WILMINGTON, N. d THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1897. ' MCKINLEY'S PLAN FOR A TARIFF When we wrote our comments on tlhe president's Inaugural address wadld it in B. spirit of fairness and candor. "We were quite ready to find all the good, all the wisdom, all the encouragement we could. We did hot Dhink it latoie, hut ratlher common-place. It lacked grip, bravery, force, Tt was filled "with gliit ' tering; generali ties." I t toad a oneof ap proval and avoidance, and was desti tute of explicit statement as to reme dies and a defining of a clear-cut poll cy to be persued. He avoided Vh4 Cu- Ikon nil4Ktff.ivn IRHI 'UDoermoBt among American, Interesting to all. He broughtrlmeelf under suspicion, at the Start, and some how appeared to give assurance that a man without back- 1 tone was to the chair when American ! interests are at stake, While supple and I agTeeahle to gTeat corporations and a S robber principle of taxation to placate ' and oblige the money powersThat Is what a ctose Study of the message will ' TrobaJbly reveal to any candid, favtel ' I'ieertt inquirer, be he republican, true democrat, boltocrat or populist or silver man. We really would be glad to see j President McKinley at the very begta- ! ning moving otft on high and fcroaa " ! and really patriotic grounds. We would . Teioloe to see him broadly American, and subservient to no party dictation when 'American hionor - and interests are at stake, and obedient to rio class wr section. 1 Mr. McKinley is a" 'high protectlonfait, -pure and simple. The most unequal, the most unrighteous, the most op press! ve of 'tariffs ever levied upon tlhe i American people bears his own name. 'He did not make it, but helped and in- j trfoduced it as chairman of the commdt- ! te reporting. He believes dn an 1m. . -moral system of taxation that a re- i j publican supreme court many years aeo affixed to tt the brand or roo- ! bery." He-lavors a high protective fax Itevied upon the toiling masses for tfhe enrichment of the rich few. He stands forth as the1 champion of a system of taxaJtion that "is really unconstitution al. He argues that the sure way to national prosperity Is by high taxes. 1 This is McKinleyism as a system. It Vis neither wise, nor just, nor honest, nor fair, nor constitutional nor moral. - "Itobbery" canhbt be honest and fair i 1 and lust and constitutional, and a re ! publican supreme court decided that i taxation: levied -upoij. the people for any ! Turwe whatever save to raise the j needed revenue to carry on thg govern- ; merit was ; "robbery." Yet the new president is favorlable to, even an en- thusi'aBitic advocate of that oppressive, unholy, vicious and afflictive system. . He comiwits himself in his address to protection. That is hisi panacea. He prescribes this nostrum, for "all the Ills" that 'the body politic is heir to. It is quackery ire essence. It will kill his patient if persisted in long enough, f There is enough of poison ln.lt to de- stroy any country, and constitution. It 1 will in the end, if unchecked, bring on -a eonditiloin that can never be relieved -President: McKinley is not a wise man Or he Would see that the condi tlon of our country has changed much for the" worse that the kind of tariff so popular with 'the manufacturing lords ten and twenty years ago cannot '! apply now that it is simply impossible to accomplish an impossible scheme. His plain of taxation is an impossobil . ity, What is It?. He sees the country needs, must have more revenue or gTea'ter eclonomy. The treasury is emp ty'or would be but for Cleveland's j bond 'selling to increase indebtedness. The expenditures exceed revenue by ' millions each month. Cleveland's way caused the deficit to exceed $40,000,000, or more, we think, for his last. year. There is no hope of economy. The last congress, with McKinley's party large. ly in the ascendant 4n the (bouse, was more wastef ul, more extravagant than all the other reckless, ' extravagant democratic and republican congresses. So there is no hope that way. More revenue then must be" raised. McKin . ley opposes the equitable, common- sense plan of taxing needless luxu ries and vicious Indulgencies. He wants a taxation on foreign products. This is to tickle and satisfy the rich men who practically own (him, Mark Hanna at the head. Be' must have a high, tax for the nabobs and plutocrats or else he, will toe driven to the wall by tlielr orbslti'tuted and subsidized largely err culated press. McKinley will never dare to risk that. But there comes the trouble. The tax he would levy for pro tection Will not fetch the Increased revenues needed under the present spend -all and vote-all system in the congress. 