SEEING a TARIFF LIGHT.
Progress OF Revision Sentiment in
the Republican Party.


From the New York sun
Two years ago the standpatters could
see no reason why the Dingley tariff
schedules should ever be revised Some
time in the remote future. they con
fessed. it was possible. although highly
improbable, that the duties collected
under the act Of 1897 might be slightly
oppressive. Yet they didn't really believe
any change would ever be necessary.
Now the constituents Of Uncle Joe Can
non himself, with his approval and sane
tion. have written in their platform the
amazing confession that the tariff is
not sacred" This declaration IS most sur
prising. Since the Republicans came into
power by virtue OF Bryan in 1896 no such
admission has been made except by the
unorthodox. like Representative Mccall
and Gov. Cummins.

In only one port in all the United
States is there a greater tonnage Of our
