CARNEGIE’S TARIFF VIEWS.
Wha? a Leading Republican Organ
Thinks of Them.
New York Tribwne.
Tariff roviriion is today a matter
of immediate and immensely nation
al importance, and Mr. Carnegie’s
contvil>utlon to the dvscusniou of it
entitles him to gratitude even from
those who least agree with ail of his
views. At the same time, his ipse
dixit IS not to be accepted as con
vincing by any means, and it would
be au error either for protectionists
to be depressed by the thought that^nors of Indiana allow
The Diiema of Two Governors.
The governor ot Kentucky and
the governor-elect of Indiana arc
confronted by a most strange diffi
culty, and the cause is another gov
ernor.
W. S. Taylor, declared by the
Republicans to have bt;en elected
governor of Kentucky, was indicted

following the assassination of Goe

his residence in IndiauapoHs. From
that time to this the J)em(cratic

Mr. Carnegie has suddenly become
liostile to them, or ior free traders
to be elated at his supposed conver
sion to their cause. The fact is, as
a careful reading ot his article re
veals, that Mr. Cflroegie still strives
to be reckoned a protectionist,
though his expressed conceptions of
the nature am! purport of a protec
tive Tariff are such as protectionists
generally will not approve, whil^
his confident prophecy that America
will soon become the foremost apos
tle of free trade, is irresistibly re
miniscent of Cobden’s unqualiiied
declaration that the prompt conver
sion of all nations to free trade was
as certain as the rising of the sun.
With Mr. Carnegie's opinion that
some of the present tariff rates
should be lowered, if not abolished
ahog'ether, and tliat sonie should be
maintained, if not nctually raised,
we have no quarrel, thougii from
his distribution oi such changes we
are inclined to think the niiajority of
thoughtful economists will dissent.
His exceptional knowledge of tlie
steel and iron industry commands
consideration for his opinion that it
needs no protection ai^l that its
products should be placed on the
free list. But we must question the
correctness of his contention that
imported glass and china and st/)no
ware's, for example, are used to a
noticeable extent only by the rich as
luxuries, and that therefore Cou-
gre.‘5S should increase rather thai.

comply with the request. It has all
been plainly a political game.
Now conditioUvS have changed in
a most remarkable manner. A Re

governor of Kentucky. A Demo
crat has been elected governor of
Indiana. Will the Kentucky Re
publican demand that the Indiana
Democrat surrender for trial Taylor
the Republican uiartyr? And will
the Indiana Democrat decline to be
