THAT TARIFF FIGHT.

The fieht over the silver bill will be re-
membered as but skrmish when the
tariff battle is fairly on in the next
months. Some of the men composing
the Wilson's committee knew that they
signed their death warrant so far as any
political hopes of the immediate future
are concerned when they put their
names 10 the report containing the new
schedule. These men are at bay and
will fight to the death, realizing that it
is death for them in any event.
Il Is difficult TO tell from The published
schedule Just how far the bill reaches.
but one thing is plain enough that 1t
places all the products Of the pasture
and farm, the mine and the forest on the
free list. under the general claim of raw
material. This is to hold the manufac-
turer as against the cuts made on the
manufactured article, which as we said,
The schedule as published fails to make
plain. But in any event every indus
trial and productive interest must be
eft in doubt and uncertainty until five
hundred statesmen, b.atherskites and
iobbers have had their say and made
their fight. One other thing is certain,
and that is. the bill will become law or
otherwise the Democratic party will re-
pudiate its own platform, its own COM
mittees and its own administration.
