A MISUNDERSTANDING.

It is clear that there is a misunder-
standing among Republicans as to the
position that was occupied by Pres-
dent Mckinley on the subjects of tar
if revision and reciprocity, as outlined
in his last speech-the speech deliver
ed at Buffalo. That this is so was
clearly brought out in the Republican
State Convention of Massachusetts,
last Friday. One of the delegates,
Mr.. Fits. introduced a resolution ia
voring tariff revision. 1t was model
ed after the resolution on the same
subject adopted by the Iowa Republi-
can Convention. There isn't much
doubt that the majority of the dele
gates favored it, but Senator Lodge,
who is supposed to voice the views of
the President on the subject of tariff
revision, opposed the resolution in an
eloquent impromptu speech, and de-
feated it.
The inference of course is that the
President and the Republican leaders
generally are opposed to tariff revi-
sion. And the inference is correct
Mr.. Fits resolution called not only for
tariff revision, but also for reciprocity
with Canada and Cuba. He took the
ground that President Mckinley was
in sympathy with the views expressed
in the resolution and that his Buffalo
speech showed that he was. He point
ed out that the New England states
were suffering from the trusts, and
that the country generally was suffer-
ing from them. He declared that in
his opinion the defeat of his resolution
would cost the Republican party many
votes, and there is good reason for
thinking he was right in holding that
opinion.
The demand for tariff revision in the
West, among Republicans as well as
Democrats, is believed to be very much
greater than Republicans are willing
to admit. The Republican leaders are
trying to hold their party in line, but
there are indications that they are not
succeeding as well as they would like.
Unless the Republicans take up the
work of revising the tariff while they
have the power to do so they are go
ing to lose control of Congress and the
government. And it is difficult to see
how they are going to take it up. Their
party is in the grip of the trusts, and
it is likely to remain there. They may
say that the tariff will be revised when
it needs revision, but that the revi-
sion will be made by it's friends, but
there will be no revision as long as the
Republican party remains in power.
The people know this, and it would not
be at all surprising if they should give
the Democrats majority in the next
House.
