HEW TOBK DEMOCRATS AHD THE TARIFF.
It is besoming more and more certain
every day that the tariff will be the chief
question at issue between the two great
parties in the next presidential election.
The republicans will endeavor to add to
this a campaign of sentiment by drag
ging in the battle flags and the bloody
whirl, but this will be of small importance
and of small effect compared with the
living Issue which divides the parties.
The democratic convention of New
York, in session yesterday, had the honor
of formulating the first definite plans in
reference to tariff reduction. They de
mand first a reduction or an ahilition
of duties on raw material, and next on
the ordinary clothing of the laboring
men, and after that on certain other
articles not specified in the platform.
This is much better than the blind,
horizontal reduction proposed by Mr.
Morrison. While vve think Hint duties
might be reduced on nearly all articles
with benefit to the country, wo think
the first and greatest reductions should
he made where the greatest number of
people will be benefited.
Our duties on raw material have been
not simply a drain on the resources of
consumers of manufactured goods, but
also on those of the manufac
turers themselves. These duties have
done much towards narrowing the
territory tributary to our manufacturies,
and confining our goodB to our own
country. The cost of manufacturing
has been advanced, and where our in
dustries have had to meet foreign com
petition, on equal terms, they have
failed.
Our manufacturers are gradually wak
ing up to the fact that protection is not
an unmixed blessing to them.
We think that some time they
will realize the fact that it
comeB much nea'er being an untnixed
curse. Our country (and it is like every
country in this respect) needs stability of
values. Nothing so much tends to bring
ruin upon a people as sudden fluctua
tions in prices. A manufactured article
may bring a high price one year and a
very low one the next. The high prices
of one year will causo increased produc
tion the next, and increased production
will bring low prices and then will fol
low disaster ami ruin. This involves
labor as well as capital.
When the factories fail they not sim
ply bring ruin on those who have money
invested in them, but throw out of em
ployment tiie workmen employed, and
they share the general distress.
We know of but one remedy for this.
If our market is broadened tbore will
be little chance for production.
It is very hard to either
overstock or understock a narrow mar
ket, but a broad market cannot be affect
ed to any greatextentby local production.
After all, natural laws are better than
human enactments for a nation’s pros
purity. I iood human laws aid them, and
when we find a law which seeks to check
the operations of nature we may safely
say it is a had one,
Louis T. Bobisso has been awarded the
contract for the monument of President
Harrison to be erected at Cincinnati, O.
The monument is to cost $20,000. The
famous sculptor Ezekiel was llobisso’s
most prominent rival for tho contract
Bebisso was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1837.
Ho went to Cincinnati in 1857 and has
made a high reputation as a sculptor.
He modelled the McPherson statue in
Washington.
The Atlanta Journal gets off the follow
ing on the Constitution:
We are inclined to think that when
the agents of the whisky ring get through
with Mr. Kundall they will agree that he
is a very stiff-kneed statesman.—Atlanta
Constitution.
Mr. Randall is in favor of tho repeal
of the tax on whisky and tobacco. This
is because Mr. Randall is in favor of the
taritt' that taxes the people for the benefit
of Pennsylvania monopolies.—Atlanta
Constitution, October 11,1883.
Secretary Whitney lias the reputation
of being a very charitable man, and the
result is that his mail is filled every day
with begging letters from all parts of tnc
country. There is no limit to the variety
of requests made of him. One young
man writes to borrow $1000, a minister
wants the secretary to repair his chureli
for him, a widow modestly asks Mr
Whitney to pay for her daughter's
schooling, a man living on the shores of
Lake Superior wants the navy depart
ment to send him a gun-boat, und so on
ml infinitum.
Tbe Philadelphia Telegraph holds that
no government, federal, state or rnunici
jial, can properly or safely arrogate to it
a?elf such paternal authority as that of
nterfering with personal contracts be-
s ween the employer and tiie employed
deciding who shall be employed, who
not employed; what wages shall be paid
'■'hat not paid; what hours this man
■ ball work, and what hours another. A
federal board of arbitration to interfere
with the private contracts of citizens
would be a monstrously umdemocratic
thing, and one as much at war with our
institutions of government as could he
conceived.
Sr BIT or THE PEERS.
Should the brilliant young editor of the
Constitution “kick the bucket,” and pro
hibition in Atlanta “give up the ghost,”
the New Orleans States would collapse for
want of editorial matter. We hope it may
live and flourish maDy days.—Atlanta Cap
itol.
The way to make Birminirbam an order
ly city is to have good street illumination,
stronger police force and to wipe out
those localities that bear the euphoneous
appellations “Buzzards’ Roost” and
Scratch Ankle.”—Birmingham Herald.
“Another loud appeal for northern
brains to go south Is heard. A southern
paper says ‘God give us men.”” So says
the Detroit Tribune. Well so be it! But
providence knows that the term does not
include the western breed of republicans.
Macon Telegraph.
At a reception given to Fred Douglass, In
Washington City, the ticket named for
ISsd was Lincoln a.id Douglass. It will
evidently be hard to rally bleeding Kansas
and Ohio behind it.—Macon Telegraph.
Herr Most says the socialists have no use
for Americans. Americans certainly have
no use for Herr Most, and if they were not
the best nutured people In the world, they
would long ago have shipped him and his
howlers back to Europe, to serve the
terms of imprisonment awaiting most of
them in the land of their birth.—Augusta
News.
All the evidence goes to prove that the
toplcotton crop, of which so much was ex
pected, will amount to practically nothing.
The commercial world is misled as to the
extent of this year’s crop, because of the
heavy receipts this early in the season.
Tbe later months will tell the tale and
show that the aggregate of the crop of 1887
will be but litjle better than that of 1886.—
Montgomery Advertiser.
General Butler thinks the principal part
of tbe revenue ought to be raised by a tax
incomes. If a law to that effect was
passed, the hardest thing in America to
find would be an income. The increase
in the number of poor men would be
fiightful.—Savannah News.
Anarchism must not be allowed to get a
footing in this country. If the seven con
demned anarchists at Chicago escape just
punishment anarchists will be emboldened
thereby to an extent that will endanger
the entire country.—Albany News and

