Secretary Root In a speech recently
favored that kind Of tariff reform that
will place the country on a maximum
and minimum tariff basis. This kind
of a change has been advocated for
some years. and one of its earliest and
ablest advocates has been the Secre
tary of the Treasury. 1t represents o
vital principle and one with which dis
ordinations on the part Of other coun-
tries against the United States can be
most successfully combatted. The coun-
try that treats US fairly will be given
the minimum tariff and the other the
maximum tariff. 1t Is the kind OF q

No Danger of a Tariff War.
In discussing the latest phase of the
German tariff situation the Wall Street
Journal sees some advantage In the
dual tariff system, but insists that 1T
should not be made a means of raising
tariffs generally" There need be no
fear Of that. we think. Very little is
obtained from Germany and France
that could not be bought elsewhere,
and IL bought elsewhere, from a coun-
try on friendly tariff terms with us
Great Britain, for example, which could
furnish practically everything, except
ing champagne and still wines, which
we could very well get along without
We should not pay any increased tariff
rate. But Is it conceivable that this
emergency will arise? 1t would be a
great thing for British industry, but
bad thing for German and French
industry, II our yearly purchases Of
S151 100000 from Germany and $780,
100000 from France were transferred
from those countries to the United
Kingdom. But it will never come to
that. Germany and France need the
$271 600, 600 market which they now
have in the United States. They are
not going to risk It's loss as the result
OF a tariff war. There will be no tariff
war.

The Senate has ratified the treaty
which secures to Santo Domingo an op
portunity for peaceful and orderly de
velopment and to the United States
the removal Of a source Of complica
tons with European powers affecting
the Monroe Doctrine
The arrangement is, in substance
that officials appointed by the United
States shall take charge of the collec
ton OF the customs revenue of Santc
Domingo and apply it in agreed proper
lions to the support of the island gov
eminent and the payment of the public
debt.
By the transfer of the custom hous
es from the weak hands of native fac
lions to the strong hands Of the United
States the melting cause Of revolutions
is removed No matter what the
changes of local politics, the revenue
remains In American hands. and to try
to seize it or mortgage it is to make
war or the United States.
If Santa Domingo were not an Amer.
lean island this government might have
been Indifferent to its troubles. But its
turbulent bankruptcy was always pro
voking European powers TO use force
and even to seize territory, to get sat

And that the United States could not
permit.
Nor was it safe for the United States
to maintain this g-ln-the-manger at

been put in the hands OF the United
States as receiver That is the sub
stance Of the arrangement for which
the President has wisely. firmly, and
successfully contended.

for the United States and still better

Neither Necessary Nor Desirable.
Most of the clamor for tariff removal
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 nave by far the great
est interest in projections results. 1t
Is assumed by certain class of
statesmen" th,tt siodical 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
loudest and strongest for its arrival.
But in the opinion Of a very large ma
jority Of the American people these
periodical changes are not necessary,
and are very far from being desirable.

PO1iC0| Comment.
The Farmers and the Tariff.

The Hon John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, leader of the Democrats in
the House Or Representatives, Is a tar
Id ripper OF the most pronounced type.
Usually he is for ripping up the tariff
root and branch; but recently the gen
tlenan from Mississippi appeared for
fie moment at least as the champion of
protection for the farmers. He thinks
or says he thinks that the agricultural
interests of the country have not had
the recognition they deserve at the
hands OF those who make the tariff
bills.
Now, Mr.. Williams must know IL
that the present Dingley law gives q
larger measure of direct benefit TO the
farmers of this country than was ever
accorded them in any previous meas
ure. and (2) that every tariff ripper
who has lifted up his voice for tariff
reform during the last ten years has
had in mind some scheme whereby the
measure of protection granted TO the
farmers OF the country should be re-
u1-ru uAIctliy OE lIdueQ OH lOf the
benefit of some manufacturer
Time and again has objection been
raised to the duties on cereals and to
the duty On hides-direct benefit to the
farmers-while the entire scheme of
Canadian reciprocity has no other pur-
pose than to put the farmers OF Ameri-
ca into direct competition with the
farmers of Canada, in return for free
access to Canadian markets Tor certain
manufactured products OF this country.
Nothing can be clearer than this.
that If tariff revision were undertaken
to-day the farmers interests would he
sacrificed or the attempt to revise
would fail. 1t would seem that this
sudden appearance OF Mr.. WILLIAMS rs
a champion of protection for the farm
ers must be in the nature of a dust
throwing performance. and nothing
eise.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
