Republican editors who insist that
uncertainty in regard to tariff legisla-
ton, or, rather the likelihood of tariff
reduction should be considered the
great cause of the general depression
of the present year, ought to stop and
consider how greatly they are respons-
ible for whatever tariff scare "afflicts
the American people. Tariff reform
ers demand the reduction of exorbit-
ant an unnecessary federal taxes; and
insist that such revision of the tariff
laws would prove an inestimable bless
ing to American industries. Some
uncertainty will, of course, attend the
substitution of an equitable system of
taxation for the unjust and burden
some Mckinley law; and is unavoid-
able. But the boyle stories of the
home market club, and the high tariff
press, about "ruinous foreign compe-
tition," pauper labor" etc, by fright
ening many simple minded manufac-
turers, and others, have done vast
amount of harm, and alarm occas-
toned In this way, of course, could
have been and ought to have been
avoided. Calamity bowling, which is
bad enough at any time, is most repre-
hensible when set up to prevent the
repeal Of a vicious law, or the enact
ment of beneficent legislation. The
following from Harper's Weekly sug-
gests in some degree the evil still to
come from that fruitful source of mis-
chief the camp of the high takers:
When the tariff changes come to be
announced a great hue-and- cry is
certain to be raised by the high pro-
tectionsts about their destructiveness.
We shall be told that all manufacture
ing industries will go to rack and ruin,
and that deadly blows are being dealt
TO American capital and labor. Not
only will there be this frothy talk, of
which we have had superabundance
for twenty years or more, but among
producers and manufacturers themsel-
yes there will doubtless be an uneasy
sense of new and trying conditions to
come. The truth is that the great
mass of manufactures have been
carried on inside of a wall so high that
they have not been able to see what
was going on on the other side Ion
portations have ceased, domestic man
ufactures have had sole control of the
field, and what foreign makers could
do if they had a chance nobody knew
Especially in textile indurtries, the
opportunity for real comparison of
prices and qualities in many grades of
goods has not existed. Those who
have looked carefully into the situa-
ton are certain that the great mass of
American textile industries will hold
their own without difficulty in face of a
more serious reduction of duties than
Congress is likely to enact. But the
continual preaching about pauper labor
and the disadvantages of the Ameri-
GIN manufacturer has produced a
natural feeling of timidity and uncer-
tainity among business men who have
attended to their own affairs, and have
had no time to concern themselves
with foreign competitors
The reform of the tariff, to be real,
must at best be somewhat unsettling.
A change from the very worst tariff
system TO the very best would mean
