But now cornea that stal wart iM-morratlc at all time organ, tbe Charleston New and Courier, aud Inferential! plant Itself on the Han cock platform la Its demand for a turlff tax on tea, and all because South Car olina baa gone Into tea raising and tbe lnduatry Is la lta Infant stage. Tbe News and Courier make lta Inferen tial Imlatence that the tarlfT la a local Issue plainer by pointing out that Con necticut la coining money because of the tariff on Sumatra tobacco, and It want to know wherein Connecticut is any better than South Carolina In tbe following quotation from lta editorial: Take a practical ease: Suppose a hip should come tutu the port of Bo ton bringing as part of Irs cargo a lot of tobacco grown In Sumatra and a lot of tea grown on tbe near mainland of China. Why should the tea be admit ted free, to the Injury of the Carolina tea grower, and a tag ' of $1.50 a pound be collected from the tobacco for the protection of the Connecticut tobacco growers? If these coudltlous were reversed and' the government should impose a protective duty ou tea aud admit Sumatra tobacco free. Is It no. altogether probable that our Yankee cousins would resent the dis crimination against them and heave the whole lot of the favored product Into the watere' or Hot. ton harbor In their righteous tmllguntum?" Just so why should it?

Bab. what rot It 1, In the light of the experience of the past ten years, to say that "free trade gives Justice to the consumer and open wide the door of opportunity to everybody!" now the I prosperous masse of today, a they look back to that awful free trade pe riod of 1803 and 1887, laugh with scorn at such assertions. Aud now for tbe third paragraph above: I'rotectlon does Indeed enrich the producer, and every producer being not only a consumer, but the represent ative lu a buying capacity of other con sinners, the greater hla enrichment the grenter tho -consumption, to still fur ther enrich the producer and so on till free trade clogs tbe wheel and snaps tno chain.

Can It be the 30,000,000 farm en. whose crops and live stock were worth $4,000,000,000 more the past Ave years than the preceding five years? Can It be tbe manufacturers, whose product Is now worth $15,000,000,000 annually as against less than balf that six years ago? Can it be tbe railroads, taxed to their utmost in every part of the land and whose employees are reaping the bene fit of more than SO per cent Increase In earnings over 180C? Can It be the mer chants, wboae stores are so crowded with customers as to require more room, more help and more stock? Csn it be tbe masons and carpenters snd painters and plumbers, all enjoying their short hours and $3 to $3 dally wages? Can It be tbe lawyers, the doc tors, the clergy, the teachers, all with Increased Incomes? Can It be the busy mechanic or even tbe so called day la lorer? They are all busy, and their wages and Incomes are greater per day, per month and per year than ever before. Who are this "favored few" to whom protection dispenses special privileges? Is there a man, woman or child from ocean to ocean to whom protection is not dispensing Its bless ings?

Hen ry Watterson in Louisville Courier- Journal. Raver Has Br, Never Will Be, There is atlll talk of "a broad nation al policy" aa regards the tariff, which would mean disregarding ever thing and everybody and the making of c tariff to suit those who produce noth ing. Tariffs have always been made heretofore to suit American manufac turers and producers. Now It is an nounced that policy must tie changed and the doctrine of protection must be made to mean "a broad national pol Icy," disregarding every selfish thing and acting only from humanitarian and patriotic motives. Such a tariff has never been enacted aud never will be. Tbe men who talk about auch pol icies are Idle dreamers. Dos Moines (Is.) Capital. '! Nt Mara af It.

How much the psrty fears even to take up Us old sbiboleth, free trade. Is evidenced by the Chicago speech of the astute Ed ward M. Bhepard.

