The Republican has discovered that the one vital national issue which is rising into prominence is the main- tenance of the tariff. It declares that for many years this issuc has been “moribund” and that the first signs of a revival of interest in the question came in 1880. The fact of the matte is that the 1ssue which is more v than any other to our people, the re. duction of taxation, 18 responsible for the revival of interest in tho question of the tariff. Our present tariff was patched up with the double intention of creating a war revenue and of affording protection to native indus tries, While the war was in progress and while every business felt the arti ficial stimulus of war timea the bur- dens of the tariff were not complained of. 1: was the times of depression succeeding the panic of 1873 which first set our people to thinking of the excessive taxation which the tariff imposed wupon them and which later brought it out as an issue before the country, The cry for a reduction of taxation turned attention at once to the two sources of the national revenue. These are the tariff and the internal taxes, which together pour into the treasury $400,000,000 a year. This is on an That issue is not whether the tariff The It is & noto- equally well known that the customs list contains hundreds of articles on which duties are charged and which could be admitted free without injury to any American industry. The treas. ury department itself admits that the freo list ought to be largely extended. What is needed is a thorough re- modeling of the tariff. The Repubii- can may be cortain that the change demanded by the people is a change in the line of lower imports and de- ocreased taxation. There will be no contest between parties on the issue of maintaining the tari¥ as already existing. Neither democrats nor re- publicans dare face their constituents on such an issue When every man, woman and child is taxed $8 a year to support the government and maintan monopolies, itis no wondez that thecry for reduction is heard in every section of the country.

Prohibition snd License. 8t. Louis Republican. The western distillers’ convertion, held at Chicago last week, took a step that is not without intercat and sig- nificance at this time. It might be supposed that the peraons who are en- gaged in the manufacture of spirits would favor the unlimited sale and consumption of their products and ops pose every measure intended to regu- late and restrict that sale and con- consumption. But the very reverse what we actually tind. The distillers favor policy of subjecting the enlo of liquor to & sysiem of rigorous restriction, su pervision and taxation with 2 view to making it, first, an orderly and repu- table business; second, a source of large revenue to the state; and third, of protecting society against the dis- orders, vices snd violence which at- tend a promiscuous and practically irreeponsible pursuit of it. Alere are the resolutions they adopted unani- mously “Wuegreas It is well known that the American people vrere brought up to preserve an orderly Sabbath, and laws are on the statute books forbid- biddivg all kinds of labor on that day; therefore, Resofved That we are in [pyvor of enforcing those laws, and ask no special privilege for the business wo are engaged in, Resolved: That tho fact of prohibi- tlon does not prolsibit has been abun- dantly proven. Therefore, we are in favor of a well digested licenso law that will protect the state as well as the licensee, and the price placed at such a point as will yield a large reve- nue, reduce the number of drinking places and elevate and make more re- spectable this branch of business ¢‘Resolved That we are opposed to ar- raying ourselves as a body against cither of the great political parties, but leave each memier full liberty to cast his ballot according to his best judgment and in conformity with the dictates of his conacience.” This is net: prohibition, it is the very reverse of it. But neither is it promiscuous, and unlimited licuor selling, it is very reverse of that too. Both these extremes have been tried and found wanting. Prohibition does not prohibit, it seemas ather to stimu- late the consumption of the thing pro- hibited and engender hypocrisy and ovasion, But it dees not follow, therefore, that we must remove the fotters from liquor selling and leave it freo and indiscriminate. The good sense of the peoplo of Missouri is be- ginning to perceive that the real solu- tion of the linuor question is in the middle ground of a rigorous subjec- tion of it to the authority of the state und the good order of society, This can be accomplished by making the liconse to sell a valuablo privilege to be bought with a high price, placing every licensee under heavy bonds to keep an orderly house and not to_sell to minors and others whom the law forbids him to sell to, and requiring him to olose his saloon on Sundays, holidays and election daye, except during a epecified hour. The effect of this would be a marked: im- provement in all the conditions of liquor selling and liquor drinking, and the exemption of society from many of the evils that attend the present conduct of the business, It give o monopoly of the retailing busi- ness to the wealthy saloon-Lkeepers, who slone could give tho re- quired #ond and pay the re cense, and that the small salo doing & limited business in out of the way places would have to olose up, This may be true, but even if it be, the public would not regard it as a thing to be deplored that the diszeputablo vlaces in the country whese violent men resort to quarrel, and to similar places in cities where hoodlumism is spawned and fostored, were forced out of existonce. The manufacture of Jiquor is & monopoly, restricted only to men of large capital and sub- jested to heavy charges; so are many other kinds of business, For the state to exercise its admitted author- ity in placing the retailing of liquoz in the same category in the interests of good order would not, therefore, be a peculiar hardship. From time immesmorial goyernmeut has exercised the adwitted right to regulate aad re- strain the selling of intexicating drivks m behalf of public decency and the genera! good——and this is ali that suciety in Missouri asks for w the proposed invigorated license system. **“Facts speak plainer than words.” Proof:—*‘The Dogtor told me to take a blue pill, but 1 didn’t, for I had already been poisoned twice by mercury.
