Regarded entirely as tariff measure,

provisions, lnasmuch as they deprive cap

! 1t is condemned for the tax it imposes
on incomes by that large class who have
escaped taxation and have enjoyed large
incomes at the same time
While the Senate tariff bill does not
meet the full requirements of tariff re-
form, for reasons with which our readers
are familiar it cuts down by consider
able percentage. rs q rule, the tariff
taxes of the Mckinley act, where those
taxes are not wholly removed, and en-

1t is an infinitely better measure than

disasters that have crowded so rapidly

and Congress to teach the American
people lesson of practical wisdom which
snail prove salutary to them and to their
posterity. In view of the manifest and
acknowledged incapacity, perfidy and in
fanny of the routed Democracy, it would
seem scarcely necessary for that party to
incur the expense of calling and holding
nominating conventions for the next cleo
uon.-Ma1l and Express (Rep).
The lesson is that when once protec-

the country it takes a terrible struggle

Instead of proving it's incapacity to
govern by its prolonged contest against
the protectionist Senate, the Democratic
majority has demonstrated that it is i'm
bued with a spirit of righteousness and
of honest opposition 10 the plutocratic
combinations that owe their existence to
Republican protection.-LanSing, Mich.
Journal Oem).
The House certainly proved itself COM
petent for the task imposed upon it and
to be the friend of the people.
A general revival of confidence will
come just as soon as the bill becomes
law. Everything points to an early re-
newal of an activity in the business
world such as has not been seen in re-
are lower than they have been since 1877,
and this must soon reopen mines mills
and factories and give employment to
every idle hand.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat Rep).
Business is all ready to take advantage
of the new bill, and the country will
soon experience a great business revival
Additional reason for the speedy sign
ing of the bill is that if the president
concludes to take the petty course of let
ting it become law without his sigma
session until the ten days, exclusive of
Sundays, prescribed by law have ex-
pired. The men in Congress, and more
decidedly the people out of Congress. are
eager for an immediate adjournment
Chicago Times Dem.).
1t is quite certain the president will
not veto the bill, and that is the most
important thing just now.
Meantime the friends of tariff reform
have cause for good cheer Mckinleyism
at least is dead and its vile offspring is
already doomed. Only let the people,
whose cause has been so ably and nobly
led by the men who stood true to the
Wilson bill, now take UP the battle, and
'protectionism" will meet it's Gettysburg
in November.-N. Y. Herald Qnd.).
Any further movements in regard to
the tariff in future will be in the direc-
ton of reductions.
The tariff, as finally passed, while in
many respects it falls short of the expec-
tations of the country. is an enormous
step forward in the direction of reduced
taxation, a step that will never be re
traced. From this time the fixed policy
of the country will be toward the grad
ual reduction of import duties, and our
manufacturers, who will prosper under
this new tariff as they have never pros
pered before, will not again seek the res
toration of the eXorbitant taxes which
have demoralized so many of our indus
tries.-Philadelphla Times Qnd).
The day when the trusts and the mo-
nopolies can get what they want from
Congress in the way of a tariff is gone.
The Democrats of the House for rea-
sons admirably stated by Chairman Will
son and Speaker Crisp, accepted the Sen
ate tariff BILL with all its lmpertectons
and its shame, rather than to get none.

The country demanded action on the
tariff question and all that could be done
at present was done.
But what will the president do, with
the bill? Sign it, we predict. And haV-
ing signed it he will send a message full
of sound and fury to the Senate de-
nouncing the bill to which he has liked
his approving observation-disclosures inter-
