There is no lack of advice for the Speaker from the munerona membera of his party who are wOUng to aeTve their country in h_8h aad maRoaaibla voaittotm. It ia tha ?--ier_J bolief at the capital now that Mr. Springer will bo made chairman of Ways and Means and Mr. Holman of Appropriations. ln connection with this it is of special intcreat to noto that tariff reform undor tho guiding hand of Springer will probably not take the form of a wholesale re pral of tho McKinley bill, but win include I BBtiea of bills to reinove tbat nieasure's mont ob jectionable features in Democratic eyes. Tbo mooting of dry-goods merchants yester? day will go a long way toward dissipating tho impression that New-York City is indifferont to Uio World's Fair. It was a repreisentative meet? ing. and the speechas and resolutions showed tliat this graat department of business is unmis takably iu ourncst. The purpose of the meeting was ^to indorse B bill which has been prepaied and will be laid before the Legialature. and to urgo its passage at an early day. The bill pro vides for Bfl appropriation of #500,000 to enable this State to mako a good showing at Chicago. Last spring an appropriation ol half thi.*** suro was proposed; but we piesume there will now be littlo objection to the larger amount. Why should not other linos of business join with tbe dry-goods men in soliciting liberal action on Uie ?Kiit of tho Legislature? THE NEW PROGRAMME. Tho Democratic programme is soraewhat cbanged since tlio " tidal wave" of 1890 swept the party into the oontrol of one house of Oon gress and the possession of increased power in several Statm That was heralded aa a Free Trade victory; as a poptrlar condemnation of the principlo of Frotei-rion ; as an indorsement of the AdministratioB of Grover Clevcland and a loud call for his renomination and ro-alection. All tho Mugwmnp Contingent and a great majority of the regnlar Democratic newspapera in the tountry so interpreted it, and with boisterous demonstrations of enthusiasm so bailed it. Thoy ?Bt up a * logic of tbo situatiou" on tho atrength of it which pjinted so unmistakably and abso lutely to the ehoice of Mr. Mills, tho great Froc Trad'e advocate, as Speaker, and the subsequent ronomination and re-election of Grover Clevc? land. the graat Free-Trade orac.lo, as Pretridcnt, that for a time both events appeared too ceitain to adniit of argument to tho eontrary. The business s-vemed already done. Congress was as good as iflBBBlWlfl with Mills ln the ohair and a revenuo taiill passed by tho House, and Cleve land as good as elected, with a policy in opera tiou that would preaently aboflish the BBaPBi OBflaOCO flOOBBI and usher in the beneticent in oomo tax. Bfll thei-e was another eleetion. And that elcction brouglit about another siuiatlon with a diflerent logic attached t? it. Out of that logic Mr. Crisp became Speaker. Then the Mugwmnp Contingent kicked; m\*V*t snlked: Grover Clevoland betook himself som'ewhorc to think it ovor, and tho programme of the party, not to say the whole order of nattiro, suffered a chango. There is not any Mills la tbe Speakcr's chair ; there will not be any Free Trade immedi atdy, and it lookl very much as if there would not'be any second term, or l-enomination eveii. of Grover'Cleve'and. Keason why ? Tho scaro of 1890 is over. A year'* experienco of the McKinley bill has brought general praqBuify iiistead of the lllMBlmi prodietod by calamity howlers. The moro dismot and shrowd of the DaBIOcralk managers had tho BBBBB to see that the tirfo had turned. and in the late eleetion were wi-* enoogh U> BTOld dboBsakMi of the tariff in most of the States. wheroby thoy sucoeeded la saving tlicinsclves from a sudden and com plete upso:. Where they kept up tho old Free Trado cry, as in Ohio. they were badly woi-stt'd. So with the opefldag <>f Congrew the programme is changed. The MugWIHUpa and Free Tradc-ra are sent to tlio back svats, and the practical poli ticians, who never lose sight of the main chanee, aro in c-nnmand. Tlieir programme now is to avoid flghting Ifl the open on any qucstion. Tho game will be not to commit themselves to any delinito Ihio of policv ou dUBM ihe tariff or silver coinage. In stead of a now Taritf bill, which last year they so lmidly and constantly BBaertBd their pfltpoat tvi bring in Bfld pa<s and go to tlie