GERu4YY'S FISCAL PROBLEM.

In voting the Budget and then taking a recess
until April 20 the German Reichstag has given
the government breathing space in which 70
nrepare for a serious controversy. It seems
practically certain that radical settlement Of
the financial problem of the empire will he
undertaken as soon as the Reichstag reassenl-
hIes If that not the intention of the
Chancellor and the Minister Of Finance, we
sbonId scarcely have the semi-offciaI North
German Gazette" pointing out that every days
deJav costs the nation $4,000 and that if the
reform bill is not passed now, 1t will have to
wait until next year at a cost of S125. 100000
increase Of the national debt and 100000 a
rear in interest. The government is, indeed. so
thoroughly committed to the reforms which 1t
has proposed that il would be sOrely discredited
If II LET the bill fail or even he postponed for a
wear. 1t Is probably not too much to say. as
has been said by judiclous observers. that if
the measure Is not now adopted, the alternative
must he either dissolution of the Reichstag or
postponement of the legislation until next year,
in either of which cases the resignation Of the
Chancellor would he practically inevitable
The chief difficulty of the problem OF taxa
tion reform lies. as we have explained, In the
comnosition Of the Reichstag. There is no ma
ioritv PARTY in that body. The government has
majority, but IL is not homogeneous and
stable but consists Of a bloc" or coalition Of
factions which are by no means entirely
agreed among themselves Now. the Chan
ceIIor is not constitutionaly dependent upon a
majority in the Reichstag. hut by his own
recent utterances and by recent incidents of
importance he has been practically made so,
and IL Is understood that If the Reichstag should
reject any measure Of capital Importance pro-
posed by him, such this tax BILL he would
at once resign. OF course, he does not want to
do that. and the Emperor does not want him TO,
wherefore they are both trying TO find a way
of persuading the bloc 10 support the bill now
nending But the Conservatives. who form an
essential part Of 1t. declare that they will never
agree 10 the proposed Increase of death duties
while the Liberals who form another essential
element of the coalition, are equally resoute
not to vote for any part OF the bill unless the
death duties are enacted.
The Centre party. which Is outside of the
bloc" is not unwilling to do the government a
good turn, provided that it can thus demon
strate its power. 1t would probably unite with
either of the major factions in the 'bloc' TO
secure the enactment of the bill if the govern
ment sigpifed its willingness to receive such
aid. And, indeed, IL is said that the Emperor
favors such a course. and has suggested to the
Chancellor that he should accept any votes

MR. CLARK AND HIS CRITICS.

The Inconsistencies of the Democratic party's
attitude toward tariff legislation thor
cllehly exposed bv Representative Clark, Of
florida in his speech In the House last Monday.
Mr. Clark asserts that he is as good Demo
crat as his nsmesske, the Hon. Champ Clark.
of Missouri. and insists that his ideas ara as
much in harmony with the Democratic doctrines
of the past as are the ideas of any Of his party
colleagues Yet he announces that he is a pro
sectionist and that whenever the Democratic
parfy declares for free trade he shall cease 10 be
a Democrat.
There is much support 10 he found for Mr..
Clark's contention that the Democratic party
has given countenance in the past 10 protection
ist notions II has in fact. tried TO occupy three
different positions on the tariff issue. II has
listed sometimes toward free trade but most of
its free traders have prudently advocated merely
freer trade unde- the cover Of a tariff for rev
eDue only. and good many Of the advocates Of
tariff for revenue have insisted that such a
tariff ought TO be framed so as to afford in
cidental protection. The Democratic national
platform Of 1855 was a retreat from the posi-
ZION taken by Mr.. Cleveland and the Mills
AIorrison-C Carlisle-Eest school in 1887. The
platform Of 1892 was more radical. because
Colonel Henry Watterson upset the plans of the
Cleveland managers and had az 'insurgent''
resolution of his OVID authorship adopted. But
Mir. Cleveland repldiated the WatterSon resolu-
ton and when the Democratic party got into
power IN both branches Of Congress il passed a
tariff bin which was not drawn for purposes of
revenue only, but patchwork OF schedules,
some giving incidental and some giving inten-
fional protection
The confusion Of ideas on the Democratic
side of the House well illustrated when
Mr.. Randell. Of Texas, asked Mr.. Clark what
was supposed 10 be a most entangllng question.
ltwas:
Is the gentleman a Cleveland Democrat on
the tariff and does he stand on the doctrine Of
free raw material?
But Mr. Clark replied: Il am just a plain
osd-fashioned Democrat" He might have gone
on 10 show as Mr.. Underwood, Of Alabama did
the other day, that the Cleveland idea Of free
