which we trade is obnoxious to every
principle of free and enlightened peo-
pie.
If we as people are not competent to
establish some system from. which the
government derives its revenue, bear
ing equally and in proportion to the pos
sessions of the individual members or
citizenship of this country that makes
government necessary, then we are in
capable of self government. Trade be-
tween nations is governed by fixed prin-
ciples of the laws of trade, not statutory,
but controlled by the demand and sup
ply. II makes no difference what arti-
cles we have for export, if they are UNI
justly Disseminated against by a pro-
hibtory tariff, the nation that adopts
laws of trade will punish them and the
laws of trade will soon in obedience
to their wants rectify the wrong imposed
upon us. If we have the articles of
food necessary to another nation and
that nation adopts prohibitOry laws
against the import of such food products,
the law Of demand, which is more mex
orable than statutory law, will compel
the repeal of all such prohibitOry laws.
Let the laws of trade, of supply and de-
mand, adjust our commerce with foreign
countries and not such rctaliatOry laws
as Mr.. Micklejoin proposes, which in the
last analysis is n violation of these in
cXOrable laws of trade, which in the end
will force obedience to their natural adj
justments of the International trade re-
lations Of all commercial countries.

RETALIATORY TARIFFS VIOLATE
TRADE LAWS.

The bill of Congressman Micklejoin of
Nebraska, which proposes II system of
reciprocity tariff legislation, is nothing
more nor less than Il bill enabling the
president of the United States of his
own sweet will to retaliate on any for
eign legislation unfavorablc to our eX-
ports. 1t seems to us Il very small
thing for great commercial nation to
seek to derive its revenue by retaliation
by adopting a shifting system of taxa
ton to be controlled by the caprice of
the president. At least it is not states
manship.
This country is great enough in prod
ucts and wealth to adopt its own system
of taxation for revenue and make it per-
manent. The people of these United
States have expressed their disapproba
ton of protective tariff for any other
purposes than for revenue. They do
not believe in any system of taxation,
however covert and concealed by forms,
that makes it necessary for agriculture
to pay bonus to manufacturers in order
to encourage that line of enterprise, and
they have so expressed themselves in
defeating for congress so universally the
old members who foistcd the Mckinley
tariff law upon the country. The farm
er does not relish the idea of taking II
part of the money derived from the sale
of the products of the soil that he has
wrung from il by the labor of his hands
and absolutely contributing il to the man
ufacturer by an additional sum being
added to everything necessary for him
to purchase; and having rejected and re-
pudiated the whole system of Mckinley
taxation, he is not willing to adopt any
part of the system to be used on Il small
scale to punish Germany or any other
country for its prohibitory laws against
our diseased beef.
The principle of retaliation to he en-
grated upon system from which the
government derives its revenue is bad
''per Sc" and the system from which
il is derived is not in accordance with
the principle of a republican govern
ment that gives every one of its citizens,
no matter of what occupation, the equal
rights and advantages of every other
citizen. The idea of a great nation like
this deriving its revenue from spoila-
ton of the goods of the nations with

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

On general principles the news coming
from Washington to the effect that con
grcss will soon adjourn will be received
| with glad acclaim everywhere. The in
finite amount of talk that is INDUCED in
at the nations capital causes a deep
seated feeling of disgust to very gencr-
ally permeate the people of this country
| regardless of political parties. So that
the time when congress adjourns is
taken as the most appropriate time for
general rejoicing. But the unprecedent-
ed early adjournment predicted for this
year comes not alone as blessing to the
dear people, but it is a boon to congress-
men who have fences to repair before
the time for election rolls around. Nor
is this the only induccment for the cut
ting short of the session. This is presi-
Dental year, and while this has been an
essentially do-nothing congress, yet they
realize that too much time must not be
consumed in doing it, The Republican
party, with its tremendous majority in
the house, full well realizes that it is
done nothing good at this session, they
must go before the people with as
little badly done as is possible With
this end in view they want to rush the
appropriation bills through and adjourn at
the earliest possible moment. 1t matters
not to them if many most important ques-
tons will be left in allegiance by this
early adjournment. They are out after
political prefermcnt not only for their
party, but, most of ALL for themselves,
and they think the nation can rock along
all right while they are getting them
selves reelected. But even if we must
submit to all the wild vaporings of an
other long drawn out congressional cleo
ton, we will at least have the consolation
of escaping possibly a worse evil, pro-
tracted session of congress. The bitter
and the sweet come very much mixed up
in this life, and this time we think we
have gotten hold of the rose part rather
than the thorn.

Col Dudley is getting to be wonderfully
gracious. This high and mighty execu-
toner of Democratic rights is going to
let the Democrats enjoy the right of vot-
ing as they please at the primaries. Col.
Dudley is little late in granting that
permission, Democrats have signified
their intention of disobeying Col. Dud-
ley's orders. and he, perhaps, has CON
cluded that it is time to haul in his horns.
Col. Dudley has found out that he can
not, with a stuffed committee, dictate so
arbitrarily to Democrats. Col. Dudley
need not bother himself about primary
matters that the party will settle locally
according to their time-honored customs.

The Ohio legislature has recently pas

The Ohio legislature has recently pass
ed law providing for the heirs OF any
person killed by II mob to sue the county
in which the deed was done and recover
$4,000. We suppose the law does not
make it obligatory upon the jury to bring
in verdict for $4,000. Men who do
things that excite mob violence are not
generally worth $1,000 to their heirs, and
we presume under the Ohio law the qucs-
ton of the value of the deceased going to
the measure of damages is for the con-
sideration and discretion of the Jury.

ed that all the time had been spent on the
question Of an Independent Court OF APP

sist of five members, all lawyers, four OF
whom would form court. lfany of the
members, who are TO serve seven-year
terms, become incapacitated by sickness
or other cause from sitting on the bench
at any time, that number is to be made

No change whatever was made In the
constitution Of tho Supreme Court, which
will continue to be presided over by

would be, Mr.. Vroom SAID, with one-thrd
of the work taken away from II that the

the number of its members and will at
least abolish the Circuit Court Judges.
