ONE WEAK SPOT

In an otherwise strikingly strong
and courageous message TO Con
eress, President Roosevelt weakens
perceptibly when he touches upon
the tariff. His references to this sub
ject are in such striking contrast to
his dealing with all other subjects
discussed that one is led to wonder
il there can he some hypnotic power
in protection, as it is technically
known in politics, for verify il seems
that when this ''old man of the sea
has once fastened itself upon an indi-
vidual there is no shaking him off.
We must confess, however, that we
expected Mr.. Roosevelt TO give the
old fellow a mixed drink OF his cour-
age and independence such as would
put him to sleep for some time to
come. But is he, too, to be scared
off bv the old cry of Gree trade, or
tariff for revenue only, which under
Democratic construction was It's
practical equivalent? Ii he is, let us
assure him that these ideas have
been wiped out of the Democratic
party long ago, and all that even
that party is now asking is such a
reasonable regulation of the tariff as
will prevent the sale of commodities.
manufactured in this country, being
sold by American manufacturers III
foreign countries at a smaller price
than they are sold at home, and
that, too, after the payment OF
freight. OF course, we would not eX-
pect the present Congress to under
take the job of tariff regulation. 1t
isn't built that way, but it would
have been particularly refreshing II
the President had measured up to
his usual standard and not only
recommended such changes as ought
to be made, but given his reasons
therefor.
For once, at least, Mr.. Roosevelt
has lodged the issue; but let US hope
that he proposesto take the matter
up again when he has disposed OF
his rate bill. One thing at a time
and that done well, is a very good
motto. but We want some assurance
that, to our mind, the more impor-
tant matter of tariff regulation will
have its day.

THE FIRST TARIFF GUN

Probably the most important
measure introduced in the House OF
Representatives on the opening day
was the bill presented by the minor
ity leader, John Sharp Williams,
providing for maximum and mini
mum tariff rate, the former to be the
present Dingely rates and the latter
these rates after twenty per cent.
reduction. 1t is unnecessary to eX-
plain that this reduction OF twenty
Der cent. which Mr.. Williams bill
provides does not represent the Dem
ocratic idea of proper reduction, but
is siuply a provision for partial and
temporary relief and at the same
time meant to be test OF Republl-
can sincerity in advocating tariff re-
form. The DiDgley rates were ad-
mitted by Mr.. Dingley himself. prior
to his death, to be twenty per cent.
too high and were made so III order
that there might be margin over
and above what Mr.. Dingley and his
associates deemed adequate rates
for the negotiation of reciprocal re-
lations with other countries. We
have very little idea that Mr.. Viii
liams will succeed in effecting the
passage of this measure, but it may
pave the pay to action OF some kind
in regard to a reduction. With the
reciprocity sentiment strong in Mas
sachusetts, with the Cummins' idea
largely backed in Iowa and the Mi
die West, and with LaFOllette agi-
tating lower rates in Wisconsin, 1t is
hard to understand how the Repub-
lican party can face the country ii
this Congress, which is Overwhelm-
ingly Republican, should fail to give
some real and adequate relief from
the burdensome schedule contained
in the Dingley bill.

Mr.. Williams is said to be based up
on the fact that he is not friendly to
some OF the Virginia members, and
this seems to be his method of pun