country upon in lsi'JL', they will con ten t themselves with nibbliflg at tba McKinley bill, peeking away at the details, making what capital they may by flault-tinding with its separato provisions, and prapoaing aflack rajaadlaa foi* such imperfections in it as they think they havo discovered. In brief, the new ptognuiuno is to do as little open, iqnara figb-Mag bb poaafbla, but to keep up aaort ol iniscellaneous skimiishing. and bend all their onergies to uianoeuvring for a position in 1H91!. The success of Tammany Ifl thi** State and in tho iBgaillialliai af the iloi\o has ostublished Tamni.my tncties as the rule of the party for iho Prosidontial campaign; and Tammany tac ties have always been contined to conducting rampaigtw by tricks and expedients insfead oi 9po9 piincipies and docfrines. What Tammany wants is not the triumph of any principlc-iti tmrm nothing for Free T/ado or Free- Silver? but simply power and plunder. It made the presunt Speaker; it controls the present House; it sits in tho saddle. Its programme is agrecd tip.m, and wo shall see wbether it can carry it out. THE ATTITVDE OF TIIE STATE DEMO? CRATIC PRESS. Is it possible that thero aro no Democratic naanpapan in this Stato indej-endent enough to NBBBI David B. Hlll'fl refusal to take his scat in tho F nited States Senate BB a gross betrayal of I great public trust? When ilill was elected" 9-naaw laaa Jaaa-rj "Tho Nehr-Taak World,-' ?' Tho Huffalo Courier," "The Kochester Union," "The Albany Times" and other leading ex poiNflta of New-York Dcmoeracy took the ground that it would not bo improper for him to retain tho liovcriiorship until the opening of Congless. Hut not one of them went furtber than that. Not one of thom in3intained that he would be justitied la failing entinely to ronder the peopile of New-Vork any sc*ivite whatsoever in tbe 1'iiitod States Senate for a month aftor Con gnaa had convened. " Ile ought to remain Gov? ernor," said " The World," " until his duties as Senator requiro his ptflBBflPB elsewhere." If Uiat BBBBBi anything, it moant that as " The World" looked at it he ought not, to remain (iovernor alter his dutias as QpflllOf ro<iiiired his presence at Washington. And so hold tho other Demo? cratic papens to which wc have refcrred. What do they say now? Do thfy or do they not ap prove of the course whieh Hill pumues in re maining at Albany, leaving this great Common wealth with only a singlo representative iu thc. Fnited States Senate? Do thoy or do they not think that he is setting a good example as a public ofllcial ? On the 29th of 3ast January "The NVw-Yorlc Sun" exftrossod itseif as follows : y (Iovernor lllll should aet a- both Sonntor ftn-1 Oov rmor ufter the 4tli ol Mwcli next, or 11 he should JioHl Baal offlcca i?t once, he Blll thereby render him ?elf uuavallahle nnd itnjir.o ticuhle as _ candidute Lt preKident A littlo later * The Sun'^^marked that * the Governor ia confionted by the broad, plain Dem? ocratic principlo tha-t a man ahall not hold two public Obbbbb* of a politieal nature at one and thc saiiifT time." How doca it strike our neighbor now ? Is it of tbe opinion that Hill, having held on to the Governorahip and the Senatorahip not only after the 4th of March but after the open iiuc o| CoBBiejaa ia Deceaabex, ia "uBaraaable and impracticable aa a candidate for President"".' Ia it still of the opinion that " it is a broad, plain Democratic piinciplo that a man shall not hold two public oflhcea of a political nature at one and the same time"? Theie are salient qnesliina. They relate to a point of general public ciicein. Foople with old-fashioned idens of propriety look EBOB HflTl emduct as scandalous in the la**t dcgreo. Aro the DemocrStic nowsjiapeis afrsid t.i put thom aelves on record ono way or the othcr'.' Most of them pretcni! to hate monopolies with a per foct hatred. Are they going lo BflBdOM this unparallelwl monopoly at th' cxpense of tho public servioe of whieh Hill is guilty'. LIGHT FROM TIIE WBBT INDIES. The justice of the American demand foi __8d* procit.v is cloaily deniuiisi.rated in MV fltfl-f OOflfR .pond'ence from tho LflfBBli Islands. TnB l'nited States takes 7!? and England !? l>er cent of tho total exports of that p .11 p. ln return tho Fnitcd States supplieis :i:i and England IS |#r oent of the total itniK.rts. This restilt is lar'.ely