Banuuo's Ghost.

AS vet the tariff duties for structural
ma tcrlal lin San Francisco have not been
removed, but the question having been
once opened, will not down. Banduo's
ghost was more welcome at Macbeth s
banquet than this discussion has been
in q Republican Congress. 1t will also
be recalled that Banauos ghost declined
to leave upon being requested to do SO.
Already the Democrats are preparing to
renew the fight against the protective
tariff In those Instances where 1t can be
shown that the protective Industries are
able to sell their products abroad for far
less than IS paid by the American con-
sumer. We have seen In America the
extraordinary development of such in
dnstrics rs the United States Steel Cor
Plate Trust is at least an example Of
what a protective tariff can do. But
when once solid structure is erected, 1t
is neither customary or slightly to leave
the scaffoldlng still startling
Tho truth is that America has become
a great manufacturing center, ana as
such the most important problems be-
fore us, next to that OF distribution. are
those Of supply and the price OF raw ma

any virtue or benefit of itself. why did
the Republicans fear to follow their own
example Of 1865 and 1871 by removing the
tariff for the benefit Of San Francisco?
such n course will cost the government
worry little and will mean enormous adj
vantage and help to that stricken city

iniQultous and unnecessary II is. they

pondent OF the New York Tribune points
out that this rate Is not caused by fnu-
i1cpal trading In any form. The street
car lines and electric and water ser,
vice are self-sustaining and pay full m
terest on the capital invested in them
and one-half OF the present tax ratio Is
accounted for by the large outlay Hlaue

It seems that in tho enter OF WolVer-
hampton near ST. Peters Church. there
was a low. unsghtly and very unhealthS
area. This, the the city at great expense
bought, cleaned, beautlfled and laid out
in wide bo,,evards and streets. Tie Ell
feet of this was Immediately TO reduce
the death rate SO that from having beeh
one of the most unhealthy, 1t became
one Of the most sanitary of cities, and IN
the opinion of the Tribune correspondent
the taxpayers are well satisfied with the,
expense they have incurred. The most
difficult problem that Wolverhampton.
had to face was how to dispose ofsits
sewage AT great expense and trouble.
1t built sewage plant that Is capap4e
of handling 1900 tons Il week and the
latest devices of rain filtration for purfifi-
cation Of the sewage have been applied
In that city.
The Tribune correspondent in summing
up draws three conclusions. His first
moral is that municipal operation has
not been ren1unera tive enough to reduce
the cost of other expenses to which the
city has been put but he sees no reason to
think that municipal operation has been
unreasonahly extraVagant or careless.
His second moral Is that the high tax
rate Of Nolverhampton results from
special causes unconnected with the city's
operation Of street car lines, electric ana
water works and similar undertakings.
Finally he thinks that efficiency in local
administration is we'll worth paying for,
even If valuations increase and the rates
with them; and this Is supplied In Wolver-
hampton as in other English towns be-
cause the most Influential men consider
It n public obligation to look after the
business Of the community without other
reward than good conscience; ana pc
cause also there is n permanent civil
service untaintcd with politics and men
are trained in it as a life work.
