The Coming Tariff Scramble

Fifty five of the fifty nine wool
films of Boston have signed peti
ton to the Finance Committee of the
Senate asking for the passage of the
Dingley bill as "ueasure OF tompo

that these Bostonians are concerned
only for business improvement. The
prosperity of their beloved country
is what moves them to pray that
clothing and blankets shall be made
artiiiclally dear. Aud the nation is
alive with other patriots of tho same
stripe. Senator Wilson, of Wash
ington, does not approve of the
Dingiey bill. ave do not he says,

1t is settled that the tariff is to he

when occasion arises.
There is one remark of Mr..
Reeds, however, which we think
he would revise, and perhaps with
draw, If he were to give the sub
ject more careful consideration.
"The doctrines of the platform
at Chicago were not those which
met with the approval of the toun-
dcrs of this Republic, and are not
those which commend themselves
to the judicious among the living.
The vote would rather seem To in
dictate that we have tried to as
simulate those from abroad too
rapidly, and that in offering them
so generous an asylum against op
preston have run some risk of op-
preston by alien ideas Ourselve.n
Now, that is exactly what the
vote does not Indicate The vast
majority Of our foreign born citi.
zens seem to have voted for hon

OF the nations faith. The States

Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois,
gave heavy pluralitics against
Bryan. On the other hand the
principal stronghulfS of rcpudia-
tion prove to be in States and re.
giOns like Kansas and the entire
South, where the foreign born ell
emcnt is either comparatively
small or absolutely totally absent.
No political philosopher who
stndies impartially the election
figures of 1896 can overlook this
remarkable fact; and Mr.. Reed
with his sharp eyes, should have
been one Of the very first to per
ceive it.-Ncw York Sun.

ANGLO-GEREAN RELATIONS.

Apart from all questions of right or wrong the
present threatening state Of affairs between
Germany and Great Britain has one rcdecmng
feature That Is the assurance that ii war be
tween those Powers would contribute far more
to the gayey than to the woe Of nations. II
would be about as funny as anything ever seen
ON the stage of opera bouffc. We should have
the spectacle Of two Of the strongest nations in
the wOrld-the greatest naval Power ana one or
the greatest two military Powers engaging in
a war In which there would be not the slight
est excuse for anybodys getting hurt. and in
which the so-called comba'ans would be reck-
oned first-class risks by the most prudent life
insurance company The irresistible German
Army could not possibly get into England or into
any British territory to fight, and so would have
TO remain in camp at home. The irresistible
British feet could not go ashore to do battlc

and coast. which, Of course, II could easily do.
Germany Is 80 strong on land that the British
would not venture to go ashore, and Great Brit
ain is so strong at sea that no German vessel
would venture TO put out So the two ire
sistiblc forces instead Of meeting and solving the
famous philosophical problem, would circle
harmlessly around each other until they got
tired Of the sport.
Nor is there any reasonable possibility Of an

4 SENSIBLE Carers.

The caucus Of Republican Senators has deter

OF the party-that the Tariff bill passed in the
House should be reported to the Senate without
any alteration. This decision had become ncces-
sary. if any change of revenue was TO he at

eminenlly proper amendments to the pending
measure could be proposed, and II is much 10

the Government an adequate revenue, II pos

and Senator Jones may even insist on defeating
il bv preventing a favorable rcpor. from the
Finance Committee. The President would be
delighted TO have them take the blame and the
shame for the defeat Of such a measure AT such
a time.
One thing the Senate ought to have done; il
should have decided to defer the debate on the
Bond bill, now n free-coinage bill. until the
revenue measure had been passed. This is not
a question Of party or faction but one Of public
welfare in the most immediate and highest
sense The President has already placed the
Nation in position Of grave foreign embar-
rassment. 1t Is said that he is about to send
feet to Turkey with orders which should surely
be honorable to the Nation and 10 civilization.
