THE TARIFF ISSUE.

In article contributed to THE New-York
Herald" the Hon. Charles Z. Littlefeld, Of
Maine, declares that the tariff issue will be the
controlling issue in the Presidential campaign.
Mr.. Littlefield says?
While have no commission TO speak for the
Republican party, I think voice prevailing
sentiment among its members when l say that,
with the money question relegated to the rear
after two decisive trials, the protective tariff
again comes to the front as the one great issue
upon which the Republican and Democratic
parties are fundamentally opposed This ques-
tion was brought to the front in both branches
discussed on the floor Of the Senate and House
by members Of both parties. who apparently &C
cepted 1t as the main issue of the coming con-
test.
Mr.. Lttlefeld is party leader of intelligence
and experience. Yet we think he wholly mis-
reads the signs of the times when he predicts
that the tariff can become this year. or in any
year in the near future, an absorbing and para
mount political issue. From 1850 to 1896, the
tariff was such an issue The Democratic party
all through that period stood committed TO a
general assault on the protective system. It's
more radical leaders preached free trade; its
less radical ones contended for tariff for reve-
nue. only. Sectional jealousies We're persistent
ly infamed. and Democratic managers sought

discussion held the centre Of the stage in Con-
gress- Almost every other voter was a fluent
and strident political economist
But the conditions which produced that agita-
ton have passed away. The reaction which
followed the passage Of the Mckinley bill
brought in Democratic administration and a
Democratic Congress. The bubble OF free trade
sentiment burst when the Democratic party at.

JAPAN AND TIBET.
eyildoing,

Now that Great Britain seems to be under
taking something much like n temporary con-
quest OF Tibet, it is pertinent to consider what
relation there may be between Tibet and Japan.
or rather between the British campaign in Tibet
and the Russo-Japanese War. We need not
tarry over the suggestion that Great Britain Is
invading Tibet because Russia is occupied else
where There is nothing in it. Great Britain
would have sent her mission TO Tibet just the
same If there had been no Russo-Japanese War
and If Russia were inclined to resent it she
would find a way Of doing so now. in spite of
her engagement with Japan. The difference
that the war may be making is not in Great
Britain or In Russia but in Tibet, and in Tibets
attitude toward the British mission. We have
said the war has made no difference in the send
Ing of the mission 1t may have made ma
teral difference in the reception of it
We have not taken much stock in the alarm
list talk about the yellow peril" so far as Japan
is concerned. There is little fear of that coun-
try's putting itself at the head of the yellow
race for the conquest of the white race But
there are unmistakable indications that other
yellow nations are being moved by Japan's
initial successes over Russia to assume more
independent and self-reliant, not to say aggres-
sive, attitude toward their Caucasian neghbors
or rulers. This war, the first ptting Of a CIV
liked yellow nation against a white one, is
being watched with interest in China, In India.
and all through Asia. There is little doubt
that every victory gained by Japan is regarded
by many a proof Of the Asans ability to
hold his own with the European and a dis
tinct loss Of European prestige. 1t may be that
had this war, with its Japanese victories, not
occurred the Tibetans would have been awed
by the approach of the British and would have
received the mission with amity and humility
and that it is the example of Japan which has
inspired them to resist with force the invas sion
of their Forbidden Land"
To what extent such a spirit will extend
among the subject and semi-subJect peoples of
Asia is an interesting and important question.
If the natives of India, for example, should
take 1t into their heads to rise against British
rule, the problem thus presented would be far
more serious than that OF the old Mutiny. We
do not anticipate any such disaster. But 1t
will not be strange II in some quarters, on
small scale, Asians are melted to resent and
| TO resist the assumed superiority Of Europeans.
That will compel Europeans to present stronger
reafjons than hitherto for their dominance over
the Asians, and 1t will be well II they are res.
