The New York Times lectures the
Democratic meinbers of Congress for
what 1t regards as stupidity in urging
q reduction OF taxation through the re-
moval Of the stamp taxes instead of
through lowering OF the duties on for
eign imports. There can be no doubt
that the free trade theory looks to a ra-
duetion In the latter manner rather than
the former, and that to be consistent
the Democrats, who profess to be free
traders, ought to have chosen the latter
But Democratic free traders never were
consistent. They have always been be-
sray ing their theory. They did 1t under
Cleveland. Instead of tariff for rev.
snue law, they produced a measure scarce
Iy less pFossctivs than the one they re-
pealed-ons 90 false to their theory thzt
Cleveland characterized it IS "psrtidy
and dishonor." and refused to sign IL.
In seeking to repeal this stamp taxear
instead Of lowering the tariff they are
sticking to 'perfdy and dishonor.
