The Threatened Tariff War.
"We have received from Mr. Newton
THough, of this city, an hiRenJous letter
relating to a. sublet which Is yet of
prime (Interest ito 'the American people,
notwithstanding that election Is over
Bind ithat campaign exigencies aire
momentarily stilled. Mr. lilough's let
ter follows:
Tho protective policy of the United
States which places u prohibitive tariff on
the productions of other countries is ba
Kimilnn to react. And no sooner are its
first effects felt In our midst than it be
comes very evident that Americans are no
more in favor of other countries' adop:
iiig a protective tariff than they are in
favor of now doing so. Europe is crowded
with tollers working hard for a bare sup
port and to them this country uppeurs to
be a tempting market for their wares.
Hut in order to protect our own manufac
turer! un import tax has been Imposed
upon foreign products that has well nigh
excluded them. Of course this works a
hardship to those countries that look wist
fully upon our markets where good prices
prevail. It Is not at all to be wondered at
that those countries should adopt meas
ures which are calctUated to give re
dress for the loss they thus suffer. One
man has coal for salu und another has
grain, and It becomes necessary for them
to exchunge commodities. If, now, tho
man with tho coul charges his neighbor a
tax Of 5u cents per bushel for all the grain
he brings onto his premelsea and the Im
porter has no power to raise the price, It
is a hardship to him who sells the grain
and a profit to him who buys it. liut It
would be a very natural thing for him to
turn about and put a tux on coal that was
brought to his market. Hut If A receives
u tax on grain brought to him and pays U
nn equal tax on the coal he takes. to mar
ket, where are his profits? So with the tar
iff laws, they are very good (for Hellish gov
ernment) so long as we can collect a tax
on everything that Is sent to us, and send
our products abroad free. But when
other countries awaken to the sense of the
Injustice, and ask us to. pay them back
dome of that money there Is talk of war.
Austria. Germany and Spain are trying to
protect themselves In this matter, and no
disinterested party ran for a moment
censure them for doing so. If we as a
nation have the Idea that the commerce of
the world Is to be run for our especial
benefit; we sha.ll certainly very soon
nwaken to our mistake. The injunction
to love our neighbors as ourselves Is as
applicable to national as to Individual re
lations. And the nation that disregards
that principle toward other nations Is no
more right than Is the Individual who Ig
nores that fundamental principle of mu
tual Interest and welfare. Therefore
would It not be a wlso policy to so apply
the principle of the Golden Rule that
rhould we be asked to tako our own pre
periptlon It would not bo so nauseating?
Our correspondent Intimates that the
American people no longer favor a pro
tective tariff. What, then, Is the moan
ing of last fall's elections? We con
cede that they do not want a prohibi
tive tariff; but we contend It to be a
fact repeatedly demonstrated beyond
reach of aavll oit misinterpretation that
tho American people (hold as a funda
mental political principle that a tariff
on Imports shall be levied sufficient to
protect the productions of home ilabor
from competition in our home markets
with the productions of less-paid for
eign labor. So much for first princi
ples. Now, as to the dissatisfaction of
Austria, Germany and Spain with the
new Wilson tariff. What of that? We
export altogether less than 15 per cent,
of our home production. If our Dem
ocratic friends had continued the reci
procity treaties of the McKlnley .law,
Spain would not have complained,
neither -would Austria, and we doubt
even If Germany would. The Wilson
till suspended those hardly negotiated
compacts without a minute's notice. It
save no reason for such suspension and
proffered no apology nor excuse. Tho
rupture was purely and peevishly parti
van, violative of our national good faith
end casting discredit upon the com
mercial standing of an American treaty
contract Spain and Austria are mad,
not because America is a protective
country for except at brief intervals
she has always been that but because
an American contract, entered Into only
ufter honest and earnest solicitation on
our part, was within four years sudden
. ly and boorishly repudiated by a new
administration and n new congress,
frhis, our correspondent will find, is
(the' real secret of the threatened Euro
pean retaliation.
But, returning to our friend's broad
contention that European nations will
not buy of us unless we adopt the Euro
pean kind of low tariffs, we ask him to
specify what things Europenns wJIl pet
tishly refuse to buy. Not the neces
saries of life, not If we can sell them a
t better article at a lower price than they
can buy In their home markets. The
luxuries, does he say? Let it he so.
Let Spain and Germany and Austria
cut off their Imports of American lux
uries and see how much they will, affect
us. . It will be scarcely a fraction of 1
per cent, of our export trade. And if,
in order to . retain this Infinitesimal
trade we are compelled to lose a good
part of our 85-per-cont.-home-trado
through low-tariff foreign competition,
wlhereln do we gain? Would we not be
trading a big bird in the 'hand for a
little, chirping wren in the bush?
