A DISEASE ALWAYS ATTENDED WITH BAD CONSEQUENCES. it l*ro«lu«'eil Wltleni»read Woe In the Kplilemlc of Seven Yearn Ago, anil UN K fleet at Thin Time Would Be Worse Than Ever Before. It may be true tliut the Hon. Joseph Sibley has had a rather peripatetic po litical career. It Is much more to his credit that through devious ways he has found the light than that he should have remained forever immersed in the darkness of Democracy. When, therefore, he warns the country against tariff reform hysteria, his words are to be taken in the light of his present knowledge and not of his former igno rance. Some Democrats of the Kour bon type may think it a great joy to refer to the time when Mr. Sibley thought otherwise, and they may shriek themselves hoarse over proofs ol" his inconsistency, but the sensible men will rejoice rather that the Penn sylvanian has adopted sound doctrine titan that Mr. Williams, his Mississippi critic; remains oblivious to the most patent facts. It is true that occasionally from the lecture rooms of universities and from the platforms of discredited parties there bursts forth a sort of hysteria demanding "tariff reform." Our lowa friends had some views on this subject which were greatly distorted by Dent ocrats for political effect, but the inci dent was of no importance and is closed. There is no more general de n.and for tariff reform than there is /or the admission of Chinese coolies, anil both are equally undesirable. In this connection tariff reform, of course, re fers to the nonprotectlve ideas of De mocracy. The honeyed words are used to mask an attack on the whole pro tective system. No one claims that the IJingley bill is an inspired work or that it is perfect, but the majority a. ices that it' is an excellent document and that it is much better to maintain a system even with slight imperfec tions than to do great injury to many interests by attempting to tinker up weak spots. In this connection it is not necessary to do more than refer to the unfortu nate event of 1802 and its conse quences. At a time when the nation was enjoying a theretofore unexam pled prosperity the people went after the strange gods of Democracy and plunged it into the slough of despond of from which It did not emerge for four years, or until triumphant Re publicanism had restored protection as the basis of our industrial system. The tariff reform hysteria of 1802 produced widespread woe. A similar attack at this time could only accomplish a much worse situation. Mr. Sibley is right in his warning. Not unless the American people forget will they allow them t- Ives to be carried away by this dead ly political disease.—Philadelphia In quirer. HoofN tpuard. With Gorman at one end of the hal ter and the Democratic donkey at the other lively pulling and hauling may be expected, but the latter will at least and at last have a muleteer very far from being so complete an ass as itself. Gorman possesses some discourse of reason and a looking before and after and can give the party a kind of leader ship from which it parted some time ago, but which restored does not prom ise to keep it out of the ditch. It tends to that, hoofs upward, all the time, no matter who" leads it before or kicks it behind.—New York Tribune. A Bad Habit. Some Democratic quacks have form ed such a habit of laying all the blame for every sort of calamity on the pro tective tariff that if they were to see a neighbor's house on fire they would not think of a tiling to do but rear back on thejr haunches and squall, "Repeal the tariff!"— Moravian Falls (N.
