TARIFF REFORM.

The w ashingson correspondent of
the New York Daily Bulletin, refer
ring to the different questions before
Congess, says: 'at
"The Tarif question will be agitated
| right away, but will probably linger along
till next May before anything Is done.
Some kind of a bill Will be apt TO pass.
at the threshold Of the Capitol tcith
such a determination 10 remodel the tdffG.
The Western Congressman say their. peo-
pie demand 1t, and are determined to have
It.. They say they do not expect Co get q
consistent revision, because they must
yield to some interests, as has always been
done In revising our patchwork tarfh: But
they say the democracy is pledged 70 a
ed to make one. believing that where they
lose an Eastern Democrat, when 1t comes
TO voting, they will get the support OF
Western free trade Republican IN his
place."
Mr.. Copeland is one of the best in
formed of his class. Itwould be well
for the ultra Protectionists to real
ize the fact that the tariff is to be
changed and remodelled. At the
present time the free traders, under
the lead of the Hon. David A. Wells,
are reasonable and moderate, but
earnest opposition and any attempts
to show that cheap raw materials will
not cheaper the cost Of goods and so
assist manufacturers to secure an ex-
port trade will be likely to promote
an ultra change in the tariff. Already
we are told that the wool tariff, which
inficts an enormous tax on the raw
material, is 'sthe key to the protec-
i've system" So, we shall be told,
is the duty on copper and other raw
materials. The key to the protec-
tive system must lie in the necessi-
ties of the times. Ultra protection
has been outgrown. Manufacturers
are seeking foreign markets. With
out them, factories must be closed.
The production is greatly ahead of the
demand The relief must come from
foreign markets. These latter can
only be secured by American man
ufacturers being able to turn out
goods as cheaply as the foreigner. A
tax on the raw material is tax up
on the goods. Cheap raw materials
are indispensable. And the little
that is now being accomplished in
the matter of an export trade is only
a powerful indication of what might
be done with tariff arranged to IA
cilitate the same.
