It Will Be Bad Politics.
Whether or not the present Congress
intends attempting the work that busy
newspaper correspondents are mapping
out for it, we do not know. Our hope
is that it has betterjudgment aud more
political sagacity, in one line at least,
and that is in what is said to be, its
proposed action on the tariff question.
Ifthe newspapers are correct, there
is to be no attempt at general legisla
tion oa this question during the present
session of Congress. But separate
bills are to be introduced covering
specific articles such as ores, wool,coal,
lumber, sult, binder twiae, cotton ties,
etc., —mostly the articles that are
known as raw material and against a
duty on which the manufacturers of the
country, have generally protested.
It is the high duty imposed in the
MeKinLey bill, upon some of thege ar-
ticles that has aroused the manutac-
turers and arrayed them against the tar- |
iff as it now stands. They allege that in |
consequence of these duties on the raw
material, they are unable to compete, |
in the original cost of the article man- |
ufactured, with foreign manufacturers, |
and for this reason many of them bave |
been compelled to close their mills aud |
from the present congress.
the manufacturers, that have been the
main-stay of the Republican party.
to debauch voters and carry elections
with the promise that their particular
it had to be done at the expense of the
to-day, would be the same unrelenting,
bitter Republican partisans they were
when submitting to Mr. Quay’s “fat.
frying’” process of three years ago, but
tration brought forth, and the effects
al investments. |
It is the opposition of the great man-
ufacturtng interests of the country to |
the tariff policy of the Republican par- |
ty, so far as it effects them injuriously,
that has weakened and demoralized |
that organization and theatens event-
ually its entire overthrow, With the
objections these interests have to that
legislation removed, would disappear
their objections to the Republican pol-
ley. They do not object to the protec-
tive principles so far as it effects others
or the general welfare ot the public; it
is only their own individual benefits
they are looking to, and as soon as they
can secure free raw material, they will
again join hands with the Republican
party to fasten upon other interests of
the country, all the iniquities, oppres-
sions and taxation that a selfish pro
tective policy insures,
Although the Democratic party
would be entitled to the credit that a
change of the McKiNtey bill would
would bring, yet under the condition
of affairs, Republicans who would be
benefited by having wool, ore, lumber,
salt, and other raw materials added to
the free list, would claim that inas-
much as their party controled the
Senate and had the President, that it
had an equal claim on the thanks of
the public for these changes, and so far
as politics is concerned the whole
matter would be a set off.
A compromise, such as would have
to be made to secure any tariff legisla
tion at the the present time, and such
as we believe the Republicans
would now be glad to make, would
simply eliminate from the McKINLEY
bill its most objectionable features, re-
lieve the Republican party from the
adinm this measure is now casting up-
on it and weaken the position of the
Democrats in the Presidential contest
just to that extent.
The more unpopular the McKINLEY
bill is in 1892, the surer the success of
Democratic ideas. Any paring down
of its odious features, only lessen the
objection the public must have to the
ideas embodied in it, and lessens the
chances of success for the party that
enters the campaign in opposition to
factories, and are now waiting for such |
relief from the injurious effects of Re- :
publican legislation, as can be secured, |
It is these now complaining interests
They have furnished it with the money
over the heads of the honest masses of |
the country, in the expectation and
euterprises would be protected and their |
|
individual interests cared for, though |
great body of the people and the wel-
fare of the country at large. They
lave stood by it through thick and
thin, through good and evil report and
for the legislation their own adminis-
of the McKiNvLEy bill on their person-
Under the circumstances, to at'empt
to change it, is the most suicidal kind
of political tactics.
————
Deceptions that Don’t Deceive.
This is a most admirable time for
Republican papers and a Republican
President to attempt to make the peo-
ple believe the party they represent are
in favor of honest and fair apportion-
ment measures. In the States it
control, and which, like Pennsylvania,
are now gerrymandered in the most in-
famous and unfair way, the legislaiures
have adjourned, some not to meet for
one, others not for two years; so that |
by the time of the next assembling of
Republican law-makers, this professed
desire for honest apportionments, will
have had ample time to be forgotten,
and this old party of gerrymanderers
and gerrymanders will go ahead and
do just as it has been doing ever since
it had the power to do anything—di-
vide up States just as best suits the in-
terests and promises the greatest success
for the Republican party.
If these papers and politicians, who are
now clamoring so loudly for fair appor-
tionments,are honest in their pretenses
why was not some demand of this kind
made while Republican legislatures
were in session and when this professed
desire for reform could have been
carried out ?
The trath is this whole pretense of
favoring honest apportionments 1s the
veriest bush. Of the States that can
be re-districted the present winter, but
oue, Olio, is Republican ; the rest are
Democratic, and they fear the same ad
vanitze may he taken in these, that
they have always siezed hold of in the
ones iliev controled.
Here in Pennsylvania it is scarcely
ten mouths sivee a legislature, Repub-
Lican in both branches, had ander con-
sideration the matter of apportioning
the Stare. In their congressional divi-
sion they proposed to give the Demo-
crats =even uisiricte and take for them:
seives twenty-three .—they to have one
representative for every 24,000 voters,
the Democcats one for every 66,000.
Did any one hear any Republican
speaker, or see any Republican paper
that denounced this most outrageous
gerrymander? Did a Republican
president take the trouble to call public
attention to this effort to continue a
wrong long perpetrated upon the Dem-
ocratic people ot Pennsylvania? For the
proposed new apportionment was but
a re-enactment of that which we have
had for years and which is as vicious
and wrong as it can be made, or it
would have been changed for the worse
long ago.
