LAFOLLETTE AS A TARIFF
REFORMER.

LaFOllette, having shifted the at
mosphere, has concluded that it is i'm
preguated with tariff reform and, he
now processes to be tariff reformer.
Little heed should be paid to the ex-
preston Of his sentiments on this
question for the reason that his act
ions on this and kindred subjects are
always guided by his ambition to Sc
cure office. Mr.. LaFOllette has no
clean cut convictions on the subject Of
tariff revision. When in Congress no
one shrieked longer or louder for ex-
cessive duties than he. 1t is seventeen
years since he was in Congress. Dur
ing these long seventeen years he has
seen the trusts grow up like mush-
rooms after a May shower, and has
had a golden opportunity to learn the
workings Of the protective system
which he helped to build up. During
all these seventeen years, and until
the desire to be president seized him,
he never peeped once on the subject of
tariff revision. Now he sees that it is
popular to denOUnce schedules, and
he is doing it simply because it is
popular, not because it is right. For
the last ten years he has denounced
railroads which everybody must ad-
NIT are the most potent factors in this
country in the upbuilding of its indus
tries, but has not said one word
against the tariff although he must
have known that the tariff is largely
responsible for the trusts which he
persistently condemns. The man who
remained blind to the upbuilding of
the trusts by the tariff for twenty
years or more, as Senator LaFOllette
did, and never noticed the work pro-
crossing until country editors and
farmers called his attention to it, is a
poor substitute for a vigorous trust
r.-Madisonian.
There is one very weak point about
all the tariff reformers of the
La Toilette kind. They invariably de-
clare their belief in the policy of pro-
lection before demanding tariff revis-
ion. In his Chatauqua address of this
season, which is virtually his platform
in his candidacy for the presidency,
Mr.. La Toilette exalts himself as a
great prOtectionist; but says that he is
opposed to high tariff taxation which
fosters monopoly. Now, with an
apology to the immortal Flanagan,
what is protective tariff for, unless
it is to foster monopoly? Unless it
gives somebody the opportunity to
charge more for his product than the
price which would obtain in a free and
unrestricted market, it is in no sense a
protective tariff If it is held to be a
good ching per Sc to levy taxes ac-
tually higher than needed for revenue,
it is hard to show why there is any
great need of tariff reduction at all.
A level headed farmer once asked an
advocate of protection this very per-
tinent question, ''If a fifty per cent
tariff is in itself a good thing, then
why is not a hundred per cent. or a
two hundred per cent. tariff better?'
The real tariff issue is between free
dom and restriction. What is needed
IS more freedom, and less restriction.
The general welfare of the United
States has been advanced by CONNER
cial freedom throughout vast home
territory, while restricted trade at the
