A comprehensive glance at the effect of the
Democratic Tariff 1 *iJ1 OB the industries of this
St?to is furnished in tho talks with nicmheis
of tho Lecislaiure reported ly our Albany
correspondent to-e'av. Tho interviews are with
men of Loth parlies. They show that thero is
widespread alarm, and that the Republican
party is steadily faining converts in Democrats
who soc that the policy of their own party
means ruin for the country.
A test case, of the right of a street-car com?
pany to compel every passenger to he his own
conductor is being made in the courts, lt is
to be hoppd mat it will be pushed strenuously.
Tho citizen who submitted to arrest is doing a
public service of no small value, and he de
serves the wannest kind of support. The
sentiment c-f the c 'immunity is now thoroughly
aroused against the hob-tail cur, and now is
tbe time ko RS* '?'* o_ w*hat is not only a con?
stant monaco to human life, but a species of
petty imposition te> which the people of this
town have too long submitted.
* i
The movement for the establishment of Re?
publican clubs needs nt this stage neither ex?
planation uer eomin.-nda.tion, It speaks for
itself. In this eily, however, tho work eif or?
ganization, which is nnder the cate of a com
?nfiUee of tho Republican Club of the City of
New-York, la impeded by a lack of money.
The appeal printed elsewhere this morning
will no doubt be promptly heeded. The treas?
urer is Mr. William llrookfield, of No. 4 5
Cliff-st., tn whom contributions may bo sent
with confidence that tney will le used where
they will do the most good.
What the Senate will do with the tariff ques?
tion is still undecided. So much time has I?. n
consumed by the House on tho Mills bill that
to treat tho subject comprehensively and ade?
quately would prolong the session to an extent
that many members of both houses would lind
irksome. At the same time, not a few Sen?
ators favor the passage of a substitute for tho
''Dark Lantern" me-sure as speedily a-s pos?
sible. The alternative proposition is to ap?
point a committee to make full inquiries, and
present a bill when Congress reassemble*, foi
the short session. There ate many things t<,
bo said on both sides, but a decision will doubt?
less be arrived at without difficulty.
A man who occupies a high place among
temperance workers, who wields large inllu
etu-o, who went over to thc Prohibitionists m
1884, and who has now come l?*e_ to thc Re?
publican party bocaiwe in it is the only BOff
f**r real temperance reform, and because he
believes that Prohibition is "a Democratic
movement under another name"?the views of
such a man cannot fail to to timely and
pertinent in the preaent juncture. Tho mau
is Mr. William 1*. Crooks, of Jersey City, and
an interesting talk with him is reported in an?
other column. In particular, it ought lo bi
read by every rrohibitionist. Mr. Crooks
knows what he is talking Bbooi when he says
that the Prohibition party is an "utter and
complete failure," and that tho third-party
men are simply working for tho success of the
party which has its firmest lull in the saloons
of the counlry. How many more Prohibition?
ists are there, who. like Mr. Crooks, will re?
fuse to abide with the organi/.atiou whose ob?
ject, as BTOWOd by its leaders and spokesmen,
is to " .*iuash rho Republican parly"?
TIIE DEMOCRATIC 1'IIOIOGRAPB.
Tm: Tmnrxr publishes to-day a record of the
fruits of Reform und"*- President Cleveland, lt
is not a review in which any American citizen
can take pleasure or pride. Kvery right-think?
ing person who roads it will realize that this
country has been disgraced, and that the sincere
desire of the people for genuine Reform has
heen insult*ed. The pledges by which Presi?
dent Cleveland gained his election have been
deliberately, systematically and contemptuously
disregarded. So nauseating ia the contrast be?
tween his i>r< fossil,ns and bis acts that a Dem?
ocratic journal cries ont, "Petter a public im?
molation of the President's callow utterance*
**f incipient statesmanship thao a continuance
of pretence and can! and sham."
