Parker on The Tariff.

Judge Parker, iii his recent address
on the tariff question, said:
"a duty which does not raise the price
OF tho article TO the consumer fails Of
its object. and is therefore needless for
purposes Of protection IF Il does arti-
ticinlly raise the price. then the con-
sumner pays the difference, which, as
Hamilton said, Is the same thing as n
bounty to the producer"
The protcctionists may argue until
doomsday, but they cannot successfully
refute this plain simple fact. III n few
lines Judge Parker has cpitomlzcd the
tariff question and brought the taxi
payers and the protectionists face to
face. Tho tariff tax is levied primarily,
not for the purpose Of raising the revenue,
but for the purpose of enabling American
manufacturers to sell their goods to Amer
lean consumers at higher prices than
could be obtained IN free competition with
tho outside world 1t IS true that the
government receives revenues from TINS
source, and on that point there is no
disagreement between Republicans and
Dmocrnts 1t is entirely proper for the
government to raise revenue by lcvying
a tax upon imports. but the government
has no right TO make that tax higher than
Is necessary to raise revenue sufficient for
the expenses of a government economl-
callv administered, and 1t has no moral
right TO levy tax for any purpose othcr
than that Of raising revenue.
When 1t employs the taxing power III
the interest Of a class Of citizens to enable
them TO impose a bounty upon the peo-
bic at large 1t commits all outrage against
morality and tho rights OF the body
unlitc. The Dingley tariff law is bounty
law, and the Republicans cannot honestly
disputc the fact. 1t is against this prin-
ciple that Democracy is contcndinE, and
It Is for the people to say whether or
not they will continue in power a party OF
tusurpation which so grossly violates con-
stltutiona rights and builds up and fos-
tiers n monopolistic class. The Republi-
cans have become SO emboldened that the
leaders dctiantly proclaim that if they
arc successful at the polls on November
18th, they will stand pa" and make no
change whatever in this regime Of usu!p-
alton and robbery Is for. the voters
to say whether or not the Repubicans
shall have the opportunity5to,t continue TINS ms
abuse.

Editor OF The Dispatch:
( Sir,--Now Is the season for field sports,
especially hunting, Soon our papers Will
have chapter after chapter Ut the most
narrowing accidents BY the careless ham
ding OF shotguns, friends shooting friends,
brothers. fathers and sons; all. sorts Of
distressing ana ,afflctive accidents from
criminal carelessncss. !, fs ~ K;
Now, Mr.. Editor, this sort of thing has
gone far enough ITO stop. Criminal care,
lessness should .ye,branded as al disgrace
Every shotgun accident involving life
or limb should be brought to court by the
sheriff of the county, and tho facts in
vestigated. If carelessness appears. 1t
should be punished, andsenough TO amount
to something
If n man carries his gun cooked, and an
accident occurs, he deserves punishment.
If loaded gun Is taken into railway
coach and results in accident. surely there
should be punishment. II "a mans own
child is manned or killed by firearms
careessly placed about the house, that
man deserves and should havc&ndded To-
his bereavement q. legal punishment.
Such accidents must be made not only
pathetic, but dsgraceful And people
must be educated to that point through
the law and the courts 5astt

Russia's Blundcr.

The English people did not throw a
French fit when the news was received
of the attack of tho Russian fleet upon

aon that 1t was manifest on the face
Of It that II was due TO some unaccount-
able mistake on the Part Of the Russian

No Secret Meetings.

The proposition to hold the meetings
of the city Democratic Commit NIT e ee IN
secret is not to be seriously entertained nee
for :, moment. Democracy cannot afford t'c
to have secrets Nrram the people and
"star chamber proceedings" Will not be be
tolerated. Il x
Moreover the committee could not keep
its proceedings secret, no matter what
1t might adopt The secrets would leak
out" and the newspapers would print
them. The. reports. however would you'd not
always be clear and complete. and ex-
plantations would have to be made. The
path Of duty is tho path OF safety. Let
the committee deal frankly and, openly
with tile people. The argument1offered
in favor Of secret meetings is that when
tho proceedings are open the committee
subjects itself 10 adverse criticism. Let
the members be inforced that they will
subject themselves to and receive far
more adverse criticism If they transact
their business behind closed doors.

