It's the Riehr Idea.

The opinion comes from mary of
the democratic papers of the country
that zone of the strongest arguments
aside from the fact that it is right
in favor OF making the fight on the
tariff issue, Is that il offers the demo-
Gratis such an opportunity to unite
and conquer as has rarely been offer
ed"
The Advertiser. of Montgomery,
Ala. says: The republicans are not
in favor of Il protective system. From
the far east as well as from the far
west come mutterings of discomfort
and threatened revolt. They are not
united, and if democrats press them,
they must either stand pat on the
present unjust and unfair system. or
they must try to steal our strongest
card and play it themselves. In either
case. they are bound to ALLEVIATE some
of their strongest supporters, and we
don't believe that even the cohesive
power of public plumber can hold
them together"
And there is no denial of the fact
that this is sound logic and good
sense. 1t is not the Iowa idea,' but
the right idea.

AT THE WRONG WINDOW.

The Furniture Dealers should Apply
to the Steel Trust For Relief.
The Furniture Association of Amer
lea, a national organization of retail
dealers and manufacturers, held It's
first annual convention in New York on
July %. The meeting was attended by
200 delegates from all parts of the
United States Resolutions were passed
in favor of liberal tariff drawback laws
and OF reduction of the prohibitory
tax on alcohol Copies of these resolu-
lions were sent to Senator Aldrich and
Congressman Payne. Congressman Low
ering of Massachusetts, author of the
drawback bill which failed to get
through the last congress, was present
and made a speech from the standpoint
of a protectionist who is in favor of re-
duCiug tariff duties.
These furniture people are asking for
what should have been granted years
ago. Both the exorbitant tax on alco-
hol and the lack of proper drawback
laws are needless burdens upon indus
try. The tax on alcohol not only keeps
many chemical Industries out OF this
country. but greatly Increases the
prices OF thousands of drugs and medi-
cines to the people 1t Is so ridiculous
Iy high as to discourage revenue and
encourage Illicit distilling. 1t serves
no good purpose and many bad ones.
Drawback tariff duties should be
given freely to all manufacturers max
ing goods for export. No matter how
strongly we may believe in protection
and high prices for ourselves, there is
no sound reason why our manufacture
ers should be deprived of the privilege
OF making goods for foreigners at as
low prices as possible. This privilege
in no way conflicts with the theories
of protection and simply enables our
manufacturers to make more goods and
more profits and to give more work to
their employees. The only reason why
our drawback laws were not made
more liberal. by the passage of the
Lowering bill at the last congress, was
because of the opposition of the steel
trust, expressed in most emphatic man
ner through its Pennsylvania represent
alive to the chairman of the ways and
means committee. Scores Of ordinary
manufacturers appeared in favor OF
the bill at the hearings, but their ar
guments were wiped out by a word
from the great trust.
But while the furniture men are
right in principle they are mistaken
in methods. Instead of trying TO in
duce congress to grant fayors they
should apply directly to the steel trust.
which now dictates the tariff business
of congress-
The only hope for genuine tariff re-
form and for freedom from trust rule
is in the Democratic party. Until these
dealers are. ready to support 1t they
must be satisfied with what the trusts
choose to give them.