Put it is not the personal faithlessness of
Mr. Cleveland to his pledges, not his jiersonal
insincerity, which will most d'-cply Imprest tho
people in reviewing this matter. As a tree is
lr?iowa by its fruits, so a great political party
diBCloaea ita character by irs selection tot places
of honor and trust. After twenty-four years
if exclusion, tlie Democratic party came back
lo power in 1885, Since that time it has re?
vealed to the people more of its inmost nature
thia even its best leaders ever understood. Its
real likes and dislikes, its sympathies. BSaocia
ti.-ns and habits; ihe character of tho men who
ordinarily control its workings and shape ifs
utterances, are revealed bj its choice of public
officials. The country has a right to trust this
revelation, for it is one which the party itself
baa made, as the traits and propensities of a
man record themselves OD thc photographic
pla'o ia the slicing sunlight with absolute
fid-liiy.
Il is a party which honors and trusts men of
a coarse and grovelling type and of low asso?
ciations. Net by accident do so many jailbirds
and scoundrels, so many drunkards and dead?
beats, so many ignorant, degraded and brutal
creatures, come to represent a great party when
it first selects its favored ones after twenty
four years of exclusion from oflice. N**t bj
accident do creatures get its most potent recom?
mendations whose personal character makes
them unfit for the BSSOci-l-Ofl of decent citi?
zens. Not by act -dent do graduates of tho
penitentiary and the workhouse have tho in?
fluence of a Democratic organization behind
them. Nd by accident cb* 80 many unscrup?
ulous and disreputable men, election swindlers,
forgeis, thugs, keepers <'f liquor-saloons and
places of b:;*l repute, gamblers and poker
players, swindlers on a large scale in the st.-ck
board or in public offices, and dog stealers or
tappers of church tills or horse-thieves, com?
mand tlie indorsement and the influence which
secure appointments.
It is a party which honors and prefers dis?
loyalty : which cherishes a fierce and fanatical
affection f*i traitors aad those who sympathize
willi treason. The foulest mouthed and the,
vilest acting traitors, the mon whose deeds and
words revolt even the more cultivated ox-Con
fed* rate who broadened his mind by brave con?
duct in wai?these aro creatures who come to
the front as represCBtatlves of the innermost
spirit "f a party. The Copperhead whose words
were so vii*- that they cann of now be printed;
the men who have been engaged in forgery,
ballot-box stuning, bulldozing, whipping, and
systematic assassination, as means of restoring
rebel lupremacj against the law: these are tho
men who take places of trust and honor in
spite of the protests of loyal and decent eil zens.
The country has to face the facts. What?
ever is basest und mest degrading in its char?
acter and history, in its tendencies ai.d passions
and vices, naturally gravitates to the Demo
ciatic party. The inevitable outcome, when
that party is intrusted with power, is National
di-grace. _
A SECTIONAL TARIFF.
Another Southern Tariff bill has been passed
bj the House. It is the direst fruit of that great
crime against free gOTernment bj which free?
dom of voting in Southe in States was pre?
vented and President Cleveland was elected.
Including men paired. 03 Northern members
voted for the measure and 111 against it.
With the Northern States more than two to
one against the bill it nevertheless passed, be?
cause 108 Southern Totes w* re for it, of which
at least 2<? had been secured by fraud. Sec?
tional in its origin and spirit, peculiarly sec?
tional in lt.- provisions and in the theory which
shaped it, this bill cannot carry a single North?
ern State, and yet it is to be imposed upon the
industries of Ute North?unless the Senate de?
feats it?by votes obtained in Southern States
through flagrant defiance of tho Constitution
and the laws.
If the Northern people wish to be ruled in
that way. if they are willing to have their in?
dustries prostrated and their pi.sperity ai
rested bj a sectional ateaaure passed bj South?
ern climes, thej will continue to sneer at the
"blendy shirt" and to permit the Democratic
pavy to govern the country. This great city
and the crowded adjacent populatioa from
which the Democratic party draws all ita Indies
of success have a deep interest ii, the result,
and yet cannot defend their industries against
the foreign influence here prevailing. Put for
the populatioa within ten miles of the City
Hall New-Jereej would not be doubtful, and
New-York would give over 50,000 majority
against free trade and the sectional policy of
the Denna'a*, ic party. Put here the foreign
agents and those identified in interest with
them have something to 'tain by free traele.
