The condition OF the appetite

vAnos inst about what Is to take place can
be pretty accurately foretold. There are

THE SAME OLD STORY.

There probably has not been year in
our municipal history when the Repub-
noans have been in power that the Demo.
Gratis did not, along in February, make
the discovery that the administration had
baen sxtravagant in its appropriation and
expenditure of public money. and Justify
sh out that 1t deserved to be punished
by being turned out. Along with this
always goes the assertion that they
ara very virtuous ana thoughtful folk,
and II entrusted with power Will give
the city an administration as near per-
rsotion as is possible for human beings
They will be wise, they will be econ
omical, they will appoint none but good
men to office, they will always subor-
dinate their personal and party interest
to the common wealth. short they will
usher In n municipal millennium. AT rare
intervals the public has lent a favoring
ear TO their clHmor and protestation, and
accorded them q chance to verify their as
sertions of extravaganza and wastefulness
against the Republicans, and to exemplify
their own alleged virtues In actual practice
The result has been invariably the same.
Ihe moment the means havs been in their
bands Of proving their charges, If they
were true, the Democrats have always
dropped the subject, for the simple reason
that the books afforded not proof, but
disproof Of the allegations they mad so
freely made before election. They have
also ceased to be paragons OF virtue and
Righteousness just the moment the
count OF the votes has shown that the
privilege which they asked OF directing
city affairs had been given than. And
their transfor nation from pious monks
into very ordinary Inortals with oapacious
stomachs and enormous appetites has
bean as complete as it has been sudden.

other part-the post-eleotion part-wln

portunity Sometimes the prs-election

competition was Lot intended, but a

charges. aud that the true remedy, IL the
present company was making excessive
charges, was an application TO the Su-

their charges reasonable. On the other

CURRENT COMMENT.
A FREE TRADE WHIP.
lBoston Advertiser. }

The fact that a bill to rspsal this duties
on iron and steel has been Introduced In
Congress, Ia significant manly re ause
this measure Is drawn by the chairman
OF tine Republican Congressional com
mittee, one of the leading Republican
mem bers OF the Ways ana Means onm-
mittee. II a member on the Democratic
side OF the House had offered this bill,
there wouli have been little comment on
the fact 1t would have been taken IA
matter OF course IL is an old practice
for Democrats to prescribe "tarih reform
as n panacea for all political HIS
Mr. Babcocks action, however, should
not have come as a surprise. Several
months ago the Advertiser called atten-
tion to the fact that within the Repubii-
can party there already existed feeiiog
that IL tariff protection were used by
trusts to enable them TO treat the public
unfairly, 10 might be necessary to reopen
the tariff question, The article in ques-
tion was copied by many Repu ublican
newspapers OF the United States with
worls of approval. 1t became very evil
dsnt from those comments that the feel
ing, to which the Advertiser referred
existed, not merely In New England. and
not alone In tae East
AS one OF the leading Republican Con-
gressmen from the Northwest, Mr.. Bah
cock OF Wisconsin would hardly have in
troduced his bill II he had not had good
reason to believe that Its provisions would
commend themselves TO the Republicans
of this section. Even II the Babcock bill
we've passed 1t might possibly prove that
the proposed steel trust would be able to
do business profitably. American manu-
faotures of iron and steel are now gaining
footnold in the worlds markets in COM
peUItion with the product OF countries
where free trade exists Consequently 1t
IL at least possible that this industry
could do without tariff protection.
There are other industries. however,
controlled by trusts that are more sus-
ceptibls to attack ou this quarter. II the
rule proposed by the chairman OF the
Rspu blican Congressional committee
should be adopsed ss a general feature of
the Republican policy, there would be
not a few American trusts that would
rind themselves in a rather embarrassing
situation. The protective policy has
grown to be such settled feature OF
American tariffs that there are not many
great American trusts which can consider
themselves unprotected by tariff sohed-
ules
1t would be fotced construction upon
MIR. Baboook's action to infer from 1t
that he wishes TO deprive all trusts of
tariff protection. He would probably say
that the rule in each case would be deter
mined by the character OF the trusts deal
ings with consumers and the general
public His idea lie probably that tariff
protection IL used only as club to force
consumers into paying unnecessarily high
prices, then that club should be taken
away from the Offending trust. The
general prineiDle OF protection for Ameri-
can Industries was regarded as settled
four years ago. II that understanding IL
changed. it will be the fault, not of the
American people, but OF greedy and
offensive methods pursued by great in
dustrial corporations.
