PLEDGED TO REVISION.

1As Republican Party IL Committed
to Tari1 Reforn.
The platform on which the RepubllE
an party came into power In 1897 NJ
frmed the principle Of protection. but
declared:
I'VE are not pledged to any partlcu.
lar schedules. The question Of rates
is a practical question 1o be governed
by the conditions of time and Of pro.
duction."
This denial Of the sacredness Of any
particular schedule is said to have been
fashioned by Mr.. Mckinley himself,
who also framed the Republican plat.
form Of 1884, in which the party pledg.
ed itself Ito correct the inequalities Of
the tariff"
President Roosevelt said In his let.
ter Of acceptance:
"From time to time schedules must
undoubtedly be rearranged and read.
justed to meet the shifting needs Of
the country, but this can with safety
be done only by those who are commit.
ted to the cause Of the protective sys'
tenn"
The Republican party has never com
mitted itself to any set OF schedules
It has never opposed revision OF the
tariff when such revision recognized
the principle Of protection.
The ''stand pat" gospel which Sena'
tor Hale, Senator McComas, Speaker
Cannon and others are preaching is nc
part of the Republican articles Of
faith.
The Republican party is today com
mitted more strongly by its platform
and president to the doctrine of tartn
revision than it was committed In 1886
to the maintenance Of the gold stand
ard. Its obligations are no less.
As for the popular demand, 1t is un'
mistakable. All the Independent news.
papers in the country are insisting on
q reasonable revision. They are sup
ported by many Of the ablest and most
influential Republican newspapers In
the United States. Even the New
York Tribune, which for sixty years
has been one of the most influential
and consistent advocates in American
Journalism of the principle Of protec.
ton, is favoring readjustment Of the
Dingley schedules.
Should Theodore Roosevelt place
himself at the head Of the progressive
tariff revision elements in his party
the movement would Immediately be
come irresistible. The first Of his
many great opportunities Is within his
grasp.-New York World.
