Not at all. There will be great
doings" along this line in the near
future. The storm is brewing, 1t
is coming fast tits so formidable
that many men both in and out of
Congress whose economic knowl-
edge dates from some earlier per-
iod, will soon have to revise their
views on this question.
There has lately been an organi-
cation of manufacturers effected
whose purpose it is to help the
cause of reciprocity. There are
now several commercial treaties
pending with foreign countries
all of which have reciprocity clauses
attached.
This meeting of manufacturers
will be held in Philadelphia on
November 10Th and it will be q
notable gathering. The Demo-
Gratis have always commended that
the tariff was species of GLASS tav-
oritisln, and this great meeting of
the tariff benefoiaries to see what
can be done to stem the tide OF
sentiment against the governments

that the old arguments in favor of
a high tariff have become so thread

ones is some new form-oall it reci-

This is even more trouble for
the high tariff people. The Free

leather manufacturers, is also on

movement to get rid of the obnox-

the repeal of this section of the

Perhaps there is no more signifi-
cant proof of the popular repug-
nance for subsidy Legislation than
the continuous effects of its advo
oates to SO sugar, coat the dose az
to disguise it's obnoxious features.
Senator Frye insists that the Ship
ping bill will only be modified To-
meet the views of the friends OF
the principle of subsidies. The
principle of subsidies is to take
money out of the general pocket
and transfer it to private pockets
Any notifications that find favor
with subsidists will probably take
the shape of admitting moro in
terested parties into the game and
bringing to bear heavier pressure
in Congress.
