TARIFF TINKERS.
Why Democrats Are Not Anrious to
Haze Their Record Shozcn IN.

Washington. Sept 17.-Grave concern is mani
tested by the Democratic managers over the
growing for tariff revision howls and
the evident intention the part of many of the
thoughtless party organs to make it the all
important issue OF the campaign. A poll Of
the Democratic and independent editors Of the
North and West recently INDUCED in by the
Reform Club indicates that large majority of
those asked favor the proposition. and the lead
ers fear that despite the necessity for cam
paiGn Of silence and negation, aggressive and
impatient Democrats may jump the traces and
cry Justify for tariff for revenue only
Judge Parkers campaign managers seriously
object TO the plan of bringing the issue prom
inenty to the front where It can be fully and
freely discussed. and where the benefits Of the
Republican policy of protection would. by con-
trast, be more strongly impressed on the intelli-
sent vote Of the country.
They have discovered by an examination Of
the books Of the Treasury that under the Wilson
tariff, an enduring monument to Democratic in
capacity which became operative under the sec
ond Cleveland administration, the revenues, ex-
elusive Of postal and proceeds Of bond sales
dropped in the first year from 1916 100000 in
round numbers, to 1923 900 600. For 1S94-'95
the revenues dropped to S3OSOOOOOO. For
1896 they rose to 1925 100000 and for 1886
81 they dropped again to $3OS.OOO.OOO.
The country. firing of Democratic misrule
again intrusted the government to the Repub-
liCan party. and shortly afterward the Dngley
tariff was enacted. In the first year of its oper
alton the revenues OF the government jumped
from S3OSOOO,OOO TO $413.0O0OOO. and steadily
and consistently increased. until they reached
the enormous sum Of $51T0O0.OOO. in round
numbers, for 19Ol-O2. Then the war stamp tax
of 100000 600 repealed. and for the year
ending March l. 1903. the revenues We're S56S,-
100000 Last year they were $J46 900 900
which is regarded as a perfectly natural but
temporary decrease because Of existing business
conditions.
Every year Of Cleveand's second adminstra-
tiou under the operation OF the Wilson tariff
there enormous deficit. while under the
succeeding Republican administrations and
with a Republican tariff IN operation there has
been only one year when there was an actual
excess of expenditures over receipts. and that
was during the war with Spain.
In view Of these figures. it is not considered
strange here that Democratic leaders should
night shy OF a discussion Of the tariff in this
campaign. rs it would inevitably lead TO an ex-
posure Of the annually recurring Treasury def
iCits brought about By the last revision OF the
tarlH At the hands Of the Democratic party.

NOT so MANY TRUANTS.
School authorities Keep Watch on
Boys Who PLAY Hockey"

The small boy is not playing hockey" the way
ne used 70. Whether or not the part time system
mas anything TO do with it is not explained, but
the reports Of the Truancy Bureau OF the Depart
ment OF Education show that the number OF cases
brought to its attention fell from 15.17 $3.50
Fefhaps the increased severity Of the department
may have something to do with it. Last year 81
truants were committed various institutions
and only 625 were committed the previous twelve
months OF the 81. boys to the number OF 39S
were committed by Clarence E. Meleuey, the
Associate City Superintendent in charge Of the
Iruancy Bureau. and 2zS by the justices Of the
ChlIcren's courts On the previous year only 40
boys had been committed by the Chudren's Court
in Manhattan.
The reason that even more Of the incorrtgfbIes
could not be placed in truant homes was that
the accommodations of such homes in and near
the city are limited. The two regular homes can
accommodate only 170 children. and they are
usually fuIL The Garretson Farm, for the pur-
chase OF which the Board of Estimate and Appor-
uonment Friday appropriated funds will soon be
ready for one thousand truants The farm one
hundred acres Of 1t. is in Queens. The truauts
there will be taught farming and almost all ordi-
nary trades. The law recently passed permitting
the truant homes to retain their worst characters
two years for special treatment. instead Of dis
charging all on July 81 each year. helps dl up the
homes.
The seventy-two truant officers OF the Depart
ment Of Education in force gathering
n all chronic truants. About twenty-five boys
nave been paroled from the truant homes. and
about thtrty-hve more will soon be paroIed
promise of good behavior.
If We can keep up this rate OF decrease for
couple Of years begin to talk said Dr.
Meeney yesterday. I attribute the results to the
new truant laws, which have been vigorously en-
forced by my officers. We have nothing 10 do with
the enforcement Of the newsboys law, except
where boys of school are found selling papers
