THE REFORM" PRESIDENT HAS NOT MET THEIR
EXPEcTATIoNs-THE TARIFF SHOULD BE
ADJUSTED BY ITS FRIENDS


James L. Trrslow, whose opinion The issues
of the campaign is subjolned the proprietor OF the
extensive cork factory which extends from Nos. ZOO
to Old Plymouth-st, Brooklyn, and the senior mem
Der Of the firm of J. L. Truslow q Co. He has DO
voted many of the best years OF his life TO extending
and developing his present business, which gives en-
ployment TO nearly 200 persons. HIS homo Is In
the Ninth Ward in delightful part of ST. Marks-ave'
Mr. Tiusow is director IN several OF broodyhs
substantial financial institutions and is moro pronl-
nently known in the philsnhopic circles OF inc CITY
than In the wh OF It's social life. His brother' Johi'
Tr,sow the former president of the Board OF AS
SEES sors has always been active participant ID inc
best phase of municipal politics Ho said: Il am
not much of o believer in the efficiency or influence
Of opinions expressed by men like myself In the
private walks of life who are unknown 10 the pubic
at large / do not think their effect Is very great
and for that reason am loath to appear In PRINT.
have no other reason, however, for concealhg my
political belief which is known only to my iminc-
date circle of friends 1t is true that did not sup
port the Presidential candidate of the Republican
marty four years ago and that shall vote for Har
rson and Morton this time. / have carefuiiy "acheu
the course of both parties IN this campaign, and nave
determined to cast my vote that way after carc1ui
and deliberate reflection. ! do so because thhh
the business interests of the country require It, and
that the present position of affairs is one OF great
gravity feel very sure that tariff legislation Will
DO safer in the hands of the party which has IN
augurated and maintained the present system than
in the hands of those who have lately taken hod Oh
IT, We shall DO safe from any such wienches ana
violent disturbance to existing interests az the Ms
bill would thrust upon While do not deny that
am believer in tariff revision. do not believe In
taking such leap that cannot tell precisely "here
we are going TO land somewhat pre1udlced
against the Republican platform at first, because
took IL to mean that there was nothing TO be done
in the way of correcting the inconeruities OF ohc
present tariff But the framing of the Senate Dill
which is NOT yet fnality, shows that there Is every
disposition 10 readiust matters in harmony with the
progress and present state OF the industrial Interests
of the country after they have been Accorded the
fullest and freest opportunity TO have a hearing.
To my mind the two bills excmplify the tendency
and purpose the parties cOntendlns iof the
control of the Government. The Republicans In tneii
tarn revision carefully preserve the principle OF Pro
lection to our manufactures while the Mills bill takes
a long step in the direction OF tarlH levied OK
clusivcly for revenue II not dangerously damaging
I'm itself fear II VIII lead to other legislation which
Will be. Anyhow, it appears 20 me that the business
Interest Us of the country have adapted themselves 10
The present tariff and that arc doing better under
II than at any other time In our commercial history
that can recall" -, - -.
James l.. Iruslow tr, who Is one Of the large host
Of new friends BENJAMIN Harrison has made In this
campaign very pointe.ily said 4" voted for Cleve,

changed my views I'm the course of my active par
ticipation in the affairs Of life. do not Ike tho
Mills bill. 1t squlnts in the wrong direction
