liberal and progressive adaptation of
the policy OF protection to- industrial
conditions.
Chicago Post, that the resolution.
which followed a preamble OF several
articles making clear the clubs point
of view. was prepared after careful
consideration by the committee on po-
litical reform. body of thoughtful
and conservative republicans. Ii is
the work of men who reflect the feel
ings of the rank and file of the party
much better than the. professional pol
iticians.
And il is also evident that the action
of the club is in no sense antagonistic
to protection. The Union League is as
firmly devoted TO the general protec-
tive policy now as it has been at any
time in its long history of thorough
going republicanism. The preamble
affirms belief in protection. recites the
charges, now in wide CIRCULATION, that
some schedules have been outgrown.
and faces the fact that tariff abuses,
if they do exist, tend to create dis
content and 10 prejudice people
against the whole tariff.
There is constantly increasing pop
ular impression that the present tariff
schedules-in some particulars, at
least-are not beneficial to the whole
public. Such an inquiry as that sug-
gested by the Union League club
would bring out whether or not this
feeling is well founded.
And said investigation. let it be said,
for the Posts information, would prove
that the tariff is about as much in need
of attention as anything before con-
gress.

IL would seem that they are having
an unusual era OF prosperity down in
Buenos Ayres. where shirts are sell
ing at S75 and 800 per dozen. and
derby hats at 81 each. with other
prices In proportion. For in Buenos
Ayres. as elsewhere. prosperity IL es-
timated By the rate Of prices. and If
goods are sold at the highest rate IL
matters not at all that you do not
have the money 10 purchase them. Our
worthy minister TO Argentine. who
communicates this intelligence Of the
reign OF prosperity. admits that the
last time he laid in a supply OF shirts
he wondered IL the popular idea Of
prosperous times might not be at fault
after all.
