A REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

We are well aware that but tew person who
know any thing about the economy of govern
ment, give the slightest credence 10 the asser-
ton that the present striugrncy in money ma /
tiers is attributable 20 the want OF high tariff
and, therefore, we do not intend, IN thlS article,
TO attempt to argue the question whether, or
not, that assertion is well-iounded. We know
that the men who preach that doctrine, aft
consummate hypoctltes, as ihslrs o~a poaItlea
records prove thar r movement can never be
natIonalIzed, that the Interests OF three-fourths
OF the Southern States, OF the whole OF the t.reat
West, auI fall the New England States stand
IN direct antagonism to that movement, aud
that, consequently, the theory Of the "Protpc-
tlonsts" can never BE- made plank in the plat
form OF any National Party. Were it our pur-
pose TO deny and dlsproye the doctrine that The
"hard times have been caused by low Tar
if, We would simply refer the gentlemen who
proU.ulge that doctrine, to the fact that the
"hard LINES" are moi confined 10 this country
alone, but that there is the same financial dis
tress IN foreign countries, w5ic5, accordiny 10
the Protecfioaias, reap such jaeaicutaJie bene-
fits from our loW TariF; We would tell them

establishment of numerous worthless banks
which flooded the country with their issues.
inducing the blndest and most infatuated specu-
ia'lon, from which resulted the great crisis that
last year closed nearly every bank in the L.
mon, and Prostrated the business Of the coun-

shall content ourselves with merely giving
our honest conviction as TO the kind Of Tariff
which the present condition Of cur couatry de-

Of The Democratic Tariff Of 1916. Let the
Black Republican Tariff, which has been in
