THE tariff bill is not all that the presi- dent had hoped for. but it is an improve ment on the Mckinley bill. and therefore. although he could not conscientiously sign it, MT Cleveland allowed it to become a law. This morning in every custom house in the United States the new tariff law was put into effect and McKinleyism is dead forever, unless the voters have un- dergone a great change of mind since the last congressional election. The working of the new law will soon bring out its many good points, and perhaps the bad features may not prove as bad as many good democrats. including the president, fear them to be.
