OUR FEDERAL SYSTEM.
There has been published recently
hy the American Academy of Politi
cal and Social Science an interesting
essay by R V. Robinson, entitled
"The Nature of the Federal State."
The author's text Is the assertion that
the w hole drift of the world Is to
ward federalism today, as It was
toward feudalism in the tenth cen
tury and centralism In the fifteenth.
To this the author adds high praise
of the tripartite form of the United
States government, and yet, strangely
enough, he negatives his own argu
ment by urging the adoption of a
modification of the parliamentary
system of Oreal Britain.
The change in the American
system w hich Mr. Robinson would
bring about Is to give the executive
such a standing in the legislative
department that he could lead legis
lation. To use his own words:
"The Oerman chancellor Is Ger
many's greatest contribution to
politic. liven an elective president
and such a minister or ministers, and
the federal executive of the future
if prophecy lie allowable would lie
aU.i'i.ed."
It so liaps'ns that the United
States Is making an actual though
non-constitutional test of the very
scheme which Mr. Robinson pro
poses. President Cleveland Is lead
ing the legislation, as far as to dic
tate to his party what it shall tlo ami
what refain from doing, but it Is
easy to see that the action or the
president is not received with favor
by anybody outside the army of
place-hunters. It is felt by all
thoughtful jHTsons, Irrespective of
party, that Mr. Cleveland Is exceed
ing Ids legitimate, functions, and the
very idea that a president may in
terfere with the legislative branch of
the government is causing serious
apprehension. Certainly such appre
hension could not he lessened if such
inteference were authorized hy law.
Says Mr. Robinson : "In congress
nobody leads ami nolody Is re
sponsible," and in so aaying he
manifest a singular Ignorance of
congressional practice and proceed
ing. There are several leaden of
the dominant partythe chairmen of
the principal standing coinmittees
antl they act in concert and after
consultation with the apcaker, who
is the exponent of his party' policy.
It may lie the administration meas
ures would be hastened aometlm if
the president had a recognized repre
sentative on the floor of the house,
but this country has never taken
kindly to administration legislation,
and, we vetdvre to say, never will.

THE REM'LT OK THE ELECTION
AMI IM EFFECTS.
The following paper was written
by Houoruble P. C. Cheney, of New
Hampshire, our ex-uilDlster to
Switzerland, Immediately after the
preidentlul election In Novemt-r,
ISti. It was Intended for pub
lication at that time, but was with
held. A a prediction upon the
course of events Its value is even
greater today. It reads as follows :
It dia-t not require the gift of
"prophesy" to foretell the resuli of
the late election, If it is the purpose
to administer tho government, in
accordance with their platform as
enuuicatfd at Chicago. To denounce
the system ot protection "a fraud"
and declare that "it Is unconstitution
al to collect tariff duties only for
revenue" is a prooeiitioii as strange
as it is un-American. To sever tin
arteries which sustain life is to le
come extinct. We cannot exist
without the essential and vital
parts. Our varied industries are so
lilteii'hangeably connected that each
liccomes a part of the w hole. Our
present "governmental system" Is so
formulated as to give successful re
sults and Insure stability. It simply
says, by the fostering of our Indust
rial pursuits, this republic has be
come great, powerful and im
measurably pro-perous, and It
should continue to extend Its pro
tecting care to all and each one alike
to the end that our growth should
not Is checked, and that we may
become as a nation still more con
spicuous. Can any one doubt that, If
with the advent of the incoming
administration next March it should
proclaim that it was to be the com
mencement of the inauguration of
the Kuglish system of collecting
duties and the rccal of all acts
which afforded protection to our
manufacturing industries, in ac
cordance with the resolution adopted
by the National Democratic Con
vention at Chicago, and which reads
as follows:
"We denounce the republican jol
Icy of protection as a fraud on the
lalsir of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of
the few. -We declare It to be a fund
amental principle of the Democratic
party that the federal government
has no constitutional jsiwer to en
force and collect tariff duties except
for the purK)so of revenue only."
If we knew tl AsTHolullou was to
be relterattsl in President Cleveland's
inaugural address, and that the free
trade policy was to lie tho governing
one of his administration, I submit
if disturbing results would not be
imminent. The Italtlmorn Ameri
can, July .(o, is ii-, inane tins pre
diction us to tlm Walker free trade
tariff bill, which went into effect
I tecemlsT 1 of the same year :
"A reduction oflabor is one of the
Inevitable effects of the rcal of the
American tariff act of and the
substitution of McKay's British
tariff bill. The latter deliberately
takes away the sure protection to
American labor, which the act of
Is 12 had so happily and wisely
thrown around it."
The New York Express, July 311
of the same year said: "Wherever
the news w iir go it will sound a
death-knell In the ear of Industry
ami enterpri.se."
Coming Into active business life
at about this period I can icak both
by experience ami observation as to
the verification of thesj ami other
similar predictions. The Mexican
war, the famine in Ireland, and the
mining of gold In California, all
tended to leen the depression effects
of this legislation for the time being,
but at a later eriod In 1 35 1 to 1857
the disastrous results foretold came
Usn tho country with crushing
force. The New York Tribune,
Decern lier IS, 18 4, noted In detail
the depresstsi condition of business
In New York city and vicinity.
More than two-thirds of the people
employed in the large number of
Industrial pursuits named were out
of work. The Erie railroad re
duced the wages of laborers employ
ed In loading freight and repairing
track from 11 to fiO cent per day.
Soup, bread and meat, were dealt out
on the street corners to the starving
thousands who were oegging for
work on any term. Our own pro
ducts were displaced by those of the
foreign manufacturer, and our gold
was required In exchange. Like
causes will, in time, produce like
results.
I con not believe this condition of
things will happen with President
Cleveland at the helm, for I think
him letter than the platform on
which he Is elected, but I am im
prcsjssl with the danger which he
only intervenes to prevent. The
"protection iHiiicy" oniy i.as con-1
tlnued for thirty-one years. This
republic Is able to fearlessly challenge,
tho world for a parallel in all that
tends to make a nation great and
powerful. Out of the free trade,
disloyal ruins, which were the
heritage lequeathed from the Demo
cratic rty, the republican party
has budded up a mighty nation,
which ttxcels in jsiwer, magnitude
ami christian Influence any other
nation on tin glols. Under this
new disiensutiou our hope Is that
their platform will bo Ignored, and
that at the will of the people they
will le able to restore unimpaired
the trnst whu.h is committed to
them. Pkhsom C. Chk.nkv.

It is evident that the country is
soon to ls confrouteil w ith a deficit
of serious proportions. The govern

outgo is, for the time being at least,
considerably atlgliieuted. In the
