THE TARIFF QUESTION.

IL is a condition wnich confront
us; not a theory The trite phrase
was coined by Grover Cleveland in his
famous tarin revision campaign six
teen years ago. It applies again to
day. The tariff question once more
looms large upon the political horizon
Much concern has been felt over the
unsatisfactory balance of trade for the
last year In spite Of the high Dingley
duties, imports have increased enor
mously over exports
The cause lies deep There is al
most worldwide retaliation against our
high tariff Manufacturers Of sewing
machines typewriters. electrical ma.
chinery shoes and leather the growers
Of Dreadstu0s and fruits and the cat
lie raisers are beginning to appreciate
the effect of European high tariffs.
The boycott OF American goods iu
Chna threatens 70 assume serious pro
portions. The most delicate diplomacy
win be called for to save American
trade from loss Of many millions
year IN that direction alone,
Yet the situation In China is less
serious for us than that throughout
Europe
The inevitable loss Of large por
ton Of the valuable trade with Ger
many. unless the rigor Of her tann
which IS 10 go into operation next
spring. shan be mitigated. is having a
powerful effect upon all who are I'M
terested in that trade
Switzerland has a new tariff whose
max mum duties win be imposed upon
American goods
Austria-Hungary is expected to put
In operation soon a new tariff which
viii be prohibitory as regards a mum
Der of American products now largely
consumed there
Thus one European country after
another is adopting the policy of the
exclusion Of American goods unless
the United States will make conces.
sions to them by abating here and
there the extreme exclusivenss Of our
own tariff.
The interest in the reciprocity con.
vention which is to be held in Chicago
next month is increasing.
Announcement has come that Presi
dent Roosevelt has decided to call
special session Of congress on Novem-
ber IL ito act, " according TO one state
ment con some anti-rebste and other
railroad legislation and also for the
consideration Of tariff conditions"
There is no argument like necessity.
Congress may even consent to cut
OFF some Of the tariff-pap supply Of the
pampered trusts since the whole com.
mercial world makes firm demands.

We are all interested IN hearing
what the richest man on earth has to
say even though he talks like a phono

Like many another pious man before
him. Rockefeller took a few pol1es at

the Incorporate pse Of booze as though
that were the only devilish form Of in

OF course he urged everybody TO alb

Much depends upon what success IN
business means. and what ones no.
ton Of better society may be. If the
society that John ID. travels in is the
better society, there are many honest
people who viii stay out from choice.
And II success in business means to
accumulate many millions Of dollars
and at the same time attract the con.
tempt and hatred OF all humanity, then
the world is full Of men who are not
