'Che Conservative * , u
those who are best able to make their
claims good , by sturdy begging. As in
other cases where a supply arises to
meet a demand , the people who have
the strongest interest in convincing our
statesmen that they want protection ,
are the people who will convince , and
have it granted to them accordingly.
Though claimed as a particular boon to
the workingmau , the benefits of the
system go in practice , usually , to those
who are most able to combine and
maintain a skilled and active lobby ;
and this is the field in which the trusts
are most at home , one especially adapted
for the sugar trust-to cultivate. The
law of supply and demand , by which so
many human concerns are ruled , is
always in force here. This is seen
when the passage of a general pension
law , is speedily followed by the discov
ery of countless claimants on the public
bounty of whom the public was before
unaware , and as clearly when the pre
paration of a tariff bill inevitably calls
together a predatory band of lobbyists ,
whose work gives a distinctive charac
ter to the whole tariff. That all pro
visions affecting sugar , therefore , should
have been adjusted to please the sugar
men , was as natural and logical a result
of the conditions , as that every provis
ion , relating to wood' screws , tinned
plates , and what not , should have been
calculated to deliver the people into the
hands of their producers. If the consequence
quence is , in this instance , a retaliatory
edict from a foreign government , or in
some other instance , the publication of
a fresh example of the old habit of
our tariff beneficiaries , that of selling
their wares to foreign customers for but
a fraction of what they exact from fel
low-citizens , we hear much of protec
tion as being "abused" in these cases.
Where no occurrence of the kind comes
to light , or where , on coming to light ,
its true character can be successfully
denied or disguised , we hear nothing
but the loudly advertised "beneficent
working of the system. " But , like
* " * systems in general , that system is of a
piece , in all its parts.
Evils should not be denounced only ;
they should be cured. But there is no
cure for the protective evil , which is at
this moment in our power to apply.
We can only prepare to cure it , by
making its true character known to all
men , so far as lies in our power. En
lightenment is what our people call
for ; they may be safely trusted to act
wisely when their minds are cleared of
the sophistry , with which the members
and vassals and allies of the trusts are
befogging them. For some years past ,
it has been necessary to commit our
government to the high tariff party ,
because the only alternative , in sight ,
\ f " was a party that had formally pro-
' "
' /vj nounoed for repudiation of public and
private indebtedness. When this
dreary choice of evils no more confronts
* ' J > r
us ; whoii wo cau strike , at the same
time , for an honest discharge of the
country's obligations , and for an honest
conduct of the country's finances , then
let us strike , strike with our whole
heart and with our whole strength.

KIND WORDS.
J. Sterling Morton has this week
issued an enlarged edition of his paper
in commemoration of Arbor day , which
will come on the 22nd. The edition is
full of tree lore of great interest. As is
generally known , Arbor day is Editor
Morton's birthday anniversary , which
reminds us that while he has beou ter
ritorial governor of Nebraska , and a
member of a president's cabinet , long
after these things are forgotten , the
foliage of trees growing on a previously
treeless plain , will whisper his name hi
their benedictions upon a happy people.
That is to say , it is bettor , far , to be
founder of Arbor day than to sit in the
seats of the mighty. Fremont Tribune.
