HAS NOT CHANGED.
Pre"ident Mckinley Remains FIr.h Iu
His Former Position on the
Tariff Question.

The democratic newspapers are
making much of the recent statement
of NJ. Jules Siegfried. former mem
Der OF the ministry of France, that
President Mckinley had told him he
was no longer an ultra protectionist;
that 1T was neces sary for the United
States to fight for foreign markets.
and that a modification of the pro-
tective tariff would be necessary tn
accomplish that purpose.
While the president cannot be ex-
pected to make public statement
concerning the utterances OF NJ Sieg.
fried, republican leaoers who are ia
miliar with Mr.. McKinley's views have
promptly expressed doubt that he
ever made the statement attributed
to him. Senator Hanna says he
knows the president is in favor OF
protection; that he is opposed to ma
terial notifications Of the DingIey
law; and that if any concessions ara
to be made to European nations in
the matter of tho tariff they shall be-
through reciprocity treaties provid-
ing for mutual concessions. A men:-
Der OF the cabinet has made a similar
statement TO the Leaders Washing
ton correspondent.
If that is where the president
stands, and there can be no doubt
that his position has been stated cor
rectly, he has not changed within the
past ten years. The Mckinley law.
which was enacted i'm 1890, for the
first time gave force and effect to the
theory OF reciprocity, and reciprocity
has been one Of the cardinal prin-
ciples OF republican policy ever since.
OF course, the free traders are anx-
ious TO see the Dingley law broken
down. and they will doubtless attempt
TO bring about that result at the next
session Of conRress.-Clcvelan Lead.

MODIFICATION OF TARIFF.
reasonable Policy of the Manufac-
turers Regarding Reductions
In Certain Respects.

| The discussions which have taken
place in the National Association OF
Manufacturers are significant in that
most OF the speakers advocated the
adoption of the reciprocity treaties
now before the senate and a modi-
location of many features of the pres
emit tariff. A number of speakers
| said they did not need protection
Tor their industries. The only lead
ing industry making this statement
was that of boots and shoes. The
others were special industries Gov
cred by patents. Nevertheless, the
general tenor of the discussion was
Tor modification of the tariff on
| merchandise which does not need
protection. \ mum Der of conservative
speakers feared that great injury
would follow radical change in the
present tariff. Indeed, the tenor of
all the addresses wns in favor of pro-
lection as opposed to free trade.
still. the sentiment was in favor of
modification of duties and the ex-
tension of the theory of reciprocity.
Two classes of people may profit
by carefal study of the proceedings
of the association. One of these is
composed of the ultra protectionist :
who are now crying out against
those who have expressed the opin-
ion that the Dinglcy tariff. adequate
as ii was at the time of it's enact
ment to meet the conditions as they
then existed, should be modified to
meet the changed conditions. The
other class is composed of those who
call themselves revenue reformers.
but are, in fact, free traders, and who
are now breaking a silence of six
years by reiterating their heresies,
which every nation but one in the
world has rejected. Whatever modi-
hcations may be made in the tariff
II must retain its protective fea-
lures, because largely to the protect
i've policy the United States owes its
lead in the industrial world and it's
present prosperity. Nor must we, in
the citation consequent upon the
growth OF our foreign trade, forget
that the best markets in the world
are the home markets, and that it
would be folly for which labor and
capital would Say dearly to sacrifice
of competing in limited markets with
host of rivals. The principle en-
braccd in the resolution of the Ma
tionl Association of Manufacturers
is the true one. and is so well and
concisely stated that it is quoted. as
follows:
THE object OF tariff legislation should
be TO furnish adequate protection to such
products only as require It. without pro-
vidinS for monopoly abuses The tariff on
goods Of which the cost Of production is
higher in the United States than i'm foreign
countries should be at least what is neces-
sary 10 compensate domestic Industries for
the higher cost of production"
The foregoing is a reasonable poll
cy because it secures the American
market to our own people, which is
the present policy of every leading
nation except Great Britain, which,
because it does not return to that
policy, is losing ground. Foreign com
petitors, unrestrained by tariff du-
| ties, are wrestling British markets
from British producers.-Indianap
