THE NEW TARIFF BILL.


The Post prints this morning the full
text Of the new tariff bin. 1t has just been
completed by the Ways and Means COM
mittee and win. it ls expected, be intro
duced IN the house today or tomorrow.
1t is a republican measure, pure and
slmple--it Is a protection document, out
and out.
1t is made to emboiy President McKin-
ley's views as nearly as can be. aud out.
lines his fixed policy as governmental
means for the restoration OF prosperity TO
tho country. On its success or failure the
future of the republican party must de-
pend. and the president courageously ac-
oeps the responsibility for his party by
converting congress in extra session and
thus submitting the test at the earliest
possible moment.
1t Is claimed by hose who have examined
the bin that II is moderate. and that ex-
trcme protoctionists have not had 1t all
their way in committee. but be this as It
may there Is no attempt at disguise Of the
general purpose Of the measure. That is
Indicated in the caption. which is IAN act
to provide revenue for the government and
to PROTECT THE INDUSTRIES OF THE
UNITED STATES.
This Is plain enough
During the late campaign Mr.. Mckinley
mover made "A speech In which, he failed to
urge ana advocate the bald theory of pro-
lection. aud tho pingley bill just framed is
strictly in line with good faith to the pco-
pie who placed his party In power
For one The Post desires to see the
measure become Law just as the re-
puolicans have framed it. Let their policy
be tried to the fullest extent, and let the
responsibility be so plain aud direct that
there can be no question in the minds o,
the people If It prove success we'll and
good that is what the country wants; II.
on the other hand, failure cnsuc. then the
people viii attend to I, later on.
