Most OF the clamor for tariff remov-
al which from time to time rises above
the din and. roar Of the industries Of
the busiest people on the globe. comes
either from those who expect TO profit
personally or politically by the
changes they urge. This clamor does
not come from the great body of the
farmers or miners. or from the men
of'the mills or factories, who have by
far the greatest interest in protec-
tion's results. II is assumed by a
certain class of statesmen" that peri
odlcal changes of the tariff must be
made. and that kind OF popularity
awaits the leader who will anticipate
the coming OF the next change-period
and will shout the longest and strong
est for its arrival. But in the opin-
ion OF a very large majority of the
American people these periodical
changes are not necessary. and are
far from being e.-IlancOeE

the other case a part Of the initiation

whether or not the great Republican

that Mr.. Bailey is fighting, and If the

In days gone by Richmond might have
boasted some prestige as a pie centre,
but ever since the Trigg Company
there commenced to use the Richmond

should. out of a sense of humiliation
and lost prestige. keep quiet.
Likewise, the Boston Globes grossly
immodest boast about the pie architec-

offensive to ones delicate sensibilities
when one reflects how the dreadful
effects of those pies has paralyzed the
vitality of the people until the native
population Is gradually dying out. But
