Bisbee daily review., 1905-08-11

THE is soon to meet ia Chicago with the suspected intention cf stirring deeper into questions of government revenue and tariff taxation. He will not be reIresentec by any member of his of ncisl family. lie even intimates that he hopes not to be embarrassed by the necessity of declining an invita- ton to have anything whatever to do with it.
 And yet the platform on which Mir. Roosevelt was last fall elected to the presidency on a popular plurality of 2.5o0.O0O, a popular majority of 1.7OO- 900 and an electoral majority of more than two-thirds declares in favor of reciprocity. There is. of course, a pro tection string tied to the declaration, but. equally of course, everybody knows that there is no necessary quar- rel between Dingleyism and reciproc- ity bargains. This plank of the repub iean platform of 1904 is worth a mo ment's attention at this time. Here it is:
 We have extended widely our for eign markets. and we believe in the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension, including com mercial reciprocity wherever recipro- cal arrangements can be affected con sistent with the principles of protec- ton, and without injury to American agriculture, American ia0or or any American industry
 Extension of markets is just the thing that is needed by our manufac. turing as well as by our agricultural interests, for our productive possibili- ties have already become so fruitful as to overflow the home market. Ex- change of products is the essence of trade. People as a rule prefer to buy in the markets where they sell. Coun- tries which the Dingley tariff forbids to sell to us cannot to the best adyan- tage buy from us. Why. then. in the face of its party declaration, does the administration balk at the Chicago meeting which has behind 1t strong sentiment and large producing interests.
 The practical answer is that the re- publican party is already seething with an ill-suppressed and ultimately conflict between what it's ! 7otaries believe to be the sane princi- | ,les of moderate and reasonable pro ection and the wild excesses of the )ingley prohibitive schedules. When .ver and wherever these opposing jews are allowed to come into clash he party is split Republican leaders Ire wise in trying to steer their boat way from the rock of tariff discuss on. Two years ago Iowa republicans declared against the monopoly foster ng features of the Dingley tariff; Da- id B. Henderson rebelled and the pa hetic fate of Henderson is not lost up 'n other leaders.
 It is not easy to see how the republi- ,ans are to avoid the tariff in the ex- ira session of congress that is to meet n November or in the long regular ;ession that will follow. The govern nent's income is running behind. Something must be done to restore the ,alance. Secretary Shaw, whose sand s running low in the treasury hour ,lass, thinks it would be a good idea o pile on little more internal reye- tue taxes; but except as war meas Ire that form of taxation has always ,een odious to the American people yhen it has gone beyond spirits, beer md tobacco.
 Speaker Cannon wants to put the economy brake down hard, and MT. Speaker in next to all-powerful over republican action; but he does not know the temper of the new house. Let him remember Henderson
 The republican party may expect to encounter rough weather in the Fifty 1 ninth congress and in the elections which will decide the membership of the Sixtieth.
