4 great many Republicans would
favor a revision OF some Of the tarin
schedules II Il did not mean a general
revision. The country Is In very
prosperous condition, but II could not
stand the uncertainty OF a reconstruc.
ton OF the tariff without serious EN-.
barrassment Those who are familiar
with the history OF tariff legislation
know that each section wants protec-
ton upon the things Il produces aud
free entry for the things It buys. The
farmer wants protection upon the raw
material he produces and no tariff NJ.
on the finished product be buys. The
manufacturer wants free trade on raw
material and a protective tarlff 20 pro
tect his finished product The laborer
wants the high wages which protec-
tlon gives. but he would like 10 pur-
chase with those wages things at the
free trade price.
And so when II comes to making
tariff schedules selfish interests are
always at work, and tho result Is al
ways a compromise. the product OF log
rolling and a measure OF doubtful ex-
pedlency. And these are facts which
make many statesmen doubt the Wis
dom OF ripping up a law under which
the country has prospered and Is pros
paring. Merchants and manufacturers
must have stable cnnditions.--Lancas

THE oNs GREAT QUESTION.
Tariff a Matte. OF Wages ard the
Scale Of Living.

One great central fact that should
stand head and shoulders above all
otherselements IN a discussion OF the
tarlff seems TO be entirely ignored In
Miss Tarbell's treatment OF the ques-
ton. That fact Il that first. lasN and
all the time. whatever the past history
may have been IN periods when the
subject of protection was but partially
understood. the tariff Is a question OF
wages and the scale OF living.
Miss Tarbell may not be aware Of
this. or. knowing Il. may not consider
Il worth mentioning as a part of the
story OF the tariff In our times. But II
Is. none the less. the one overshadow
ing arc OF the economic circle.
Those who attempt the overthrow
OF the protective policy Invariably en-
phasize the In portance OF low prices
to consumers and neglect the impor-
lance and value OF high wages aud a
high standard OK living. They refuse
TO recognize the wage earned as the
unit OF all thrift, The basis OF all pros
perlty; that upon the wage earned
must depend the ability to purchase
and the volume OF consumption. They
also fail 90 observe that a vast pre-
pondeFance OF consumers must first
OF all be wage earners. and that only
limited few of the idle rich are non
producers.
II the people of this country are 10
be won over 10 tbs cause % rec trade
Il should he upon q fair anu candid
consideration OF the question Whether
they are ready 20 throw away the
American wage scale and The Ameri
can standard OF living. both higher by
far than In any other part OF the
world That Is the question. ENag.
gorated statements OF errors or faults
in the earlier stages OF tariff making
are beside the mark. The thing 70
co~ossss Is the tariff OF to-day and
what Il has done and will 90 for the
American people as a whole. The
story which onits a recofd OF tariff
protected wages and n protection
standard OF living Is but a meagro and
partial history OF the tariff in cur
times.

An IndustrIal crIsIs: When7

In the current discussion as 20 the
outlook for continued prosperity vary
ing opinions are expressed by fnan-
clers, railroad men, manufacturers
and college presidents. The weight
Of judgment seems TO be on the side
of continued prosperity. This view Is
sustained by the fact OF a, power 10
consume equallng the power to pro-
duce. The power 10 consume rests
chiefly upon wages earned and paid.
Employment and wages are at high
water mark. WIN these conditions
continue? That would seem 10 be the
main question. Intimately related 70
that question Is the question whether
and when wages and industrial pro-
dnction are to be unsettled by tarin
reduction and reciprocity arrange
ments designed TO increase foreign
competition with American labor and
Industry. Given the date when tariff
revision downward and reciprocity In
competing. products shall have been
definitely determined upon. and II will
be much easier 20 guess at the date
when the present prosperity will be
followed by an industrial and com.
mercial crisis.
