Il TARIFF ISSUE.
viii the Republicans Revise Their
Former creeds7

The fractional fight in the Republic
an ranks on the question of tariff re-
vision is becoming more and more
intensified. Secretary Taft has been
denounced as a free trader by Mr..
Wakeman, the secretary of the Pro-.
tective Tariff League, who says he
therefore will not bear the standard
of the Republican party next year"
Since the Wakeman declaration Secre-
tary Taft has come out openly for tar
if revision, thus defying the stand
pat faction Of his party. We may pre-
sumo that Secretly Taft did not take
this step without consulting Presi-
dent Roosevelt and that they agree
that the time has arrived to hurl def
ance at Wakeman, his Protective
Tariff League and the standpatters
generally. 1t will be interesting to
see the line up that will follow and
discover who is for revision and who
Is for letting well enough alone.
AS neither Secretary Taft, nor Presi-
dent Roosevelt, or indeed any Repub-
lican leader, has informed the people
of the scheme of tariff reform they
intend to support, it is impossible to
say how far they intend to go in re-
ducing the tariff rates that shelter
and protect the trusts. All Republic
an utterances on tariff revision, 80
far, have limited any proposed reform
to do nothing that will imperil the
policy of protection" and the last four
Republican national conventions have
reaffirmed "our allegiance to the pol
icy of protection" In 1904 the plat
form said:
Protection which guards and de-
velops our industries is a cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the main
tenance of the principle of protection,
and, therefore, rates of duty should
be readjusted only when conditions
have so changed that the public In
terest demands their alteration"
That plank also declared for cont
mercial reciprocity" but the Repub-
lican majority in congress refused to
ratify the reciprocity treaties, or even
to reduce the tariff on Philippine
products, which should have free en-
try as those from our other posses
sions do.
Have the majority Of the Repub-
lican leaders changed their minds on
the policy of protection or is the re-
cent declaration for tariff revision by
some of them merely to again quiet
the protests of those Republicans who
believe with the Democrats, that pro
tecting the trusts and combines is
nothing but legal %plundering of the
people?
The chief object in reforming the
tariff is to reduce the present high
cost Of living, and to accomplish that
the protection the trusts enjoy must
be reduced to the minimum that will
produce enough revenue for the gov
eminent. Until the Republican party
declares for such reform all their
tariff revision talk is but sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals.

It was almost a month later that
Aunt Seliny came home from Carmel.
There was a glow on her seamy cheeks

a paper in her pocket-a musty, vel

bands old secretary.
Abby, watching, as she did every
night, saw the stage stop at Aunt Sc

slope. Aunt Seliny was standing stock
still in the road, blinking in amaze

Abby appeared before her, flushed

"I-I felt sorry for the mischief

face quivered and broke like a winter
