That non-partissn tariff conven-
ton that meets in Detroit early in
next month, promises to be a much
larger and more influential gath
ering than was at fret supposed.
1t has the hearty support and CO.
operation OF a large mum Der of the
most influential commercial bod
les, and in its deliberations will
cover a wide range OF subjects.
The attempt will there be made to
take the tariff question out Of poll
tics and make OF it commercial
and industrial question. This sub.
ject alone will invest the proceed
ings with unusual interest, coming
as it does just before the meeting
Of the great national political bod
les. That the tariff il a business
rather than a political question is
generally accepted, although it de-
ponds for any law to give it force
upon legislative enactments.

opinion that il he could give the
Raines bill cussing out, declare
against the A. P. A. as unAmeri-
can, and put local option plank
in the platform as sop to New
York, he could carry the next state
legislature. But, suppose that

Uncle Sam is in good favor with
Japan. That country would like
to extend its trade in this direction
and there is money in it. Ameri.
can merchants must cater to Jap,
anese ideas if they would reap the
field of this new commerce. Japan
in time, will do her own mauufac,
turing, but not for some years.
She likes the American methods
and machinery better than tht

tually advantageous to her and t.
our own people to extend our eff
