Scientific" Revision.

The president, according to many re-
ports from Washington, is desirous to
have some of the tariff schedules revised,
in which the duties have been raised to
the unnecessary extent referred to by
the late President Mckinley in his men,
orable Buffalo speech, and he is insistent
that such revision, when it comes, shall
be on a "scientiic'' basis. That, Of
course, is the only kind Of tariff revision
desired by thoughtful people.
What that basis Is was shown before
the tariff commission of 1882, by one Of
the largest iron manufacturers in the
country, Mr.. Abram Hewitt Of New York,
still in the same business. Mr.. Hewitts
desire adequate protection for his prod
uct, and in his testimony before the tar
if commission he said: =. = s5z - .,
I'm regard to STEEL I suppose. eveyb body
admits that the duty on steel is out Of all
reason. It was very proper duty at the
time 1t was imposed. It was equivalent
to an ad valorem duty Of about 80 per
cent, and did not represent the real differ
ence in the cost OF labor: but in the prog
ress Of things and the development Of
business, it has now got to be duty of
about 100 per cent, and there is no justif-
cation for it from any point of view. My
own. standard for fixing the duties is, as
far as possible, to equate the price Of
labor between the competing countries.
You can only conduct business by impos-
ing such a rate Of duty as will compen-
safe for the difference in the cost OF
labor" a. ;Ts.-ss
This is scientific revision. Since Mr..
Hewitt testified as above, twenty years
ago, very great progress has been made
in the economic production OF manufac-
'tured articles In this country. The actual
cost has been very materially reduced.
The economies introduced by the United
States Steel corporation : which owns it's
own ore beds, owns its own transporta-
ton facilities, and has in hand an abso-
|lutely complete equipment for business,
give It such advantages that orders are
promptly executed, and cost OF 5produc-
|tion lis cut down to- Aluminium which
would enable the concern to face a con-
siderable reduction In duties on the sci
entihc basis without any possibility Of
impairment to its business. Mr.. Hewitt
| laid down the scientific principle OF tariff
revision twenty years ago in the lucid
manner shown above. It is, as the presi-
dent says, scientific revision which is
needed. ~. {.
The tariff commission before which Mr..
Hewitt testtned, although three .'of s Its
members Hayes, Garland and Porter
were high protection advocates. as the re-
suit OF their investigat ions, reported that
the duties were largely excessive and that
thigh duties have q tendency to create
rnents of capital and to cause a plethora
OF certain commodities, and the time has
come when q reduction from high wa rratea
can safely be made, and the increase In

The. Army.

In his annual report, Secretary Root
discusses, aruong other things, the re-
orsanizat ton Of the militia. The PROPOSE
lion to bring the militiaunder national or
panization has been talked about in war
department reports and in presidents
messages, in the newspapers and in army
and militia circles for eighty years, and
vet nothing satisfactory has been, accom-
plished.
Secretary Root argues forcibly the inn
portance Of such organization. He sug-
gests as fundamental idea OF the re-.
organization bill, the recognition OF the
value to the national government OF the;
national guard; nrst. as active militia
when called out by the president for the
specific purposes enumerated in the con-
sstitution; second, J. san already organized

AS to 4 constitutional Convention.

Some Of the members of the legislature

midable proportions. Admitting that the
constitution might he improved upon in
some particulars, it seems. like doubtful
wisdom at this time to push the matter
Of a constitutional convention. For one
thing, public sentiment is noe we'll enough
pronounced to give the state just what 1t

pared to- debate the affirmative of the
