TARIFF AND POLITICS.

atT Not De divorced while Free
Traders Attack Protection.
The New York Commercial, while
taking issue with the proposition of the
American Economist that the tariff
will stay in politics just as long as it's
enemies stay in politics." fails to set
forth a single reason for tie belief that
the tariff will or can be taken out OF
politics. The fact that a large number
OF business men have expressed their
approval of the tariff commission idea
is hardly to the point. ASK any one of
these business men to explain in what
manner the tariff is to be taken out OF
politics through the creation Of per-
manent tariff commission, and he will
probably reply, Il don't know, but l
wish it might be done" SO say we all
of us. Protection once firmly Installed
as permanent policy and no longer
antagonized or attacked by any politi-
cal party, its application in detail could
safely be, and naturally would be, ad-
justed on u purely economic and fiscal
basis. Until that time comes, however,
there Is little to be gained by talking
about taking the tariff out Of politics.
Talking will not take it out. Neither,
in our Judgment, would the creation of
q permanent tariff commission do this.
Such commission could not In the ma
tu1e of things be nonpartisan. 1t would
have to be bipartisan-that is to say,
strictly partisan. If under Cleveland
administration, its majority would be
20, NJrJ Il, n
ley administration, protection major
ity would rule. Nonpartsanship on
the tariff question does not exist. or
what material. then, shall Il nonpar-
tlsan tariff commission be composed?
Obviously there is no such material. 1t
necessarily follows that we cannot
have a nonpartisan tariff commission,
and therefore, equally as matter of
course, we cannot have n permanent
tariff commission. Congress is not
likely to abdicate its supremacy in tar
iff matters to any tariff commission,
temporary or permanent. Reason why:
The tariff Is In politics. Until our
neighbor the Commercial can discover
some way of getting the tariff out of
poliics-and 1t does not seem to be
making much PROCESS in that direction
there Is small prospect that It's dream
of permanent and nonpartisan tariff
commission will be realized. To take
the tariff out of politics is, none the
less, "a consummation devoutly to be
wished" because it would mean perma-
nent protection. Any headway which
fbo Con1r,orniol ,aoI y11al.a tpyUarl fhaf
end has our best wishes.

The Heat of LAVA.

The lava streams from the eruption
of Vesuvius in 1858 were so hot twelve
years later that steam issued from
their cracks and crevices. Those that
flowed from Etna In 1877 were found
to be steaming hot Just below the crust
as late as 1910. The volcano Jorullo,
in Mexico, poured forth in 1853 lava
that eighty-seven years later gave off
columns of steaming vapor. In 1880 it
was found that stick thrust into the
crevices instantly ignited, although no
discomfort was experienced in walking
ON the hardened crust
