M'KINLEY's MoNsrRoslrY.

Chairman MCKINLEY has succeeded
in getting his tariff monstrosity before
congress, and now we want to see in
what sort of shape it will be when it
comes out, if it ever does come out.
We have not the remotest idea that the
bill, or a substitute for it, will be passed
by this congress. The monopOlies are
content to let we'll enough alone, and
being entirely satisfied with existing
tariff laws, they will make no strenuous
effort to pass the MCKINLEY bill, al
though it suits the monopoies in some
particulars better than the present law.
Still great deal of time will be con-
Sumed in discussing the measure, op-
portunity will be afforded the Republic
can members to offer amendments that
will meet the wishes of their particular
constituencies, nd thus an effort will
be made to harmonize conflicting Re-
publican sentiment and yet not dis
turb the protection principle particle.
Therefore, the main value OF the Nc
KINLEY bill is that it is to be accepted
as fair Interpretation of Republican
doctrine respecting tariff reform. The
bill is an elaboration of the MCKINLEY
plank in the Chicago platform, which
declared for ''the American system of
protection" without any ''ifs" or
''buts' about it. Like the foundation
upon which it rests, there is not
shadow, or even suspicion, of tariff re-
form associated with it. On the con-
trary it embodes the boldest and most
aggressive form of protection, framed
in the interest of the protected monop-
oles and without desire or purpose to
relieve the consumer. In that respect,
at least, the bill is honest politics, for it
proposes to do just what the RepubIi-
can platform pledged the party to.
But it is not honest politics to put this
bill before congress without the inten-
ton of passing it, but simply to let
the individual Republican members
have chance to propose amend
ments which will square them with
their constituents. For instance, the
Minnesota delegates will be ready
when the time comes with amend
ments embodying tariff reform as
it is understood in Minnesota. They
will be allowed to air themselves in the
Congressional Record, and then they
will come back home saying that if tar
iff reform was not accomplished they
are not responsible for it.
In adopting this policy the Republi-
can leaders are presuming great deal
on lack of intelligence among the ag-
ricultural classes. They take it for
granted that the farmers are too ig-
norant to detect the trick that is being
played. In this they will possibly find
themselves miSta ken.
If the Minnesota representatives have
any heart in the tariff reform cause
they will not waste their time or mis-
direct their energies by proposing
amendments to the MCKINLEY mon
strosity, but will go straight about

In the East and South, where people

The Republican Standard.

Boston Herald.
The GOODNESS with which bald parti-
sanship is avowed as the motive for the
admission of new states into the Union
by the present congress would be amaz-
ing, if anything in politics could amaze
in these days. Here is the veteran
Washington correspondent of Boston
contemporary writing home that mis-
take is in danger of being made in the
admission of Wyoming. For what rea-
son, is it supposed? Because the terri
tory is sparse in population, or has a
lack of resources which fit it for state
hood? These points might well be sug-
gested, and they are such that might
naturally occur to the mind of writer
who even protested to treat the subject
with view to the public welfare. They
are not once mentioned by this writer.
The mistake suggested by him is
solely that Wyoming may elect Demo-
Gratis to congress. And ours is an era of
alleged craftsmanship!

it is natural that the 20" should have

much dissatisfaction. No general

of two rate cutting roads can get
more business than a road of

coarse grain the Chicago, st. Paul