The Golden Rule Idea In international
commerce Is all right in theory; but In
hard, cold pnactice, the rule which real
ly governs men and nations is the rule
of stern necessity. Europe cannot get
along without American food supplies;
ud when the free trade countries of
Europe talk of waging a retaliatory
tariff warfare upon tha United States
they ara either preparing to cut off
their own nose to spite fieir ugly face
or elso are merely Indulging in u .huge
and fastidious bluff.
The Philadelphia Press is inclined to
regard s somewhat puerile the geo
graiphlciail contentions in the Fifteenth
congress district over the jionnliKi.tiim of
a successor to the late Myron IS.
Wnlgibt. lit seems to believe .that fit
ness, naither than location, should gov
ern the selection of representatives in
congress. This Idea is good so far as
it goes; but what is the matter with
cu.mblnd.ng both fitness and flocaitlon?
Theire :1s .no scarcity of su.lita.ble legisla
tive material in either the Fifteenth
district or any other district in the
nurth.
The Hawaiian Revolt;
Why should the honor of the Ameri
can Hag In & foreign country be a sub
ject of party division among Ameri
cans? Why should a Democratic con
gress or a. Democratic president, suc
ceeding a congress or a president of
different partisan complexion, feel Im
pelled to at once Inaugurate a foreign
policy different from that maintained
by the administration just preceding,
irrespective of the abstract merits of
the earlier policy, nnd solely because
the homle tleotorafte hud ordered a
change In their public servants? If we
thought that Republicanism meant
patriotism only when Republicans were
In power, we should say unhesitatingly:
"Away with such Republicanism. It is
hulf treason." Why shuuld not honest
and sincere Democrats, Democrats from
principle, say the mime with reference
to the false Democracy, the low and
pettish Democatcy, to which the Amer
ican nation has been treated during the
period of Grover Celeveiund's second
management of the department of
state at Washington?
There is no such fluctuation, contra
diction and factional division in th?
foreign policy of Great Drltaln.
Whether the prime minister be Liberal
or Conservative, the Hue of party di
vision, of party Mckerlng, of party
cross purposes, ends the moment that
it reaches the shore line of England's
domestic territory. Further than this,
a change in the English ministry does
not, as -with us, signify that all the
diplomatic appointes of the preceding
ministry must park their belongings
and come- home, to make way for a
new staff of raw recruits; nor does it
mean that If under one ministry the
rights of P.ritlBh subjects In foreign
lands were strenuously and aggressive
ly protected and the commercial inter
ests of Hrltish tradesmen assiduously
promoted, a change in ministries must,
necessarily, be denoted by a direct
reversal of these two strong features
of the preceding administration. The
result of this continuity of a purpose
to protect English rights at any hazard
and-under any circumstances is evi
denced by the fact that the English
flag Is respected nnd feared In every
port In Christendom respected for the
llrmness of purpose behind It and
feared for the reason that any trifling
with It has become recognized by those
guilty of such trifling as equivalent to
a direct invitation for a trouncing.
Wo cite the ollcy if England for the
sufllcient reason that It is strong pre
cisely In those features wherein our
own policy is humlliatlngly and Inde
fensibly weak. No more conspicuous
example of this weakness has b:-en sup
plied than In the abrupt change of
policy with reference to Hawaii Insti
tuted by the present Cleveland adminis
tration. With the earlier details of
America's humiliation at tho hands of
Cleveland, Gresham nnd lilount tho
public is already familiar. The people
spoke their opinion of them at the bal
lot box lust November. And now the
nation is presented with u new chapter
In the history of this Infamy a chapter
of executive stubbornness yielding ab
jectly after blood had been spilled and
revolution narrowly averted; a chapter
of timidity and time-serving by the
executive's Immediate ushordimites al
most without past parallel In the nn
nnls of the department of state; a chap
ter, In short, which In every sorrowful
detail records new shame and new
humiliation. Nut the least humiliating
of these new details, because of Its In
excusable tardiness, Is the president's
attempt, after tho mischief which his
stubborn policy had direotly Invited
was consummated In bloodshed and
riot a consummation eloquently fore
told, six months ago, In the patriotic
report of Admiral 'Walker, which was,
at the time, pettishly suppressed be
cause it clashed with the logic of
Grover Cleveland's original blunder
to nssuine an attitude of eleventh-hour
penitence and to make a weak show of
Impossible atonement by ordering a
warship to Hawaiian waters n full
fortnight after the danger la over.
