’‘lt is said,” remarks a free*trade journal, “that Pierpont Morgan will 'consent' to a reduction of the tariff.” Probably he would. Pierpont Morgan was never anything but a strong Democrat and supporter of Mr. Cleveland so long as tariff reform was the Democratic shibboleth, and he is about the only man in the United States who made any money out of the ruin brought upon the country by the only tariff-reform adminie——3l' tration this generation baa experienced. Very probably he would “consent.”

Some Democratic papers make light of the story that J. Pierpont Morgan is preparing to take charge of the Democratic party. There would be nothing startling about that. It will be remembered that Mr. Morgan was pretty strong with a Democratic president seven or eight years ago. and was thus enabled to drive some pretty thrifty bond deals. The gentleman who was endorsed by the last Indiana Democratic state convention for national chairman recently attended a dinner in New York city, where this same president was the guest of honor and listened approvingly to a speech bv Mr. Cleveland in which he rebuked the Democratic party for having wandered after Mr- Bryan; free silver and other gaudy leaders and issues. The Democratic policy, if the gentlemen now in control of it in Indiana have their way, will not be objectionable in any particular to Mr. Morgan. Mr. Havemayer, Mr. Baer and other magnates who were good democrats so long as the party stuck to the doctrine that the way to destory the trusts was to destroy protection.
