1t is a fact that the house backed
squareiy down and accepted the senate
tariff bill. The reasons for the sur-
rendef need not be recapitulated here.
Suffice it to say it was the senate bill or
nothing. Had congress adjourned with
ont passing any bill. tariff agitation
would have dominated the elections
and have been revived at the Decem-
Der session. President Cleveland viii
probably permit the bill to become a
law without his signature. We shall
thus be relieved from tariff agitation
for at least three years, for a return to
McKinleyism inside of that time would

CIeveland's term does not expire until
1897, and previous to that time any
change involving higher protection
would be impossible, while changes
may be made lowering the duties.
Even those who are IHost disappointed
IN the bill must realizs1that three "a

pense, anxiety and business depression.

With this very considerable reduction
the bill is still sufficiently protective to
meet the honest requirements of every
manufacturing industry. That its pas
sage will materially cheaper the cost
of a wide range of universal neces-
saries will soon be realized.
Since the Walker tariff adopted just
prior To the war, which was the lowest
tariff since the first bill passed and to
which the country was just adjusting
Itself when the Wal began, every
change has been an increase of rates.
The bill just passed is a move in the
right direction, and its beneficent re-
suits will lead to still further reduc-
tons.
