VIII the President Sign ItP

On his return TO Washington on
| Wednesday the President did not take
the public into his confidence in respect
TO his intention relative to the tariff bill.
Nobody seems TO know whether he will
sign il or veto il. or let it become a law
I without his signature. The very general
impression is that he will let it become a
law without his signature. He probably
| feels that he could not consistently sign IL
/ after his letter to Chairman Wilson. And
/ it would be mistake from any stand
point to veto 1t.
If he shold veto it there would at once
be such uncertainty as TO paralyze bust
ness. A veto would mean that the tariff
question would be again taken up for leg
islation as soon as congress reassembled,
and all the various interests of the coun-
try would wait TO see what the charac-
ter of the new bill would be. There
would therefore be no life in business or
Industries during the next five or six
months
II is pretty certain that the Senate
would not agree TO a bill materially diff
ferent from the present one. There is a
democratic majority IN the Senate, but
not majority Of tariff reformers. There
are half dozen or more of the demo-
cratic senators who are protectionists.
No tariff bill that is framed in harmony
with the tariff doctrines of the Demo
cratic party could be got through the Sen
ate as it is at present constituted.
The bill now in the Presidents hands
is vast improvement upon the Mckinley
tariff, and if given a fair trial it will be
productive OF great prosperity. 1t will
provide an ample revenue, and that the
Mckinley tariff does not do. The Harri-
son administration used up not only all
the revenue under the Mckinley tariff,
but also the immense surplus left by the
Cleveland administration
To veto the bill would increase the
chances of the republicans for carrying
the next House. There would be such
dissatisfaction that thousands of demo
Gratis who are anxious for the settlement
of the tariff question would vote the re-
publican ticket. Many, of course, would
applaud the President and commend his
courage if he should veto the bill, but it
is his duty to do what is best for the
country and not what would bring him
applause.
1t would be unwise to refuse to accept
what has been obtained in the way of
tariff reform with the hope of getting all
that is demanded. The most should be
made of what has been obtained and the
effort TO obtain still greater reforms
should be continued.

Is This statesm anshipP

The new tariff bill contains paragraph
concerning alcohol used in thearts which,
ifallowed to remain as it is, would in all
probability, sacrifice the revenues of the
government to the amount of from S1OOOO,-
600 to $50. 600 OOO." Senator Sherman
makes the foregoing estimate and he is
very good authority in respect to such
matters.
The House has passed a bill correcting
the paragraph so as TO save the govern
ment from loss. The bill is now in the
Senate, and the democratic senators
are trying to pass it. They have not been
able to do so thus far, because they
haven't quorum, and the republicans
will not permit it to pass unless a quorum
is present. The day it was reported to
the Senate there was quorum in the
Senate, and it could have been
passed promptly. Senator Chandler,
however, thought it would be
smart to object, and thus send
the bill over one day under the rules. To
his small mind it was Of vastly
more Importance that the demo
Gratis should be worried than that
Sf0,0O0,000 or $50 200, 900 Should be saved
to the government. The next day there
was not quorum, and there has not been
a quorum since. The democrats are doing
their utmost to get a quorum, because the
republicans insist that there shall be no
legislation relative to the tariff without
one. That is what Senator Chandler and
some of the other republican senators re-
gard as craftsmanship,
Some of the republican papers are
speaking of the alcohol paragraph as "a
stupid mistake of the democrats It
is true that the democrats will be
held responsible for It, because
they are in the majority, but,
as matter of fact, the paragraph was
introduced by Senator Hoar, leading
republican, He did not intend it to have
the meaning it has. The purpose of it is
all right, and that is the reason the dem
ocrats did not scan it closely when it was
before the Senate. Practically, there
fore, republican is the author of the
stupid mistake" And now the republi-
! can senators are throwing every obstacle
in the way of correcting the mistake A
lot of school boys would hardly be guilty
of such meanness.
! Democratic senators who have left
Washington should return to their posts
of duty at once. They cannot afford to
be responsible for such loss of govern
ment revenue. If they should fail to cor.
rect the error before congress adjourns
the people would have good cause for
criticising the Democratic party.
There was much carelessness in fran
! ing and amending the tariff bill. 1t con.
tains about sixty errors. Most of them
are not of great Importance, but few of
them are certain to cause trouble and
| loss of revenue if not speedily corrected
The bill was under consideration long
enough to have had it correct in every
| important particular.

Calling. but No Resnonse.

The Boston Globe, commenting on the
failure of the crops in the northwest and
the announcement that many farmers of
that section are preparing to emigrate to
a more friendly section, says Come
east, every dissatisfied and gloomy
minded granger Of the west, and grow up
with our country. IL is on all accounts
well worth living in"
The grangers of the drought-cursed
west are not going to jump out of the
frying pan into the fire, as it were. They
are not going TO the inhospitable climate
and stony fields of New England, where
they would run the risk of either freezing
or starving 10 death. New England's
abandoned farms are sufficient to warn
them away from the east. They will not
heed the call of the Globe.
The south is the place for the farmers
of the northwest who are seeking homes
In Georgia, or any other southern state,
they can get land at low price, and with
their thrift they can make not only a
comfortable living, but can accumulate
property. The south is the coming sec
tion of this country Inside of ten years
her prosperity will exceed that of any
other section.

Representative johnson of North Da.
kota thinks there should be free and I'M
limited coinage of silver into subsidiary
coins, whether there is free coinage of
dollars or not. He has, therefore, intro
troduced in the House a bill to amend the
law Of 1876, which authorized the coinage
of S60,000,0OO of subsidiary silver by
removing the limit. If the number of
coins in circulation, and not their actual
value, is the thing that will make us all
rich, it seems that Mr.. Johnson's PROPOSE
tion is much better than great many Of
the other free silver schemes.

crime that should not, and probably

The Culberson who was nominated for
governor of Texas the other day was not
Congressman Culberson, but his son. The
congressman, who has represented the
Fourth Texas district in the House for
nearly twenty years and is regarded as
the ablest man in the Texas delegation,
withdrew from the race for congress
when it became apparent that his son
would be a leading candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination. The congress-
man did not wish to imperil his sons
prospects by making too much of a family
affair of the Texas offices Now that the
younger Culberson has been safely nomi-
nLted. it is iutimated that the Fourth dis
trict may insist upon sending the older
Culberson back TO congress, despite his
declination. In Texas they have a way
of keeping good men in congress who
have thoroughly learned the business.
