SHIFTY MR.. MCKINLEY.

1t is said the President told a mem
Der of the Anglo-American commits
sion that his views in regard to high
tariffs had undergone change, that he
believed the Dingley bill had outlived
its usefulness and that he would recon-
mend a measure of tariff reform be-
fore leaving the presidency.
While this will be taken with salt,
it will not be wholly discredited by
those who appreciate the extreme I'M
certainty of the Presidents character.
He has quite as suddenly and with as
little preparation changed his views
on the silver question and at one bound
jumped from position strongly in
favor of free coinage to the topmost
pinnacle of single gold standardism
Likewise with regard to our foreign
possessions, what the President a few
months ago regarded as criminal ag-
erosion" he now looks upon as quite
the proper American policy.
The country would hardly be surpris-
e1 at any change that might be an
reunced in the views or policy of our
shifty executive.