The Marriage Law IN. /,

The New York Sun Of Sunday publis he's
the following:
To the Editor OF The, Sun:
Sir-The Episcopali Convention in Bos-
ton seems TO be wasting linN over the
divorce question. yT4 y q Objection Cd n he
raised to4n canont which shall Guide and
restrict the clergy Of yits own 'cpnmlin-'
ion; but when they discuss resolution,
such MS was presented to tho convention
Yesterday, in which 1t is proposed 10 me
morialize the Federal government TO re-,
strict divorce simply to one cause they
are getting sout OF their province.
The United States is a great cosmop6li-.
tan country. Christianity is not the rci-
gion ofthe State. any more tllan Judaism
or Buddhism, and any legislation on do
mestic questions must be broad, and lil)-
eral That tho prevalence OF divorce
Is n national scandal may be admitted.;.
but when carefully considered 1t will be.
found that the law OF divorce IN the
United States differs Very little from that
or the British empire, where adultery,
cruelty. and two years desertion are
recognized rs cause for divorce 1t Is only
social opinion that places some check
on the evil IN Great Britain.
Tho peculiar attitude of the Episcopal
Church at present makes II very clear
that the time has come when ministers
OF religion should not be empowered to
lcgalize marriage There is nothing new
In this question. The first settlers in
New England found 1t q burning nucs-
ton, and 1t WAS the cause Of much tron-
BILE in the days Of Winthrop and Brad
ford. The first marriage in the Plymouth
Plantation on NrayS12. 1921, was n civil
marriage. In Virginia In 1912 the Cow
ernors license took the place Of the II
cense Of the English bishop given through
the chaplain.
S Prevalence of divorce Is AN evil but
difficulties placed in The WY Of marriage
result In grentcr evils. This was the view
taken By Martin LUTHER. John Milton and
Oliver Cromwell and IT led 10 the promul-
cation OF "liberal views regarding the
question II was not because their moral
sense was bluntcd. but simply because
they were in sympathy With the views Of
the apostle who thought certain things
were good for tho present necessity"
However scandalous the prevalence OF
divorce may be, the only possible remedy
Is the creation Of a healthy public opinion
on the subject, This Is clearly within
the province OF ministers OF religion, but
It Is manifcsly Impossible for any rcll-
gious community 10 dictate to the govern
mcnt of eighty millions Of people OF d.
verse naiolaltics and religions any re-
stricod law which shall affect their social
condition.

Selt-Development.

In a sermon delivered in ST. Paul's
Church on Sunday last, Rev. Or. William
Il. Evans, rector of the MonuDncntnl
Church. said in substance that no man.
who was n failure, could fairly plead
that he was not to blame, that he could
not help It; that no man could honestly
and truthfully charge that hercdity or
environment necessarily made him bad
or deprived him OF the power to resist
evil and 10 rise above his embarrass-
ment. He did not deny the influence of
reredity and environment but he con-
tended that God had given to every man
the power. To overcome the influence.
whether good or evil, and that evnry
man went TO his own place, whether good
or bad, through his own effort or through
his own fault. as the case might be.
That Is noble doctrine. It Is doctrine Of
free agency, the doctrine of sclf-dcvelop-
ment. Tho good Lord condemns no man
to lifo of sin, nor does he make a
man good In spite of himself. He gives
him the choice between good and evil. and
it is for man to decide which he Will
take. Temptations and evil Influences
must come, but to tho man who resists
them and employs them TO strengthen
his. moral and religious character they
are means OF development and II heavenly
blessing.
