TARIFF AND BUSINESS.
It goes without laying that the tfrest
1'ody of Amoriean bMlMM mm nro
heartily Hrtd of this Interminable po
litical tinkrriui; with tho tariff. In
ateiul ot balng a naam to a national
una patriotic end, to the end of general
prosrwrity. protection and tranquility
ia tiie ootnmoo Interehantfai of bull
ous Md tinauce, the tarill'. under t!ie
manipulation of clover politicians bent
primarily upou lelNaggrandlseinent,
has become a miro football between
eonteuding partisan, subject to change
without notice, accordingly as one
party rplaw s the other in power. To
eipect commercial stability under inch
au unsettled svstem is to ezpaet the
impcssible As well lipiot water to
flow up hill.
Of current propositions to place a
catoknpon thosi who, Indifferent to
the geueral results, ui:ik "tariff" or
"no tariff " a professional Hvleibood. the
most notable is the bill in which Sena
tor Cullom provides for a peruiaueut
tariff commi-sion of nine members, to
be appointed bv the president subjvct
to the approval of the seuate. and to
ervo for three yours, not more than
four members to belong to one politi
cal party. The bill, in detail, arranges
for auniial report! ou the tusis of the
unit of quantity an I the unit of time of
wages paid in the United States and in
foreign countries in tho manufacture
of articles which may WDM into com
petition with artlelea mile in this
country. The commission is to prepare
schedule! of cuitoius duties. A pre
viously ascertained formula is to be
mployed for each schedule to insure
t rate of tariff equal to the difference
u foreign and American wages. O i
I hose imports in which labor is not an
important element or upon articles of
Inxiry or upon such as do not come
into competition with native products,
cn- commission shall prep ire schedules
if duties, to be submitted to congress,
with reasons for the conclusions
reached. The commission is to rocom
nend annually to congress ou the
irsr, Monday in December such changes
n schedules as it deems necessary for
nirposii of revintu and to prevent
Impression in wages of American worit
iien an 1 Injury to Amerioin indtn
ries. Eich commiaaioner Is to receive
i salary of $5,000. A presidsut is to be
lected from tue number, a secretary
at 3, 000 a year and clerks aud em
ployes to be hereafter authorized by
law.
The enactment of this measure would
transfer the detail of tariff schedule
lramin? from crude cmmittes where
it is too often gone at with the blun
dering indifference of purely partisan
politics animated by a demagogical
concern for votes, to xprt working
upon a purely business basis and per
sonally uninterested in the wordy wars
cf the torchlight colonels of economics.
But with the turning over of its rec
ommendations to the house, the pro
posed tariff commission would coma to
the limit of its responsibility and we
shrnld, it is to be feared, still have the
old spectacul ir battles of badly digest
ed statistics and gallerv oatehing rhet
oric as annual incidents to a perpetual
fight over tariffs. To msks. Mr. Cul
lom's scheme practical there ia needel
first a robust popular sentiment against
political jngglery with a thing so vital
to our national prosperity, and next an
amendment to the constitution prohib
iting general ehanges in the tariff of-
tener than once in at least ten years.
The txnvmCI of one per like liose
bery in nvery ten. like the average
British aristocrat, would savo the lords
from the wrath to come.
This is the import of the libel law
(hat Wisconsin editors ask their stato
legislature to pnt on the statute books:
The principle of exemplary or punitive
Ismsges to be abolished except, where
malice ii shown; the existence of
malice to be made a matter of proof
and not accepted as a matter of pros'-mptlon;
a parson aggrinved to be re
quired to call for a correction before
bringing suit, the publication of a re
traction to be taken as evidence of no
malice and to serve as a bar to an ac
tion for exemplary damages, when
prompt and satisfactory retraction is
mude and absence of m-ilice shown, re
coverable damages to be limited to
actnal damage com mensuratj with the
extent of injury proved If there is
any unfairness in this kind of a law it
would take a microscope to discover it.
To Pennsylvania' shams be it siid
that wo have no such law here.
Tun wauty of inul, like morcy, is

