WBDNE30AY tf VBNINO, APRIL. 0, 18H4 rcNRSjlraiila'A Cnndlilate ana the TarlfT. The Allentown convention is reputed te be very harmonious, tliere being 11 practically unanimous sentiment among the delegate In favor of the selection of Mr. Kandall ns tite candidate of the Pennsylvania Democracy for the presi dential nomination. Mr. Handall is present, mid must feel a very deep grntl grntl ficatlen at this expression of confidence and high appreciation from the Demec racy of his atate. It is an expression which he lms well deserved in his long career in the public scrr.ee; and what ever may be the result of it at the national convention it is a triumph richly repaying the labor and eacritlces that have secured it. We are In sym pathy with the feeling whlcli has wen for Mr. Italidnil this 7?nuTu at Allen t.e - town He has been an intelligent, earnest and upright representative of the Jople and has earned their high reward. The chnncu of Mr. Randall's nemlna tlen by the national convention would be much better, but for the tariff agitn tlen which is new unsettling the party and taking its attention from the mere important issues upon which the presl dential battle should be fought. Penn sylvania has the reputation of being de voted te n high protective tariff, and stands se apart from many of her sister Democratic states as te cause them te leek upon her as a black sheep in the Heck. And the devotion te wool shown by the late vete of her representatives in Uengresa in favoref the increase of duly upon it, will net, In our opinion, tend te remove this feeling nud permit her can didate for president te receive the vote in the national convention which his distinguished merit nnd services would etherwise Invite for him. The support given by Mr. Handall nnd his Democratic colleagues from Pennsylvania te the Ohie preposition te increase the wool duty, while it may invite te him the vote of that state, will drive from him mere votes than It will give him. The vote was net in accord with the general current of public sentiment ever the country, as we read it, for that does net call for an incraisa of duties even where it does net demand a decrease. We have regarded Mr. Handall as holding te the conservative opinion that the tariff should net new again Ih tinkered, se seen after its late readjust ment ; and this we still thluk te be his general view ; the exception te it which he has made in response te the Ohie de mand for a higher duty en wool was a concession which we de net believe Wits politic or wise. Pennsylvania, while standing firm in her demand for the retention of such rates of duty as are really needed by her Industries', should net exhibit herself as demanding what she can de without; nnd her political influence with her uhter states will be furthered by her showing as much unselfishness as she cm manifest while doing the banst jtntice te heitelf. In the present situation of her trade nnd manufactures all she can fairly ask is that the tariff shall be let alone ; and she ought net te ask fur outside inter cats what she does net demand for her own. Tf it is right te oppose the Morri son bill ns an unnecessary revision of the tariff, it was wrong te support the Cen veree preposition te raise the duty en wool. The votes of Pennsylvania Dem ecratic representative cast for It seem te us te have lacked in consistency and geed policy. Hell Interest Everything. These who advocate untaxed, mi conditional and absolute free trade be tween our nation and ethers defend their position upon the ground that our in terests demand It. They de net claim it as a matter of justice te tt e people of ether nations. We lay protective re strictiens against free immigration and naturalization, which they de net com plain of. We will net allow anyene but a native e the country te be eligible te Its chief magistracy ; and with that they are centeut. They think it go d for the country te expel the Chinese t require a five years' residence of foreigners pre paratory te citizenship, and te bar for eigners from the the presldmc) ; Justus we think it a geed for the ceui.tr te liar foreign iron from it. We want 1 1 use ournative material for our presidents and pig iron ; as it is, the supply of both is far In excess of the demand. It may be that It would be wise, since this is se, te let in the supply of the whole world, en the theory that it cau't be werse than it Is, nnd may be better. But the point we are making is that in each case it is the balance of self interest that is called in te decide it. If it would be better for us, nnd worse for the foreigners te take afeielgn president, we would all be for taklug liltn ; just as we would all b3 for taking foreign Iren, If we thought It was te our Interest. Prem which we deduce the conclusion that the free trade statesman Is net en titled te take en the air of peculiar sanctity which he is went te assume and te charge upon his protectionist adver sary a selfishness, of which he is equally guilty. It is the old and familiar exhi bition of the Phntlsee that we see In the white robed iree traders passing by with tilted nose, the protectionist who deea net claim his motives te be dis interested any mere than he claims purity for the soiled garments of his labor. Tint Western Union tulegruph com pany has just borrowed a million dellaru from the Equitable Life Insurauce com cem pany, by negotiating a million dollars of bends of an lesue that was authorized away back In 187-1, and of which, accord, lug te the last report, Icbs than four millions had been issued. It eeeuiH that tlie whole of the remainder, or 2 000,000 lias been issued within this year slnce tlie million just borrowed is mild by the KquiUible company te be the last of the leans. The Western Union authorities decline te fay what they needed the money for, and nre net pleased at the publication of the fuct that theyhave had te borrow it. They ought net te need te borrow if they are making the great profit they claim. Fjtrjn. DeuanAss says "Jehn A. Legan is the llrnt cholce ofthecoloied people." Tills is passing strange.
