The passage Of the Mckinley Tariff
BIZ on Wednesday can be very prop
erly considered the most important
niece Of legislative work accomplished
at this session OF Congress, and redeems
the pledge made by the Republicans TO
the people Of this country in 1888. So
lar as the passage of the bill indicates
the character of Mr.. McKinley's lead
ership, it can be truthfully said that the
uncommOnly full vote-more than three
hundred members out of a total mem
befship of three hundred and twenty
nine recording their votes and giving
it majority of twenty -nine-demon-
strates his skill as a parliamentary
leader. Doubtless the Senate may mod
liz some Of the provisions OF the bill,
but It is fair to presume that it will
finally pass the scrutiny of that body
substantially as it has left the House.
Whatever may be the deficiencies OF
the bill as II has just passed the House,
the one great merit OF it is, as
well stated by contemporary, the fact
that it IS a revision of the Tariff by
COMMITTEES of Ways and Means and by
a House Of Representatives friendly to
the system Of protection TO all the pro
ducts of American industrv-a REVISION
BY Committee of a House thoroughly
imbued with the principle that foreign
goods-competing with American goods
allowed to be imported into this
country, shall pay import duties at least
equal to the difference between the
higher wages paid to labor in this coun-
try and the lower wages paid to labor
in the countries from which the import
ed articles come.
In this respect it is greatly super or
to the Mills bill of the last Congress,
which was prepared, moulded and
shaped by a committee-a majority of
which was unquestionabIy animated by
spirit hostile to a large potion of the