'Unas is the embarrassment. It is a " great- one, one Impossible of solution. ' We.wlll turn to a republican newspa- per the very ablest of its kind t!he great weekly Philadelphia American, to show you how this 1st what diffioul ties environ thepresideffit at the out- stet. The editor says,, and we copy ft because at is clear-and true: '. Rut how tariff duties formulated with, a view to yielding greatest reve nue can : at the same time be imade protective is somewhat of ton enigma. To get most revenue Out of a tariff the schedules of duties must toe put as high as they can be put without-put ting- a serious check to imports, but not one. bit higher. A tariff that is pro- uw'Diaary will not yield revenue, and it is the prohibitory tariff that is pro tective. ' The tariff that will be best from a: revenue standpoint must not repress Imports, and It is this sort of a tariff that 'another member of Mr. Mc Kinley's cabinet tells us we want. It is at this sort of a tariff that the presi dent, the erst wile apostle of protection, aims his contradictory platitudes; but a tariff that wffi" not repress imports ' and put no check to the inflow of for- eign goods can extend no effective pro tection.': u There" are many experts in tariff tinkering and yet -It will defy their combined powers to create -a tariff schedule that will raise a larger reve nue and yet afford all the protect Dan demanded by the entrenched. manufaC i turers and capitalists. He can possibly have a very high protective tariff tax passed, but the increased revenue produclng may not come wftih t. T3he American sees this with undimmed .vision and says: "Now the task-is different, and bo is the making of a protecitive and at the same time a revenue tariff, a very dif .A ferent ithdng today than It was twenty or thirty . years ago, when our tmami- f acturmg 4ndustries - wers in- a -more nascent and ; undeveloped, condition. Then we were not prepared to make for ourselves the full tamounit of cer tain lines of goods needed, and no duty was prohibitory, but now things have changed, so that a very moderate, duty is prohibitory to the nportaTioii oc many products. Then en amply pro tective tariff yielded omidh revenue, because until: we were In comdStton:. to supply our own meeas! we importea goods even at a cost irruort aDove xne amtt of making at inome. jtswei mow. through the development of our man ufactories and the curtailment ox -our markets, haying reached a point where we can readily produce, or most manu- factured articles, all that we-weea. a tariff that makes the cost of foreign sraoda more than trm cost or maKing them here, Is prohibitory, and yields no revenue." We believe that to ibe strtdtly true Goods are manufactured mow so cheap ly that entire South Americaih . mar kets freely j compete "with Oerman, lYench and BrigHsh goods. IReOemtly, an immense order for steel, raffls has come from England. Think of that. The, manufacturers . will , not be con tent wtth a revenue-producfeg .tariff. They want to shut out "foreign compe- titron so they can bleed the home peo ple and make them pay 55 cents tax on collars and cuffs and more than that or a thousand other, articles. A tariff amounting to prohibition; is What they crave. A great Chinese wall plan suits them. In our editorial on the address we indicated ouf well known preference for and 'belief to an Inter nal revenue tax on drinks, ; smokes, chews, etc. Then there Is the right eous, fair, equal Income tax best of all taxesthat Is Ignored by 'McKin ley and yet It would produce enough 5by Itself to meet thejdefltaiency to rev enue. The American shows ts usual dlscrimtoataon , and; penetration' and breadth, of view 1n saying: 'So tt s (that "the time haa come When the protective scheduJea of tar iffs have lost for us their poignancy as revenue ecneauiesr- We -must got our revenues out or Other sohedulea and from other ' sources. : Desoite the de cision of the supreme court, an income tax will yet come to be the great re liance of the national government.'

