The Tariff a Labor Question

Chicago Tribune: Mr.. Bryan tells
the workingmen, with all the impress
siveness of one who has discovered a
great truth, that the tariff question
really is a labor question: So it is.
For once Mr.. Bryan stands on firm
ground. But the close relationship be-
tween the tariff and labor of all kinds
was proclaimed century ago. 1t was
proclaimed by men who believed that
the interests of all producers-those of
the farms as well as of the factories
would be promoted by the right kind
of tariff. Thas it, protective tariff
The Democratic party refuse to ad-
nit that, and in this particular Mr.
Bryan is faithful to the old Demo-
cratic creed. He is against all pro.
tective duties, and would repeal them
wherever possible He would restore
the tariff to revenue bas!..." That is
to say, he would put the smallest pos
sible number of articles on the dutiable
list and would impose 1 them duties
as low as he could bearing in mind
the total amount of revenue that was
required
If such policy were to be put in
operation the "laborng man for
whose vote Mr. BRYAN is pleading
would learn speedily that the tariff
question was labor question. He
would find that goods made by Europe
an trusts, for which Mr.. Bryan har.
bors no i'll will were displacing goods
made by American producers who
might or might not be trusts. Mr..
Bryan would not discriminate.
/ The displacement of American
goods would mean the displacement
/ of American workmen 1t would be on
so extensive scale that the mainte.
nance of the existing wage scale in
any industry would be out Of the cues.
tion. Mr.. Gompers' exertions to keep
them up would be fruitless. They
( would stay down until the country
1 had returned to the old. sane policy
/ that built them up.
I This is the feast to which Mr.. BRYAN
! is inviting the laboring men. but he
does not tell them what kind of a
spread it would BE-. He says to them
that tariff reform" is needed. So, in
| deed it is, for the tariff has not had an
overhauling for eleven years. 1t will
be overhauled next year in the event
!. of Republican success. But the tariff
reform" which Mr. Bryan would carry
out ii he could, would count the la
