Tarin revision Of an extremely moder-
ate sort. 10y the Fifty-ninth Congress
when it meets I'm regular session year
hence. is the way the agitation OF this
political subject in various parts of the
country im?Fesscs Senator Foraker. He
is rot alarmed by declarations Of strong
TevisiOnisJs that. unless an extra session
is called next spring, the revising pro-
cess viii come so close 10 the next Con-
Gressionai elections that the Republican
majority in the House VIII be imperied.
This is a part OF the political game, he
well knows, bat his Judgment is that
while alterations in the Dingley sched-
ules VIII come, they viii be SO slight
eventually that the country will easily
aceustom itself TO them, without danger
Of such dire industrial consequences as
the revisionists predict.
After campaigning extensively
through the Industrial States of the
Union in the past few months, Sena-
tor Foraker is in an exceptionally good
position 10 speak of the trend Of
popular sentiment on tariff revision.
lie is well aware of the restlessncss
which pervades some parts Of the
country, where numbers of people
think the Dingley schedules need a
little looking after. Many Of the vot-
ers are convinced that numbers Of the
infant Industries OF that day have
grown to full size now, and no longer
need the same measure OF Govern
ment protection they have enjoyed in
the past
No Need of Haste.
Speaking along these lines at the Cap
itol yesterday. Senator Foraker said.
''rarin revision has been talked over
50 much that there is hardly anyIa.~s
new 10 be said about it. There seems
10 be an Increasing sentiment for revis-
ion. To be made by the Gr.tslds OF the
protective principle and / think some
action by Congress likely before very
long, bat not Immediately.
1T Is probable the subject will be
one Of the matters TO be taken up by
The F1fty-ninth Congress, and / think
that VIII be soon enough. When We
made the Dingley schedules they were
not intended To be proof against the pos
sibility of any change thereafter. If
any changes are now shown To be need
ed there ought 20 be no difficulty in
making the necessary Encouragement OF
schedules 10 suit the times.
There does not seem 10 me any neces-
sity for extraordinary haste In dealing
with the subject, however. and / hope
there Will be ne extra session for that
purpose ] d0-HOt think tie great extra
expense OF calling Tie new Congress
into session. many months in advance
OF its regular meeting. is demanded,
when the whole subject can be handled
Just as well al It's regular session a year
from now"
McCumber's New Title.
Senator McCumber Of North Dakota,
who has come back 10 Washington with
the full stock of health which is al
ways necessary for anyone who holds
the trying place OF chairman Of the
Senate Pensions Committee, il he ex-
rects 10 get through a winters work
without breaking doTn under the strain.
Is not "a radical stand-paJter nor yet an
ardent revisionist. He is, however, one
Of the original 'square-deal-crs, and
believes the tariff ought 10 De looked
into by faiF-minded men and the right
thing done under the circumstance.
North Dakota stands upon the dec
laration In the Republican platform of
room AT the Capitol yesterday. as he
raised his eyes frous a large batch %
mail on his desk The platform declared
that rates should be readjusted wh-n
conditions have so changed as 10 de-
mand alteration in the public interest.
our people in North DekOta, away from
the high protection centers. are most pa
triotic on the tariff question. Their
interests are agricultural far different
from thos. of their felloW-citizeus in the
great cities Of the East. There ought
10 be some changes, as on steel for
instance. but We are not claMOTing for
radical action. We are not staud-pat-
tiers. but We are not in TOO great a
hurry. either. 10 change schedules which
might AFFECT the general prosperity OF
the country"
