REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
Law May BE Modified without Change
of Principle.
Noblesville Nnd.l LEDGER.

Noblesville Qnd.) Ledger.
The Ledger has always been and is now
a believer In the principle of a protective
tariff and sound money. In fact. we be
lieve that protection is more responsible
for prosperity than the gold standard.
But while we thoroughly believe in the
principle of protection, yet We do not
consider the different laws passed on this
subject are as Interchangeable as the laws
of the Modes and Persians. Conditions
and circumstances alter cases in the mat
ter of tariff schedules as we'll as in other
matters. When an Infant industry has
got out of its swaddling clothes.is
able to stand alone and go it alone
then there is no violation of the theory of
protection If the tariff is removed from
the goods of this industry. When the ne
cessity for protection ceases there is no
reason why a tariff should be levied except
as a matter Of revenue. IL the manufac-
tlrers of steel, iron and other such products
can undersell foreign competitors, then
there is no necessity for a protective
tariff in order to maintain the home market
Tor the home producer. He has the home
market without the tariff. and therefore
the tariff is a dead letter on the statute
books. The changed conditions in our in
dustrial development, and also by reason
of our new island possessions; will render
a revision in our tariff schedules desirable,
If not absolutely necessary.
Such revision. however. should be made
violence be done TO the great doctrine that
has done so much for the prosperity of
this country. The American people nave
repeatedly declared tnelr taltn IN a pro-
tective tariff. To avoid having the subject
thrust into every campaign il would be "A
wise thing If Congress would establish a
tariff commission TO modify the schedules
as the e~Xigencies and conditions of the
times demand. This commission should be
composed of business men OF large capaci-
ties and friends of protection. This plan
would largely eliminate the tariff question
from politics and give stability and conf
depce to the business world.
This question of the revision OF the tariff
Will be a live one during the next session
of Congress. Representative Babcock. a
leading Republican Of the House, intro
duced such a bill at the last session Of
Congress. 1t is quite sure that the Repub-
leans will do nothing that win show a
OF faith in the great doctrine OF
protection. But a proper and wise modif-
cation of the tariff will not destroy but
will strengthen the faith Of the people in
this wise theory Of government. AS a mat
ter OF party policy it will be wise to revise
the tariff. The Democrats will make the
trust question prominent i'm the next cam
paign. They Will charge that the tariff is
responsible for the trusts. While this is
not true. yet many voters will be led
astray by the false statements on this line
OF argument. Remove the tariff from trust
made goods where protection is not needed
and you remove all grounds for an argu-
ment from a Democratic standpoint. Re-
wise the tariff on sensible, business lines.
