The Administration and the Tariff.. ;
Washington Special to N. Y." "World." -
' A high" official of this Administra
tion wasTasked to-night by the World
correspondent: ; "What 'will be the
tariff policy of the new Administra
tion in its recommendations to Con
gress?; Have you gentlemen yet ar
rived at any, agreement?' -yz. Z
j-He replied i "The tariff" policy of
the ; Administration will . be very
plain ahd direct one. : It will recom
mend a. modification of existing tar
iff laws and the reorganization of the
tariff upon a revenue, basis with in
cidental protection." :
J" Will Mr. Manning' prepare a bill
to be subnitted to. Congress ?" -. , i
"I do not know. -It is'hardly prob
able that anything more than a gen-
e proposition will be submitted to
Congress. . It is not usual for an Ad
ministration to present a bill of this
kind, although the tariff of 1846 was
prepared by Secretary Walker and
practically adopted by Congress
without much change." " This gen
tleman went on to say : "
"The Democratic party has never
been a party ot absolute unitv.
hero has always been a' strong mi
nority, m it which contended with
the majority upon matters of policy
but in the main the majority view
has prevailed without losing the al-
tho minority. There is
no question that the great majority
of the Democratic party favors a
modification of the tariff laws and
heir adjustment upon a purel3r rev
enue basis, with such incidental
.... .
protection as may be necessary for
the proper protection of our indus-
ries. The Democrats who are op
posed, to this view will either have
to' suecumb or go outside of the par
ty. The time for any serious com
promise has, passed. The Republi
can party is the party of protection.
The Democratic party is the party
of revenue reform. You will find
the Administration adhering pretty
closely to the tariff doctrine of the
Chicago platform ; that is to say, its
construction of that platform."
-This important declaration will
masce a stir in poimeai circles, lor
none of the members who have come
here thus far have been able to find
out anything about the future tariff
policy of the Administration.- The
revenue reformers will find a: great
deal of encouragement in; the fact
that the President is to assume this
position in his message to Congress,
but before they, take' too much cred
it to themselves they must call to
mind that Mr. Randall has been stu
dying this subject all summer with
a view to advocating tann reiorm
this winter. The -Administration,
therefore, will ,be in harmony with
all of the leaders in the House upon
this "question. - Mr. Carlisle had a
number of interviews with the Pres
ident during the summer, but he
had very little talk with" him upon
this subject. It is only recently that
the matter has been taken up by the
President and discussed with his as
sociates, " ' . .
The majority of his Cabinet advis
ers , are strong revenue-reiorm peo
ple. 'Mr.- Bayard is a pronounced
low-tariff man, and has vcn advro

Her Brother.
Words of deer. . '
A handsome, stately youth of . 16
years passed one day through the
play-gfound of a public school."
"There goes brother Robert," call
ed out a little girl in the midst of a
group of scholars. 'Isn't he handr
some?"
' "Why ? Why ?" cried out severid
voices at once. ' - 1 1 - V
' "Oh, he is so, good L He never
swears, nor chews or smokes tobac
co ; neither, does he everdnnfe any
liquor. I am so glad that I have
such a brother."
- The children all looked
again
with, admiration upon the youth,
when one of them earnestly remark
ed : I hope my brother. will be like
him."
i he next day two young men
droverapidly past the same children
in a buggy.
One of them had a cigar stump in
his mouth, and was so drunk, that
he could hardly sit up:
As the buggy went by the children
heard him utter a terrible oath.'
, "That is Will tfurton" said one
of the children ; "he tends in a sa
loon and is drunk the greater part
of his time. I would be ashamed to
have such a brother." :
No one noticed that a little girl
ran awav and hid herself. In a few
minutes her playmates missed her.
They soon found her, weeping and
sobbing as if her heart would break,
She refused , to tell the cause of her
trouble, but it was clear .to all o
them, as a riittle girl whispered to
another: . ' ' '
"That drunken boy was her
brother."
Boys, see that your actions and
lives are such that your sisters may
be proud of you. Never give them
cause to be ashamed of you

Washington, Nov, 8. -The an

the purpose of the Republican party

unless their votes are all credited to
the Republican party, J paving an
effect most probably not at. all fore

Sherman, has attracted the earnest
attention of representative colored
men here' who are in communication
with the leaders of their l ace in the

Democratio majority in Virginia and
the carryipg of Republican counties
in southern Maryland by the Dem
ocrata are due in iio small degree to
this threat of Senator Sherman..
They are, indignant that they are
put in the attitude of life chattels of

A Word to the Boys.
St, Nicholas.- - . ' '
!The trades in our country, of late I
years, have been almost monopolized I
by foreigners. The American boy, I
liowever, when he does take a trade,
goes straight onto the top of the lad-1
der ' It seems as if our boys would
rather be fourthrate lawyers or phy-
orciansthan '-eanr theii: living- by
working with their hands! Only the
other day I read in a New York
newspaper of- a -young lawyer inLa
distant 'city, whom -1, knew some
years ago when I resided in that sec
tion ' of the country whb literally
starved to death. He made scarcely
any money, was too proud to tell of
his . want, lived as long as he could
on cracKers and water, and -was
foun d one day in his office dead
from lack - of , nourishment. He
should never have entered the legal
profession, for he had no ability in
that direction. As .a farmer or me
chanic he might 'have lived a "long,
useful and successful life.- :'" . -v '
No boy, of course, should enter a
trade Unless he feels himself fitted
for it; 'button -the other hand, he
should not, it seems to me,, let the

preserving the gold piece, because
they are scarce of that denomina
