THE BAILEY-WALKER DEMOCRATS

The vote in the Senate on Mr.. McCumberS
amendment transferring rough lumber to the
free list showed even more strikingly than the
vote on making iron ore free how hopelesSly
divided the Democrats in the Senate are on the
tariff issue. 1t was possible to argue when the
duty on iron ore was under consideration that
traditional Democratic doctrine sanctioned a
moderate revenue duty on ore. The Demo
cratic party had. of course been advocating for
years the policy of free raw materials. But, as
Mr. Bailey said. il was also advocating at the
same time a tariff for revenue and looking with
more or less favor the levying Of duties
which. while yielding revenue, would give sub
stantial incidental protection. Mr.. Bailey and
the other Democrats who voted with him to put
duty on iron maintained that they were
at liberty 10 interpret for themselves the not
very clear or consistent declarations of prin-
ciple embodied in Democratic national plat
forms.
So far as lumber is concerned however, there
is no room for individual construction. The
last Democratic national platform said:
. We demand the immediate repeal of the tariff
on pulp. print paper lumber, timber and logs,
and that these articles be placed upon the free
list
That policy may be unwarranted. as we believe
If TO be- and the Democratic platform was GER
tanly indiscreet in singing out few articles
for special treatment; yet it is the Democratic
partys deliberately declared policy and it ought.
therefore 10 be binding on Democrats who
claim TO be orthodox and regular. Seventeen
Democratic Senators repudiated the explicit
recommendation of the platform and only ten
voted to carry it into effect. On the tariff issue
the mandate of the party at large has become
n matter of jest TO nearly two-thirds Of the
Democrats in the Senate.
Mr.. Bailey complained not long ago that
did him injustice in pointing out that he
and those acting with him had broken with
what had long been understood to be the essen
tial tariff policy of the Democratic organiZa
tion. That policy TO reduce duties wher
ever possible. to prefer the lower duty to the
higher duty whenever there was a choice, and
10 pave the way for a lowering of the general
average of protection by putting raw materials
of all sorts the free list. The Texas Senator
says that the free raw materials theory is all
wrong and was formulated for the purpose of
making Democratic votes in New England. He
announces that he never personally subscribed
TO II, and that he condemned it on the stump

THIRD AVENUES FRANCHISE IAAEH'
The city appears 10 be acting arbitrarily IN
advertising the property Of the Third Avenue
Railroad Company for sale for nonpaEment or
franchise taxes rs the correspondence pfintcd
elsewhere sufficiently shows. The Third Ave
nue. road is taxed very heavily for its tran
chses. according 10 what principle the receiver,
Mr. Whitridge. who has discussed the subject
with the State Board Of Taxation. has never
been able 10 find out But even though the
Court of Appeals has never passed upon this
question of the principle upon which franchises
should he assessed Mr. Whitridge is willing to
pay taxes in accordance with the opinion OF a
referee In one case. whose opinion has been up
held by an Appellate Division. The Finance
Department of the city figured that, in accord
ance with that opinion. Mr. Whtridge's com
pany owed S1,25O0O0. The receiver of the
Third Avenue company thought 1t should he
only a little more than S10O0000. and Con
trolIer Metz the Counsel to the Corporation and
he agreed 10 leave the question to an arbitrator.
But since then the representative of the Attor-
ney General has taken the position that nothing
can he done until the Court of Appeals has
rendered its opinion in the Jamaica Water Com
pauy case before il Net. although the
city has agreed to arbitration it proceeds to ad-
vertise the property of the Third Avenue com
pany for sale Moreover. the city itself cal
yet it advertiseS the property for sale for the
whole amount Of the taxes due in accordance
with the original assessment.
This illustrates anew what The Tribune nss
been constantly saying about the need OF
court decision clearing up the franchise tax
situation and establishing some rule for the as
sessment Of franchises. It Is the fashion 10
abuse the corporations for not paying these
taxes, but when read such illustrations Of
their mysterious and anomalous character "a
that contained in recent letter to The Tcib-
une about the assessment Of the Long Island
Railroad for franchises to cross streets. where
in il was shown that these franchises were
assessed at S1.0O0,OOO 4 mile. IT becomes plain
that no corporation management IN its senses
should think of paying these taxes until the
courts have passed on them. Meanwhile, N
this case of the Third Avenue company the
city having agreed to arbitration and The
ceiver being willing and anxious to pay the
award. the Controller should postpone his sale.

in Texas when he entered the campaign to de-
feat Senator Roger Q. Mills for reelection de
adds that he wrote the tariff plank of the Demo
cratic national platform Of 1S96-a plank Whlch
omitted all reference to raw materials and SIM
ply favored tariff for revenue.
But political exigences dictated that retl-
cence just as they had governed carrier III the
advocacy Of free raw materials in the hope oI
making party capital in New England. In 1ooo
and 1892 the South based its hopes on an am
ance with the doubtful Eastern states. In 1880
it took up free silver coinage. and made an anu
ance with the strong protection states OF tue
Rocky Mountain region and the Pacitc COAST
1t was not expediont then to lay much stress on
tariff reform. and Mr. Baileys coOrlesS plank
was accepted as a useful makeshift. 1t can
not he maintained that what the Democratic
party did under exceptional circumstances III
1896 cancels the obligations it has since put
upon its representatives. especially those OF the
platform of 1868 Mr. Bryan is not an ardent
tariff reformer and is reluctant to interfere In
The disputes now enGendered by Democranc
divisions in Congress. Yet he justly said the
other day:
The Democratic platform demanded nee
lumber and I believe a platform is DHluIHS
upon all who run upon It, and it ought to nave
weight with the members of the party VINO "tl@
elected before the platform was adopted
Mr.. Bailey and his followers may have more
sensible ideas than the delegates to the Denver
convention had. But they cannot make the
country think that they have not dehed 'he

instrument into ridicule and contempt

CUBI-S FISCAL PBoBLEJL

Cuba appears 10 need Hamilton WHO, to
adapt Nebster's historic phrases shall sIniIe
the. rock of national resources and cause abun-
dant streams of revenue 10 GuSh forth, and
shall touch the dead corpse of public credit and
cause il 10 spring upon its feet. Or, if it bc un-
just 10 speak of Cuban public credit as dead
such 4 man is needed 10 protect it from Il
threatening and possibly fatal maIady- For be
yopd dispute reports from that republic con-
cerning its fiscal affairs are disquieting. We
need not accept al their face value the extreme
estimates of tie forthcoming budget Of eX-
penditureS. The most conservative forecast
which is given indicates a considerable def
ieit and if we accept as conclusive the Presi-
dental promise that n bond issue shall not be
made 10 increase the public debt the only al
tentative is 10 look 10 the worse than dubious
operations OF national lottery 10 make the
budget balance.
There is DO reasonable ground for doubling
that under All efficient and economical admin
isTrarion the revenues of the island would be
sufficient TO meet all legitimate expenses. Gov
ernor Msgoons last budget showed q revenue
Of So. 100000 aud expenditures OF only S24-
10000. leaving a comfortable surplus There
NAV be Il shrinkage OF she revenue ii the next
fiscal year due TO the decline of the import
trade. bat it ought 10 be possible 10 make
coed the decline in that direction by an in
crease of revenue elsewhere. And surely, in
the face Of a decline in trade though we
assume i: 10 be only temporary. there can
be no urgent reason for 80 greatly increasing
expenditures. Solse little increase in some d-
rections may be Ifeeded which might be Offset
BY retrenchmeHt elsewhere: but there can be
no justification FIR the eXtravagant plans for
new public buildings and other costly enter
I,riseS which are reported
The root of the trouble probably lies in the
