THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.

The Senate has passed the Philippine tariff
bill in form which is decided improvement
on the measure as It came from the House of
Representatives. The latter body acted, how
ever. just the report of the Philippine Com
mission. recommending a reduction from the
rates Of the DingIey tariff on goods from the
Philippines. was received. Probably something
of the desired concession would have been made
in the House if the necessity for it had been
earlier understood, and there is every reason to
expect that the amendments made in the Senate
along the lines advised by the Philippine Com
mission most likely to promote the pacifca-
ton and the prosperity of the islands will pre-
vail.
The Senate bill does not make all Of the
concession asked by the commission. The re-
port favored the imposition of only 80 per cent
of the Dingley duties Philippine imports,
but the Senators could not see their way to
make the rates less than 70 per cent of those
in the Dingley law, and, to judge from the
Discrimination in the House 10 extend any COM
mercial comfort TO the island peoples who look
toward us for help, there is little likelihood
that the FilipinOs will at present receive any
more easy access to our markets. The % per
cent discrimination in favor of the Philippines
will doubtlessly benefit the islands financially,
and even more politically-perhaps nearly as
thing is TO show the Filipinos goodwill and
teach the peacefully disposed that it is worth
while TO stand firmly Tor the defence of law
and order against the robber bands Trade
concessions are cheaper than armies, and often
more effective.
It is necessary TO levy some duties on imports
from the Philippines. Revenue is needed for
the islands, and a barrier must be raised
against the wholesale evasion of our revenue
laws by foreign traders admitted under the
pledge of the "open door" into the PHILIPPINES
on the same terms as our own merchants.
There is no reason, however. why products OF
the Philippines should not be admitted on IA
vorable terms, while European and Chinese
goods sent here by way of the Philippines are
subjected 10 the Dingley rates This conces-
sion the Senate bill makes, not indeed in as
large measure as has been advised by those
who ought 10 be the best judges of the Philip
pine situation, but nevertheless TO a consider
able degree. If the bill is accepted by the
House and becomes a law it ought TO stimulate
commerce and be an instrument of pacification.

HENRY G. MAROEAND.

The death Of Henry G. Marquand leaves a
vacancy in the citizenship of New-York which
will not soon or easily be filled 1t is perhaps
a true, as it is in some sense melancholy, say
ing that no one is Indispensable to the welfare
of any community; but there have been few
men identified with its nober life to whom this
city has owed greater honor and whose mem
DRY it should more gratefully cherish. Pos
sessed of unusual talents for the direction Of
business enterprises, he gained fortune which
he might have increased to great proportions
If he had been so inclined, but he coveted
large revenue only that he might be able to
spend it freely in the service of Others and he
drew so constantly on his resources as to pre-
vent their natural accumulation. Yet his liber-
atty was singularly unobtrusive. Only here
and there an individual in whom he found it
necessary TO confide was aware of the extent
of his gifts to institutions which had particu-
larly engaged his interest The public knows
of many important benefactions which could
not remain anonymous. but If the hidden stream
of his expenditure for the common benefit
should ever be revealed its magnitude would
cause establishment even to many of his familiar
friends
More than any other object of his care the
Metropolitan Museum of Art will feel the loss
of Mr.. Marquand. It's president for many
years, he has devoted to its growth large
share Of his time and thought, served it with
unsurpassed sagacity as an administrator,
riched some of its most important departments
with treasures for which 1t is envied by every
kindred association in the world. and has been
a chief instrument in perfectng the foundations
on which it is securely rising TO a foremost rank
among the great art collections of modern
times. 1t is impossible to oyerestimate the
influence which he has exerted in the councils
of the museum, or the results which will ac-
cumulate as the generations pass from his ma
terial contributions TO the fulfiment of n great
design. He has departed full OF years and
hOnOrs, and left TO the city of New-York the in
spring example Of hlameless and fruitful life
