NO TARIFF ISSUE IN ,oe.

The Republican, papers of the coun-
try started out upon the task of arous-
ing popular interest in the tariff ques-
ton with the purpose of making that
the issue of 1896. The effort was how
ever, abortive. The conservative Re
publican press and independent jour
ais without exception or stint con-
demned an effort TO renew litigation
on a subject which appears now to be
settled at least to the temporary salts
fatcion of the commercial world. The
Democrats voiced a willingness to meet
their opponents on this issue if de-
sired, alleging that the tariff in opera
ton now is. after all, encountered in
many respects with high protective
features which might be modified to
the advantage of our industries and
asserting that the most successful fea-
lures of the business situation, so far
as affected by the tariff, result from
the features of the Wilson bill which
are most nearly in accord with free
trade ideas.
The New York Tribune. the arch ex-
pOlteiHL VI prONeCltOll' states lie SICud-
ton fairly as follows:
The facts will have to dictate, how
ever, in spite of all politicians and
plan-makers, and if business and in
dustries do actually prosper, giving 10
industries greater development and to
labor better wages than were ever ait

publicanS Will have to face that fact,

pie for a change of tariff will fade

RUNAWAY MARRIAGES.

One of the great evils of the times
is the facility with which runaway
couples can become legally united in
matrimony. Elopements are generally
without excuse. There may be rare
occasions in which they are justified.
Commonly they are to be deprecated
and discouraged. Marriage should be
entered upon with due care and with
respect to the law and the rules of
society, which are usually the rules of
decency.
1t is not surprising that secular Of
ficials authorized by law to unite in
secular marriage persons who appear
to comply with the legal requirements,
should be ready and even anxious, in
order to secure the customary fee, to
act in that capacity when called upon.
If they are not over particular in their
inquiries it is not to be greatly Won
dered at. But the course pursued by
some so-called ministers of the gospel
in this particular, is disgusting to
people who have regard for the sacred
office of clergyman. In numerous in
stances they have encouraged rather
than checked the spirit of elopement
and have aided runaway children to
escape the vigilance of parents object
ing to their marriage.
From a discourse recently delivered
by Bishop Nicholson, of Milwaukee, it
appears that there are some Wisconsin
clergymen living near the border of
Minnesota who have run a very lively
business in performing the marriage
ceremony for couples clipping from the
adjacent state. The fact has been
made public that out of $50 persons
married in the town Of Hudson only "a
were residents of that place and nearly
all the others came from Minnesota.
That is a terribly big list of run
Always from one state in a, single year.
The Herald would not say a word to
discourage lawful matrimony. On the
contrary we think that marriage ought
to be encouraged. But it is very sell
dom that runaway unions are neces-
sary and still more seldom that they
result in happiness to the parties.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure"
is an old saying and it is very true.
And it is a shame that men who oc-
cupy the position of teachers of public
and private morality and Christian
conduct, should lend themselves for
pelf to the promotion of the evils that
come from hasty and i'll advised and
doubtfully lawful unions Of the sexes.

"a CLEAN CAMPAIGN

A clean campaign will please the
decent people in both political parties
in this territory. What we and they
would mean by that is, a campaign
free from gross personalities, from
false statements, and from those tricks
and subterfuges which frequently
enter into a political contest. The
Herald will do its part in endeavoring
to maintain the purity of elections and
the purity of the campaign preceding
the coming election. AT any rate it
but will be compelled in self defence
to respond with vigor if assailed by the
opposition.
But a clean campaign is not one
which starts out by calling men on the
other side freaks and frauds and
their followers purchased slaves" and
the territory or state in which they
work for party ends. a rotten
borough"
A clean campaign will be one in
which principles will be advocated and
the qualifications and abilities of can
didates will be held up to view. An
exposition and REPUTATION of the tenets
held by the opposition, and reasons
why til men whom they hold up for
the suffrages of the people should
not be elected, are legitimate for use
in a clean campaign.
When a man presents himself, or is
presented by his friends, before the
public as a candidate for election to
any important office, his qualifications
or disqualification for that Office are
proper subjects for discussion on the
platform and through the press, but
that does not include villification,
SANDER and abuse. If our neighbor
that now calls for clean campaign
will practice its own precept, it will
be a good thing and it will also be
new thing under the sun.
Let US have a clean campaign by all
means, and let public speakers and
public writer's aim TO enlighten the
masses and spread political informa-
ton. instead of endeavoring to confuse
the public mind, accusing political OPP
ponents of all kinds of offences, and
making of what should be a fair con-
test between men and parties dis
graceful exhibition of spite and men
dacity. A clean campaign can be had
if the chief men on both sides are de-
termined to have it so.

AN UNEQUAL DEBATE.

A SOLID INDUSTRIAL REVIVAL.

The midsummer pig iron staustlcs scht
in by the manufacturers to the American
Iron and Steel association aILoru tne
hest possible indication of trade conol-
tions. They all tend to show the SUD-
stantial basis of the present industrial re
vival, and that it is entirely natural anu
not speculative. 80,
Generally speaking, the iron and steel
industries are the first to feel restrlc-
tons due to depression in the market or
the baIeful effects of overproduction
which pile the stocks high I'M the yards
to wait a demand. 1t is especially slgnl.
ficant therefore, of the even growth OF
trade in all channels, which began
on June go 1895, were less by 15S.SSS tons
than in December last The standing
product is now 439, 300 tons with steady
call upon this reserve. and no better in
dication Of steady and healthy improve
ment in business and commercial centres
can be had.
The record of the past six months
shows a total production of 4,9S1,A7S gross
tons,as against 2,717, 9SS tons in the first
half of 1884, a gain of 1,369575 tons, or
quite 80 per cent. This product includes
2, 402, 023 gross tons of Bessemer pig. iron
or IS per cent of the total. At this
same rate the year will show an output
of 100000 tons. It is possible 70 nass the
great year of 1892 when 9,l57, 900 tons was
the gross production.
To appreciate more thoroughly the
meaning of such cheerful figures the
trade need but refer to the year 1894,
the difference in the product is the index

SUNDAY LAW IN NEW YORK.

Viewing from this distance the con-
test which is waging in New York con-
corning the vigorous enforcement of
the Sunday closing laws and ordinanc-
es by Commissioner Roosevelt and his
associates, we conclude that the COM
missioner has in every respect the better

to his critics who demand that the
laws be kept imperative, that they
nave always been enforced but not
equally or justly; he states that it has

times of the division movement that
our esteemed contemporary was the
unccmpromising unchallenged, mag

draughts from the fountains of his
eloCuence.
But a change came DER the spirit of
this dream The idol which had been
supposed to stand firmly upon d
