Democrats and the Tariff.

What is to be the attitude of the demo-
cratic leaders on the subject of tariff reVl-
sion? The republicans must take the ini-
tiative, but if they take it fairly; if the pur-
pose is clearly manifested to lower or lop
off excessive duties and equalize burdens
in such a way, should they not be sup
ported to that end by those of their oppo-
nents who have been criticising the high
duties? Would not any other course smack
more of merely playing politics than of a
sincere desire to relieve the people?
Men like Bourke Cochran may excuse
themselves on the score of their opinions.
They are opposed to protection in every
form. The Dingley law in their eyes is
defective throughout. 1t is based upon
wrong principles. What they desire is not
its amendment, but it's repeal They want
to see enacted in it's place a law founded
upon if it does not Immediately 1naugu-
rate. the principles of free trade They
can have, therefore, no interest. except to
oppose any work of revision. the republic
cans may approach, for the reason that
protection will still be kept in view and
the policy continued.
But the majority of the democratic lead
ers are not of this school. They make no
war on protection, but believe in the pol
icy They may differ with the republicans
as to certain details, but that is all They
are as much opposed to free trade as the
standpatters themselves. Mr.. German,
who leads this wing of the party, is as FAR
away from Mr., Cochran on the tariff ques-
ton as Mr. .Aldrich is. The Maryland SEN
ator wants neither free trade nor free raw
materials, and made a record ten years
ago on the subject which fixes his status
while he remains in public life.
What then, should democrats of the Cor
man school do If the republicans of the next
Congress, in special or regular session, show
a disposition to deal with the tariff in
spirit of adjusting the Dingley law to the
conditions of the present day? Opposition
for oppostion's sake-for the purpose OF
keeping the subject alive for 1906 and lDS-
might serve a partisan. but not national
or business, end. 1t might not serve even
a partisan end. for the demand of the peo-
pie is for tariff relief on business principles.
and not for the nursing of the issue by
politicians from year to year purely to pro-
vide themselves with catchpenny campaign

Westinghouse and the Inauguration

The Springfield Republican is evidently of
the belief that the people of Washington
look upon the Inauguration of a President
chiefly as an opportunity to make money.
1t recently remarked:
'To the permanent residents of Washing
ton Inauguration day is by far the greatest
and the most prOfitable-of the four times
500: They intend next March. if possible,
to have the grandeSt show In the history of
presidential inaugurations, and the Prest-
dent will need to have his weather eye open
to prevent them from turning him into a
kind of circus maximus."
Inauguration day is on the whole an oc-
casion of expense and discomfort to the
permanent residents of Washington. They
| must not only contribute heavily to the
funds for the decoration of the city and the
provision of facilities for the conduct of
| the ceremonies, but they must entertain
thousands of non-paying guests who stream
in from all quarters at that time. They
are glad to do both. That is their contri-
button to the great national process of
choosing President They cannot vote for
him; they can only see that he is inaugu-
rated fittingly.
The familiar proposition that Washing
ton profits heavily by these occasional
waves of visitors is based upon very slen-
der foundations. A few interests do gain
by the pilgrimage. The keepers of hotels.
boarding houses and restaurants, and the
street car owners find their earnings
swelled. But the great mass of the people
are out of pocket as rule.
Why. then. do the people of Washington
make such an effort to surround the inau-
guration of the President with an impress
sive ceremony and to make the city beauti-
full In the eyes of it's visitors? Because
they are patriotic Americans; because they
want to the one great national ceremo-
NAL maintained on a proper scale; be-
cause they take pride in their city and
wish the thousands who visit 1t at that
time to carry away pleasant Impressions of
the capital.
There is no occasion for alarm lest the
President may be transformed into a cir
Gus maximus' on the 18th of March. There
are no freak features In contemplation.
The inaugural proceedings will undoubtedly
move along oldfashioned lines, with a
grand parade, which will include represen-
tatives of the regular and volunteer ar
mics, and civilian organizations Of all kinds
| from all parts: and in the evening a ball
will be given probably in the pension Office,
at which the people may In measure pay
their respects to the President and enjoy
brilliant spectacle for a few hours. That
will be as 1T has been for years. If the
parade is somewhat longer or more gor-
geous than before it will be because of
the greater enthusiasm of the people of
the states, we'll directed by the local COM
mittees in charge. And for every item Of
display or entertainment afforded for the
vast crowd on that occasion hundreds of
Washingtonians will sacrifice time and
means with no adequate return

The Real Charity Problem.

One of the most gratifying reflections of
today Is that yesterday the poor were re-
membered in every city of the land boun-
tifully and practically and helpfully. A
list of big dinners given to the unfortunates
in coanmemoration of the day of Thanks
giving would be too long for printing. 1t
is impossible TO estimate the numbers thus
fed and cheered. or the money spent by
the charitable for this good purpose. But
1t is safe to say that if any man went hun

Generating the Trusts.
the Topeka State Journal.

From the Topeka State Journal.
The result of the election seems to indi-
cate that stories of trust contributions to
campaign funds were untrue The repub-
lican vote was too large to have been
bought, and big majorities were rolled up
in states that republican would have
thought of buying. The democratic vote
was so small as to warrant the conclusion
that the trusts did not invest on that side
since they got nothing for their money,
something that nobody would suspect a
trust of doing.
