Uselessness of Commissions.

The Industrial commission could not
complete its work with decency and pass
in silence over the tariff question. Ac-
cordingly the commission recommends
that congress without delay should create
another commission to study the tariff
question and OF course such changes
may appear practicable. Buy why an
other commission? The present commits
sion, with the data before II, Is capable
OF recommending such changes OF the
tariff without further waste OF time. Ex-
perience has shown the fuility of tarfr
commissions. with whose reports con-
gress gives itself no concern. This ques-
ton is going to be fought out on party
lines and the people will determine for
themselves to what extent they will carry
the Democratic policy of free trade. What
appears certain liz that the protectionists
will not be able much longer To prevent
the extirpation of the worst abuses and
iniduties of the Dingley act.-Philadcl-
