IDE TARIFF GRAFTERS
Tho Hmu is in receipt of about BO
.e.oflets from the American Frotccllve
Tariff League, of New York, and con
taining a resolution adopted at
the annual meeting of the league. We
print tho resolution in full as follows:
Resolved: That Reciprocity In com
petitive products by treaty is unsound
in principle, pernicious in practiio end
condemned by all experience It is
contrary aliko to the principle of Protec
tion, to tho fair troatment of domestio
producers, and to friendly relatione with
foreign countries. It is neither ethical
nor economic, since it seeks to benefit
bo me industries by tho sacrifice of otherc,
which it in tho essence of injustice. As
at present advocated, rtclproci y is a
policy of favoritism. It would tend to
array industry nucinet industry, and
section against sectiou at home, and
foment industrial retaliation and politi
cal antagonism abroad. Such a policy
would open the door to tho Rrosscst fa
voritism tu legislation, promote the
growth of a corrupting lobby, and in
crease tho power of debasing botslsm.
Such a policy has no justification in
xCcnoniice, Btatomanship, ethics, or good
politics. Truo American policy Is pro
tection of all the opportunities and pos
sibilities of tho American market for
American enterprises, and fair, equal
treatment for Allothercmntrice, namely
the equal right to compete for Ameri
can business in the American market
by tho payment of the full equivalent of
American wages. This alone ie honest
'Protection, good Republicanism aud
tho true American policy.
The AmeJcan Protect! vo Tariff League
fs the representative of tho3e interests
'which use tho protective tariff as a
can b of robbing tho American con
sumer oat of his eyo teeth at erery op
- porlunity. It believes In "protection of
vill.tho opportunities' abcCposelbilltles-of
tho American tnarkot for Autorlcnn en
terprises," nnd it would carry this policy
to the- oxton of "protccttng" ovcry
trust In Its monopoly nf thu American
market, even though tho trupt iuoy bo
soiling Ita prefects in tno foodgn mnr
kot for much U'sa than tho price extorl
oJ from tbo A iiortcan consumer. Th8 is
protection gomymad.
J'rotcctibn Is n policy of tho Republi
can party, and Jt result havo amply
Justified ita adoption, but thia docMt't
do away with th nocaisily of ueliiR
soruo common scnx in its npplicutirn.
Thwt sro csrea uhwi tho tariff in dm-
plv a means of day'!;: lit robbery, and
thoo casea must bo nttnnilo dto. Tho
tarift needs revision, .iml if it bo not
Jml by Wondll vl be revised
by eouto ono else. This if ully realized
by many of the Republican leader, nnd
the sooner tho counsels of tho American
Protective Tariff Lenguo art discarded
nnd good American common sonso it '
brought to bear on tho tariff question ;
the better fcr tho nation nnd tho Ko
publlccn party.

REVIVED
By Petition for Rehear
ing Being Filed
Crawford Says Claim
is Not Outlawed
Attorney-General Crawford has filed
n petition for rehearing iu tho stilt of
tho Statu ut Ori'L'on tipon' tho bond of
ficotco W. Davis, tho defaulting dork
of tho state land boatd, Mr. Crnnford
raises several question a not presented In
thu briefs iu thu cato when it was tried
by his predecessor, Attorney-Guiioral
Ulackbttrn, tho prlnriplo contention
being that under tho htnitungo of tho
stipulation of facts, it Is uot agreed that
tho defalcation took placo prior to Janu
ary 1, 1H95, nnd ns tho suit was com
menced moro than six years later than
that, tho courts held that thu state's
claim was outlawed. It waa gunorally
uudors'.cod that tho stipulation into
which Attorney-General niackburu en
tered expressly agreed that tho conver
sion occurcd but Attorney-General
Crawford dots not view iu that light.
He says in hia petition for rehearing:
"All tho stipulation shows is, that up
to and including tho 31st day of Docoin
berJSOl, Davis hadcollectcd 35:i,0.!7.:J,
and had stato treasurer's receipt for tho
same period of only 32'J,0 15,15, leav
ing an apparent balnncu of Q0,(S1.93
in his hands, tthich ho did not pay over
uutll after tho first day of January,
16M.
"It is entirely consistent with tho
facta stipulated that Davis received nil
Cjf this balauco .on tho 31st day of
December 1601, and paid it over to tho
state treasurer the 2d day of January,
IS05. At least is nothing in tho facts
that.-warranU any confusion of law to
tho contrary.
"Thcreforo it seems clear that unless
the moro facts of tho receipt of this hal
anco on the Slat day ol December, ISO 1,
.ind failuro to pay it over until tho 2d
day of January, 1895, afford n conclustvo
inforence that such payment waa not-
mado within n reasonable tlmo regard
less of any other circumstances or con
ditions, actual of possible tho court
nnnnl ,ft pnnf,i,i0 RB nrnttor of law nd
detcimino that Davis did not wako
' "Jmmcdlato payment" thereof, and
thereby commlttod a breach of that oh-
nntloD 0, ,lIa bond. AUo ,t ,, obv,oua
that any conclusive inforence of an net-'
ual conversion from tho eamo facts
would bo oven moro difficult to sustain.
"Davis could not pay tho money over
on tho intervening first day of January,
,805 a8 that WM fl ,L.gal hol(ny nml t,,0
nunnrv n,nt,n.l f .niin.i ...i M.,
ing over monoy iu largo amounts through
drafts and checks on banks, of which
tho court must tako judicial notice,
tarnlnhM ready explanation of the
nnlv di'lnv in nnvinent wlileli llinrniitf
can say as a matter of law occurred In
this enso, nnd is of itself sufficient to
preclude nuy legal conclusion that tho
payment was not mado within a reason
ablo tlmo,"
Iu support of his contention that tho
defalcation occurrod after January 1,
1805, Mr. Crawford cites tho report of
tho legislative investigating commitleo
which eayn that the books of tho office
wore correct and all monoys accounted
for on Fob. 22, 1895. This report Iiob
been claimed as a settlement botweon
tho state nnd Davis nnd his bondsmen
up to that tlmo, hut Mr. Crawford
ehooees to vlow it ns evidenco that ul
monoy had been accounted for up to
that tlmo, and tho shortage occurrod
lator. It being agrcod that nearly (31,.
000 was converted by Davis, and theco1
Vobi'ttary 23, 1805 tho riniiouiiblu Infur
enco Is (hat' tho nalual defalcation oc
curred on July 31, 1603, at which tltuu
Davis' term of ollloi ended and at which
tltuu ho bhould luwo aosotintod for nil
1
monvya received by him (Or tho state,
Thero wan also a stipulation that Davis
collected f(K),0Bl,-in after January 1
1803, nnd paid 11 Ilko sum Into, tho stato
treasury. Mr. Crawford contends that
It la not agreed anil U not n nticcosrnry
Inference that thu money paid after
that date was tho tamo money collected.
Tho money paid, hu lienor Is, tuny havo
been money collected prior to January
1st.
Numerous authorities aro quoted lo
sustain the contention that wlicru thcro
is no proof showing tho time of 11 mis
appropriation, tho pH'ctimptlun must bo
that it occurcd nt thu cud of tho term,
Tho nttotitey-gcneral also nrgues In his
petition that ovin It bo eatabllahod that i
tho defalcation did occur prior to Jan
uary 1, 1M3, tho fraudulent conceal
imint of thu conversion nhould prevent
tho runnliigof thu tUttito of limitation
until such tlmo ns tho ctato had had an
opportunity to dlccovcr tho wrong. If
Mr. Crawford's view of tho effect of
stlbulation la correct tho statu may re