Outside of this little circle the great Northern
States have everything to lose by breaking
down homo industries, and it is for the people
of th"S' States to say whether a seotiona]
Southern polioj shall prevail. They can out?
vote this eily and its environs if they (boose.
Even after a Democratic Congress had been
elected by Southern crimes this or any similar
measure would still have been beaton but for
the patronage and ii resistible powat Of a Presi?
dent who bael deliberately chosen to serve the
South and te*-* bet ray the North. .More than
twenty Donn-eratic members were pledged to
their constituents to support tho policy out?
lined by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, but
have been bullied **r bribed int** betraying tho
interests of constituents. T<> seme sham Re?
form bas promised places in BBVJ janis, cus
tom houses and post offices; to some it ha*
promised jobs and contracts: ami some it has
brought to their kn"-.-* hy ile- threat that tie
psdd h____a>a of the Aelmiiiistration would
pack conventions to defeat them unless they
yielded.
lt is a good thing for the country that the
Irresistible momentum toward a Southern policy
within the Democratic party has been thus
plainly bbown beloit* tbe Presidential election.
Put for tho threats and the bribes of tke Ad
mi ni st rat ion. it may be said, there would *'ill
have been substantial Democratic opposition
to such a policy; Mr. Randall would not havo
been left with only fe.ur supporters in the
House. Yet the tinea's and bribes of an Ad?
ministration controlled by th*- South constitute
Ihe force with which Northern industries havo
to reckon, if the election of another Demo?
cratic President _hd Congress is permit feel.
ta fl Democratic caucus tho Southern Free
Trailers have a large majority, ariel they shape
the policy of the party. Then their order* are
obeyed by ? President wini owes his placo to
their crimes.
Two Northern Republicans proved faithless
to their party. Out of 10,000 votes in Mr.
Fitch's district there have been carefully
scraped together the signatures of 2.Soo votes,
less than one in ten, who approve his position,
and this he chose t*> consider a warrant for
disngai cling the principles and platform of his
I'.ii'v, Mr. Nelson, of Minnesola, publicly ad?
mitted not long ago that his constituents,
though anxious for a revision of tariff. di*l
not want a free-trade or Democratic revision.
What influence moved him at the last moment
he will have oooasioo t<* inform his constituents.
One Southern member elected as a Republican,
and two Lab.ir candidates elected by Repub?
lican votes, al*.) illustiated the obi truth that
the Republican party gains nothing by elect?
ing men who d'* not believe :n i's principles.
Put the division slews that the tun great
parties are practically unanimous, one in sup?
porting tho principles "f protection, and the
Other in contending for Ihe Southern theory
of fro.- trade. The voters have uow to choose
between them.
Til E f ES LES A LY Ct R8UR.
Tho Hon*.'-' of Representatives has pawed
(he bill making an appropriation for the cen?
tenary census, as thal i-f 1890 will be. The
Senate should not fail to pa-s ihe lull before
adjournment, as ti,* time is oona i"** long for
I th*- preliminary work which most precede the
j actual enumeration Few persons have any
! conception how vast aa undertaking a census
: i's, and what an enormous amouut "f work is
! necessary in advance which the public never
gets a glimpse of. It is prof ably true also
that few reali7e how pre-eminent the United
States has become in this important branch of
Government work. One instance will suffice.
Belgium is the only Furopean country, as .Mr.
