Gloucester County Democrat., 1905-12-07

The governor goes so far as to de-
clare without qualification, Both par
ties in this state desire it''-that is, s'im-
mediate tariff revision After all the
world moves.
Perhaps the most hopeful sign of the
times is the fact that Senator Henry
Cabot Lodges hide has been so far
loosened up by recent events that he is
now in favor Of free hides. After all
the world moves.
But SO far as the public has been in
formed the senator has not advanced
with Governor Guild to the point of be-
ing willing to yield any portion Of the
tariff on leather and leather products
IN order to secure free hides. The sen
ten class of tariff revisionists, but he
will probably grow in grace. There's
lot of room for it in his case. At the
present time he is in the same frame of
mind as the man who was willing to
sacrifice all his wife's relations in war.
But driven by both parties in Mas
sachusetts he may yet be leader in
the cause of tariff revision. OF course
that is long distance hope. but not too
fanciful for entertainment
Governor Douglas, however, seems to
entertain doubts as to securing relief
through Republicans This is indicat-
ed by the fact that dispatches an
nounce that he proposes to run against
Judge Lowering for congress- If so,
tnere will certainly be something doing
in that district
For awhile it was assumed that the
demand for immediate tariff revision
and genuine reciprocity could be stop.
ped by advocating a maximum and
minimum tariff, but Senator Aldrich
let the cat out of that bag by saying
that he was in favor of "a maximum
and minimum tariff-with the Dingley
rates as the minimum When they
read that tariff revisionists had to
pinch themselves to see if they were
awake. Recognizing the fact that Sen
ator Aldrich is the Republican czar of
the senate, they inevitably concluded
that if his maximum and minimum is
the measure of Republican relief their
second condition would be worse than
the first and that to follow him would
be the old and condemned performance
of jumping out of the frying pan into
the fire.
Republican tariff revisionists are like
ly to learn that their only hope is to
quit the company Of the stand patters
and to join hands with the Democrats.
