A DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATE.

tfew York Sun. Is the Wilson bill foe-the con-. Stitutional Democratic tariff fat’ revenue only ? ‘ Not much'. Is it for & tafiff. foi/jdtdlciency only? Not precisely. .It will raise some revenue. Is it for a protective tariff? Well, a sort of protective 1 tariff; but a poor and cranky sort. McKinley’s is much . better much more rational, systematic; and just to all interests. Taking revenue and anthrevenue together, the Wilson bill is a fantastic and personal bill. It is a jumble of unconstitutionalities and favoritisme, compounded to gratify the more powerful applicants for license to rob, and to vindicate the hobbies of Grover Cleveland put on record previous to the Chicago platform. It is the greatest humbug or the age.
