8 OlNcLEY TARIFF AND PROSPERITY.
president Mckinley was very hap
man last Saturday night" says the
ston Herald's correspondent, land
ike freely about his great gratiiication
having his tarfl policy so quickly and
isfactorily carried out by congress,
b at the prospect that he would go
av on his vacation feeling that the

bn laid. and that it would have the
left of a returning prosperity which
now regards as assured"
Thus it appears that this great meas

such tariff would insure return
prosperity. The president has the
asure as he wanted it; if it fails to IN
,e good times it is not because 1t Is
tho measure he wanted. but because
desired measure was not in fact
oedv for the disease with which the
hntry was suffering. 1t is true that

but these may be the mere growls OF
opposition. The Dingley tariff is the
" and should be given the fairest trial.
Z the country can be prosperous under

t, then bad tariff legislation was not
+ cause of the hard times and some
ler remedy must be tried for their

times will improve. Trade must be
tier under certain than under an un-
rtain rate of duties. Industries that
favored by the protective features OF

that we shall this year produce a full

ession has been far surpassed by the
