TARIFF HYSTERIA.
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

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. C.) Yel