Under the circumstances, it is no
wonder that the present (demand of a
Republican President and the hollow,
but persistent clamor of the Republican
press for fair apportionments, now
that there are Democratic States
throughout the South to be re-districted
and New York promises to change its
law-making power, meets with a smile
of derision on every hand. Its empti-
ness is known. Its purposes are ap-
parent. Its sham and pretense has
been verified by the acts of its own par-
ty in every State in which it has the
control.
Let representatives of that party
show by their works that they are
honest in their present professions,
before they attempt to instruct others
as to the right thing to do.
Anl here in Pennsylvania is a gool
field in which te prove the sincerity of
their words. Waen can we expect
them to begin ?
A Porrricar Straw. —The city elec-
tion in Meriden, Connecticut, was held
on Tuesday last and resulted in the
election of a Democratic mayor and
eleven of the fifteen aldermen. That
city has always been a strong hold of
Republicanism and this straw, small
though it is, taken in connection with
the increasing Democratic vote of Bos-
tn and other New England cities,
shows very conclusively, that the polit-
ical wind in that section is blowing
decidedly in the Democratic direc:
ion. [tis livle things of this kind
that makes the fellows who have never
yet wakened up to the fact that the
Republican party has served its ends,
look so sick and hopeless, and that
makes thoughtful, unbiased people all
over the country certain of a Domo-
its principles.
cratic victory in 1892.
Wait and See.
We have sympathy for the man
+ whose honest, courageous efforts in
the cause of right, goes unappreciated
by the public. We can readily under-
stand how deep, the failure of his par-
ty to properly recoznize the earnest et-
(forts put forth in its behalf, could
wound the feelings of one who had de-
voted a life time of labor and study, to
its interests ; but if half that is told of
the actions of Mr. MILs, since his de-
feat for Speaker, is true, the party may
be thankful indeed, for results that
prevented his filling the Speaker's chair.
For his own sake as well as for the
| sake of the political policy he has so
ably and-fearlessly advocated, we hope
that the reports of his sulkiug over his
defeat, are untrue. A man big enough
| for Speaker of the House ; big enough
| to be recognized as the leader of the
great Democratic party, and bigenough
to be followed in his efforts to release
the masses from the thraldom of Re-
| publican rule, is far too big to hang his
lip and sulk because he is not given
every position he might covet, or load-
ed down with all the honors a party
has at its disposal.
It Mr. MiLLs wanted to prove that
the judgment of the Democratic repre-
sentatives in its selection of Mr. Crisp
as presiding officer of the House, was
correct, he could not do so in a more
effective way, than to act just 2s the
Republican press of the conatry is re-
presenting him as doing.
A man who is small enough to sulk
oecause all he wants is not harded him,
is too small to occupy the position of
leader of any party. There is a litle
ness about such business that destroys
all respect for,aud all confidence in, his
ability to lead or his fitness to be fol-
lowed.
We cannot bring ourselves to believe

Philadelphia Record.
A fitting commentary upon the fabu-
lous assertions with which the tinplate
duties in the McKinley tariff have been
propped up, is echoed from London, in
the report of a suit for libel which has
just ended there. In 1887 a company
was organized in London, with a capi-
tal of $10,000,000, calling itself “The
Harney Peak Tin Mining Company.”
The object of this company was to ex-
ploit the mines of tin which were said to
exist in South Dakota in such rich ceo-
posits as to supply the world with the
metal,

Young Merchant Marines.
On Last Friday afternoon, fifty-one
trim little sailors from the- schoolship
Saratoga, received their diplomas from
the hands of President LawRENeE, on
the stage of the Chestnut street Opera
House, Philadelphia, which will enti-
tle them to take precedence over other
applicants for positions in the merchant
marine. A few years ago, men who
were interested in nautical aflairs,
realized that well trained American
seamen were almost a thing of the past,
simply: because the iron and steel
steamships that have superseded the
old fashioned clippers have very little
need of boys and few opportunities
were offered for either a theoretical, or
practical knowledge of navigation, and
that if we would have a navy, well
drilled men were as essential as well
fitsed ships. After years of thought
and labor Congressand the Legislature
were prevailed upon to make the Penn-
sylvania Schoolship a certainty and on
December 11th 1889 the first crew, of
eighty-four lads, was received aboard
the Saratoga. From that time until
to-day the experimert has been watch-
ed with interest by many people out-
| side of marine circles. Daring the two
| years three voyages were made cover-
ing 2200 miles and the examination
| proved that the academical as well as
! the nautical training had been thor-
{ ough. People in thisinland town were
not so much interested in the general
result of the school as they were in
‘the well being of one of its young pu-
i pils, HarrY A. JacksoN, Mr, GEORGE
. JACKSON's son, who is now a full
fledged “little tar,” having passed an
i excellent examination for a bey of his
States consul at Birmingham, England,
was within easy reach, and might have
proved a useful witness if his own stories
about tin had been true. Mr. Jarrett’s.
tin mining, however, consisted mainly
in exploiting the Washington lobby and
in working up doubtful congress dis
tricts for his employers.
To protect this fairy tin in Dakota the
duty of $80 a ton was imposed by the
McKinley tariff on toreign tin. “We
must also amply protect the tin miners,”
said the tariff statesmen, “while we are
more than doubling the duty on tin
plate to protect the manufacturers,” The
manufacturers whom they meant are
the manufacturers of galvanized sheet |
iron, who constituted: the ‘American
Tin Plate Association.” These manu-
facturers were abundantly protected by |
high duties on sheet iron; but they in-
sisted that tin plate should be taxed out
of competition with their product. If
they make no tin plate themselves they
will compel American consumers to use
less of it for roofing and to pay them
more for their galvanized sheet iron. In
the whole history of tariff legislation
there is nothing more iniquitous than
this tin plate schedule in the McKinley
act, except the frauds and falsehoods
with which it is bolstered up.
