REVISING THE TARIFF.

If the Republicans win the coming
election the tariff will be revised
raised by its friends, of course-and re-
vised upward and downward, as the
needs and avarice of the protected in
terests will dictate There will be
great deal Of fun when it j. done. Dal-
zell will he there to see that there is a
fair revision of the duties on steel aud
iron products and on glass. Allison
will he there to Sc that there is far
revision IF the duties on hides, horns
ond hog products. Aldrich will be
tn, re To see that there is a fair revision
of the duties on cotton fabrics, aud
new clause to cover every possible i'm
portai ions of Ill from the ORR Mt as well
as from Russia Depew will be there
to see that there will be = fair revision
of the duties on agricultural machin-
cry, paper and wood pulp. Every
great special interest will be repre-
ssnted there, but those who want lower
duties will not be there. They viii
not lie invited to the entertainment.
No man VIII" Is not willing to protect
the trusts will have the entree to the
festival. Th4re Will be great sport, but
everything will be respectable and up
lifting. Every schedule will lie uplift.
ed, II the trusts think il desirable.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.

The Constitution of the United States
and the principle of national right
seem to be regarded ny the trusts as
sanvenient shelters wherever their
special privileges are attacked, but as
mere rubbish TO be brushed aside,
whenever they, on the other hand, de-
sign to encroach upon the rights of the
public. In the opinion Of the trusts,
privilege and tariff protection mean
safety aud advantage to themselves
alone, and include the policy of plum
dering the multtudes without respon-
sibi'ity. Those Franker steius consti-
tute HE real peril of our age and coun-
try.
