Troubling the Protectioa
Doctors.

1t now appears there are two kinds
OF reciprocity, the James g. Blaine
brand of 1912, which was forced by
him on the Mckinley tariff bill after
his historic and exciting personal in.
terview with the republican me mbers
OF the ways and means committee. The
other kind is the new brand, samples
OF which are seen in the reciprocity
treaties now before the United States
senate. The new Kasson brand is vio-
lently opposed by the Protective Tariff
league, and in the matter l. Is furnish.
ing to the republican newspapers il
said: "very many of the reductions
strike directly at some esta b,isEs and
important industry. The textile man
ufacturers and the jewelry manufac-
turers OF Massachusetts have opposed
with especial earnestness the ratifica-
ton of this (the French) treaty by the
senate" 1t then goes on and says that
1.-The free trade newspapers are favor
ing this French reciprocity" In read
ing these Nominations of the league
one has TO make allowances for it's mis-
reform newspapers free trade. and so
forth. for the league is in dire distress
just about now. Its scientific tariff is
under fire not only by the ever wicked
democrats, but by those of it's own
household. Even President Mckinley
in his speech at Buffalo said that recip-
rocity treaties are in harmony with the
y,ft.tt 81 L.
ton are not" But let these tariff doc
tors fight out who is best capa BILE Of
making a diagnosis Of the disorder
that is troubling the overprotectedp pa
tient and inquire IL either Of them are
likely to strike at the root Of the dis
ease. 1t is not the question of a five or
ten per cent. reduction of the tariff
on few articles. as the French treaty
provides, even allowing that the con-
stitution will allow revenue to be low
cred or raised by the action Of the ex-
ecutive and the senate. but shall the
protection given the trusts in the pres
ent tariff be taken off or continued?
Inc French reciprocity treaty. n or any
of the eight others now awaiting rati-
ficatiop. does not touch the monopoly
granted the trusts. and this is the main
question of the tariff reform that the
people want settled.
The reduction of the tariff on rev.
enue basis will follow when the pres
ent extravagant and wasteful repub-
lican party is replaced by one pledged
to an honest administration who will
be free from lavishness or waste.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The jngoes in congress and out
of it have at last president after
their own heart. They were never
satisfied with Mr.. Mckinley; his for
eign policy was too tame for them.
But perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt will not Be
so strenuous now he is president.
According to the agricultural
the corn crop is still
shrinking and the potato and apple
crops are about the worst on record.
On the other hand, freight rates on
these products have been advanced.
so that the railroads will come out
even. The crop that the railroads
gather never fails.
1t 10 too bad that President
Roosevelt could not have seen his
way clear to accept the resignation
Of Attorney General Knox and have
then appointed some eminent lawyer
who was known to favor the carrying
out Of the antitrust law. To have
done this would have given him .
hold on the masses Of his country
men that no president for some dec
ades has enjoyed, but perhaps hs
knew IL was impossible to find q ~

Another protection organ is in
trouble, which is hardly to be won
dered at when it is considered that it
is the sole organ also of the Quay
gang at Philadelphia. II is much wor-

the national association of manufac-

and will be led into making some big
mistakes at their meeting to consider
the question to be held this fall.
II the manufacturers have been re-
lying for information on The Inquirer
1t is probable their knowledge on tariff
questions is very meager. which is evil

it is not surprising that the manufac-
turers who are obliged to devote so
much time TO the conduct of their bust
ness that they have little opportunity
to apply themselves to the study Of
abstract questions OF craftsmanship
should be impressed by the suggestion
that reciprocity is kind Of free trade
in disguise, and that they should ac-
cordingly be disposed to look askance
at the new departure to whose ex-
pediency their attention has been and
S being directed"
Poor, overworked men. these manu-
facturers. without time 10 inquire and
inform them selves on a most important
matter that is OF great concern in
their own business. Bosh, they know
more about reciprocity than this self
satisfied organ of protection docs.
They have had the best legal advice on
the constitutionality Of the French
treaty. and they also know that a much
more serious question than reciprocity
Is at issue. and that is. shall the tariff
he eliminated or reduced on articles
these trusts and manufacturers sell
cheaper TO foreigners than they do to
our own people. That is an entirely
different brand Of reciprocity than the
one the Inquirer is talking about, and
irving TO befog its readers with.
Reciprocity between the manufac-
turers and the people and let the for
eigners take care of themselves Is the
tariff question that must soon be set

does not take the side OF the people
against the trusts and the monopolies
that the favored manufacturers have
so long enjoyed, the people will see
that democratic majority is elected

that extent. and then II that proves OF
advantage the people will be ready to
take up the further question Of tariff
