Tariff Certain of Attack,

That the tariff question is to be an
active subject for consideration by Con
gress is hardly matter of doubt. The
Philadelphia manufacturers. the Home
Market Club and the Protective Tariff
League may fight against the demands
for change, but large and powerful
element in the Republican party will
join in a demand for free raw mate
rials. if nothing more, while the Demo-
crafts will be ready TO fight on old lines
The necessity of a reduction in the rev.
enues will also have great weight. The
fiscal year is closing with an uncom-
fortably large surplus, and so great is
the increase Ia trade that a big balance
promises to remain tc the governments
credit on July l, 1902. The petty re-
duction of war taxes will not offset the
economies to be effected by the with
drawal of troops from the Philippines
and Cuba. and the constant growth of
internal receipts. Such surplus would
be menace and would encourage fur
ther extravaganza in pensions, If in no
other direction. There l., likewise the

ufactures. and this operates without re-
Spect to party.
The fact that trusts are encouraged
by the Dingley tariff is the final ar
gument for revision. and this will not
down at the sneering of prOtectiOnists.
The case against the tariff from this
itself. as Prof. w. G.. Sumner shows in
an article on The Economics of
Trusts" lie discusses the trusts con-
servatively. but points out cOnclusively
how the protective tariff aids these
great Industrial consultations. He
says:
THE protective tariff surrounds the
home market with tax-barrier to ex-
clude foreign products which are emu
merated in II. All the industries which
produce the enumerated articles are
artificial mOnopolies, or may be made
such by combining all the establish
ments in each line. Ii they are not
combined, but compete with each other,
they may. and often do, waste all the
advantage which the law offers them.
They, therefore, have the strongest in
ducement to combine. and this induce
ment is heightened by the fact that II
they combine they can use the home
market up to the limit of production Of
fered them. and can sell the surplus in
a sacrifice market outside. The tariff
then acts as great bounty on exports.
and the larger the expectation of pro-
tected commodities the greater the gift
which the domestic consumers are CIV
ing to foreign consumers. The difficult
ty of managing a protected industry is
greatly lessened when it Is brought into
this form. The protective system,
therefore, exerts a constant pressure on
all the industries affected by it to drive
them into the trust FORM"
Such reasoning as this cannot be con-
troverted. The people demand that IL
we must have trusts they are not to be
protected from competition from abroad
at the same time they are unloading
their surplus stocks on foreign mar

When you hear the kitchen boiler

Mpi, Mckiuley'a Lottery,

Nearly two hundred thousand poor
devils have gathered on the Indian
lands which the President will open
for settlement tomorrow. Thirteen
thousand of them only can secure
homes. The other 1000 are doomed
to bitter disappointment. An army
twice the size of the imperial force In
the Philippines is camping round about
the reservation in hunger. Destitution
stares this great host in the face and
armed troops menace the wretches who
had hoped to find chance to toll. All
except the lucky 1900 are to be or
dered out. But where shall they go?
may be driven by their poverty or by
Federal bayonets. Yet there is room
enough for all of them and for more on
the land which has thus been put in
the way of a lucky few. On the basis
of Belgium's population per square
mile there is room enough on these B.
250 square miles of rich soil for 1880,
900 persons-twenty times the number
of all who have rushed to take their
chances in this grand yet pitiful grab.
Uncle Sam might dispose of his do
main on better basis than that of
lottery in which there is but one chance
in fifteen for n prize. If the public
land of the country belongs TO all the
people of the country-and that is the
accepted theOry-we cannot see by
what right the President fixes up a
scheme whereby it falls into the hand
of few at merely nominal figures.
Why should not those who want to
use the land pay the rest of us for the
exclusive privilege of so doing? Why
should not the rights of the rest of us
be considered and conserved? These
lands have Il value. This value does
not belong to the 1900 lucky ones who
will grab it. 1t does belong to the
community. And it could be taken in
the form of tax in lieu of all other
taxes with absolute justice to all con-
cerned.-JohnstcWn Democrat.
