cost of
the domestic goods which the increased
cost OF the competing. taxed article en- :
ables the domestic maker to charge.
This has been variously estimated, and
the opinion Of men who have given the
matter close study is that, in this in
creased cost occasioned by the tariff,
the entire expense to the consumer of
getting dollar of imposts into the
treasury is five dollars. A more
conservative estimate made by the New
York Evening Post few years ago
placed the cost at So.
If the tax is prohibitive, as it has
been for years on many things of COM
mon use, then the domestic makers can
increase prices to a point just below the
tax limit, and the treasury gets nothing.
while the consumers pay the indirect
tax and direct bonus to the makers.
If the tax is competitive-that is. if i'm
ports are possible under tit shows
lldt uOuleSbiC pAiSOo aiO duJ uotOo W lhO
tax limit, and the home makers are get
ting the benefit. Even if the tax laid
be designed solely to produce revenue,it
has inevitably an incidental protection
in the increase it adds to the cost of the
imported article, and as long as human
nature remains as it now is and has
always been the home makers will en-
dpayor tn adyanpa the nricpS Of their
wares to the competitive point. tits
this feature which makes tariff tax at
once the most expensive ever devised
and the most pernicious, as no man
ever realizes what it makes him pay
except when he is the importer of the
article for his own use. Otherwise the
tax is merged and becomes lost in cost

building or wrecking of railroad or the
imposition of taxes.
So, when it was coming near the time
when the Democracy Of the nation
should choose candidate for president
two years ago, the senator regarded 1t
as matter in which sentiment was of
no account, aud where the practical
thing to do was to select candidate
who, first, could win, and secondly,
who, if he won, wouldn't 90 in pursuit
of dashed sentimentality and smash
the comfortable arrangements whereby
the government was aiding in making
the fortunes of gentlemen like himself
who had investments i'll coal and irou
mines and mills.
Inspired with this view. the senator
formed that notable Junta of extremely
practical statesmen. German, Hill and
himself, who used 10 meet i'll the early
days Of 1892 and plan means and ways
by which the sentimentalists of the
party, who were insisting on policy
very close to free trade, and who had
set up a gentleman named Cleveland as
their candidate. might be defeated, and
the various mining and other interests
of these practical men be conserved.
Two of these gentlemen, as the conn
try knows, were firmly OF the opinion
that il the sentimentalists or idealists
could be thwarted, and their candidate
set aside, either one of them was the fit
man to be the candidate of the practical
bles, and the country hasn't yet finished
laughing at the astute manner In which
the two, Hill and German, played against
each other while playing to beat Cleve-
land and the idealists. If it we're posi-
BILE for such statesmen to learn. they
would not now he sneering at the doc
trinaires of their party at whose hands
the three got such terrific drubbing at
Chicago.
So it is not at all a question whether
the gentlemen constituting the subcom-
mittee of the finance committee OF the
senate are eX-rebels, or whether they
are idealists; but it is very much ques-
| ton whether the bill as they shape it
is more OF less stride in the direc-
ton ordered by the national party at
Chicago. dominated though that was by
| the dreamerS and Missionaries OF the
party. We take this occasion to assure
| these gentlemen, and especially the
gentleman from New York or Ohio, it
matters nothing which, that if they
carry their notions of the practical to
the extent of injecting into the tariff
bill more of the virus of protection than
the house, we still think, mistakenly
left in it. they are taking the surest
steps they can to bring about tenn
porary defeat of the party they misrep-
resent, and ultimately to insure the
control of the senate, the house and the
presidency by these same idealists
whom they despise, who will come, in
obedience to the command of an out.
ragged people, and obedient to them. to
wipe. with one stroke, every vestige of
| protection from the tariff, and. it is
more than probable. to wipe all tariff
legislation from the statutes.