produced by a tariff system whieh raeilitatOH by low duties the intiodiietion of English inanufa.t ures, and rerrtrict.. by high duties ihe iin'Hitta tion of American food produets. This is shown by tho table furnished by onr correspondent, in w'hich the aventgo rate or duty on imports from tho Uattfld States i* .35 1-2 in coinpafison with .OH, the averago rate on English imporV*. Tho free ILst, moreover, favois English against Aim*i. can imports in tho proportton of 10 to 1 ; nnd tho *ctistoms i.venues are largely diawn from the food productvhipp^J l-Oflfl thc Fnitcl States. The samo principlcs apply to tho entii" groiip of the Hritish West Indies, from uhich England buys 40jper cent, and sells in return (.'? jrr ent, wh'ilo tho l'nited States buys _:**. per .ent and sells 32 per cent, The tariffs of -these islands are vitlually de* viscd by tho liritish (lovornors sent out to nilo ovor them and to mako them .0 far as possible self-supijorting. They nocompli.sh their pur? pose. not as Spain has done In Cul a l.y having a nominal tariff on her own moiclrindiso and an exorbitant one on tho same. Hassos of exports from tho l'nited States, but by pntting a very low rato or nono at. all on everythmg whit h Eng? land ,can supply, and a xcrx high one on every thing whieh the l'nited States alone CRR furnish. There is no direct flUuilRlRflHoR in favor" of England in duties 011 the BHR6 olfflR, bnl thero is lan indirect and polent advantage in thfl classification of nifitoms so as to plaee the bnr dens of taxation upon American food supplies. While English cottons aro -aibject to a duty of 8 ,per cont, American Hour ia liable to a duty of 23 )*er cent. English nianiifaciiiies aro favoi.nl in this way and export* from tho l'nited States are kept down. At tho samo time England buys the smaller and tho I'nitod States the larger porcentugo of what tho islands have to sell. Thls is on its face an inequitable conilitiui of trade. Tho United States In furnishing a ErRfl market br the bulk of tho produce of the Hritish Wivst Indies has a right to demand that its ,,wn exports shall bo adniittc.. 011 a lovel with tho 8 per cent schodules rather than suhjectod to 35 per cent dutios. The Redpiocity eonventions whieh RSTfl boem negotiate.l at Washington with the British anffll islands will have tho general effect. not only of increasing American exports in return for tho freo market for sugar. but also of cheaponing *he food snpplies of the black populaii.-n. ln that WE* the Ciiited States will acumplish for tho islaiids what English QoYRmOlfl "ith -belt low tariffs on cottons and their high tRtifffl 011 flour havo not done. England's Fre. -Trade pol? icy is supposed to bo based 011 ehflRR supplios of f.iod for honio consumption. That dees well enough when her own peoplo aie coiicerned: bul when her (lovernors aiv placed iu charge of her oolonies they contrivo to lower the tariffs on overything RrtUffc can bo mannfactiirVd in Eng? land aiul t> IRlflfl the duUes on Aniciican food snpplics. English polfej brohrflfl C8B8P food at home and dear food in her colmiics. Apparently what. is good for her OOfl-REflBRflfl will also be good for the impoveri.liod black population of tho islands. J.eciprocity an offered by the fl-TORfest Protection country in the world will lower tho cost of living in tho West Indies and bfl a great gain to tho colooifltfl, wh088 LoteRflBRj have been saoritiod to those of English inanufa. tuiers. It may bo objected that the EngUab (.overnors cannot bo blamed lot iRd-flectlj piO-BCtfag, as they do, home manufaetures. __R88 that, is tho effect of the American tariff system. Well, that does not impnso upon tho l'nited BtatBfl any obligation to sacritico the totflrafltfl of ils ezpoii trade and tho'ie of the consiinieis OH the islands. English inauu.actur.-s will have tfl tako carc of themselvos. The islands havo been govein-'d too long at tho cxpense of j.mericaii Riportflfl and their own jieopln. Tho l'nited BtRtflfl offfln them a large 8-888818 of PieO Trade, and insists upon their paying for the privileges of its mar kots. When taey make tho 00O0C?tom wliich aro rcquired, they will havo wh:U Engiand now ll? llKB|l fi^.d: and if their revenues ai*e seii 008-7 diniinished, tlu-y can reu'ljust tho S jx*r cont pchedules 011 English nianufactui-s. TIIE GROWTH OF TWO 8ECTI0K8.

