pInglcy,s ProrI,ccY Norillrd.

The New York Press indicates the
late Mr.. Dinslcy's reputation as a
prophet in summing up few facts in
connection with the present tariff law.
1t declares that there was only one
prophet right about the Dingley tariff
bill. and he Is dead. It was Mr.. Ding
ley himself. He said that his bill would
yield S2OO,O0O.0OO from customs, and 1t
has done 30. He said that the customs
would yield more than internal revenue,
and they have done so. The Press con-
tinues:
He said that customs and Internal revc-
nue. would yield surplus In the first year
OF normal operation. They have done SO.
He said so when his bill was drawn, and
when a new school. OF whom we regret to
say. tho present chairman OF the senate
finance committee was distinguished
prosclyte. were preaching that under the
changed conditions or reduced cost and
improved quality OF American manutac-
lures. protection and revenue could not be
got out OF one tariff. He said so when,
six months after his law went into effect,
wenk-kneed new converts from Democra-
OF friend" 90 and implorins him to bring
In new bill 10 avoid deficit. He said so
In the last writing on economic subjects
his pea ever traced. And 1t is so.
These facts prove that Mr.. Dingley
was right. He went on the Republican
principle that 4 protective tariff Is a
revenue producer. because It makes
good times, notwithstanding many
members OF the party ignored this doc
trine and advanced other theories-one
Of them being the free trade argument
that protective tariff. large revenue
and increased exports could not all ex-
list at the same time. It needs no argu-
ment but to point to the past year to
demonstrate the futility of this claim.
The Press is right when it says the test
vindcates Republicanism as well as
Dingley. 1.-THE Importance is that 1t
makes for, stability: that it checks, or
should check the unhappy tendency for
experimentation with the tariff which
has cost this country SO dear in the
past" Says the Press:
We have dealt. OF course. only With the
peace tariff, which will show a surplus OF
sN,0 Jo,OOO for the first full year OF Its
working. unembarrassed by anticipatory
imports. which for 1855 made q deficit OF
just about sio.eJ0.cG0 which they added to
Secretary Carllsle's estimate for 1881. The
balancing o: the war budget. with Its NOM
inal deficit OF less than Sl00, Go, when
even Secretary Gage estimated $4,000, go.
and Mr.. Cannon s60.G0O,000 more. IS also
gratifying. especially in view OF the fact
that the United States has an army corps
OF 1900 men in active foreign service. But
we have touched before on this singular
dissipation OF all the fearful doubts OF tho
tabby cats. 1t is u war issue, not tariff
issue.
With reference to the point that 1t is
4 war issue and not a tariff issue, all
shat the public has to do is to remem-
Der in peace. which is our nominal
state" that we have received and are
receiving enough revenue and protec-
ton out of the tariff. because it main
talns the home market for home pro-
auctions.