What we need in this country Is a
sentiment whloh will not permit any
partisan Jugglery with the honor
of our glory and of American rights
abroad; and which will overwhelmingly
condemn that president or. that sec
retary of state who shall so far mis
take 'his position as to utilize Its Im
mense prestige and power in sorry at
tempts to stifle the honest aspirations
of sister republics or put back on rotten
thrones repudiated rulers who have dis
graced and debauched the dignity of
kingcraft.
In a Constantinople dispatch to tho
New York Herald yesterday another
Turkish version of the Armenian trouble
Is given. To the extent of a column
.and a half a crown Is woven for the
great and good BUltan that would be
too lurge even for Anthony Comstock.
If all of. these, certificates of character
regarding the Sublime Porte be true It
is evident that the much married ruler
of the land of 'peace, virtue and fig
paste has material enough at hand for
libel suits against the newspapers of
tho world at large to keep him busy
through several lives of the length of
Methuselah's. Still, w(e are noK, yet
ready to retract and proffer damages.
The edict of the Catholic church for
bidding its members to belong to tho
Odd Fellows, the Sons of Temperance
and the Knights of Pythias will nat
urally be obeyed by honest members of
that church until such time as further
study of tho objects of these orders, by
the church authorities, shall cause the
prohibition to be lifted. The church
has an unassailable light to say upon
what terms It will udmlnlster its sacra
ments. If It waived its right to obedi
ence from its membership Its power
would soon disappear. At tho same
time, we think many good Catholics
will regret that there should be, In tho
minds of their ecclesiastical superiors,
a real or seeming necessity for sueh an
Interdiction; and we are free to pre
dict that time will yet modify the
church's uttltude toward these socle
ties. In Idaho n'nd Michigan legislative
propositions to submit the question of
woman suffrage to a popular vote are
received with favor. The refusal of
New York's constitutional convention
to permit the people to vote on this
subject Is fortunately not accepted as
the highest expression of wisdom In the
premises.
The announcement that no less than
six New York manugers have refused
to allow Mrs. Lnngtry to appear In
their houses seems to be pretty good
evidence that the Jersey Lily has re
formed. The hustling of nn American man-of-war
to Honolulu Is a refreshing indi
cation that the administration of hes
itancy Is at last beginning to realize
what battleships are made for.
The fact that Governor Altgeld, of
Illinois, Is opposed to capital punish
ment Is not material, except in so far as
it shows that Altgeld Is not yet wholly
hopeless.
lkgislativk TOPICS.
Senator Charles Sumner on Capital Pun
ishment. The following letter by Charles Sum
n.ir, written umh r date of Feb. 12, 1S55,
is of Interest at .this time. He wrote:
"In response to your Inquiry, I beg
leave to say that I am happy in an op
portunity to buiMiiy tp.-jtiinony against
caplliail punishment. My Instincts were
ever against it. and from the lime
when, while yet a student of law, I read
the clawsleal repent to the legislature of
Iiusla.na by thut Illustrious Jurist, Ed
ward Livingston, 1 .have betn constant
ly glad to find my Instincts confirmed
by reuson. Nothing of ungument or ex
penlfinea since has In any respect
shaken the original and perpetual re
pugnance with which I have regarded
it. Punishment is justly inflicted by
human power, with u twofold purpose:
Hi st, for the protection of society, nnd
secondly, for the reformation of the
offend; .r. Now, It seems to me clear
that, in our age and country, the taking
of human life Is not necessary to the
protection of society, while it reduces"
the period of reformation to a narrow,
tUniting span. If mot .necessary, it can
nn.t e.jiue within the province of stlf
defense, nnd is unjustifiable. It is sad
to believe 'that much of tho prejudice
in favor of the gallows may be traced
to three .discreditable sources: first,
the fcpliit of vengeance, wheh surely
does not properly belong to man; sec
ondly, unworthy timidity, ns If a
powerful community would be In peril,
if life were not sometimes taken by the
government; and. thirdly, blind obedi
ence to the traditions of another age.
liut lack, thumbscrew, wheel, iron
crown, bed of steel, and every instru
ment of barbarous toiture, .now re
Jcctwl wttli horror, were once upheld
by the same spirit of vengeance, the
rime timidity, and the fame traditions
of another age. 1 trust that the time
Is at ha.nd when Massachusetts, turn
ing from the vindictive gallows, will
provide a comprehensive system of
puniistiment, which by Just penalities
mini privations shall deter from guilt,
and by Jus.t benevolence and care pro
mote the reformation of Its unhappy
subjects. Thmi, and not till then, will
our beloved commonwealth imitate the
Divine Justice, which 'delsreth not the
death of u. sinner, but rather that he
may turn from his wickedness and
live.' "
For the Protection of Our llshes.
