CANNON'S SUBSTITUTE DE- |
FEATED.
DE-

Senator Cannon's substitute for the
monetary conference bill has been de-
feated in the senate by a vote of Al
to s, while the international bimetallic
/ conference bill was passed by vote
of 40 to 4. The better measure went
down; it was specific and business-like
in its provisions, and no doubt these
were the fatal qualities in it. 1t pro-
vided for the calling of an international
monetary conference, to meet in the
city of Washington, within a specified
time, to consider the question of free
| coinage at certain ratios. This was
/ proper as it would have given the con-
/ ference to have been called under
Senator Cannon's bill something def
mite to discuss. Under the Chandler
! bill any monetary conference that may
be called will, at best, have but an
academic question before it for dis
cussion. Few will be found who will
| oppose a bimetallic policy in the alb
stract; what is wanted is something in
the concrete. If when a monetary con-
ference is called and meets it will be
proper to suggest ratio between gold
and silver, why would it not be proper
to suggest a ratio in an invitation to a
conference? No government TO which
an invitation might be extended would
take umbrage at it any more than it
would take umbrage at a definite prop
osition regarding any other matter.
The adoption of the Chandler bill by
the senate Is doubtless more in accord
with President-elect McKinley's ideas
on the silver question. If Senator VOL
colt is in Europe at the request of the
president-elect, and such is the gen
eral belief, then of necessity he would
have to await the senator's return and
learn the results of his mission before
adopting any policy. Then this bill
adopted by the senate will permit the
incoming administration to play fast
and loose with the silver question all
the time, while if at any time some
impatient or impertinent silver man
who still pins his faith to the Re
publican party should arise and ask
what the Republican administration is
doing for silver, the administration can
reply, with some semblance of truth:
"Everythingi" The Chandler bill will
enable those who stand on the St
Louis platform and say that it is
friendly to silver, to keep the word

THE TARIFF IN POLITICS.

The San Francisco Chronicle thinks
that the scheme of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers to have the
tariff taken out Of politics is an rides
cent dream. 1t declares there is no
visible way Of getting the tariff on an
bipartisan basis; that it is now de-
batable question, and It cannot be dis
posed of without legislative aid, and
such aid is a political contingency al
ways. If every citizen were of one mind
about the tariff the way to the goal Of
the National association would be
easier. it says. But how are the views
of the orotectionist school and the
Golden propaganda, as they now
stand, to be squared? They are no more
reconcilable than are Calvanism and
Universalism in the arena of theology
They are the opposite sides of an his
toric controversy in which men of the
strongest convictions are enlisted
When one side gives up the fight and
admits itself in error, then the tariff
may be taken out of politics, though
even then expediency might suggest
that a matter which presses so closely
upon the welfare of the people should
be left to the free reforming and
amending hand of the voters at the
polls II is there that the wool men,
the fruit-growers, the wine-makers and
the dairvmen could make themselves
felt. while the chances are that the
wealthy manufacturers would be able
to control a board of business men"
sitting at Washington tt decide upon
tariff rates.
To take the tariff out of politics is
desirable, but the great trouble in ac-
complishing this is that each political
party wants TO take it out in IS Own
way; that is, each would fix it UP to
suit itself and then take it out OF poll
tics by having the other agree not to
touch it. This will probably never be
accomplished. But it is not impossible
to make a tariff that will be a COM
promise between the two extremes and
then cease tinkering it every year or
two. The great trouble with the tariff
now is that it has got 20 be more pol
itics than anything else; and so long as
such continues to be the case, so long
will ariff-tinkering be one of the great
curses Of the country.
