The New Army Volunteer.

The plan of the president to raise
the $4,000 volunteers authorized by
the army reorganization bill will dis
please the people very much. The new
law gives the president the right to ig-
more the governors OF states, but il
was not expected that he would ever
feel it necessary to do so. The volun-
teer system of maintaining a war es-
Establishment was never intended to be
more than a known but inactive guam
tity IN time of peace; and the certainty
of it, when the nation was threatened,
was in the readiness of each state to
furnish its quota on the call. The
states have always been jealous of their
right to have their full representation
in The field in time OF war, and the
states haye always prided themselves
on their ability to promptly respond to
the nations call with regiments of full

strength and Differed ready to march
from the states rendezvous to the point
designated by the president. There
has always been rivalry between the
states to see which should be first to
report its quota ready, and this same
spirit of rivalry was carried by the
volunteers to the front and maintained
there. however long the service might
be.
But the president has destroyed all
opportunity for the state to keep itself
identified with the armies in the field.
State lines have been obliterated and
the state will not be appealed to here
after, nor will those who volunteered
be permitted to have voice in the
selection of their commissioned or nom
commissioned officers. The men of the
state will be asked to volunteer as in
dividuals to serve as privates in any
company or regiment to which they
may be assigned. They will differ
from regulars only in length of service,
and the basis of their response to the
presidents call will be a given COM
pensation in money, food and clothing
for their services. Hitherto the ma
ton has appealed to the patriotism of
the people through their state officials
to organize themselves into companies
and regiments to defend the nation,
but now The appeal is made to individ-
uals to enlist in the army at a stipu-
lated schedule of wages, including
board, clothes and medical attention.

We see from the New York San.
which is one of the greatest authorities
of the present day upon the mortuary
statistics of political issues, that the
Silver Issue has again departed this
life The Sun has erected it's monu-
ment in the burying ground of dead is
sues and ornamented it with a silver
buzzard of life-siZe; but, while oficiat-
ing with hilarious solemuity at the OBJ
sequies of the Silver Craze, it has dis
covered that there is new corpse
ready for the political graveyard. The
Silver Craze was never favorite with
the sam During its life it troubled
the SUMS waking hours continuously.
and filled its nights with heaviness.
At its decease that paper was in a
frame of mind to wake the corpse joy
ously, with whiskey and dancing
galore. But the new dead it lays
away in sorrow and in tears. It was
supposed to have centuries of life be-
fore it, but in an evil hour it was cut
off In the midst of its usefulness. 1t
announces the end in the following
language:
This enlargement of the scope of tax
ation involves two important changes
in our revenue policy; namely, the
abandonment of the system of protec-
ton to home industries. and the inclu-
sion, as subjects of taxation, of articles
heretofore exempt because of their
wide consumption by our poorer fellow
citizens. We have already discovered
by experience the truth of the theory
in regard to protection, that, beyond a
certain point, the higher the duties
imposed upon imports the less revenue
they yield, and that duty which Is so
protective as to be prohibitory, like
that on steel rails and tin plates, yields
no revenue at all. We have also
found, by experience, that, under the
stimulus of protection, our home man
ufactures have been so developed that,
duty or no duty, they exclude compel
ing imported articles, and thus destroy
them. The result is, as we see, les
sening of the yield from customs, to
check which, and to convert it into an
increase. duties must be imposed upon
articles like coffee, crude india rubber.
and tropical fruits, and the existing
duties upon wines, silks, cigars and
sugar must be increased. To counter
balance these customs increases the
internal revenue taxes must be cores
pondingly increased, and. if the rev.
enue is still deficient, they must be
imposed upon new articles. AS fast as
we arrive at the condition in which we
can manufacture the goods we need as
cheaply and as we'll as the foreigner
can. our customs receipts from such
goods will. as has already been said,
dwindle until they become not worth
the trouble and expense of collecting.
Free traders call this the failure of
protection. but it is really its success.
1t will have achieved its object and
can be laid aside.
Now that the home market and pro-
lection are under the sod, let the bells
be tolled and Lord Andrew Carnegie
put on Grape and the Home Market
club put on mourning, and let regi-
ment of soldiers be stationed at the
tomb of the Silver Craze to insure that
no resurrection for it shall ever take