For some yoai-s tlie gi.wth at thc South was indeed wondeiful, and to all suucie loveis of the tsmntiy jveculiaily gratifying. Hut a ]>art of it was too much on old lines to bfl <piito heallhy. and the imwiiH.s of too RflfTOW dcvel-ip inent llld too littlo divcisilication of fa_d__trj are beginiiing to apjiear. ITins it was notic*i-d not long ago ti.at B.li"in trado this ye^tr wa-. alnji.t 7 per cent smallcr thiui a year ago, while Western trade was fully as much laiger tl.an a yoar ago. The spleiidhl piogress of tho Soutii in inaniifactiiie was un fortunately groiinded in 100 many oRflflB OR I88J estato six*ciilations, rather than ii],on sound e>U mates of tihe cost of pflOChld-OB and the il"inand for pi*oduetH. llence 80888 BflflR-MflR works Bflfl forc*d to soek Kal(^ of their ptadRCitl at far-away markets in tho N'oith and at disheaiteningly low B-MflB| and tho eataljlishnieni of further flRBBfl hy whieh rho mateiial sujipliod miyhf bfl turn".! into forms for Southern itnisumpii ,11 is still de laycd. In thin lespeet Uie growth of the South has lieon l??s solid and b_B8d apoa fl Iflflfl sttict regard for pmlits attaniable in tbfl BRfl-flRBfl than Uie development in Northern Stato. whieh has been even greiter during R__>_R-RA time. With one or two great staplcw of agri.ulture and indelinite increaso in their production the South has found that tho pricos of tlieso can be depressed close to or even below the cost of pro duction. llius the lat>-.t oflicial report of tlio Agricultural Dopartment hlu.iN>. that the valuo of cotton jh_t bale wlicn sold 011 Southern planla tiota. is about $6 fio leas tlian a vejir ago, the price beinR abont $36 50, against $13 j-or bale. If the yifild in both yeara had been the aame, tlie differonoe ia frioa aiana would repreaent a loaa of about ?!5?,000,000 to tho Southorn producew, but in fact thov havo alao a smaller yield at tho tjawtx prioc.

The short mwi of crop is to somo a mi-fortunc, |?it lha plantitiR far in excoss of tho world's ro ?piiroments WB8 r;ith<*r the result of dofective tefcrnatfafl and judgment, and c-spocially ofT-he (,!.| t ndcncy to devote too much time and labor tn a'siiij-lobranch of production. Tho fanners of tho Northwest. if they lose much of one crop, have others to fall bark upon, and probably realized a year ago by tthe markoiing of unusual BVatban Ol cattle and bogs a great part of their loa l.v wintcr-killing of wheat and dcstruction of corn by diouth. ThU year they have excep ti.n.il ullBlllBflJBB, for largo crops are sustained in prico by unusual foroign demand, so that the IgriaaHnial r?*port for December indicates that thc aggragBBB value of wheat. oorn and oats on tho farins ia probably groater by $300,000,000 ur more than tho farm valuo of tho same crops last, year. This is in part because tho West haa been rapidly and vigoronsly developing manufactures, and Bai tliose which depend upon distant BBBF knts in other State*, but those which suppiy tho noeds of tho Western people. New woollen and bo.it and shoe cstablishments. mills fur tho man nfachire of fl:ix goods. and the production of tin plates and glass, new furniturcTand catriage and agricultural implemont works, already make their competitiin felt, reducing to some extont the B/eB8ecfl demand for such products from other IBgioflB. Tho South BBB done much in the establishment of cotton mills and iron works. but both have been derelopcd Ofl RMh lincs that they tk'p.nid aa yet too largoly upon distant Northern markets.

Aecording to tbo reports which have just come to hand. the troops exhaustcd tlieir stork of atuuitinitiou within tl.c lirst ten ininutcs after jroing into action -this too, in.twifhstunding thc lact that thev now early almost daflbla tlieir lormer BBBBtB of cart rtdfaa They were practieallv pheed hors de com bat and rendered defenceless at the couimence ment of tlie battle, and bad thc wurfare been real laaBMBl ol sliam, they would have expotBd thcni selves to atiuihilation by tlie cavalry. In all the recent wurs cxperience has shown that one ol thc chief diilicultles of the oflieers is to prcvent their meu froin wasting tlieir aniniunition. This is cspecially the case where tho troops are young Bfld unseasoned. In the cx citcuieut ol the battle they lose their hcads, and not only lirc far too qaleb-f and too reclclessJ.v, but fiC'Uently also without tukiiiu time to put thc gun to their sliotilder for the purpose of taklnz uiui. This cvil is inereased tenlold by thc adup tion of the new repcating rifles. which pcrinit a man to fire at least ten times fuster than with the old weapoiis. Nor is Ihere uny remedy avail ablc. for tins state of allaii- so long as the syst.'ui of short-t.rm servicc iu use in thc arniies of tlie old world involvea tlieir being compoM'd of yottii!,' und tinseas'inod soldiers. Another dlsadraataga ef the new rifles appcara to have been found in tlie hcuting of the barrels caused by* thc rapid liring. Even with the old t iiis-cpot in the war of 1870, the French troops were frc.'uently forced to sus|iend their llre iu tlie middle of an action in order to allow time lor tlieir barrels to cool wii. lt is ditlicult to conrelve how the European tiovernments will solve tlie dlllleulty with which they have uow been hrought lace to lace.

Indeed, tlie teudency of national ************** is in the direction of even short*r serviee with tlie colors than at present. The .iiiestioiij however ia a vital one utul .leman.ls tt protnpt solution, for it ia bf re serviti^' its fire until tlie most critieal moment that tlie infautry has won some of the niost deaperately ?JOBltMlid battles in history, notably Waterloo.
