Ex-senator Edmunds thus diagnoses the
present business and commercial situs-
ton. He says Every one knows that a
tariff for revenue only means the largest
possible introduction of foreign products
and manufactures and corresponding de-
crease in the demand for like products of
American soil and shops. That ia why
business halts and shows so little recupera-
tive power. Everybody is curtailiag.
Those who receive wages by the day
and week must in time feel the
strain that A. yet concerns
chiefly the capitalists. small AMI
large. Before business revives look for
u resdjustment of wages anil some pretty
severe economies. Nothing but immense
capital, great organization and small wages
will enable the American manufacturer to
put himself on footing of equality with
the foreigner. Here is the whole situation
in q nutshell. The American people must
prepare TO accept the conditions of social
and material life that prevail in foreign
iands If the Democratic policy of tariff for
revenue only shall be carried into effect.
