A Southern Tariff View.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat, in the
matter of the tariff, has a very correct APP
praisement of one feature of the situation
in this:
Greek chorus of tariff revisionists. Dram
ats personae,. Massachusetts, Mississi ppi
Maine, Oregon, Louisiana, Michigan, Iowa.
Song, We All Want Revisionr Reserva-
Mississippi and Maine, Except on lumber
Louisiana. Except on rice and sugar!
Oregon and Michigan, Except on fish and
pine treesr Iowa trailing in with faint
echo, Except on eggs and poultryP"
1t was such In the beginning, 1t is now
and it ever will be while the tariff remains
an issue And yet General Hancock
created national amusement In 1880 by de-
claring as his party's candidate for the
presidency that the tariff was local issue.
His blunder consisted in his trying to put
the case too systematically. II he had
dealt just little In explanation he would
have left his opponents with but small ma
terial for criticism.
The tariff is local issue. But that is Its
strength. 1t bears in one way or another
on every locality, and SO becomes also a
national issue. This has been demon
strated time and again in this town when
Congress has undertaken a revision of the
Washington and they were as patiently and
politely listened to, when the Morrison BILL
the Mills bill and the German Wilson bill
all democratic measures-were shaping. as
when the Mckinley bill and the Dingley bill
were going through the mill.
Everybody in interest wanted the COM
mittee having the business In hand to under
stand his side of 1t, and to make certain
that it did he came on, and, either in per-
son. or by spokesman. presented it.
The tariff cannot be intelligently revised
without the giving of due consideration to
all interests involved. Lumber must have
its day In court; sugar and rice must have
their day; metals theirs, and cotton goods
theirs; and so on. In the past twenty years
the men of responsible utterances who have
shouted the loudest for a revenue tariff have
always had reservation up their sleeve
in the interest of local industry. Free
trade was very beautiful but they wanted
somebody else to pay the bills. II 1t was to
touch their own pockets they could see that
it would be expensive.
For this reason revision Of the tariff,
undertaken in the general interests, with
protection as principle conceded, can have
no perils. 1t Is a question of give and take,
an evening of inequalities growing out of. a
phenomenal prosperity, with concessions
demanded from those able to make them,
and everybody benefited

there would be opportunity for this gov,
eminent to hold many Of the undesirable
individuals at the other side. There are
other reasons for exercising supervision
over the immigrants before they actually
reach these shores. Arrangements for es-
tablishing these frontier posts on Euro
pean soil should be easily made and with a
sincere cooperation by the governments
abroad the United States might readily
strengthen the barriers against disease im-

Henry Labouchere.

A moments reflection shows there Is no
room for surprise in the announcement
that Henry Labouchere will retire from
parliament. For several years the dis
patches have carried very little about him.
The once jaunty, nagging, quizzng member
of the house for Northampton, who de-
lighted in making both friend and foe un-
comfortable, and clothed his criticism In
such biting terms as to entertain everybody
but the unfortunate individual for the mo-
ment under the lash, has dropped out of
the public eye. He has seemed either to be-
resting, and waiting for the development of
new topics. or to have lost interest in pub
lie life. The latter would appear to be the
explanation.
1t may not be compliment. but it is
fact, that 'Labby'' has been the most ur-
English Englishman of his day He has
had no model, and is leaving no imitators
He has been in a class all by himself In
parliament he has been at best but an en-
tertainer. His success in that line has been
considerable, and maybe he did not aspire
beyond. At any rate he has had so much
fun with the political public that 1t has re-
fused to take him seriously, and as result
his influence on governmental policies has
been nil.

and his expenses in defending them have
been very heavy. But he has met all
eomers and tripped up falSirs and frauds
without number. His weekly publication
crisply written and widely read-has fully
justified its name. and been an influence for
sood wherever circulated.
Mr.. Labouehere who is SIXTY -four, gives
age as the reason for his retirement to
private life. When we consider the years
of the men who have made Great Britain
the political power that she is, and that
the prime minister who has just taken
office is seventy. maybe this Is to be ac-
cepted as ''Labbys" parting joke at the
expense of his colleagues.

The Man in Uniform.

Some weeks ago one of the high military
authorities submitted in the course Of his
annual report figures tending to show that
there is high percentage of desertion from
the ranks. and suggesting that one OF the
prime reasons was that the public estimate
OF the enlisted soldier is so low that men
are apt to leave the service for shame OF
the uniform. In a measure corroborative of
that idea Is the announcement that two SOL
diers were recently refused tickets to the
lower section OF local theater solely on the
ground that they were IN the uniform Of the
United States army. 1t Is not q matter for
wonder that the Secretaries Of War and
Navy are now considering ways and means
for correcting this tendency to discriminate
against their men.

Ware G LeIand's Market Letter.

There has been practically no change in the general conditions surrounding the cotton market this week.
 ! Prices have moved around aimlessly with no important change in the level though there has been frequent declines to about the low level of the season.
 The main features have been continued small movements of cotton in the south, showing the persistence of the south hold ing It's cotton. Receipts have increased to a limited extent over tine previous week. bringing the total up to about last year S figures for the corresponding week. When compared with the size of the crop, there Is very little cotton moving, and the southern holder continues to adhere to his ideas of higher prices in the long run As long as this policy is maintained the amount of cotton to be had at 61zc in the south is limited. and the movement is likely to continue on an extremely small scale. If this proves to be the case there will hardly be enough cotton in sight to fulfill all the contracts bought for March, May and July delivery, and this may end in a. better future market in New York and New Orleans.
