The Growing Demsn nd for Tari9 Re-
ductien Will sooner or Later
Prevail.

Those republicans that have been
advocating tariff reform, either
through revision or reciprocity, with
good deal of earnestness are not de.
lighted with the situation in the tar
IN field as they find it. They are con-
WINGED, apparently, that free trade,
or anything like it, is quite as OBJ
noxious to those who shape republic
On policies as IL ever was, and that
there is going to be no abandonment
OF the protective policy yet awhile.
II has become clear that any abate-
ment OF tariff taxation through re-
vision or reciprocity can be had only
by sacrificing the protected interests.
and none of these interests is will
ing to be sacrificed. Each OF the ben
efciaries of the protective policy is
entirely willing that any or all of the
others should make a sacrifcial Offer
Ing OF themselves, but he wants none
OF IT on his plate, thank you. says the
Bipghamton On. w. Leader.
This is, of course, generally speak
Ing. There are few individual cases
OF men who are prepared to forego
the protection on their industries for
the sake of the wider markets such
sacrifice would bring them, but a
large majority Of the representatives
OF those industries refuse to see the
matter in the same light. Mr.. A. b.
Farquhar. of Troy, Pa, a manufac-
turer of agricultural implements, long
ago took advanced ground on the tar
III question, and he is there yet, but
his views have not won sufficiently
wide acceptance to make them inn
pressive.
There is, of course, no doubt that
the tariff will be reformed sooner or
later. The demand for reform is
growing. and it will yet be too strong
10 be resisted. The movement to-
ward freer trade is checked some
what, especially in republicanism. by
rrofessed apprehension that tariff
changes will disturb our present pros
rerity. This argument falls readily
from the lips of those who have al
ways insisted. for political purposes
that the tariff law of 1893 brought
on the panic Republican prosperity
is sensitive and timid. and it is easy
TO brighten it away. But the time
is coming. and soon. at that. when
this and other arguments against the
abandonment of robber protection
will not serve. The national democ-
racy. united on this question, will be
able to make it uncomfortably hot
for the advocates of pickpocket tar
ifs.

OPPOSE THE SHIP SUBSIDY.
Popular Opinion IL Strongly Against
the Nefarious Republican
Measure.

In the recent action Of the Illinois
State Grange. renewing that body's
opposition TO the passage of the ship
subsidy bill, there is found continued
proof Of the fact that public senti-
ment is unalterably against the meas
ure in question and that strong pres
sure will again be brought to bear
in Washington to defeat the new bill.
says the st. Louis Republic.
1'tc basis of this unchanging oppo-
s;tion TO the ship-subsidy bill was
correctly stated in that sentence Of
the resolution adopted by the 1lli-
nois State Grange which declared that
the defeat of the bill was sought be-
cause the grange believed iii TO be
unwise and unjust and special legisla-
ton, designed to favor few moneyed
corporations at the expense Of the
general public"
All the special pleading possible to
the republican group backing the
ship-subsidy bill will not remove from
the popular mind this just conviction
that the measure is a syndicate meas
ure. placing a tax of many millions
upon the people in order that the
shipping corporations which inspired
the proposed legislation may be fur
Their enriched by subsidy. This truth
was made so plain in the Fifty-sixth
congress THAI the people are not like
~ to forget the teaching.
The present outlook. however, is
that the ships ubsidy bill viii be en-
acted into law. The republican party
is virtually pledged TO the passage of
the bill. President Roosevelt has.
with more or less directness. in
dorsed the measure in his message
to congress. The spectacle likely TO
be presented in Washington at an
early date is that of the passage OF
the ship-subsidy bill in the face of n
popular opposition which, under prop
er conditions, should make defeat GER
tain.

ARRANGING A TREATY,

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
 The war between Carnegie and J. Perpont Morgan over the National Tube Company will be settled amicably within the next thirty days, it is reported, by the purchase by the Carnegie Company of the National Tube Company. In the meantime however, both companies are in intrenching them selves for bitter fight if the peace negotia- tions fail
 The National Tube Company has always depended upon the Carnegie Company for it's steel billets and raw material. If the tube company carries out it's threat of with drawing it's patronage from Carnegie he will be compelled to find another market for his product. In order to do this he has threatened to go into the tube business, while he has already made plans to fight the National Sheet Steel Company, which is another withdrawing customer.
 In the meantime J. P. Morgan & Go. have purchased 75,000 acres of coal and iron lands in Greene County, Pa. The purchase was made in the interest of the National Tube Company and the Federal Steel Com pany in both of which J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller are interested. The idea is to be prepared to make these companies independent of the Carnegie Company in the event of war.
