of the Republican party for tariff legislation has

Its work has not been without faults. 1t has
never framed any tariff bill absolutely free from
mistakes; what party has done or can do that!

But when law IS held to deprive everybody

WHY GOOD RESULTS ARE EXPECTED.

One consideration may help men on both sides
Of the House In forming an opinion about the
coming Tariff bill and its probable influence upon
business The Republican leaders who are
framing this measure know that II It results
dsastrously the party will be beaten, and in
deed that. If It does not soon restore general
prosperity 10 industry and business political
reaction VIII speedily come. 1t Is distinctly on
the theory that a proper revenue law will set
things moving in the right direction that the
President has called an extra session for the
special purpose of framing such law and the
Republican leaders have put aside all other legis-
lation until that can be accomplished On the
other hand. the silver leaders have decided to
make no effective opposition because they want
the soundness Of their theories tested before the
world. They hold that monetary conditions keep
back prosperity, and stake everything on the
belief that the wlsest tariff the Republicans can
pass will do no real good
The Republican leaders know well that II they
yield far In one direction or another, TO the
Interests which demand special consideration. as
to retard or restrict public prosperity, they sim
ply doom themselves TO defeat. There Is going
to be time to test the actual working of this
tariff 1t cannot be brought under condemna-
ton by sheer lying before its effects have ap-
peared at ALL the act OF 1890 was. Yet there
will not be a long time. Little more than year
will eapse between the passing Of the bill and
the next Congressional elections Hence the
measure must be one which will bring good re-
suits, and will bring them without long delay.
or the theory of silver men and Bryan Demo
Gratis will be strengthened In popular opinion,
and the position Of the Republicans correspond
ingly weakened. 1t Is only fair to remember
that the leading men OF the Senate, every time
they decide upon any clause Of the pending BILL
have In mind this personal responsibility. A
third Of the Senators and all the Representatives
depend upon popular approval Of this measure
next year. and one grossly unwlse or offensive
clause might render worthless all the care ex-
pended in framing the bill
In view of that fact. IT would be good sense
for business men In general and for Democratic
friends in particular to reflect that this measure
Will be framed with the utmost ability that the
Republican party can bring TO bear upon Il.
Some are rather in the habit Of denouncing this
or that provision as outrageous and suicidal be-
cause IL does not square with their theories.
But they should remember that the Republicans
are applying their own principles to this bust
ness, ana with their political lives In their hands
ere doing what they believe will most surely
