FRIDAY. NOV. 1.

William Mckinley, in thu
speech delivered the day be
fore he was shot, said that E;
tariff revision was needed
He said thatitwas not expect
ed that a country could al.
ways. sell, and never buy
Congressman Babcock, chair
man of the republican con-
gressional committe, is. a
strong believer in Immediate
tariff revision, and a large
section of !: the republican
press processes to be the
same way. The mossback
element in the republican
party is opposed to touching
the sacred tariff, however, al
though it has been proved
over and over again by repub-
lican speakers and republican
papers that the present tariff
is full of inequalities and
wrongs, that it enables GER
tain interests to sell their
products abroad at a less
price than at home, that some
iniq uitous trusts base their
strength on tariff schedules.
w. D. Washburn's strong
indictment of the present
tariff was approved by many
republican papers, including
the leading republican papers
of the Twin Cities. If demo
cratic papers were to criticise
the present tariff, half as
much as many. republicans
do, there would be a great
hullabaloo. Of course it
wouldn't be in style now to
call the democrats friends
of England, land ''disciples of
the Golden club, as ofold, be-
cause>everybody knows what
party has been England's
friend in the last four years,
and it is not the democratic
party. The tariff fight in the
republican ranks will be in
teresting, but net effective to-
ward revision; unless a way
can be found to. secure new
sources for campaign funds,
and dispense with the old. ".
