GTyeand and Hill omitted from their
recent harmony dinner. The colonel

pany for accepting The
Tribune's suggestion of
reference to arbitration Of the diff
fererces in opinion between it and it's
union employees relative to the mean
ing of the written agreement upon
which the last street car strike was
settled.
The issue was peculiarly one for ad-
judcation in this manner While the
agreement is in black and white, one
phrase in it is interpreted in one way
by the company and in another way
by the men. That is the phrase length

iority is to dAte from the time of the
beginning of the last strike, as the
company claims; or does it antedate
the strike. as the men claim, and as
they allege that they We're led to be-
lieve when they accepted it? Neither
the company nor the union is qualified
to decide this point without bias. AS
we'll might plaintiff and defendant in
court serve as Jurors in trial of their
own case.

The Tariff Reform Slogan.

Edward M. Shepard, the last Tam
many candidate for mayor of New
York, thus set forth his view of the
paramount issue:
No one can read what is today written,
or listen to what is said in every part of
the United States, without perceiving
that the dominant question is whether
or not there shall be continued to num-
ber of great and enormously rich inter-
ests the special privileges which the Re-
publican tariff confers upon them.
If the ideals OF political life and ma
tional development for which the Repub-
lican administration stands shall sue
ceed, the interests Of the middle classes
and wage earners will, in independence
and enduring welfare, be subordinated to
the great mOnnpolistic interests which the
Republican party has built up and which
the Republican party would make still
more dominant.
The American people. are today thor
oughly ready TO deprive the great mon
opolistic interests of the country of the
special tariff privileges which they enjoy.
Upon the reduction or abolition of duties
upon articles whose manufacture or pro-
duction is today effectually monopolized,
the American people are overwhelmingly
agreed. Nothing but a blind fear of any
change whatever, or a false charge that
the Democratic party is inmical to prop
erty. or an irrelevant issue of military
glory or dishonor, can prevent In Novem-
Der verdict at the polls which shall
speak that sentiment Such a measure of
reform is dangerous to no legitimate or
wholesome interest 1t is truly conser-
vative, for it Will help to prevent the
very possible catastrophe of a passion
ate and reckless treatment of our econ
omio problems in that future, when there
shall press upon us the hard times which
must sometime come and which Repub-
lican measures are fastening on. Such a
reform would prevent the garing and
extensive outrage of the sales by great
monopoles of American-made products to
foreigners at prices far less than those
at which American customers may buy
them. If the Democratic party in select
ing its issue, defer, as 1t Is bound to do,
to the popular will, it has no choice. The
issue of tariff reform is irrevocably at
the forefront.
The tariff is declared by high authority,
and truly, to be the mother of trusts"
If the progeny do not all belong to- the
and conservatively with the gigantic in
fant industries which admit that parent
age. In every case where a protective
duty upon commodity has created sin
gle fortunes of hundreds of millions and
built up vast aggregations of capital
controlled by a few men, surely the USE
fulness of such duty is at an end Upon
this at least Americans may agree. how
ever they may differ upon theories of
free trade or protection.

of the people, and the duty of Demo-
Gratis to oppose themselves against
arlstocratic tendencies is probably to
avoid the perils of factional cataclysm;
but it contributes nothing to immedi-
ate party enlightenment as TO the route
to the loaves and fishes.
Far more pointed and practical was
the speech of the ex-Tammany mayor
atty candidate, Edward M. Shepard.
He hoisted without apologies the old
fashioned standard of tariff REFORM"
dr,bbed the Republican party for It's
alleged subservience to monopolies and
trusts, and urged his fellow Democrats
to sink all other differences in a unified
attack on the protective tariff. We are
inclined to agree with Mr. Shepard in
thinking that If the Democracy has
any chance to carry the coming con-
gressional elections it Is along this
line; but we differ from his estimate
as to the dimensions of that chance
The plain people, and especially the
people of moderate means, who earn
their livelihood by daily toll, share the

