'iiiie Oh fostering home industries
-
The New York Evening Post declares that
the report of the tariff conference commit
tee is division of spoils such as takes place
In some parts of the world in caves after
successful raid on the travelling public
The.same issue Of the Post that contains this
savage and untrue sentence has collection
OF personals" designed to tell its readers
about prominent people In whom they are
likely to be interested. There are six of
these personals" of which four relate to
eminent Englishmen and two to the relations
of Emperor William and the Gar. Not
single American is mentioned. And peru
sal of the Posts persona" column on other
days will reveal much more information
about English and other foreign personages
than about Americans. This popularity is
not noticed in any spirit of carping criticism,
but to show that the constituency which the
Post aims to please is constituency inter-
ested largely in persons across the water.
1t is a constituency that travels abroad
and is on intimate relations with foreign
people and in sympathy to a certain extent
with foreign ideas and customs. When these
people get back to New York they want for
eign articles for their personal use and for
their houses and they do not want to pay the
duties demanded by the government. From
'theii point of view the new tariff bill is, as
the Post declares that it is, a trouble, and in
their wrath they may declarA.., "a division of
spells snes; as lakes place in some parts of
tie world after successful raid on
the travelling public" Now it is all right
for these few New York people to live much
abroad If they wish. The great laborin2
multitude of the American people envy them
their opportunities. 1t is also all right for
them to wish to get foreign clothes and fur
niture and luxuries with as few extra tariff
charges as possible. In this they only show
that they are human, just as are the great
multitude Of Americans who cannot 20
abroad or dress in fine imported clothes or
drink imported wines or be particularly in
terested In list Of newspaper paragraphs re.
lating to English dignitaries. 1t is also all
right for the New York Evening Post to COM
fort these people by denouncing the tariff as
a robber act. 1t is part of the business of
newspapers to be denouncing something all
The time. The people read the denunciations.
examine into the alleged nuisances or griey-
ances and then decide. They will read the
Posts able and fiery denunciations Of the
Mckinley bill and then they will examine
and find out that the Posts people are only
an inconsiderable part of the American
people, that they are suffering from an in
convenience and not hardship. and that
their interests cannot in equity be weighed
an instant against the magnificent and i'm
perial interests of fifty million or so of labor
ing American men and women whose COM
fort and well-being are inseparably linked
with the Industrial welfare of this nation.

1t has been noticed that although women
arc allowed to vote in Wyoming, there was
not q single feminine candidate on either
ticket in the recent election, and that women
do not take any conspicuous part In primary
meetings, conventions, or other party gather
ings. They voted in considerable numbers
however; and If they were content to be citi-
Gems without being politicians the cause Of
woman suffrage certainly was not hurt in
Wyoming.

The Lewiston Journal has issued very
pretty supplement as souvenir of the new
Lewiston city building. Three pictures
show the cid city bnilding. the new building

Mr.. Coombs, the Lewiston architect, but re-
iected in favor Of Boston architects work.
1t may not be wholly fair to judge Of an
architects work by an outside view of the
structure. But the rejected plan is certainly
the better so far as appearances are con-
cerned; and unless there were serious faults
Of internal arrangement in Mr.. Coombs's
plans, it is difficult to understand how the
authorities could have been led to prefer the
Boston plans.

The Argus is quite sure that a protective
tariff is robbery, but has not yet made up its
mind regarding the questions of taxation
raised by the address Of the Pomona Grange

little study of the protective tariff might
lead 1t to conclude that it doesn't know SO
much about that as it thinks it does.

Adjournment of the present session of
Congress will undoubtedly take place within
two or three days. The House will be ready
to adjourn today. The first session of the
Flftieth Congress did not end until October
Is, so that the present session is little
shorter than that. But it greatly exceeds
tRS average length of the sessions since the
war; In the amount and Importance Of its
work this Congress is far in advance of any
for many years past Yet when 1t opened so
narrow was the Republican margin that it
was generally believed that 1t was destined
10 De a do-nothing body. The minority
openly boosted that nothing should be done
without Its consent, and Its boast would have
been realized but for the quorum ruling.
Under the old habit of constituting silence as
absence 1t is within bounds to say that not
single act which was generally opposed by
the minority would have been passed this
session. To the Speaker more than to any
single person belongs the credit of having
removed the distractions in the pathway Of
the present House and enabled it do the
work which the people elected to do.
A tariff bill that will suit everybody is of

there is great diversity Of opinion as to the
principle that should underlie such meas
ure-whether 1t should be framed with an
eye single to revenue or whether account
should be taken Of home industries and the
revenue be raised In such way as will afford
some measure of protection to them. Then,
too, among those who agree as to the princi-
pie, there is much difference of opinion as to
what constitutes Its correct application. A
free trade tariff bill would not suit all the
free traders. A protective tariff bill will not
suit all the protectiOnists. No matter on
what principle founded tariff bill must in
volve compromises. It cannct suit all,
