THE BETTER Plan.

Opposition TO the maximum minimum tariff
plan contained in the Payne bin is apparently
disappearing in Washington. 1t has disap-
neared for the reason that no one has been able
so far TO suggest a substitute plan more prac-
ticable OF more advantageous. Nobody seems
inclined TO favor the retention of a single rate
tariff for the Inconvenience of such tarir
have been felt in our attempts TO secure tarift
favors from countries employing the double rate.
Since the Dingley tariff has been in force we
nave had to depend on the limited concessions
on few unirnpurtaut articles sanctioned in the
reciprocity section of that measure to satisfy the
demands of countries with which we have ne
gotiated trade agreements, or have had to con-
cIrcIe commercial treaties suspending the Ding
lev rates and substituting others. Naturally
such treaties have encountered great opposition.
They have been. in effect, new tariff legislation
and have required the approval of the House OF
Representatives well as the approval or the
Senate. Nearly all Of them perished in Con
gress The Cuban reciprocity treaty, which sur
yived. was held up for nearly two years, and
became effective only because the political power
of the administration was exerted 10 the utmost
To compel the discharge Of our moral obligations
TO the Cuban people.
It seems TO be the desire Of those who talk
about reversing the Payne plan and giving Ihe
minimum rates only TO countries with a double
tariff system which also grant us minimum Qu-
ties 10 keep the maximum rates in operation as
far as possible It would be difficult to arrange
reciprocal concessions with countries Ike Great
Britain which do not have tariffs framed for
trading purposes The maximum rates would
therefore remain in force to n great extent, and
would have to be taken as the normal rates on
which to calcua te income. But that Income
would be subject to diminution as reciprocal
agreements multiplied. From revenue point
of view il would be wiser TO make the minimum
rates the basis Of estimates of income possible
occasional enforcement of the maximum rates
adding slightly TO the amount Of customs duties
collected From the point Of view Of protection
also t would be better policy TO let the nome
.7-oducer know at once the limit Of protection
10 which he would have TO adjust his industry.
He would be safeguarded against the sudden
and general substitution of lower rates for
higher rates. The minimum both Of protection
and revenue should be clearly established, and
the temporary application of the maximum rates
70 a small part of our importat!ons should be
treated as an accidental enlargement both Of
protection and revenue.
There is much greater certainty that the
minimum rates will prevail under the Payne
plan than under a plan which considered the
maximum rates as normal. The country wants
tariff rates lowered generally, and would view
with disapproval any arrangement which would
involve applying maximum rates except In an
emergency.

"STBJECTTVE" APPREHENSTONS.

We fear that our esteemed contemporary
The Brooklyn Eagle unconsciously impairs
the force of its protest against the adoption OF
the new charter on the ground that that instru-
ment will reduce the Borough Of Brooklyn to
state of philippine subjectivity," by giving
circulation to population forecasts which show
that Brooklyn is soon to wrest political prImacy
from "overshadowing Manhattan" Calling at
tention to an address made by Mr.. Benjamin g
Marsh, of the congestion committee, The
Eagle" said yesterday:
Another interesting thing about Mr.. Marsh's
address was the estimate of future population
figured out by the congestion committee. BY
1880 that body expects an increase OF 6.OO0o0Q
for the entire city with a withdrawal of 100000
residents from lower Manhattan. being driven
out by the growth OF business. The great bulk

If in the next two decades Manhattan is To

sary risks Of their work; and that questions CT

and the like are 10 be determined by the courts
as matters Of fact.
The measure is, on the whole, an exceedingly
interesting one and is probably an improvement
upon the avs of New York and Massachusetts,
after which it was partly modelled. 1t is
noteworthy circumstance that the author of the
bill. Senator Alderman, is himself large en-
pIoyer of labor in an industry which is by no
means exempt from dangers. In preparing the
bill he not only made exhaustive study Of
existing laws and their operation, but also con-
suited all important employers of abor and all
leading representatives of organized labor in the
state with the result that the provisions of the
bill were made acceptable to both employers ana
ennIoyes In such circumstances 1t was not
sr,rnrjsing that his bill passed by the state
Senate last week by an all but unanimous vote,
and there is TO be expected and certainly de-
sired for it this week similar reception by the
Assembly. Its enactment into law will mark
substantial advance in benefcent industrial
and social legislation, fttingly effected in one of
the most important industrial states Of the
Union.
