They are mistaken theorists, who are either ignorant of history or have read it through the spectacles of prejudice, and not necessarily intentional public cnemies. With respect to the argu- ments in support of the policy of protec- tion as now in practice Mr. Kasson offers nothing essentially new. The ground he travels over has been trodden by many before him, and the facts and con- clusions he presents are not of the na- ture of a revelation. The subject, it must be confessed, does not admit of much being said that would be ne After twenty-five years of discussion the ources of the theme arve pretty nearly exhausted. But the purpose of Mr. Kasson was not so much to supply a new or addi- tional argument in defense of protection as to proclaim, for whatever influence it might exert at this juncture, that the policy is entirely acceptable to the west, and that the people of that section do not desire and will not approve of any interference with it. Assuming to speak for the entire region lying to the north and west of the Ohio river, Mr. Kasson identifies it as fully with the cause of protection as is Pennsylvania or any other portion of the east. And he makes this identification the stronger by affivming that it isthe resultof a careful and unprejudiced investigation of which the people east of the northern Alleghanies arve incapable by reason 1z grown up in the traditions of ion. Mr, Kasson is evidently unfamiliar with the current drift of western sentiment on this subject, and is still resting his faith on a condition that prevailed years ago, whem there were sevoral reasous to justify it. The past two or three years, however, have wrought a véry great change in the feeling of the west regarding the existing tariff policy, and it is pure as- sumption to say that now the predofu- inant opinion is in favor of maintaining that policy. It is very true that no con- siderable part of the people want free trade or anything appronching to it. Every man of THE DAILY BEE.

They have for months defied public sentiment and assumed the attitude of dictators and autocrats instead of rep- resentatives and public servants. In this reckless disregard of law and com- mon decency they have been upheld by a venal paper, for the sake of the paltry advertising patronage.

Native-grown tobacco now pays an mternal revenue tax of eight cents a pound, while the imported article pays a duty of from 75 centasto 81 a pound. Until May 1, 1883 thel internal revenuo tax on tobacco was i&;-nw a pound, at which it yielded $421600,000. After the reduction the revenue from this source fell to #26,000,000 and has remained at about that amount. The immediate effect on the price of reducing the tax was a small decline, but this did not last long and tobacco soon sold at the old prices, fluctuating ever since in accord- ance with the prospect of the crops and the foreign demand. It does not appear that any portion of the 816,000,000 revenue which the govern- ment relinquished in 1883 has gone into the pocket of the consumer, and if this was not the case with a reduction of from 24 to 8 cents, itisnot likely that the consumer will be atall benefitted by abolishing the present small tax. With most of the statesmen who are concocting revenue measures, however, the intevests of the consumer are not the chief matter of copcern. E—— THE republican programme for next year has all been arranged, according to the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald.

It will nominate Mr. Blaine, who will atonce set out for his home in Augusta, passing through Nebraska en Furnace ca- Bar mills The Board of Public Works and City Hall Contract.

More than one-third of the basement ve- mained unfinished four months after the expiration of that time, and thercupon the board of public works cancelled the contract and entered into an agreement with Nevins & Co. to complete the city hall basement. This action, at least so far as cancelling the contract goes, can only be legally revoked by the board it- self. The council is powerless to re- voke it because the contract confers no such power upon that body, but on the contrary expressly vests the board of public works with the sole” authority to annul the contract. All the council can do is to in. demnify Regan Brothers for any loss they may have suffered by reason of failure by the city to pay the estimates for work done and. material furnished. The manifest interest of the city is to expedite the construction of the build- ing and compel the contractors, who- ever they may be, to live up to the con- tract so far as material and workman- ship ave concerned. The board of pub- lic works and city engineer are charged with this particular duty and interfer- ence with them, detrimental to the public interest, is utterly inexcusable.

A SENATOR MCPHERSON of New Jer: who will retire from public life at the expiration of his present term, is very exphicit in saying to the revenue re- formers in congress that they must not attempt to cut very deep into the tariff if they expect to retain New Jersey and Connecticut in the democratic column, and he can’t figure how a democratic president can be elected without these states. The senator favors dropping the tobacco tax and for the®remainder of the reduction in revenue necessary tobhe made taking off certain tariff duties the loss of which would not affect the wages of labor. He announces that any tariff bill that might have the effect of reduc- ing the wages of workingmen he will oppose. This illustrates one of the very hard dificulties in the way of any extensive changes being made in the tariff by the next congress, that will be of material relief to the people. There is hardly a duty levied for which it can- not be ecluimed that it gives some pro- tection to labor, and when democrats like Senator McPherson and Randall plant themselves on the proposition that no tariff bill that might affect the wages of lubor will receive their support, the having the power to defeat such a meas ure, it is obvious that the chance of gotting a veasonable and just revision of the tariff is almost ¢ scene, in Lincoln has a membership of 425, Mrs. Furray, of Hastings, died sud- denly while starting the Kitchen fire.

LT It is not surprising to learn that Sen- ator Riddleberger, of Virginia, intends to vote with the democrats for the ad- mission of Judge Turpie as & senator from Indiana to succeed Harrison. His doing this will accomplish the seating of Turpie, and doubtless keephim there, as Riddleberger's vote with the demo- crats will tie the senate. The Virginia senator has not felt kindly for a couple of sessions toward his republican col- leagues, and at the last session he was almost completely ignored by them, mainly in consequence of his chronic state of inebriety and the cranky dis- position which that condition produced. He is the sort of man who would advantage of an opportunity to retaliute, and he has now the chance to do so in a way that wil be_ felt. Besides, it may be fairly” supposed that Riddleberger is not proof against all inducenients which the democrats are in a position to offer, nor need it be doubted that they will make use of him even at a price.
