The Real Article

The best testimony that Mr.. Dingley and
his associates are receiving as to the real
or aracter of the tariff bill they have con-
structed is coming from abroad. They had
protection in mind when they set to work
and that they have closely followed that
principle in their labors is to be read in all
of the cables bearing on the subject. There
is q chorus of protests against the measure
coming from all quarters to he affected by
its provisions. The loudest note as was to

The Englishman surrenders any part of any
good market with great reluctance, and his
realization of what. to him. the return of
the republican party to power in this coun-
try means casts a gloom over his spirits
AS protection is again a very live ISSUE
Mr.. Dingley and his friends have probably
acted wisely in drawing the line sharply
1t is only in that way that issues are salts
fGctorily settled. The home market for the
home people. to the full extent of their
power to use it. is the republican promise
ard attempted performance. The test of
this policy. under up-to-date conditions. is
now to take place. 1t ought to be fair and
complete, for the whole countrys sake.
The tariff as a campaign cry is disturb
irg agency of great power. Business has
been rocking under its influence for full
tw enty years, sometimes more uncomforta-
lily than at others. but at all times uncom-
fortably enough. The general desire, as
voiced. is for rest. If. therefore, this
Dingisy bill. drawn logically and consist
entity on protection lines. meets the expec-
tations OF its friends, and produces the
promised prosperity, that era of rest will in
all probability begin. II it fails. the situa-
tion will be all the clearer for the fact that
1t will not be in order for anybody then to
declare that protection had not enjoyed d
legitimate trial. The Dingley bill is a pro-
lection measure. so recognized both at
kOme and abroad. and 1t ought to produce
