against the machine lies the present
danger TO standpatism
Mr.. Roosevelt's agreement with Mr.
Cannon not to urge revision will not
necessarily blind congressman who
entertain radical views and indeed
represent radical constituencies; ;
and there are number of such in the
present house. The people at home"
should have something 10 say in this
session. and the people are pretty gen.
erally in favor of rectifying tariff
abuses If there is no general DISPOSE
ton among republicans throughout the
country 10 insist upon tariff legisla-
ton al the expense of Mr. Roosevelt
rate measure. il is equally true that
the vast majority of people. republi-
cans and democrats. would be glad of
vigorous discussion of a revision meas
ure. and if such a thing were possible
actual tariff legislation during the pres
ent session would be welcomed by the
country. Tariff revision in the actual
cannot come TOO soon. The country
only complaint on the revision score is
that it has not come soon enough, re-
tarded as il has been. by machine pol
itics. So far from dreading any i'll
consequence of revision. the people
strongly desire relief from the inequita-
BILE and mulcting schedules which do
actual and visible damage TO general
business
The bugaboo of injury to the busi-
ness interests which the Inquirer and
numerous other standpat organs are
once more raising in the interests of
the machine. is as the St. Louis Repub-
lie says. played out. The country is
not afraid of anything which may hap
pen to a select group of private monop-
Olies as result of taking from them
the means by which they rob the con
sumner The general business interests
of the community are loudest in favor
of altering discriminatory schedules
which invite tariff retaliation and trade
from other countries. The
reciprocity convention at Chicago was
a partial expression of the mind of the
substantial sentiment upon
the D.ngley tariff More significantly
and senatorial politics
have voiced the demand for
a.teration-and in this fact resides the
largest possibility of the republican
split in congress which the standpat-
tiers fear

Tariff Trouble Brewing.

1T is evident says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer in ill-concealed appre-
tension. that the democrats are go
ing To play politics The president
made no recommendations whatever as
tn tariff revision, but the democratic
prophet and director general of the
house made Il plain that the tariff
question would be brought up never
theless. Mr.. Williams apparently has
not learned that IL is best not to stir
up business interests with tariff revis-
ions unless absolutely necessary. and
certainly there is no condition "a pres
ent that calls for ripping the schedules
up ihc back. Which comment voices
the general and marked apprehension
NJ the standpat organs. They are NOV
ed to anticipate the trouble.
BY far the most eloquent feature of
Mr.. RooSevelr's message was what he
did r)l say about revising the Dingley
schedules. IL was an ominous silence.
