The ownership of land has for centuries In England been the foundation of social standing and political influence. Whatever Is done to encourage subdivision, therefore, is a blow at the aristocratic basis of society and hem the fear of an entirely new civilization if the Lloyd George ideas prevail. The opposition rests partly en selfishness, partly on disinterested reasoning, but more than either on conservative instinct, which 19 alarmed whenever change promisee to be sudden and subversive of the accustomed world. It was a long time ago that Aristotle described as Illegitimate those governments which are founded on the authority of a class and carried on to promote the Interests of that class. A large part of England today thinks she has had too mueh government by and for a landed aristocracy.

Mr. Balfour proposes to resort to tariffs rather than to allow direct taxation of so disagreeable a sort. Indirect taxation falls principally on the poor; so, says the aristocrat, let us raise all our money in that way. -Collier's Magazine. Sale bills printed promptly.

A Chance for the Democrats Dull and confused, most tariff discussion repels the reader. The "American Magazine" for October Is worth noting. It contains an editorial utter ance on the new schedules, so human, so simple and impassioned, that any woman can have ber understanding seized and her interest aroused, as if, in returning to her house, she should discover that ten dollars had been abstracted from her purse. In the "At' lantic Monthly" for October she will iiud the opposite view stated with penetration, intelligence, and moderation; and no better exercise in tariff thought is easily accessible than a comparison of the opinions of Miss Tarbell with those of Mr. McCall.

It is probable that whatever virtues may ultimately be attributed by the country to the Payne bill will lead the consuming public to ask for more concessions. Therefore the Democrats ought to have a chance to win the next election if they for once show wisdom in candidate and platform. Suppose they selected, not a politician, but a man who was known for disinterestedness of life, business success, a tteady support of good causes, calm and sure judgment, knowledge of important and lifelong study of the tariff, with bold and distinct views about it such a man, in short, as the present Minister to China; they might give to the country a real contest, new confidence, and a victory.
