DEMOCRATIC FAILURE.
Distrust and Defeat the Portion Of the
Party In Power.

Distrust and Defeat the Portion Of the
Party In Power.
The acceptance by the house Of rep
resentatives of the senate tariff bill is
a surrender cf the democratic party to
small coterie of senators who have
beer the actiye agents of the sugar
trust. 1t is the defeat of the just ex-
pectations of the people who placed
the democratic party in power in both
the executive and legislative branches
of the government, believing that it
would reform the tariff. This disap-
pointment has been anticipated but
the contempt and anger which it has
aroused viii hot be the less for that
reason. The democratic party has
failed TO perform what it has itself
declared again and again to be its
mission. Is has, therefore, invited dis
trust and defeat, and will assuredly
receive it's just deserts. What hope
1t has for the future lies in the prom
ised blundering of republican politi-
clans like ex-Speaker Reid and Sena-
tor Lodge, who are endeavoring to ne
goiate an alliance with the populists.
1t may be that It's defeat and it's mis-
cradle and abject condition will at
least teach it the wisdom which it
ought U have learned many years ago,
and that it will now rid itself of the
leaders who have always invited dis
trust OF. it, retarding it's progress, and
at last turned its victory into ashes.
1t mus be confessed that so much
courage and wisdom are not to be ex-
pected of it confidently. The imbe-
cility which. attended the steps of the
tariff bill does not inspire hope. If
the democratic party were wise it
would not have adopted the populist
income tax. If it were courageous it
would not have accepted the bill
with the sugar trust schedule in
It, 1t would have continued to fight
for it's principles with such vigor
and such sincerity that the Germans,
Brices, Smiths. Murphys and Hills
would have recognized at last that
they could no longer successfully pose
as democrats. 1t has done nothing
but yield There is nothing in the
official record of the national demo
cratic party to show that German,
Brice and Smith will not again be able
to pledge it to Louisiana or any other
protectionists with whom they may
make a bargain.
What the effect of all this may be
on national politics it is too early to
determine. The tariff question is at
rest for the moment, and there will be
no further agitation of it during Mr..
Cleveland's administration On other
questions the drift of events will set
tie the attitude of parties. This much,
however, Is certain, that for the first
time in the history of the country a
single monopoly, audacious, insolent
and confessedly corrupt, has succeeded
in debating to congress a law affecting
the general welfare, the revenues OF
the government and the tariff policy
of the country. And for this consum-
nation the democratic party is respon.

UNDER PROPOSED TARIFF.


More than half the present specific
duties are retained, and in sixteen
cases they are made compound, while
twelve new specific duties are added,
so that of wholly or partly specific du-
ties there are 440, against 745 in the
present tariff. This suff1ces to show
how little respect has been paid to the
great democratic principle. But in
159 cases specific duties are changed
to ad valorem, and in s3 the articles
are made free. Out of 1913 compound
duties S4 are made ad valorem, only 81
retained in compound form and 8 are
made purely specific. Out of 315 ad
valorem duties in the present tariff
$50 are retained in the same form,
though mainly at different rates; only
"a are made free, and is omittep ap-
parently by mistake, but 10 new ad
valorem duties are added, including 4
on sugar and others on fans, umbrella
ribs, dates. olives, pineapples, orchids,
and apparently on diamonds, though a
legislator Of the class which sprinkles
IN punctuation marks as from a pepper
box put semicolon after the word
diamonds, making 1t question of liti-
cation whether they are not admitted
free.
The transfers to the free list include

Its Para,yzing Effects on New Branche
of Industry.

Its Para,yzing Effects on New Branches
of Industry.
The new democratic tariff is dis
tinctly not democrats tariff In prin-
ciple. In important portions it treats
all democratic principles and pledges
with absolute contempt. In spots it is
really and highly protective, and the
favors granted to a few monopolies are
all the worse because other industries
with which they have relations or com
pete are ground into the dust under
free trade theories. Thus one manl,-
facturer of certain kinds of steel is en-
abled by high duties to pay his hands
as high wages as they have received,
or even higher, while other mlnufact-
urers of steel in the same neighbor-
hood, producing different articles. are
forced 10 reduce wages 80 per cent. or
shut up. The favored monopoly can
thus get labor cheaper, because thou
sands doing similar work will be
thrown out of employment. even while
he can realize great profit without
any reduction. But while favoring
some interests, the bill of sale pro-
fesses to be protective in almost every
part, and it's profession is generally
fraudulent.
The democratic theory that specific
duties are deceptive and wrong in
principle this tariff disregards wherev-
er it finds particular interest that its
trainers wish to aid But a perfect
comprehension of the fact that ad
valorem duties open the way to fraud,
and thus render protection unreal and
untrustworthy, is shown in the choice
of such duties wherever an interest
was to be slaughtered while a show
was to be made of defending it. Thus
the rice of Carolina has the real de-
fense of specific duties; the animals
and breadstuffs of Northwestern farm
ers have only the bogus defense Of
ad valorem duties. New specific du-
ties are created for favored interests:
on round wire, for instance, blasting
powder, photographic plates on card
board, cigar labels, red pepper, and the
duties on cotton goods are more fully
specific than those of the present tar
iff, while the great woOlen industry is
lett to destruction with only ad val
orem duties, and nearly ali the duties
on cutlery, flax and linens, leather,
buttons, boiler plate, hoop iron, chains,
fence and corset wire, nails, firearms
and railway fish plates are ad valorem,
and leave producers at the mercy of
fraudulent importations. The follow
ing shows the character of the duties
in the present tariff and the character
of the duties on the same articles un-
der the proposed tariff:

Out of S4OO, ,o69, ,65s imports now duti-

ties on these are expected to be re-
duced from S1S4, 900, 600 to S135, ,772, 1877,
reduction of 26.5 per cent. The
changes are calculated to destroy i'm
portant branches of manufacture in
chemicals, metals, fax and hemp,
woolens and sundries, besides those
which the heavy reductions of duty
will affect. But in place Of S4s, $50. .s2s
taken from duties on articles remain
ing dutiable, and S13, 761, ,436 taken off
from articles made free, the sugar and
