AT THE AGE OF FIVE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
port Herald, Is five years of age, and it
says so attractively, though with bocom-
ing modesty in its issue Of Tuesday. The
Herald Is AN independent newspaper and
one of the few that understands by the
word independent certain standard
of faith rather than simply an opposition
TO any and every other faith.
just now TO judge from its declaration
of principles, reafiirned for the birthday
occasion, our esteemed contemporary, at
first glance, seems to be rather more i'm
line with the majority of folks in tho
country that it sometimes is. "Politl-
cally, says our contemporary, cit up.
holds tariff reform policy" Now tariff
reform, be 1t said, is what this nation
needs more than any other one thing and
il is going to get it with the Dingley bill
which is designed to reform tho worst
and wickedest tariff that ever went into
the statutes. We are all tariff reformers,
and we voted the reform when we elected
William Mckinley and Republican
Congress last November. HurIah for
tariff reform! Down with free trade and
humbug tariffs Of the late Cleveland
Wilson sort of concoction! 1t strikes us
though that our contemporary is incon-
sistent when, in declaration number FIVE,
it declares for the "abolition OF the sys-
tenn of protection, trusts and monopolies. 4"
We haven't tho least idea what the system
OF trusts and monopolies is. Perhaps il
is something OF local consequence in New
port. IL So and If it is Objectionable we
trust our contemporary, the Herald, will
root 1t out before its next birthday. But
the system of protection we recognize as
something of substantial existence or at
least, as having had such existence and
now going to be revived, in the process
Of reforming the tariff under which the
country is laboring like Sisyphus.
Believing in tariff reform, according to
declaration of principle number one it
is confusing to learn by declaration mum
Der five that our contemporary would
abolish the system of protection. Protec-
tion is evidently the essential of tariff
reform as commonly understood, we be-
lieve.
