LMERIcA ND TIN TARIEF.

A strange controversy concerning the Amerl-

tbe organizer Of the British Industrial and edu-
rational commissions which have recently Wis

result Of his industrial observations in America,
that the tariff question was here practically 4
sealed book; that while considerable minority
81 Americans were in favor 0f q revision and
reduction Of the existing tariff. the masses OF
working people would never agree 10 any reduc-
fion that would deprive them Of protection
against foreign competition. and that any adop-
ton Of free trade IN the Cobdonite sense was
entirely out Of tho question. Ills statement has
been challenged with the counter statement.

the cornerstone Of IT'S programme.
We can this a strange controversy, because &
IS difficult 10 understood how any wcI Informed
person can dissent from Mr.. 3Iosey's statement
or The case. The indisputable fact OF record Is
that no considerable American party has IN re-
cent years ventured 10 demand In its platform
anything resembling absolute free trade. or any
thing nore than revision OF the protective
t0riT system In 1900, for example. the Demo
cratic platform denounced the existing tariff law
as iu advised and said tariff laws should be
amended by putting the products OF trusts upon
"the free list" but II contained no demand for
free trade. and we do not think any one under
stood il 20 imply anything Ike the British free
trade system. I'm 1896 the Democratic platform

the President that it was only a question OF time
before the few differences among the workers OF
the party in the State would be rsco1ciled. and
the whole party would be ready to work in har
mouy for his election.

REVIVAL SESSIONS.

Probably no serious political significance at
taches 10 the bin introduced in the state Assem-
bly, yesterday 10y Mr.. Charles Of Wyoming
County, which plans 10 substitute biennial for
annual sessions. This measure proposes the
submission 10 The people Of a constitutional
amendment giving Asscmblymen tw0-year
terms and Senators foUr-year terms, and requir-
ing the legislature 10 meet IN regular session
after January. 1907. at two-year intervals
There Is little likelihood that this biennial ses-
sion project VIII be pushed. 40 pressure Of
public sentiment can he detected behind u, and
10 political or partisan ends will De served by
a crusade for the abolition of the annual SEES
sion The makers OF the constitution of 1891
did not deem il advisable in reappoTtioning rep
resentatiOn IN the legislature 10 clip that hody's
powers OF abridge its activities. Little fault Is
found with the system we now follow and the
radical iunqR0t0n proposed by Mr.. Charles viii
doubtless attract only a languid and academic
interest.
The suggestion is, however. IN ttself in
Ire with modern political tendencies. In most
OF The States there has been a marked depart
ure from the theory once in vogue that legis-
lat.ve bodies should meet frequently and con-
unue in session practically at their own viii
and convenience. Few legislatures now retain
the power TO sit indefinitely. scant life OF
sixty or ninety days is allowed the law making
body in a majority OF the forty-ive States, and
this constitutional limit reached, the houses
dis solve automatically 10 convene again only
on the call Of the Governor. In about tw0-thirds
OF the States limited biennial session Is now
the rule. and certain commonwealth which
have recently remale their constitutions have
gone the length OF restricting the legislature
10 one session every four years. In Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama legislative sessions are
now QUadrenniaL and The example set 10y these
States is likely 60 be Initiated by other South
ern commonwealth anxious 10 check political
activity and thus more easily smother and
silence the negro vote.
So general. Ia fact. IS the drift toward con-
Stituti0nal or statutory restriction that only
four States now permit their legislatures TO sit
every year. Massachusetts and Rhode Island
stiil cling 10 annual general elections choosing
/ State officers and legislature every fall In
/ New-Jersey, as in New-Norlz lower house is
elected every year and there is an annual lecis-
I lative session. But elsewhere legislative pro-
ductiv!ty IS being more and moro cllUped and
4 hedsed; and the passing Of TIE annual IN
I limited session, such as Albany stin witnesses.
/ is now perhaps only n question Of time. No
I state which has dropped annual sessions can
. be tempted 80 return TO them. finding biennial
/ meetings ample Cor all public needs Barren