THOSE FIRE LOSSES
Karly this month the Middle Depart
merit of Fire Underwriters, meeting at
Bethlehem, decided upon an Increase
In insurance rates. Tne new rates
Hinging from 5 to IS psr cent, higher
than the old ones, and the district af
fected by the change comprises part of
New Jersey, Maryland, the District of
Columbia, and the whole of Pennsylva
nia ontside of Philadelphia and Pitts
burg. During 1899 the companies com
prising what is known as the I intern
association lost money to such an ex
tent that they foarod bankruptcy unless
something should be done to re
coup their lossss. It was first
decided to make an even more
radical advance, ranging from 28
to 85 per cent., but discussion elicited
that this would frighten patrons and
re-act upon the Insurance companies.
The new schedule is now In force
throughout the territory affected,
nnd will not, it is said, be deviated
from.
The fact that with every month add
ing its lavish quota of unimproved
methods, material! and appliances to
the work of scientific building there
should continue a steady increase in
tho percentage of liability to fires is a
humiliating one for which explanation
is sought in vain. Not even in tho era
of all wood-houses, lightod by whale
oil or tallow dips, was there such a
ratio of (Willi destrnctiveness as them
is in this day of structural steel, asbestos
walls, tilted Boon, iron or marble pil
lars and slate ihinglM laid upon metal
rafters. To be sure, a large share of
our lires nowadays have their origin in
defective electrical wiring and another
considerable share must be attribute 1
to I ho juxtaposition, in our newer
cities, of houses of modern construe
lion with tumble down frame shanties
bequeathed by a more primitive period.
Hut even this is not infilclint, in face
of the steadily increasing effectiveness
of our municipal fire departments and
the continually improving quality of
building materials aud of our building
regulations, to account for the great
and growing annual totals of our losses
by lire, totals far outstripping either
onr growth in population or the in
creased valuation of the houses that we
build, There may be a solution in the
fact that building! nowaday! are
erected more closely together, showing
it greater economy in ground, but if
so, it is an unsatisfactory one The
problem is one that seems to baflU M
planation aloug lines creditable to
popular intelligence. But there is one
thing of which we may feel sine, which
is that if Americans will persist in
growing more careless as they grow
older and wealthier, they should not
be unwilling to stand the pecuniary

DR. TALMAGE.
It is a curious fact th it uimy of the
most conservative of ( thaiu news
papers are beginning to express doubt!
of Dr. Talmage's sincerity. The Even
ing Post, in its merciless politeness, has
called him prettv uearly every name
not coming under indictment as libs!
and now the Tribune, which is, upon
religions matters, perhaps the most
cautious aud obatitable of all the great
American dailies, intimates that the
pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle
could, with spirituil protir, cultivate a
higher sincerity and a more uniform
regard for the truth.
The in!i lent of Dr. Talmage' an
nounced resignation and again of his
reconsideration of that resignation,
based as he has himself based it, noon
considerations of money, will, it seemi
charitable to say, grate somewhat
harshlv upon the legibilities of those
old-faabiond Christians who retain so
much of the belief in a gospel without
money aud without price as disap
proves of too evident an introduction
of mammon into the lervics of Ood.
Whether or not Dr. Talmige's course
has been misconstrued by these eritics
is immaterial, compared with the fact
that his own words iiwite such miscon
strnction an 1 render diflimlt a rejsc-
jeetion of the thought that cash, or its
equivalent, entered into his thought in
determining his future connection
with the church in which hi, fame has
been made.
Nevertheless, the most prjuliced
disbeliever In Dr Talmage's sincerity
will be constrained to admit that this
pastor's popularity has been a national
resource, sending into millions of
homes beautiful thoughts and inspiring
truths that, whether uttered in all sin
cerity or coined as a player coins the
elrajnence of a Shakespeare, have
stimulated a higher morality and ox
cited a keener appreciation of the joys
of true religion. There were mn who,
after the Tilton scandal, could never
abide the mention of Henry Ward
Beecher's name; yet no fair-minded
man,' whether believing or disbeliev
ing in Bepcher's Innocence, can deny
the immortal character of his public
words and work, nor shut eyes to the
great impress for good which Itaechir
the preacher and teacher, left upon tho
plastic mind of this generation.
Th one fact which stands promin
pntly ont In the careers of great men Is.
that it Is triMr vlrlns and their trnths
which are immortal , and not their
fault'.
MURPHY KIOHl get his man counted
In as mayor r Troy, but the victory, all
things considered, is not one that he
will be proud of.
a.
The GOTHAM business man who told
' Holland," one year after his first ex
nltation over Cleveland's election, that
he would readily give $10,000 ont of his
since shriveled forlnne to nndo his
share of the responsibility for that
election, did not overstate the casp.
Thero nro thonsands like him, at least
in the percentage, If not in the ensh
valno of their regrets.
When tiie Republican party becomes
courageous enough to stand up to its
full duty toward victims of the fran
chise bulldozer, it will enter npon a
new era of nsefnlrisHi and power.
ONE MAN'S POWER.
One notable example of the Influence
of a single tdVOOftt, w irking disinter
estedly for the best interests of his
i '(immunity, is supplied in New York
by Abram H. Hewitt's successful light,
before the ohatuber of commerce,
against the tiropased indorsement of a
plan to lend the city's . ... In and put
of the city's money to a private cor
poration that Intended to put into op
eration a gigantic scheme of under
ground transit. The point raited by
Mr. Hewitt was precisely that which
reappears at intervals in all American
cities, and sometimes in congress; that
is to say, tho ned of granting publio
franchises in such a maimer that the
publio will get the hnutfit,
He opposed the fT-rt to m all i a cor
poration'! catspaw ont of the city

rights were a municipal resource, which
ought either to be operated by the city,
for the geueral profit, or else leased to
private control nt a specified rental un
