Of Two Years Hence Outlook bright'
so Louis Stern, the new President OF the
Republican Club. intends that the ~ork
that the organization has been carrying
ON In the past shall be attended and EN-
l.rved during his term Of office. and that
the club shall be made q more powerful
factor IN the politics Of the city and the
State within the next two or three years
The club has already bought a lot for a
new and handsome house, and the plans
for the building will be adopted in a short
time. Since 1897 the membership, both
resident and nonresident. has been In
oreasing, and the organization Ia In salts
factory financial condition.
Mr., Stern regards the achievements OF
the club in the past as very gratifying,
and he thinks that It shares the bright
future which he believes the Republican
party has. A q merchant and business
man Mr.. Stern has studied the questions
OF policy that the Republican party has
10 solve, and in an interview yesterday
he said that 80 far as he could see there
was nothing TO cause alarm to Republicans
In the outlook.
-In the nation and throughout the State
and city the Republican party Ia united
and harmonious said Mr.. Stern yester-
day. There is nothing alarming IN the
outlook, and there seems to be no reason
why we should not continue In the pros
perity that the country Ia now enjoying.
There IL some talk about the revision OF
the tariff. II seems TO me that the best
thing to do with the tariff Is to let well enough
alone. Under the present laws all Of the

the law as II stands to-day. Under it the
country has been prosperous. more pros
porous than ever before in it's history. and
there seems to be no valid reason for chang
ing the conditions. / find that the business
men generally are satisfied, and that they
. ali feel that the best thing that can be done
with the revenue laws, 50 far as they re-
late 10 imports, ID TO let them stand as they
are. -.
1T Ia true that some industries could
stand a cut in the duties. but tc find out
which industries these are and the extent
Of the change they could stand would be a
difficult task. and one that would require
a great deal OF study and time to accom-
plish. 1t is a serious question with business
man whether the arrangement Of condi-
tons that would result from the discussion
Of changes would not more than counter
balance any good that might be done by a
change.
In reciprocity we rave a different ques-
ton. 1 think that We might with advan-
tage enter into commercial arrangements
with various nations, modifying our laws
in some extent TO meet notifications IN
our favor made by them. receiving CORE
~sponding advantages for all that We gave
u them, and making tue changes such as
would assist our business men without
iniuring any of them. This question is
one that would require a great deal Of ex-
pert study 10 solve. In order that no IN
t.rest should be harmed by the changes
that were made ia The laws. Tor II would De
