Where they have attempted to be upeoiflo, in almost every aase they have suffered inglorious defeat. A clear illnstration ot this fact hna recently be so demonstrated in the Tribune. Thnt j'inrQiil some tiioa interviews Norton Jlrothera, ot Ohiodgo, iu raltitiou to the replication thtit ooncera ia making to mnnufaoture tin It evidently roported them fairly the in- tervieirahowed thut Norton Bros, were preparing, under the protection ot Lhfl new tnr)ft law, to nmnnfaeturu tin plate, Thn fnuta evideatly did not suit the 1 ri- Imnt.

Tli-iy grated harshly upon its BB- coQceruing the new law. It tiolicvoil itaolt to the emergency, acd oue week Inter thd free trade editor jumped upon Norton roe, mercilessly in an editorial bended, "The Chicago Tin Plate Humbag." The concern wne held up in well rounded periods us bnmSag, and the idea that under any conditions tin plate could be mnna- fantared in this country without taxing the people above the benefits which might be derived ww aneered at until you oonld almost hear the seponts hies. The poultry, however, Cfttne Lome to Trouble at once begnn and the Triuunf, moat humbly published a card from Norton Brothers which showed its editorial to be untrue and designing in every material part. In their card this firm declares that it is not in the business and doee not make its statements tor political purpofwe; that I ha statement that it bad imported Welsh laborers to manufacture tin plate ie untrue; that while it ia true that tbe block eteel sheets it oses to make experimental plate are importtd it is a'eo true that it has nearly Gniabcd inKimpteLHSiemitcesteel furnace and roHios mil), IOCK tbo duty on tin becomes operative, will ont, nil tun black ut(ol ebtcty tbo tt'in CUD tutiruly ftotii Ami-riijHn tlliiti-riulH. Tin nlso Buy tli it witliiu tbros or five nt matt, in 'heir opinion, Amorionn tattdo tin p'lite ivill bo Eollittg here for lees tliim nlnto of the flume quality has ever beon sold In answer to tlis Tribune's thil they had advanced the puce of tin cans on account of the MsKioloy bill, they any thut since July that grndeof tin plate line advanced in England one do'lur a box, without reference to the tariff, and the advance is the aame and that on account ot a similar advance in the full of 1897, in 1838 they aold onns at 92 30 per dozen and that now the; wonkl like to sell the Tribune, or any ct its readers, the aame cane for 82 per hand red, They regret that the Tribune should thiak it nccpBiory to stigmatize their bawoeee ae a humbug and say that they have not built up their business on that basis nnd have made no misrepresentations to the public in regard to the manufacture of tin plate.

Tbe unwarranted statements of tbe Trilnnve regarding the business of this firm is another evidence of tbe tact, which the people nre fast discovering, namely, tbiit theory, like that o( free trade, which moat be supported by lying, is worthy ot no man's favor.

Tbo Rtview tanntinaty waives in or. su i turn from tbe pen at Ralph Wu do Bin reoTi, which it says has been ing theruQodeot tbepreea. It has dcnbt been going on schedule time i the Democratic press and when we coi aider tbe awkwardness ot the item an the use which has been mode of it cannot help believing that its pnbHoetio is a slander npon Emerson.

FoUowin ie tbe meat ot tbe item: It the Creator bw made oranges, and pineapple in Oaoa and refuses thei in Uassaobueetts, cannot see why should put a fine on tbe Cubans for brin( ing tliem to as--a Sae so Heavy to er able htaeaachuaette men to bniid costl pulm honaes and glass conservatories nt der which to coax tbees poor plants ripen noder our hard skies and thus die courage the poor planter from sendin, them to gladden the very cottage teH We punish the planter there and we pnr ish the coneiimor here tor adding thea benenta to life, If Mr. Emorson wrote tbe above itet for nn argument nsaiast a protective tai iff he mtgbt biva better dt-vote his days to the clogaics and let th qneetion of poliiicnl economy alone, I reply to the Review's injury, which to lowed the quotation, whether tbe REPOT LIOAH beliuves that Mr. Emerson wa bought up by Britieb gold, we onswe thut the dosciples of Oobden would spur such nn nrgnment with contempt an oven tha Review, hud it given the iter uny consideration, would not have give it room in its columns, berauEe fits an at gumentiu favor ot the Review's fre trade theotiee, it 19 a boomerang of tb mast accurate kind. Mr. Emerson's argument plain air simple is this: Products which God ho not mode indigenotte to this climate an which are indigenous to another countr) should not be taxed when our people eire to avail themselves ot the useot sue prod note.

Tbe re is no cities ot people i England or the (Jailed States which be lievethat such products should be mad dutiable, but tbe tariff-tor-revenue onl class, to which the Review belong! That class at political economists sa they favor a duty on imports in enah way as to yield only enough revenue defray the eipensesot Government ecc nomicolly administered. This leads ically to the oonolasion accepted by Itf tradd tariff leailera, that duties shoali Inrgely be laid upon each articles us ar not prodoo.d in this country ia oorapet iuTM quantities, because that will prodac most rev, aue tt to thut eysteu vbi'ih if bo wrote the in ut liibntc.d t'j Lien, ajsteu cs protaotion, because protection 1 ocoaeieteDt with boor its btsloogini to it. The jirotectionist, except ul wn or where txtrnordjLiiry espeoilituwe raonpy is necessury, laya adnly only 01 such imports tbe like of which ou people can prodoce ID such quantities a wilt Cully or largely supply the ctemond ot the country for such articles. Tb protectionist levies no duty on pineapple coffee, tea and such pro acts its Ememoi SEIJS God lias discriminated agninstnaon England's economic system ia a tariff-tot revenue-only theory. It taies coffee, ten angnr and snob products which are large ly consumed and not produced by he people.

Such a duty is a tux. Th amount of the duty is added lo tbe coe of the article, The economic (jetem ot the Ssates is protection--the levying duties on foreign imports to protect ou own industries, Tbe competition begol ten at home by building up diversifie industries and also the competition our own manufactures with those other conn tries tendsto thereduotion prices bnd by such reduction, the tari) censes to operate as a tax. In view of (hese facts, we repeat if En- ergon wrote wtint tbe Beview attribute to uim, as an argument sgaioet proteclio he wag "off'' OQ the subject ot polit cal economy and the Btiiiie-tv had bette be more careful in its selection ot argr ments.) No, we don't think tile Cobde people hired Emerson with BritUh gol to make nn orgumeet against tlaeir ow system of economics. SENATOR QUAY, who defeated tbe ele lion bill last summer, bus now comet the front with Federal Election which in many respcte ia stronger tha the original bill. It provides for the BUI pension of the writ habeas corpus an to employ the armed force of the natioi when the law cannot be otherwise et forced, This looks well on paper an has a good ring to it, but its introductio at this time by Senator Quay reminds i ot the fellow who wanted to put up money in winter on his ability as a ha vest Ennd.
