The Chicago Tribune is often quoted
by Free Traders, and in ghoulish glee
they refer 10 it as a Republican news
paper which does endorse ''the iniquit.
GUS high tariff theories Of its party and
the Mckinley atrocity." It is true that
the Tribune does not take as advanced
ground regarding the tariff as the Re.
publican leaders Of the country, but it ia
not altogether bad. For instance, our
Free Trade friends can get very little
comfort out Of the following editorial
from the Tribune, which shows that it
does not believe in reciprocity on the
Democratic plan OF reciprocity with the
whole world. 1t rather believes in the
kind that is proposed by Republican
Protectlonists. The Tribune says:
