REVISION OF THE TARIFF.


Industrial Interests Improving Under
DrElocr:Iiic Rule.
REPORTS from various manufacturing
crntrrs Of The country show how liypo-
critical was the cry raised during the
campaign of las. fall. that an adoption
of the democratic tariff idea meant Il
virtual annihilation of our great indus
trial interests. The Carncgies are ex-
pending some two million dollars in the
enlargement and Improvement of their
great plant at Homestead. and sig
nihcant feature in the ease is the fact
that a largely increased producing ca
pacitv in several departments is among
the contemplated changes. All the
vast sum t. be expended is with Il view
to meeting greatly increased demand.
Like faith in the business future is
manifest from other important locali-
ties. and all this despite the terrible
disasters that the people We're told
would follow, upon n retirement of the
republican party from power. It is well
understood that in the coming revision
the iron and steel schedule of the tariff
will be changed throughout. 1t is the
expectation among the producers them
selves that iron ore will be placed upon
the free list and that the duty upon pig
iron will be greatly reduced. 1t is also
anticipated that from the duty on the
finished products there will be taken a
considerable portion in addition to that
corresponding to the reduction upon
the raw material.
The manufacturers understand, as
they have understood all along. that
such 4 revision Of the tariff will not
render it impossible for them to do
business on Il profitable basis. On the
other hand. many of them are satisfied
that their business will be improved by
the increased demand for their products.
They are convinced that all existing
difficulties viii receive due conSidcra-
ton. and that the revision will he 50
made by congress that they may adjust
themselves to the changing situation.
They as well rs the consumers will be
benefited hr the proposed changes. and
the enlargements are being made only
in anticipation of the increased trade
which will result from the practical APP
plicatiou of democratic principles as
affecting The tariff question Detroit

THE MONEY QUESTION.
Financial Matters at Washington Daily
Improving.

Every effort ought To be made that is
consistent with the safety of the busi-
ness interests of the country to post
pone the consideration OF the currency
question until after the revision OF the
tariff. Secretary Carlisle i, convinced
that the monetary conditions are daily
becoming more satisfactory. Gold is
coming in in adequate amounts. and al
though there have been occasional re-
newals OF the foreign demand for it
there seems = have com" an end 70 any
thing approaching lack Of confidence in
the treasury.
The financial authorities AZ Washing
ton. agreeing with Mr.. Carlisle, are
hopeful that the problem can be solved
without drawing the question into the
arena of immediate political debate.
The main issue on which Mr.. Cleveland
was elected was that of the tariff. That
is the issue upon which there is most
harmony among democratic congress
men. and that is the one also in which
the people of the country are most deep
ly concerned.
The money ques ton IS no longer con
fined to silver coinage. 1t now EN-
braces The whole subject of our incon
gruous paper currency and involves the
entire system of banking. Moreover. it
cannot be determined without Il solu
tion of the difficulties of those cpmmUni
ties that have not proper banking facili-
ties; in other words. that are not pos
sesscd OF proper credit tokens for the
transaction of their business.
The settlement of such problems will
require very many months OF deep
study and thorough discussion. And in
the meantime it would not be fair To
the people who have demanded by an
enormous majority that they shall be
relieved from the burdens of tariff taxa
ton imposed upon them by the Mckin-
ley act that the reform Of that act
should be postponed.
L i, probable that the administration
will b" able to take such steps as will
convince the country and tie financial
world that proper solution of the
monetary question will ne eventually
reached, and that in the meantime
American securities will remain safe

MANTLE Is WAITING.

An interesting phase of the senatorial
situation is tho side skirmishing between
the War Horse and the younger repub-
lican colts. Before balloting ced
the republicans saw nc possible oppor-
tunity Of getting away with the senator
ship, and so their representatives met
in caucus and in regular form unani-
mously chose the War Horse as their
senatorial candidate. This action was
entirely proper and the republican legis-
lstors are in honor bound to support
their caucus nominee to the finish. But
the fun OF the situation appeared when
it was known that the young colts
changed their ideas Of that sortof honor
when they discovered a fine row pro-
crossing IN the democratic camp.
The esteemed Inter Mountain let's
the fox out Of it's hole when it says:
"Whether the members will vote for
Sanders, or Mantle, or Carter. or Weed,
will depend entirely upon the changing
aspect of the situation, and we think
that any three of them will retire in
favor of the fourth the moment there
may DO a show for republican success"
This is the first official announcement
OF MI. Mantle's candidacy, though we
regret hat the Inter Mountain has
deemed it necessary to depart from the
time honored precedent OF a auons de-
cision in order to bring out its
We think the old War Horse still has
the best of it if there is honor among
republicans and senatorial thieves.
Mantle has a large contract on his
hands if he expects to wait until it is
determined whether the republicans
can get the ~senatorship and then get it
for himself. We regret that democrats
are helping him in the first direction,
while the War Horse, the "featherheads'
and Captain Couch are looking out for
the latter.
