They Must Tackle the Tariff.

The Republicans are pledged to
give higher protection to ia.
vored industries; and no doubt the
pledge has been made more bind
ing by the contributions of the
trusts and other monopolies and
combinations to Hanna's huge
campaign fund. From Mckinley
down, they have declared that this
was the only remedy for the de-
preston of business and the only
relief to the national treasury
from its embarrassments on &C
count of a deficiency of revenue.
They have promised to bring about
a revival of business activity and
a "restoration of prosperity by
tariff revision only-in the langu-
age of Mckinley, '.by reopening
the mills"

and they have secured a large ma

will have a clear majority of the
senate after that date. But we do

will be able to make very great
changes in the present tariff, or to