COX stated in his speech the other day, that has
endeavored to collect through its census the
statistics of industry. Ps first effort to rb)
this, ju 181,3. waa considered unsuccessful, al?
though thc facts wero published. A second
attempt twenty years later was such a failure
that the results were never published. A third
effort was made in 1880, and the volumes cov?
ering the industrial statistics havo just ap?
peared. Tht'lC has been considerable cottt
plaiat regarding the delaj in the publication
of mhiic of the results <.f our last census, but
this shows that tho more important branches >.f
the work were disposed of much more expe?
ditiously than in other countries. The statistics
of population and e,f industries in the census
of issn were issued very promptlj. The real
delny has been in publishing the reports of
s-iiiip' of tin- special agents. Tba' census was
a great work, aad attracted the admiration of
ttatistidsns throughout the world. The fact
that Mr. Seaton, who was in charge, became in?
sane under the pressure' e,f the work is a meian
cholj proof of the exacting nat ure of it. One
of these days we shall probablj have a perma?
nent bureau devoted to this subject, and then
it can be handle.l mere icientificallj and with
less of the strain of hasty preparation.
The Eleventh Census need Bot be so ex?
tensive as the last, because io many subjects
were exhaustively presented then. For ex?
ample, Professor Sargent's splendid report on
the forest trees of America is permanent in its
character ami seed net he repeated. The game
is true of the reports on tie water-power of tho
United states, transportation, the production
of petroleum, wages, prices of commodities,
etc. Other subjects which were speciallj treat
, ed in the last census are now under the charge
! (pf various bureaus. The Department "f Labor
, covers wages, strikes, etc, and the Geological
j Survey various BCieotific features of the min
j ing Kndnstrj. Onlj seven publications aro
' provided for, and the expense is limited to
' (6,000,000, which, considering the increase, in
j population, will not he relatively greater than
that of the last census. One important feature
of the new census is to be an effort to ascer?
tain the indebtedness, not merely of Stare* and
municipalities, but also, approximately, of tho
people. Somo of the States have already en?
deavored to do this. Michigan, for example,
succeeded in obtaining the statistics <*f mort?
gages upon nearly six-tenths of the farms of
the State. It will not be possible, "f course,
to make an exact enumeration of all mortgSgCS
on real estate, nnd it seems to he well under?
stood that any effort to deal with this sui j*, ?
in an inquisitorial manner would arouse pop?
ular prejudice, and s.p damage Ibo entire cen?
sus; but no doubt much valuable information
can i e obtained upon which careful estimates
may be based, and thus much light will be
thrown npon a subject of vital inierest.
Mr. Cox made some striking deductions from
the statistical charts of Mi. Edward Atkinson,
which were presented to the- House and printed
in "The Roc,rd." Thev show a wonderful
national dovelopmeni and a still moro wonder?
ful field for ft, which i? still untouched. In
the fifteen years from lS7o |p, [888 OUT pop
nlgtion inereaaed 18 percent, the production
of .tain 86 percent, consumption of cotton 86
per cent, oonsumption of wot 1 88 p"r oent,
production of hay loo percent, productioB "f
i ?? ii D'S per cent, production of inm ll":
lier cent, and miles of railroad D.H per cent.
Yet the land in actual tis" af lins lime fer grow?
ing maize, wheat, hay. oafs ard eotton em?
braces emly 27-..'.oe' sijiiare' miles?but a little
moro than tho areal of Texas. The cotton
factories of tlie world COBSUme annually
12.OOO.ooo bales ,,f cot! n of American weight.
Allowing on*- bal.' to tb.- a. re. the WOrld'l sup?
ply of cotton could le grown on less than
1 0,000 square miles, or " per cent e,f the area
of Texas. The imagination falters in the
effort to conceive what our Twcnty-lirst Census
will show. _?

COLD IR Mien li; AS.
