PARTY PLEDGES ON TARIFF.
What Will the Coming National Con-
Vention Declare For.

When a Republican politician has
been mixed up with the trusts, rail
roads and ship subsidy for 20 years,
as Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor has, he
can see but little on the popular side
of those questions. His defeat by his
own party for a denomination for con
greSs may have also given him a
more narrow view of political affairs.
Before leaving for Europe for a com.
plete rest" Gen. Grosvenor is report
ed to have said: "The Democratic
party itself is inclined to leave the
tariff ale l don't mean that the
rank and ale of the party are stand
patters, but at heart they are protec-
tionists and the tariff plank in the
next Democratic platform will be a
protectionist plank" How extraor-
binary this statement is al be best
understood when it is known that not
one of the Democratic members of
the next congress was elected on a
protectionist platform, and every n
Of them would vote for a tariff reform
Oii, IL thC 1tCPuOllCaHo "Oulu II
such a measure to be considered.
There are two or three Democratic
members of congress who represent
districts in Louisiana and Texas,
where sugar is grown, that would per-
haps insist that the protection that
interest now enjoys should be contin-
ued, but even they would gladly vote
for the elimination of the differential
duty the sugar trust enjoys OF one
ninth cent a pound mora than the
duty paid on raw sugar.
Now, with Democrats everywhere
demanding tariff reform and especial
ly asking that protection to those
trusts that sell cheaper abroad than
here be abolished, with what evidence
can Gen. Grosvenor predicate his as
sertion that Democrats cat heart are
protectionists?" AS everyone with a
Small income is feeling the burden OF
high trust prices and the consequent
large increase In the cost of living,
even those Republicans who do not
participate in trust profits are de-
handing tariff revision, and in some
states Republicans are quite freely
committed to free coal, free hides, or
free lumber and reciprocity with Can.
ada. The difference between the
Democrats and the tariff revision Re.
publicans is the extent Of the reform
that shall be brought about, the
Democrats generally being for a tariff
for e and those Republicans
who favor any tariff revision are for a
reduction of the tariff that protects
the trusts. but still protecting them
enough to prevent competition from
the importation of foreign goods.

SHIP SUBSDlES--NO
A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION OF
THEIR IMPRACTABILlTY.
A Little incident That Should Put a
Damper on Republican Enthusi-
asm for This Form of Graft.

The country has just been favored
with an unmistakable object lesson on
the nature of the scheme of ship SUBJ
sides. The coaling of the fleet on
its way around South America will be
the chief item of extra expense be-
yond that of maneuvering in home wa
tiers. The natural and bus.lesslike
way OF securing this service was to
advertise for 1t and give the work
to the lowest bidders. But, when this
was proposed, the subsidy hunters
began with one accord to protest
against going into the open market
and taking their chances with for
eign competitors. To appease them,
they were offered the enormous bonus
of so per cent. advance in price over
the lowest foreign bidders.
But even this enormous and unjusti-
fable bounty does not tempt them. A
contract for supplying some 10000 or
$1,000 tons of coal a month is certain
ly worth taking. Much more when
the bidder Is assured of half as much
again as somebody else will do the
work for. But three of the four Amer
lean bidders have withdrawn. The
fourth explains that his ship a do
the work at the market rate plus 90
per cent, only because she is already
engaged in the Hawaiian trade. And
so 95 per cent. OF the coaling of the
American fleet Is to be done by for
eign Golfers.
The next time that n Of the ad-
vocates Of ship subsidies undertakes
to tell a committee of congress that
the margin of difference is after all
not so very great and that a moderate
subsidy will make it up, this unim-
~peachable testimony Of the open mar
ket will rise up to confute him. On
the showing in this transaction, 1t
will cost more than half as much
again to carry goods in American bot
toms than it costs to carry them in
foreign bottoms. How much more
may be a matter of conjecture, but
the American taxpayer will have to
make up more than a third Of the
total freight bills of the subsidized
ships. Much enduring creature as he
Is, that prospect ought to startle him.

HIS PHEASANT SERVICE"
May Have Been SO for Plat, But How
About the Public?

In the same connection in which
Senator Thomas G.. Plat of New York
announced that he would be as of old
a power in the United States, il his
legs were only as good as his mind,
it is specially to be noted that he pro-
poses to resume his duties in the
United States senate" and that he
looks forward to pleasant service
during the rest of his term in that
great body"
What is this pleasant service" to
mean to the country? Since he was
elected to the United States senate in
1881, since he resigned with Senator
Conkling in the attempt to control
federal patronage in New York, Mr..
Plat has found prominence in public
life pleasant and profitable. Now,
when he regrets that his legs are not
as active as his mind, he expects to
find the United States senate still
pleasant and presumably profitable.
If after a quarter of a century he
still offers his example in the public
service as that of the ideal Republic
an leader. in what respect is the oun
try the better for it? When he closes
his pleasant service, with his mind
still as good, we may hope, as it was
when his only known sacrifice was
made in a quarrel over patronage, to
what can he point as more notable
In his long career than that which
first gave him his national notoriety?
If his pleasant service has left the
country in any way the better the
country does not know it. OF much
that might be said on the other side,
the less said now the more likely he
is to find public life still pleasant.
But, whether much is said or not, GER
tainly enough ought to be remem
bered to redeem the senate from the
possibility Of remaining a pleasant
place for the Platts of the future
st. Louis Republic.

Endorsing Johnson.

AS showing the drift of Democratic
sentiment and the hope of uniting the
party on a winning candidate, a large
number of editors are inclined to think
that Gov. Johnson of Minnesota is
one of the most available candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
president. For instance, the Journal OF
Hastings, Mich, says:
There is something more than sug-
gestion in the name Of Gov. Johnson
Of Minnesota. He Is a Democratic
governor of a state which gives a
normal majority of 10000 to the Re-
publican ticket. At the election last
year he had SO, 900 majority. He is of
Swedish origin; brainy, self poised,
thoroughly honest and terribly in earn
est as to reform Of every department
of public service.
He is not radical in any use of the
term. He was elected because the peo-
pie of Minnesota had confidence in his
ability, integrity and will power.

by the corporation element than
Bryan; therefore. it will be well to

In a walking trip a milestone along