New York Hail and Express. - Tlllaa's ftvaardr. Senator Tillman says the newsps pers ruin him by omitting sll that is sane and decent from bis snoechea. out Its own salvation under proper , economic legislation. Tbe present phenomenal prosperity lias been won under a tariff which was made In accordance with certain fixed and definite principles, the most impor tant of which is an avowed determina tion to prot.it the Interest of the American producer, business man. wage worker and farmer ulike. The general tariff imlicy to which, without regard to changes In detail. I believe this country Is Irrevocably committed is fundamentally based upon ample recognition of the difference betweeu the cost of production -that Is, the cost of labor here and abroad and of the need to see to It that our luws shall iu no event afford iidvautage in our owu market to foreign industries over Americun Industries, to foreign capital over American capital, to foreigu labor over our own labor. This country bus and this country needs better paid, but ter educated, better fed and better clothed workingmen, of a higher type than are to bo found iu any foreign country. It has and It needs a higher, more vigorous and more prosorou8 type or tillers or the soil than is pos sessed by any other country. The busi ness men, thu merchants and mauu raeturers mid the managers or the transportation Interests show the same superiority when compared with men or their typo abroad. The events or tho lust few years have shown bow skillfully tbo leaders of American In dustry uso In International business comrctitiou the mighty industrial weapons forged for them by the re sources of our country, the wisdom of our laws and the skill, tho Inventive genius and the administrative capacity of our people. It is of course a more truism to sav that we want to use everything in our power to foster the welfare of our en tire body politic. In other worda, we need to treat the tariff as a business proiKwition from tho standpoint of the Interests of the country as a whole and not with reference to the temporary needs of any political party. It is al most as iiecesssury that our imiIIct should be stable as that It should be wise. A nation like ours could not long stand the ruinous policy of read justing lta business to radical chunges In the tariff at short Intervals, espe cially when, as now, owing to tbe im mense extent and variety of our prod ucta, tbe tariff schedules carry rates of duty on thousands of different articles. Sweeping and violent changes In such tariff, touching so vitally the inter ests of all of us, embracing agricul ture, labor, manufactures and com merce, nomu oe uisastrous in any event, and they would bo fatal to our present well being if approached ou tbe theory that tlio principle of the protective tariff wns to be abandoned. The business world that Is. tho entire American worldcannot afford. If It has any regard for Its own welfare, even to consider the advisability of abandoning the present system. let. on the other band, wherp the industrial conditions so freunentlv change, as with u must of necessity be the case, it Is a matter of prime Im portance that we should be able from time to time to adapt onr economic pol icy to the changed conditions. Our aim should ! to preserve the policy of a protective tariff. In which the na tion as n whole has acquiesced, and yet wherever and whenever necessary to change k. littles in particular paro guphs or schedules as matters of leir. lslatlve detail If such change s de manded by the Interests of tho nation as a whole. In making any readjustment there ore certain luiMirtutit considerations which cannot be disregarded.

It may be better to endure some Inconvenience anil In equalities ft.r a time than by making changes to risk causing disturbance ber if he succeeded.

There is a disposition in some qunr l.-rs to criticise the Vuited States seu ite for appending the clause to tbe Cuban treuty requiring approval by both bouses of congress before the In strument sliall go into effect Senator I'lutt is Inclined to think that too much of a concession wua made to the beet sugar aud tobacco growers by this action. Two members of the Repub Ilcan end or the foreign relations com mittee are dissatisfied because the ac tiou was taken, preferring that the matter had been left on for a deel bIoii by the courts. Aside rrom any questions relating to tho sugar and tobacco Interests In the Lulled States. It Is certain thut If the change bad not been made requiring approval by congress the treaty would not bare been ratified by tbe rather decisive majority secured. A numbcr of southern senators who voted for ratification would never have consent ed to the proposition that the president and the senate of the I'nited States have iwwer to nnike changes In the customs luws of the country without participation by the bouse of repre sentatives. In the matter. It is certain also tbat a numlier or Uepubllcan'scn a tors, some of whom have no objection to reciprocity with Cuba, would not have beeu willing to vote for ratifica tion If It was-to lie understood that the changes In the customs lawa would go Into effect without sanction by the bouse. It Is rather surprising. In view of tbe deep Interest felt In this matter by some of the ablest men In congress. tbat the action of tbe senate lu post poning tbe full effect of the treaty un til the sense of the bouse of representa tives could be tested should be subject ed to so much complaint in some quar ters, and there are charges thut it was a hold up on tbe part of tbe beet sugar and tobacco states senators to prevent tbe treaty being carried Into effect be fore next winter. Certoinly the consti tutional lawyers In the house wbo have examined the question do not regonl it in that light. Regardless of any opin ion aa to tho merits of reciprocity, these memliers slid some of the leading sen ators see In the Cuban treaty, ni It was by some proposed to be carried out, a constitutional question of the utmost Importance. They do tint be lieve that under the terms or the con stitution the president and senate have power to make effective a treaty which changes the customs and revenue laws or the country unless the house up proves or such changes. Some or the members go even further .than that I snd assert that the house must take the Initiative in anthorizlug the treaty. The latter class of representatives ss sert that the change In the custom laws provided for In this reciprocity treaty will not be legal even if the house approve of the treaty now that It has been ratified by the senate. It Is by some of the best lawyers In congress regarded as a question of the utmost Importance that treaties which change the revenue lawa shall be made only In accordance wltb tbe terms of the I'nited Slates constitution. It Is believed by these representative men to be s matter or such Importance be ident aud senate may by a treaty change the revenue aud customs laws. as was proposed in the Cuban treaty, there Is no telling what future presi dents aud senates may elect to do in giving away the public revenues, changing the trade relations between this country and foreigu couutrles aft er the popular branch of congress shall have decided, as tbe constitution re quires it shall decide, what tbo rev etuie luws shall produce for tbe needs of the government. Those wbo look ut this important questlqn in tbat light regard It as of more Importance tbat tbe letter and spirit of tbe constitution be respected In the making of treaties or laws than that reciprocity with Cu bu shall be carried Into effect this sum mer or next winter.