The* discovery of a vein of rich gold quartz
nt Ishpeming. Mich., may have important con?
sequences for that State, As *mall pock'is .,f
rich oro have been fennel on the same ground
during the last three y.-ar*. and as all of them
pinched our hofe.ro ge.ing far, a good deal more
ei.pL ration will have lo be d. before any
conclusion can b*- reached a* to the endurance
of th? vein. If, as reported, it widens as it
goes down, the Indication is promising, and the
oro body may prove to bo extensive. In au
entirely new field, however, B0th.Bg can be
taken for granted. All that is certain at pres?
ent is that there- arr- small lo.die* of paving ore
in tho Lake Superior region. The new lind
will justify a thorough e.\|il'.r:itieii. an.I wlo-n
the pie-sent ihafl at [ahpeming has been sunk
doable th*- present depth it will be tims enough
to talk about ih*- opening of a rival to lb*- <'om
stixk Lode. Se. far tlc one peculiarity noted
in ih*- Michigan oro vinni has been thur _**_?
pcrtsi-tcucc. This, of course, may le onlj a
surface charade! i*t ic The ground has only
Ipc.ii scratched, it is true. The shaft from
which the new oro body has been worked is
saul to ho only twenty-two feet deep. Put
while all tho developments aro so uncertain
th*' part eif wisdom is cautious treatment of tho
whole affair.
Should the* discovery pretvo to be important :
that is, should the new ore bodj prove to be a
(rue fissuie' y.-in and not merely a large pocket,
io. doubt mach excitement will be caused. Put
it ls evident tbat the character of the Michigan
gp'bl fields is not such as to warrant any pop?
ular iu*h BUCh as thediflOOVefJ of the California
placer mines canned. Only capital can develop
quarts mines, arni even capital is excluded when
the field has been covered with provisionary
titles in advance of the discovery. In Cal?
ifornia, indeed, land titles were ignored hy the
miners, who took up their claims anywhere and
everywhere. Put it is not probable that such
a Ooline would or could be followed in Michi?
gan, and lb*- foci that tin- latter mines are net
placers, and ate therefore n**t capable eif being
developed bj primitive methods, renders it still
more unlikely that any "Jumping" will ho at?
ti Dinted. Strong c orporations own the land for
miles around the bow mine, and the presump?
tion is thal they will take their time in opening
np th*- region, P-Obablj waiting until tbe l*!i
pemJng vin has been tested sufficiently to give
trastworthj indications for tho future. How?
ever rich the lode?if it is a lode?may prove to
be. the Mic lugan gobi mines do not promise
te* be what BN called "poor man's workings,''
but rather to resemble tho Comstock lode of
Nevada, where a i_rf.it ebal of BIOBOJ bad to be
put into the ground before any was taken out.
MORE WATER NBRDRi) IR RROOELTR.
The question to be considered, and, we trust,
Ratisfactorilj disposed <*f, by tho Brooklyn
Aldermen at their meeting to-day is a simple
one. It is also a familiar one, and no long
study is need"'*! to understand and appreciate
it. That BrookljB is in need of an increased
water supply is evident. Tho quantity daily
consumed is so near to the quantity supplied
that no ono can compare the two without a
feeling pif alarm at the imminen! possibility of
a water famine. This would mean universal
inconvenience, distress, and, doubtless, an ap?
palling amount of disease. Plans for the ex
t en si ..ii of the aqueduct were drawn during
Mayor Low's term, but no appropriation for
the work was made by the Common Council.
and consequently no contracts could be entered
into, if th*- work had been begun promptly
tbe present source "f danger would long since
have been removed. The need of decisive
action now is therefore apparent.
Put besides the moineotous question of ex?
tending the aqueduct to Maasapequa Pond,
tu*, other propositions are before the Board.
One of ihese is t" authorize thc* sinking e.f wells
on ground owned bj the city in order to obtain
an immediate supply to meet the city's needs;
Ile- ether is te direct the construction of two
new puraping-engines at the Ridgew.1 Water
Works. Both of these things are of unques
tioned Importance. Why there should be any
hesitatic n on tlie part of th" Aldermen it is
difficult to understand. The whole subject
ought tij be considered without any reference
to politics. That it will be there is not the
slightest ground for hope. The ALI innen of
Brooklyn BM ri"f that sort of men. The grav?
ity of the situation has been set forth in com?
munications t" the Common Council by the
present Mayor ami his predeci?r and bj thc ,
