ASSAILING THE TARIFF.
Democrats Seem Determined to Force
Disturbing Issue.


Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the tariff
issue to the front In the presidential cam
paign. While Republicans will welcome
the discussion of this question, well
thousands Of votes to their majorities,
they cannot but regret the selection OF
the tariff as the main issue, because OF
the unfortunate influence it will have up
On the business interests of the country.
So far this year the presidential cam
paign has not blocked business and finan-
cial activity. Affairs proceed as usual.
In all lines of business there is a hope
fulness and confidence which is most en-
couraging. But il the country is to be
confronted with another visitation of tar
if revision agitation. with even a re-
mote chance Of success in the election,
there is bound to be great slump in
the Industrial world and corresponding
depression in all business interests.
1t is we'll remembered what happened
ten years ago. when, as President Roose-
welt puts it, 'the last attempt was made
by means of lowering the tariff to pre-
vent some people from prospecting too
much The attempt was entirely sue
cessful. The tariff law of that year was
among the causes which in that year
and for some time afterwards effectualy
prevented anybody from prospecting too
much. and labor from prospering at all.
Undoubtedly it would be possible at the
present time to prevent any of the trusts
from remaining prosperous by the simple
expedient of making such a sweeping
change in the tariff as to paralyze the
industries Of the country"
The people of the United States will
not soon court again the destruction and
panic of 1898. Once is enough for one
generation. There will be tremendous
vote against tariff legislation by the
Democrats.
The confidence of the country may
stand even throughout tariff revision
campaign. but it is risking a good deal
to raise that issue in the manner con-
tempated. They. however. have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. They
have got to have something to stand
upon, and complete failure in every other
attack made upon the Republican posi-
ton has driven them upon the tariff as
a standing outpost of 'Repubicanism
which can always be assailed. when
nothing else affords a convenient target

Some OF the landmarks Of historic
legislation created during President
Rooseyelt's administration are: (D Tn,

Republican Principles.
Senator Fairhanks's letter OF accept
ance IL document which appeals direct
" TO the business men and workers gem
orally II states clearly some Of the most
important. but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets OF the Republican
party in It's conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
to the entire country by the establish
ment OF the Bureau OF Commerce and
Labor. with a special department to deal
with corporations. the Senator points out
the first real attempt By the governments
to deal with tho trust problem. He clear
IL sees that the regulation OK the great

consistent course OF the Republican party
ia this regard.
AZ 10 our foreign policy Senator Fair

much TO be proud Of In the firm, conser.
vatiyc and thoroughly broad and Chris
tian policy which has been adhered 20
during the years Of Republican adminis-
tration. The tremendous expansion In
our trade, our foreign interests and In.
luence has been accomplished by peace
full methods. and no remote sign Of Wac
has appeared upon our horizon In the
years following the establishment OF new
National relations or our acquisition Of
vast territory In the far East.
In his enunciation Of the Republicans
idea OF the dcsirability OF closer trade
relations with our great neighbor, Cam
ada, the candidate for the Vice Presi-.
dcncy Is peculiarly happy. He Is plainly
for liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line to the north. He also
emphasizes the value of the "open door"
secured for US In China, and promises :
continuance OF the benefits Of that re-
suit OF our recent foreign policy.

iientia candidate Is strong paper. one
which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Amerf-
can people face to face, from one end
or the country to the other, In his very
lively campaign. 1t Is well, however, to

reason. In all these positions and as
President OF the United States he has