mmi> WORDS FOU THE PRESIDENT.
The democratic convention of Now
York express no uncertain opinion of
the national administration. Tho follow-
is from tho platform unanimously
adopted by thorn yesterday :
The democrats of Now York appro- e
the administration of Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States. It Iuib
won the respect and confidence of all
citizens without regard to party.
It has removed that ap
prehension of danger which would at
tach to a change of party in the fed
eral administration, which has been a
serious obstacle to tho return of our sys
tem of free government dependent up
on the popular will. It lias brought back
honesty and simplicity to the conduct
of affairs. It has chocked tho waste of
public monies, and insisted upon their
devotion to constitutional purposes. It
has effected the practical reform
of this civil service. It has
maintained a national character for
justice and forbearance in dealings with
foreign countries. Its management of
the treasury has been signally wise and
prudent, and it has begun tho reconstruc
tion of our naval establishment with a
thoroughness that promises a restoration
of our ancient prestige upon tho sea.
Wherefore we, representing tho demo
crats of the slate of New York, in con
vention assembled, again pledge out-
strong and unshaken confidence and
support.”
These are strong words of
dorsement, They could not have
been made stronger. They cover the
whole ground, but they could not hav
done less and been fully just to tbe hon
est and able men who are at the head of
our national affairs.
The convention endorsed tho adminis
tration of Governor Hill as well sj Presi
dent Cleveland. New York is proud of
both men, but one is the property and
the pride of the whole country. Or
by one the states, through their
conventions are endorsing the adminis
tration of President Cleveland, and it
looks as i', when the national convention
meets, he will be renominated by uccla
matiou. If our people appreciate honesty
and integrity and ability as we think
they do, lie will be his own successor,
and will give our country four more yean
of good government.
It is thought the navy department re
fused to accept the resignation of Rear
Admiral Luce ou the ground that the
country needed somebody to superintend
naval banquets, aud to do the correct thing

The wheat crop of Oregon is the largest ever

11 Plie carving of the inscriptions on the pedestal

The Maharanee Dhudeep Singh, whose death
