The Long Wait.

The discussion on the tariff which
began in the Senate last week is liable
to last al summer, and even into the
fall. Prospective of the general de-
mandatory, soul relieving, and indig-
nantly virtuous remarks which are to
be expected from those Democratic
Senators who made or meekly accepted
the Wilson protective tariff, and are
consequently prejudiced againat Re-
publican protective tariff; and ire
spective of the gigantic intellects which
are already getting visibly dropsical
with undelivered speeches about trusts
and octopuses; irrespective of the
Populist and professional silver Sena-
tors, each one with loads of remarks to
discharge; irrespective, in short, of the
various time allowances for buncombe
and windy oratory for campaign pur-
possess, the necessary, serious, and
business-like consideration of tariff
bill takes great deal of time. The
schedules are often so complicated;
the interests involved are 80 numerous,
and the clashing of these is often so
great, that weeks and months are
needed to complete the measure. More
over, the balance of power in the pres
ent Senate is 80 uncertain and delicate
that pains will have to be taken to give
no Senator any cause of complaint in
tho matter of time, and opportunity to
attend to the special wants Of his con-
stitituents, and to discuss the bin in
general and in particulars.
All this must take time, and many
persons grow impatient. The cheerful
thinkers who want to make US all rich
by paying US fifty cents on the dollar
will Inquire where Prosperity is, and so
on. Sensible people will not murmur
at the inevitable or misunderstood it.
Mr.. Mckinley and his friends are not
in the miracle business. The tariff
must be made in the slow way in which
tariffs are made. 1t will be made as
soon as it can be. 1t might be made
considerably sooner if the Senators who
delighted to hunt the octopus, and the
not numerous representatives of Bun
combe county, could be induced to shut
up; or if through the whole discussion
of the bill everybody would talk bust
ness and nobody would talk hubdub
But, here, again, no miracle can be ex
pected. We must be patient, and W,
must allow for the immense difficulties
which are always in the way of any
tariff bill.-New York Sun.

POLITICAL.
Tariff In the Senate.

The tariff debate in the senate was
opened by Mr.. Aldrich with speech
which fully explains the purposes his
committee had in mind in making their
changes in the house bill. Part of his
remarks are devoted to reply to Mr..
Wilson's attacks on the original meas
ure, which is proof of desire to con-
ciliate public opinion, just as Mr.. Will
sons arraignment was an appeal to
public opinion on the other side.
There is an increasing realization by
tariff makers in both parties of their
responsibility to the people for what
they propose. This does not involve
cheap professional demagogy. 1t in
wolves sincere belief in the two theo-
ries of economics, one for protection
and the other for revenue, and con-
seriousness that the country has passed
the point at which thick and thin par
tisanship can be relied upon to sustain
measures simply because they are the
party measures.
There can be no better proof of this
than is afforded by the speech of the
Rhode Island Senator. He does not
discuss the tariff from the political
standpoint at all, but solely from the
economic point of view. And while he
is compelled to justify the numerous
changes in the bill by an exposure of
what he believes to be the mistakes of
the tariff makers in the house, he does
so in manner which will disarm the
criticism of even those who dissent
from his conclusions. His main point
is that the Senate duties are consider
ably lower than those imposed by the
house bill and in many instances be-
low those contained in the act of 1890.
From the protective point of view it is
the Senator's opinion that the indus
trial conditions of the country do not
warrant return to Mckinley duties,
and we are specially informed that the
true friends of the protective policy do
not insist upon extreme rates or on any
rates that are not necessary to equalize
conditions. To the extent that the
Senate amendments cut under Dingley
duties they keep Republicanism in line
with its early professions.
1t should not be supposed, though,
that Mr.. Aldrich and his associates
have in any instance tried to 60 below
the protective point. On the contrary,
we are told that if the amended bill
should become law every American
industry would be able to meet foreign
competition on equal terms. The
, question is whether the committee has
reduced duties in those industries
which have made made advances, since
the passage of the last Republican tar
if and whether the reduction has been
proportionate to the improvement?
There is relief in the assurance that
80 far as the Republicans in the Senate
are concerned no time will be wasted
in academic discussion of the princi-
pies of protection, and also that there
will be no factious opposition on the
Democratic side. We will not be sur
prised, however, if the summer is well
nigh over before the bill becomes law
Thus industrial uncertainty will con-
tinue and the business of the country
will be strung up by the neck.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.

HAVE you ever noticed the peculiar ef-
feet in the firing Of cannon? To most people
the sound of a cannon in action is far greater
when they are some distance away than 1t is
when they are within few yards OF it,
After the first shot is fired scarcely any at
tention is paid to the shots that follow
Even the most nervous and delicate per
sons become indifferent to their sound