The twelfth annual report of the ex
ecutive committee of the Pennsylvania
Fish Protective association among
oilier things says: "The pollution of
streams and its continued destructive
effeots upon llsh life have been the
source iif much frequent and thought
ful consideration. While the wisdom
of rent lie live laws nnd their proper en
forcement have made possible the se
curity of the fishery interests of the
commonwealth. Jit should bs more wide
ly known that one of the most dlphe.art
I'nkng as well as formidable abuses that
the State Fish oonunlssloiK'is are called
upon to combat Is the practice of ren
dering some of our best rivers and
Ftrviuivs practically worthless for prop
agating purposes by deposits of paw
dust, tannery refuse, culm and other
noxious substances Injurious not only
to fish, tut affecting humanity whc'iv
puch waters are used. The Fish com
mtartonera 'have rtqwatedly appealed to
th j If jvlslature, and the InllUfiice of the
association has been exerted In this
respect, but without success. Contin
ued protetits from all sections of the
state give full credence to the fact that
until such legislation Is secured in:iny
of our stcite waters will be unproductive
of good results, however heavily they
may be stocked. The necessity for the
correction of this great evil is clearly
nhow.n by rive recent conventions called
to consider the subject, and concurred
In by th'? State Hoard of Health, Fish
eominlroVon, Forestry commission, and
otlur fit.iito boards, whose . combined
efforts ill behalf of the dlcon blnu-i
once of pteam pollution. It Is lioped,
will eventually result In this much
needed reform."
llrmul Punishment I nnccossury to Pre
vent Crime.
Gewnal Curtis, in congress: "Tho
navy .has had no execution since 1H19.
During time years our flag ihn been
carried to every clime, our ships have
swung at nnch.ir in every port, our
oflleers and stamen have been brought
In contact with the people of the most
cnltlvati d ami enlightened nations, and
with the wildest savagos, without im
bibing any of tiwr .brutal spirit which
finds expression .'.in torture and the in
fliction of ui:atli. Th tvivy has In
four years of war, with conspicuous de
votion nnd elilcli'iicy, not only main
tained all its past glory, but added new
lutiter and honor by acts of personal
devotion nnd bravery, performed by
men in nil the grades from ordinary
seamnn to admiral commanding fleets,
and sit n mis B.-eond to the navy of no
country In those qualities and attain
mentis .which give elllcle ney, maintain
honor, awl win victories. The nRvy
has for forty-five years been dlseilplln!.d
and governed on n higher plane than
the ar ticks proscribed by congress pro
vide. Obsolete, uselefs, and barbarous
kuws (banish them from the code of
those who, despite their lurking pres
ence, have wholly neglected to enforce
them. The abolition of flogging os an
authorized punishment for offenses in
the army in 1SII9 and la. the navy In 1850,
however much doubted at the time by
conservatives, contributed much to In
crease the morale of both tile army and
navy."
No Good Reason for it.
Philadelphia Times: "There Is no
good reason why the state of Pennsyl
vania should go Into the publishing
business. There are many reasons why
it should not, and especially why it
should not supply expensive books,
having no relation to public business,
for free distribution by members of the
legislature."
Parker on Cupitul Punishment.
Said Theodore Parker: "The state
tenches men to kill. If you destroy the
guiilowa you cairry one of the strong
outposts of the ddvll."
Journalism a In Chicago.
From tho Herald's Report.
Chicago has no greater pugcant than the
annuul charity bull. It Is tho best spec
tacle In the calendar, best because It is
tho richest und most beautiful, because
nothing has a better motive und must
brilliant because It is conceived In tho
spirit of royal elegance and executed with
the. lavlshnesH of hands thut know the
touch of millions. Precise und timed to
tho second n gainst the Impropriety of an
entrance too early or an Interruption too
late, the dashing coteries and parties for
tho boxes Hied into place before the hom
uge of buzzing admiration from the thous
ands. They brought treasures of tho
loom, Jewels as rare und abundant as the
settings of the ark of the covenant,
plumes, spendthrift roses reckless of their
fragrance, bocquets of valley lilies, clus
ters of orchids, head dresses of rubles,
sapphires und iiearls, ruretles from the
cedar chi'Sts of ancestors, clusters, coro
nets nnd diadems, handed from tho fore
fathers or new-bought in the capitals
across the seas. All that art could fash
ion or money buy or nature contribute
mussed Into one vast slash of color to dim
a dozen rainbows or blot the record of
tho glorious Solomon. It was over In ten
minutes, the one event for which society
has planned tho winter. Music, bpauty,
grace, all combined in a masterful effort,
reaching its climax Just as the miigln
word, "charity," was Hashed in a hundred
arcs over the scene, (iiu.luully the swing
ing measures of tho entree music failed
and the string instruments sent the be
wildering and dlgnllled companies Into
the whirl of the wultz.
