Oem.). says:
The lesson principally to be learned
from tals tariH contest and its impotent
party made the protected interests a
partner IN the government it in fact made
them the governing partner in the firm.
The way to cure the situation so intoler-
able to the people, is not to reduce the in
terest of the protected manufacturers,
but to dissolve the partnership altogeth
er. me way to reform the tariff is to
abolish it. There can be no halfway
measures with vice. and protection is
nothing but economic vice-the prostitu-
ton of government to the ends of private
profit.
This is the moral of he whole tariff
contest. The partnership must cease.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says con-
corning the passage of the tariff bill by
the House:
The surrender of the House in it's tariff
contest with the Senate is complete, con-
elusive and humiliating. 1t involves not

legislation, but also a concession of the
right of the Senate to dictate such legis-
lation.
This surrender included the defeat of the
Mckinley bill at any rate.

petition of the New England .nanufac-
turers to Congress asking that iron ore,
coal and coke be placed on the free ist
says:
The popularity of this petition is that
it does not ask protection it asks only
a fair field and no favor In chis it is
and creditable to New England enterprise.
1t seeks TO special favorS; it only looks
to an equity of conditions between the
manufacturers and workmen of New Eng
land and those of other parts of the coun-
try. This is the stand which Republi-
cans as well as Democrats take; for there
is no craftsmanship among the people of
New England when the common good is
concerned.

The American House of Representa-

ating position as it does at present 1t
has accepted at the dictation of the Sen
surrender of the principles upon which 1t
was elected 1t is not a question of get
ting a part Of what it wanted and Of wait

for the country bill which it describes
as little short of infamous.-S. F. Call

leaders or upon their faction. The pro-
position to pass separate bills to place
sugar, coal and iron ore on the free list

That clap-trap will be like a clap of
thunder to the Senate.
The president, of course. can veto the
bill. 1t is believed that he would like
to veto it. He has condemned it in
language the severity of which will not
be eXcelled by any Republican critic of
its dement's. Yet it is not expected that
he will veto it. Few believe that he dare
veto it.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Whether the president will sign or veto
the bill will be known in a very few days.

cised all round.
