TJlBIFF REFORM HROWUO IK
OOiff ..u/.j WHB&Hm
''It la gratifying i to *9* that, at
last, the new York. World, which
alt along hot been a atannoh pro
tectiqn journal, acknowledges that
tariff reform is a .necessity.. In a
late editorial article it says:
■ In raising the revenue tho Dem
ocrats will strive tb relieve persons
of' small means by imposing the
bhavlest taxes on luxuries and the
lightest on necessaries. The whis
key tax Will be about the last they
will remove. They will, no donbt,
be'willing to give the poor man
•free tobacco, but they will not re
tsmve the tax from cigars, because
'they are W luxuryi
■ If-the fraudulent candidacy of
Ben Butler bad succeeded in elec-
ting Blaine and seouring a Repub
lican House of Representatives
tbo internal revenue taxes
wbieki
been'
Qjvaw
opolles and make them more than
ever tyrants - over labor might
bavptaken their place. But the
administration of President Cleve
land: will guard the interests of
labor, and will, when it has the
power, so remodel the tax system,
as.to bring once more into opera
tion tho principle that the burden
of taxation, while fairly imposed,
shall fall principally on those who
can best bear it.
The World is shrewd enough to
ifcfc that if it wanta to retain its in
fluence with its party it must be in
harmony with it upon the most im
portant question that is now before
ilie'country-. At the last session of
Congress the aim of the protec
tionists,: Democrats as well as Re
publicans; was to abolish the inter
nal nvanna taxes. The World now
ssfmits that the oountry is not pre
pared to have the tax removed from
whisky and tobacco in order that a
high protective tariff may be main
tained. It Is not at all probable
that any attempt will be made at
the coming session ot Congress to
-’ rednee tariff taxes, but tho Demo
cratic party in tho next Congress
will do what it can to carry out ita
policy ot tarifl reform. The tariff
reform sentiment in the next House
will be stronger than it is in this.
The proteotionists in the House
will not be able to obstruct any
tariff legislation that the tariff re
form Democrats may propose.

id Mr. O. 8. Smith, of Washington,
Ga., hat written a long letter to
the Washington Gazette, In which
he takOt'tbe ground that the South
■hould not be greedy during Cleve
land’s administration, but that ehe
•hould not ait quietly by and be
willing to tke all the important
Federal offices filled by Northern
nun. He, very justly, claims that
the South, as it will have to bear
its share of the ‘burdens of
the administration, should' claim
>iU share of the honors. This
Is:'tho correct view to take.
Thb 'South will not be exact
ing In her demands, nor will she be
unfaithful to the Democracy if she
is Ignored in the -distribution of
executive favors, but ehe will. cer
tainly expect that her local offices
Will be filled by Southern men rath
er than by strangeri.
