4 Letter to S. W. Day.
Welsh La.

Dear Sir: Two years ago, Mr.
Grant Smith, Erie, Pa, painted three
frame houses, and the woodwork of a
brick house.
The painter estimated $ll6.5O for
the paint, lead-and-oil.
He bought Devoe S97.40 and re-
turned SLIGO. Saved $3l.10 on the
paint.
Don't know the cost of the work.
BY the rule, the saving of labor
would be from $50 to $50.
On all, from $50 to $l2O.
This is the tale, as il comes from
Messrs W F Nick q Son, our agents
there for 40 years.

the revenue needed, and as soon as that was accomplished they would put it down again. When the WAT had been over for number of years they did make some reductions, but they restored most of them before they lost control of the house in 1875. Since that time their revision has always been upward. at least, on competitive articles. Although under pledge to reduce the tariff as soon as the needs of the revenue-would permit. in 1890 they increased it on purpose to reduce the revenue. In the quarter of cen tnry between promise and the time for performance the raising of revenue had been dropped as the main object of a tariff bill. Instead of, revenue with incidental protection, the party had advanced to protection with inci- dental revenue. So long as that , rin- ciple is adhered to DO revision of tue tariff can be expected 70 reduce the burdens which it is now imposing It is not, therefore, a matter deter mined to abandon the scheme to revise the tariff at special session. As the party is now constituted and as it will be represented in the fifty-ninth con- gIess, it would be practically certain, if new bill ware framed. to make the situationlworse instead of better. It is better, no doubt, to stand pat on the Dingley act than to substitute for it any measure which wonld possibly receive the assent of the fifty ninth con gress.
 Such men as Henry Cary Baird are probably right in believing that at enc time Mir. Roosevelt was a free trader at heart, using the term free trader, as they habitually do. to denote anybody favorable to reduction of rates. But so was Senator Allison, of Iowa. a third of century ago. So have been many other men conspicuous in repub- licsn politics. But all such men have been compelled to bend to the control. ling sentiment of the party. or to get out of it. NIT. Roosevelt has a good deal of power and patronage. but he can hardly impose his will on an unwilling party in matter so fundamental as a reduction of the tariff. His statement that it is a mere question of expediency seems to indicate his recognition of the fact. The tariff will never be really revised, or reformed. in the in- terest of the whole people, until they give a mandate to that effect which can be clearly understood.

TARIFF REVISION

Tn salient fact with reference
 all the talk of tariff revision which has sprung up since the fall elections is that it is controversy among re- publicans. The democrats last year had some aspirations in that direction if they could captuI, the house and the presidency. They knew that even then they could take no decisive steps in favor of tariff reform, for the re- publican senate would block the way. But being overwhelmed in the fall elections the democrats were for the time silenced as to reform of the tarif. The subject was rescued from oblivion by the republicans who clam cred for revision. That is term dear to the republican heart because 1t is noncommittal. It is possible to revise without reforming, or reducing, the tariff. It may be revised upwards ss well as downward. Thus it hap pens that the very phrase tariff re- vision" is republican, It hints of changing the tariff by it's friends.
 This demand for a change following what was considered a standpat cam paign and victory is presented by those opposed to any change. They say that the vote at the November election showed that the counNy was satisfied with conditions as they were. There is plausibility in this. but it proves paign there are a number of questions concerning which the parties have made deliverances. It is, therefore, not so easy to say upon which Of them the successful party has 8 mandate from the people. In practice the party in power assumes that it has man, date to do those things which it de- sires to do and to neglect whatever it desires to neglect. This is made easier by the common practice of ''strsd-  ding questions of difficulty. That is what the republicans did last year with reference to the taTif. They declared, indeed, in favor of the prin- ciple of protection. To that extent they were united. They agreed that when the tariff is revised they ought to dc it. But from this point on they have been straddling. Some of them thought that revision should be imme- diate and pretty thorough. Others favored revision at some indefinite time in the future-say the Greek cal ends. Still others were opposed to any change at any time. As all these classes cooperate in giving great majority to the repu blican ticket they are not agreed as to what sort of man- date they gave. But as the standpst element made the platform, including the straddle, to suit themselves, there was reason to expect that they would control the action to be taken in con- gress. And that seems to be already vsrifed.
 This controversy is wholly repubIi- can As matter of course, if there were a genuine attempt among repub- Ecans to reduce the tariff to prevent it from serving as shelter for monop- oly"-a republican expression-it would oe the duty of the scheme which looked to betterment of exist ing conditions. But the democrats should avoid committing themselves to any scheme for revision in advance. because when entered upon it there is n3 means of foseseeiDg how it will turn out. When the republicans were putting up the tariff every year during the civil war. they said if was to get