That he may greatly help 'to bring the anxiously de served promised prosperity la the sin cere wish of all; that It will come is more than doubtful. , DEPARTURE OF THE WRECKERS The grand aggregation of radical pop immortals has disolved under the breath of no pay and has "gone glim merlng . the wonder of an hour. With their Ill-got pay in their pockets they gripped their sacks and made tracks for their homes where It is to be hoped a sound public sentiment will compel. them to remain for fife. Cer tainly their services will never be need ed again by sane and sensible and est people. Chattering ourang-outangjs would have shown well nigh as much sense ' of deliberation as some . of the "hands" who outraged all , parliamen tary law and jmblic- decency , by their more patriotic earacolings and bluster ing and shouting and cursing and sing ing. - We are glad they are gone. May the people hereafter select better, soberer saner, wiser, servants than most of the late members ' to ; legislate for our state. Legislation of their sort Is a curse and mockery and a humbug.- The things they nave left undone that North Carolina needed are many. The things they did that should never have been done are tediously and oppressive ly many. The severest .eastigation these dmagogues and disgraceful par tisans have received has come from the organ of their partyand the self-respect ing republican members of ' the body. What fine company the Skinner pie counter kickers- have been keeping. It is an old saw that you can judge a fellow by the company he keeps. : Some things not many we believe have been "done that reserved to be done. The legislature had it in its power to have made a name for wisdom, pru dence, fairness and patriotic devotion to North Carolina. It lost ft completely But few members will return to th'eir constituency with a record that will bear the sunlight or meet the appro val of enlightened men with character and conscience. It has been a sad time for North Carolina., 'In many respects the last legislature ,1s as low and dis gustlng as the scallawag-negro-carpet- bag body of 1868-9. Reform Is a cheat and deception when mouthed by ignO' ranee and demagogues. It is a sound and nothing else, "signifying nothing" a catch -phrase meant to deceive and that deceives lunatics and fools. The Ignoble, detestible concern has "vamosed the ranch," and North Car olina may well "thank God and take courage," as the great Apostle did when he was journeying lei chains to Rome. The Ill-omened birds of prey have flown, the state wreckers have departed.. : LITERARY GOSSIP, " Who wrote these beautiful lines? We do not remember to have seen them be fore: "Beautiful Hps are they whose words Leap from the heart like songs of i oiras, j Yet whose utterances prudence giras. - ' . v The Philadelphia Press has been dis cussing the model of. teaching literature in colleges.- It thinks lectures and nm lessors show a lamentable "ignorance of the language and literature and of Jthe proper mode of teaching." Right or wrong, it holds this: "Probably no educational problem has ever been at tacked with so light a heart or has ac eomplished more harm to real educa tion than what Is known- as 'English in our college departments." -i. , The' celebrated "Spectator of Joseph Aaaison and Dick Steele is to be re printed in England in an eieht volume -edition. It is well that be got in cheap 'editions orthe people rit large would be practically cut off from good literature. Books are enor mously high now. None but a rich man can buy them. .. The life of Lord Tennyson by his son will appear in the fall In two volumes. It will hardly be less than IS nr nn This puts an embargo upon itexceotfor the extravagant or rich.. So it is with all important books of the last few years; We rejoice" that the old are the best and that they are in reach or tne poory else there would be a fam ine of literature and only sIods would be left for the appeasement of intel lectual hunger amon? the scholariv poor who love the best. ; - , K Clarke Russell. AlDhonse Beatrice Harradan and a score of oth ers are about to publish a novel each. There is a deluge of fiction. A new,' one-volume - edition of Bos- well's ever famous and ever new "Llfe of Dr. Johnson" Is to be published In London, to be edited by Percy Fitzger ald, a capable literary workman. That Is jthe greatest of all biographies, and Lockhart's , "Life of Walter Scott" is second! A very fine, admirable life is Trevelyan's ''Life of Lord Macaulay" who was his uncle. His life of Fox, or a part of his life. Is capitally and en tranclngly executed. : -.. , We learn from, the New York Tribune that a young southern professor who is making ' a good literary, reputation . is to ; appear soon in another work. It says:;- :;7 - . "Professor William Trent, of the unl- yer8ity of the south, a writer of excel lent abilities, is about to publish a vol ume dealing with the "Southern States men of theOld Regime." His list of sub jects ranges from Washington to "Jef ferson Davis.";; : . (, : . . He is really a man of clever parts. but he was scored' for some views he presented in his life of William Gilmore Simms, of South Carolina. ,:.We enjby Birrells essays and criti cisms. They sparkle, and are not with out acuteness and vigor. They are very pleasant reading, and are stimu lating withall. He delivered an address lately In London, and his subject was book reviewing; s He Is always bright and bold. He is not afraid of. Ms own opinions or of the public. Among othr er quotable, enjoyable things he said; we cull this: ;: v '-. .:: "No doubt the new books partook more of the nature of news than the old books, though, for the matter of that, the latter would be news to some peo ple. It was satisfactory to note that there was an increasing number of peo ple willing to read reviews of books of more or less critical value. There was an enormous output of books. Who' were the critics who did the work of reviewing? They were people of or dlnary education and ordinary taste, and so far as he knew they . did not reauire any special preparation for the work. No dramatic critic need have read anything . except