GIVE TIE REMEDY TIME.

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party was beaten by passing
the Tariff bill at Just exactly the wrong time be- auso
the first effect Of protective tariff is to slightly raise
the price Of the protected article by the duty IMPOSED
TO restrict the importation Of the pauper productions
Of subject labor, and thus give this country chance
to develop industry, create home markets and pay
fair wages. OF course, all this takes time The mis-
fortune prices increased just before the cleo
ton. and, presto! it converted every merchant and
clerk of every party, willing not into free.rade
apostle by saying the tariff raised prices and gave
every Democratic spouter throughout the Nation tho
Same plausible pretext. Is it any wonder we werc
beatepl The voter, poor DEVIL was told the tariff
raised prices and so voted against the tariff Happily
the Democratic House can't repeal tho Tariff law until
II has had time to work out its own salvation and
the people can enjoy its beneficial results.
With a free and fair election guaranteed to every
state political bosssm eradicated and the protective
tariff allowed time to accomplish trumphantly It's
saluary mission, the Republican party can well afford
