senator Morgan and the Tariff.

Senator Morgan is right IN his state
UeUt that the tariff is the great ecunO-
mic question now before the country,
and he is equally right in some of the
things which ne says respecting it,
There is no doubt that The extreme dev-
Ctees Of the protective system-those
who make a fetch Of it. and they are
many. viii do everything I'm their power
to prevent any modification of the
DiuSley law. He is emineutly sound
in the opinion that protective tariffs are
essentially unjust and unequal in their
operation. and il admits Of no doubt
that with all their assumed brayaEo.
the Republican leaders are considerably
worried over The questions Of reciproc-
ity and revision.
i is not so clear though. that the
Senator IS right IN his ilumstion that
reciprocity vilI-dO no good. and that
nothing is 20 be gained by knocking "a
hole here and there ia The tariff. II
must be remembered that the tariff
does not deal with a single sU0ject-mat-
ter. but with an immense mass OF de-
tails. Even in "a general revision, each
schedule and each item viii be taken up
sinGly. The most complete revision
possible would be merely the removal
of some unnecessary duties. and the
lowering Of others that are now TOO
high. In short. il would be knocking
holes into the tariff here and there.
To SO change the tariff schedules as
to carry Us at one step TO a free trade
basis is about as nearly impossible as
anything in public affairs can be.
Whatever individuals may think. IT rs
clear that public sentiment is not ripe
Tor 50 sweeping a change But there IS
a widespread belief. even among Re
pUbhcans. that the law. as it now
stands, is fun Of abuses which ought
10 be eliminated Every obnoxious fea-
ture which can be removed makes the
system by just SO much the better
Therefore. i'm the interest Of the coun-
try as a whole, and regardless Of strict
party considerations we should look
with favor uuon everything that tends
to the mitigation Of the great evil com

Twenty-Five years ago. if anybody had

sad failure Of the British in South A1ri-

Circulation statement.
Reciprocity and the Trusts.

1t Is reported that the American Iron
and Steel Association Will not be repre-
scented at the Reciprocity Convention 10
be held in this city. The inference is that
the association mentioned is opposed
10 reciprocity. No doubt it is. and we
are safe in concluding that every other
trust interest ia the country feels the
same way.
The obvious truth is that the tariff
in its operation has created conditions
which make it exceedingly difficult to
carry out any measure Of reform re-
speCting il. The less an industry re
quires protection the stronger it is FIN
ancially, and the more potent its iuflu-
euCe in maintaining the existing status.
It has been shown that The Steel Trust
is selling for export at prices about
twenty-five per cent below those charg-
ed at home. 1t has also been stated
upon what appears to be excellent au-
thoTity that the trust can lay down its
products in England more Cheaply than
the English manufacturers can. Under
such circumstances it is as clear as
light that there is no occasion for pro-
tective duties on such goods as the
trust produces. The only object in
maintaining the duties is to enable the
trust TO charge outrageous prices in the
home market.
The same undoubtedly is true with
reference TO boots and shoes. on this
line our manufacturers are invading
foreign markets 10 such an extent as to
create positive alarm. Only a few days
ago q great meeting was held in Vienna
10 protest against the importation Of
American boots and shoes. II can be
affirmed with perfect assurance that
JL,S- -gods are also sold for export at
a heavy reduction upon the price charg-
ed at home. And SO with many other
things. As yet our sales OF such arti-
cles are comparatively small. for the
reason that the home market, being by
far the best one. the most OF our manu-
features are sold here But the sur
plus is constantly increasing. ana this
il IS that SO alarms other countries.
The tariff gives the great trusts an
advantage which they viii not readily
surrender. Therefore. the policy of reel
Procity viii encounter their opposition
ct every stage, and naturally they VIII
Cooperate with each other They feel
that they must stand or fall together
If one interest has TO suffer a cut in the
duties by which it is protected and
pampered, naturally it viii feel that
others should be treated in the same
way. And 50 it should. There can b
no denying SO plain a truth. The com
bined interests that are the chief bene-
ficiaries Of the tariff. viii fight both
reciprocity and tariff revision at every
step They may succeed in defeating
both, but in doing so they viii be very
likely to open the eyes Of the people
and pave the way for something more
radical than either. At this time every
sign visible foreshadOws q contest over
the tariff that in point OF interest will
be second TO none that has ever taken
place since the issue first arose.