Ibsen. Reviews were, after all, only a small part of the fortunes of a .book. What he took to be a good, honest review was that of Gray's VElegy." The - critic saia "These homely but meritorious- verses are calculated to give great pleasure. Another critic referred to "In Memo- riam" as follows: "These touching Hum evidently come from the full heart of the widow of a military man." That he should call stupid but conscientious work." We often meet with views and judg ments by critics that appear Irredeem ably stupid. There is often a striking deficiency In taste. We never read an unsound, unfair, blundering opinion from the great English critic, Frederic Harrison. In the realm of letters. An drew Lang Is very Interesting to us. He is really a cultured critic, although often ridiculed by some of his tribe. He writes a great deal and very much he Writes has the true- ring, is safe 'and healthful; Some of his views are to us Injudicious and ' erratic. He has not much admiration for current poetry he even goes so far as to say that "the muse has gone away." He says, and there is certainly a modicum of truth in it,' if not all truth: "The world is too much with us the brawling, snatching, excited world of today and this Js In compatible with greatness and perma nence in literature. We pay this pen alty for democracy, telegrams, news papers, popular education." TO CUKE A COLD IN ONJS DAT. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

But money-saving was not a part of the plan of the rad, pop. gang. The presiding officers of the legisla ture were thanked In due form. How meaningless! What have they done to. merit thanks from legislators who sought to serve the state faithfully? But perhaps that class did not participate in the stereotyped sham. . Rev. Mr. Brougton raised an excite ment at Atlanta by his vigorous, plain, lively preaching. The Contstitution calls him "a red-hot evangelist." Con sidering how often Atlanta has had to listen to Sam Jones, It is rather re markable it should be so stirred by the young North Carolinian. All the Bap tist ministers heartily praise him. The Constitution says: "Besides several hundred dollars given him Thursday, Dr. Broughtton was the recipient last night of a hand some gold watch for his wife and a sou venir spoon, donated by admirers all over the city., "Handkerchiefs were used freely by the feminine portion of the congrega tion when the hour of parting came, and It was late In the night when the crowd dispersed." Tiat action of the Southern , was a tremendous surprise to Russell and his gang. It-was a bomb hurled right at bis feet. It checkmated his movements and stirred his bile. The Tsar shows this in his bitterness of expression, sar castic and yet with a subdued sound of astonishment. He will become more desperate, and his four years of official life, . unless he can be persuaded by a longer term and greater pay to retire, will probably be distinguished with all of the unfortunate characteristics and qualities that have preyented ah Intel lectual "man from being a blessing to his race and an ornament to his natiye state. He will return to his old bad way's and will throw to the winds all intention of serving well North Caro lina. Leastwise, it looks that way now. He is only kind and fair when unop posed. Dare to thwart his plans or to oppose his plans and at once all the abounding evil of his nature is" aroused into defiance and he loses all sense of what is right and proper. ' SNAPS. It seems to be the opinion of the press that McKinley will prdve no friend to Cuba. . ' " It is now stated that Grover Cleve land goes out of office "worth $7,000, 000." How did he get it? There are a quarter of a million ne groes in the United States who are Ro man Catholics. Louisiana has 80,000. There is an early " split in McKinley's happy family." ; McKinley and Gage want to kill greenbacks and Sherman la opposed to it. : Why that? In February $1,340,000 of silver dollars were coined. Why con tinue money that Cleveland, Carlisle Company swore were "fifty-cent dol lars." Is it right o do this? The Missouri legislature greatly rel joices over ( Grovers retirement. The country Is ditto. One of the dispatches says: : , "The Ywwm nt raanrmn oyiriAiinotnff fi,A change of administration put the lower uuuse in a nutter or excitement, " and just at its climax Colonel Crisp rose and moved tnfl.t thlkhAiioo tflVa a ruiooa to celebrate the raTtenim- rf m avel anil "I do.thls," shouted Colonel Crisp, "be cause Cleveland has never served his party, his country or his" God.". .

Philadel phia American, rep. The Louisville Ourier-Journal, Which supported the cause of the bolting democrats last fall, and Which ta that extent, at least, was in league With Mr. Cleveland, publishes a four-column ed itorial reviewing the last presidential administration. The article, we take it, Is from the pen of Henry Watterson, and purports to deal with Mr. Cleve land With judicial calmness and Im partiality. We quote the concluding paragraphs, which afford an excellent sample of the whole article: He came into office, the first democratic presi dent in twenty-five years. As to the political issues of the time, he posess ed no special instructor. Of the leading men of Wis party he knew little or nothing. No man ever crossed the threshold of the White house so ill prepared as he; for even General Tay lor "had been the commander of nation al armies, and, was personally ac quainted wi th all the great 'men of the nation. Yet, with the bravery of ig noranceor, shall we say, with the self-confidence of the man of destiny? Mr. Cleveland thought he knew it all. To him, the senate of the United States was the legislature of the state of New York; the house of representa tives, the cfty council of Buffalo. He found out his mistake. But, as his in telligence increased Ms amiability di minshed. The fast four years, he has cultivated neither, preferring to pur sue a method, half boorish, and half autocratic, peculiarly his own, driving alike from his personal Intercourse and publlo support men' having original, independent opinions of their own, or a strong sense of self-respect.
