SENATOR LODGE SPEAKS.
The Tariff is a Business Question Says
the Massachusetts Senator.

The Tariff is a Business Question Says
the Massachusetts Senator.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Lodge
addressed the senate in opposition to the
pending tariff bill, and in the course of
his remarks said:
sit is always well to look at things as
they are, even if the thing be free trade,
to which some persons in beautiful Ian
guage have consecrated themselves. 1t
is best, if we would treat it intelligently
to know that by itself and of itself, the
tariff is a business question and that
protection and free trade only take
on different and far deeper
meaning when they are considered
as parts of question between far reach
ing principles. He touched lightly upon
the question of reciprocity and showed
with perspicuity. the advantages which
had flowed from it and the growth of
trade which followed the adoption of
reciprocity treaties.
'sOur first object he said, SHOULD be
to hold our own market, because it is the
largest and best; and that being done
and our own market securely guarded,
our next object should be to increase our
outside markets by any possible device.
In conclusion he said: ''There is dark
ness before and dangers voice behind.
threat of this bill is really breaking down
an important part of broad general
policy on which we must rely, unless we
are prepared to meet the shock of changes
which it would be difficult to portray"
