The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-01-21

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SIR-The Journal this morning, with
apparent great Joy, quotes the statement
of Senator Aldrich, made at Lincoln, Sat-
urday night, "That the Republicans after
'96 will not re-enact the tariff bill of
$780," The Journal considers that this
amounts to declaration of war on "the
Mckinley faction of the party" As a
matter of fact Senator Aldrich said
that the Repu biican party was party OF
progression; that the conditions are con-
stantly changing; that the business in
terests in 1897 will demand a cons derably
different tariff bill from that passed in
1890; but that whatever bill Is passed
there will be not the slightest yielding Of
the great and cardinal principal of protec-
ton, think am safe in saying that no
protectionist asks more than that
not even Governor Mckinley himself. 1t
would be as absurd to re-enact the Nc
Kinley bill, line for line, as 1t would be to
re-enact the Morrill, bill, word for word.
A tariff bill made by Republicans, how
ever, will be thoroughly protect
i've tariff. That's what the people
want, no matter by what name 1t goes.
AS Senator Aldrich had probably more to
do with making the tariff bill of 1890 than
did Major Mckinley himself, he is not
likely to commit himself TO any "declara-
tion of war" against Gov. Mckinley or
his bill.
Furthermore, may ! be permitted to
say that while we In New England are
amusing ourselves with the hope that
this section may, In the person of Mr..
Reed, have the honor OF heading the
,icLat In, 1909 tho calm probabilities ara
that the candidate will again come from
the great, growing and restless West;
that today Governor Mckinley seems
TO be the logical candidate, but
~ as usual a compromise candidate shall
be selected, 1t will be either Lincoln or
Allison. OF course neither OF these can
didates would please The Journal. Yet,
come to think oft, nobody cares to please
The Journal.