should not be unfairly Influenced by
great corporations and that tariffs not
needed for the protection of home in
dustry and labor and existing as aids
to the overcharging of home consumers
should be reduced. We think that the
Republican party is pretty thoroughly
permeated by this belief.
Where they take issue with Mr..
Shepard Is in the opinion that Demo-
cratic congress would afford public re-
lief. The Democratic party's record as
tariff reformer Is against it, The
Democratic party's cure for high tariff
Ills has been proved in sad experience
to be worse than the disease. Its idea
of reform is to cut and slash and when
last it had its chance to try it's hand,
it pretty nearly killed it's patient. 4
quack doctors aluring promises cease
to be allurng after his victim has been
malpracticed almost into the grave.
No, tariff reform on Democratic
prescription blank will not command
the confidence of the country. it may
suffice to bring together temporarily
Democrats lately in discord, but it's
efficacy will end there. Some other
paramount issue will be needed to
swing majority vote.

Since the election of 1900 the trusts
have grown and flourished under the Re-
publican administration, as might have
been expected. Almost two years have
elapsed since the last presidential cleo
tion. and no legislative attempt has been
made to interfere with them, and the
executive efforts, instead of being di-
rected toward the enforcement Of crimi-
nal statutes, are confined to the equity
side of the court and these efforts have

In 1900 the action of the Republican
party in turning Il war commenced for
humanity into a war of conquest com.
PEELED the consideration of another Ques-
ton-a question so farreaching in its
consequences that our party rightfuly
declared it to- be the paramount issue.
Without abandoning its position on the
tariff question or on the money question
it again espoused the peoples side of a
great issue. That it did not win that
year was due to Il conjunction of causes

The administration, having carried on
a brief and successful war. fell heir to
the enthusiasm which usually attends a
victorious conflict; an unexpected in
crease in the supply of new gold and an
unexpected influx of European gold, due
to large crops here and IA famine abroad,
inoseased prices, relieved the stress of
hard times and gave to the people the
benefits that always flow from Il grow
ing volume of money. While the adj
vantages which followed a large volume
of money yindicated the principle con-

The Republicans were greatly aided by

they expected from = geld standard and

LAWS PROPOSED FOR
PROTECTING BIG GAME

The present congress may be called
upon to devise ways and means of
protecting the country's game.
National supervision is thought by
many sportsmen TO be the best way
to prevent the violation of the laws
that now are enforced only within
the boundaries of each state.
Of a national law, Thomas Martin
dale. who has hunted furred and
feathered game from the Arctic re-
gions to Florida, said recently:
Il am decidedly in favor of such a
law. In other words, L favor placing
the United States in complete super
vision. Such law need not interfere
with state or local laws, which de-
mand the payment of license to per-
NIT man to hunt.
Zone great good which would come
of this would be the placing of United
States officials in charge, and they
could follow offenders into any state
and make examples of those who per-
sist in fiagrantly violating every rule
laid down.
Personally, l would favor the i'm
position of license, some small
amount, say. for shotgun and n diff
ferent amount for rifle. The money
thus collected would defray the eX-
penses of government supervision,
ana besides, the plan would have the
effect of keeping guns ont of the
hands of boys and irresponsible men.
England has such n law, and it
seems to work very well. Americans
know, learn TO shoot younger than
the boys of any other nationality, and
for that matter TO shoot straighter,
which is all very well. But l believe
that any parent will be willing to Sc
cure for his boy a moderate priced
license when the boy is able to handle
a gun. and the fact that the govern
ment insists on proper protection for
its game will have the effect of MAX
ing of each embryo gunner sports
man in the full sense of the term.
1t seems. too, that the time must
come when the government Will be
forced to take charge of the use of
new high-powdered rifles. This year
heard of Il fatal accidents in Maine
and eight in Brunswick. One man
shot at deer and the bullet went
through the animal. through a tree
and half a mile farther on struck n
man in the neck and glanced upward
into the top of his head.

best, and to send in all directions bull
