Real and Shadow Revision.

The country, according to Mr.. Serene
Payne, did not especially declare itself
on tariff revision, in the result of the
election. 1t was TO be expected that
people who view the tariff as Mr.. Payne
does, would take this view. The tariff
was not an issue. But why' Because
both parties were pledged to revision,
Now comes the question of what sort
OF revision shall be handed down. Shall
1t be the form, or the substance? There
is accumulatirg evidence that effort
viii be made to provide the appearance
rather than the fact; TO cut the utterly
useless upper course off a few sections
of the tariff wall, while making no
change in the conditions affecting pro-
duction. competition, and prices.
That sort OF a revision will be unfOr-
tunate. The country was so solidly
for revision-not "readiustment"- that
there was no issue. Everybody was Tor
it. The verdict is for revision at the
hands of the tariffs friends; but it is
none the less for revision.
If the revision of 1909 shall prove a
bogus one, it viii mean tariff cam
paign in 1910, when the Congressional
election will be held next. On the issue
of betrayed pledges to give an honest
revision, the Republican party would
present sad figure before the country
in the contest for the next Congress.
To disappoint the country nowj to
give a revision which viii convince hon
est tariff reformers of the insincerity of
the party; to remove nothing of the
protection which monopolies enjoy to
the gouging of the consumer and the
qualification of their own greed; to
adopt a so-called reciprocity" scheme
of maximum and minimum schedules
which viii really be retaliatory plan
of minimum and maximum duties-all
this will be TO invite disaster in the
Congressional election of 1910 and to
pave the way for a tariff campaign in
1912 with all the advantage on the
Democratic side. The safe plan is to
give the country honest reyisionj and
it is also the only honest plan.
The interests of the consumer, as
well as the producer, must be weighed
in making this next revision. The con
sumner is not SO prompt to appear and
state his case. He is not so we'll in

An estimated outlay of 100000

New York Central for railroad better
meuts
These are the evidences of IA new
commercial confidence brought TO light
in the short half week which has fol-
lowed Mr., Taft's election. No man in
his senses can fail to be impressed by
them Yet the New York Journal of
Commerce has a few sensible remarks
TO make about the talk of a boom. 1t
looks for renewed hope and confidence
as a result of the election, but adds
that better times viii come only as a
result of steady recovery in business,
and that an effort at booming things"
viii do more harm than good.
OF course, there was a stock market
squirt, Notwithstanding that Mr.. Taft's
election had been fully discounted by
every well-Posted broker. To a. certain
extent the passing Of election day was
nothing more than getting of the pub
lie mind an event that the American
people are so much interested in that
they do not talk or think business
while they are considering it. Of
course, nobody believed that the cleo
tion of Mr.. Taft would see all untoward
business conditions disappear. We did
believe that it would clear the way Tor
better things, and it has done so.
The papers in all business centers
are full OF announcements by merchants
and manufacturers of expansion and
improvements. 1t may be said that
these would have come in any event,
no matter who was elected, but the
fact that they have come and that
Judge Taft was elected is proof that no
mistake was made when it was said
in his behalf that his election would
signalize the return of confidence TO
the business world and renewed bust
ness activity. The signs Of good cheer
everywhere are conclusive evidence that
the claim was well founded.

What Happened in Illinois.

Students OF politics outside of Illinois
viii find it hard to understand the con-
test in that State over the governor
ship. Reputable newspapers have dis
agreed so bitterly over Charles s. De
neen, charges and comtereharges have
been used so generally as ammunition,
and the vote-now that Deneen is bare
/ ly reelected, if at all-is so variously
misinterpreted that it is hard even for
those Well informed to see through the
/ haze
What happened was to all practical
purposes this:
Deneen, a regular" worker, was
given his first nomination through the
then Governor Yates. He was elected
/ by all wings of the party-the Federal
ofliceholders fighting for him because he
did not represent any invasion of their
provinces; the State machine fighting
/ for him because he had the approval
of its leaders; the Independents fight
ing for him because his record as dis
trict attorney in Chicago, though open
to some question, was on the whole
more promising than that of any oppo-
nent.
His administration was an extraordi-
nary success. He did wonders. While
increasing appropriations he was able
to reduce taxes, the explanation being
that he actually turned back to the
State treasury the interest on the
State funds which were deposited in
the banks He so far reversed Yates
and Tanner as to establish a civil serv-
ice in good faith. Then he stood for
denomination and reelection.
He met Immediately the most zeal
GUS and ingenious opposition from all
the forces, save one, which two years
before had been so heartily in his favor.
The exception was the indepenent
good opinion of his fellow citizens.
They looked on and approved while all
the other factors named opposed him
by hook or crook-Yates, because De
neen had not aided the retired governor
in a fight against Senator Cullom; the
State machine because it could not use
him; many of the Federal bunch" be-
cause they saw upgrowing an influence
which endangered their control of the
national Offices, and because he stood
for a primary law which they, in COM
mon with adherents of the State ma
chine. regarded as wholly unnecessary.
Such foes can raise plenty of dust.
Throughout the preliminaries to the
primary they made the State ring with
charges. Billy" Mason added to the
confusion by standing as the accepted
candidate OF organized labor and poll
ing 10000 votes. If the Democrats
needed any scandal to weaken any Re-
publican, that Republicans opponents
straightway provided it. And now that
the election Is over, there is still doubt
If Deneen has won.
Yet the result need not be discourage
ing. Deneen's support measures the
independent good citizenship of the
Republican party in that State. It
amounts TO an even half of the whole
vote cast. 1t may yet prove more than
a majority. 1t has eliminated Richard
Yates, the reckless. 1t has brought the
Federal crowd To see themselves IS
needing the favor of the people rather
than being superior to it. 1t has given
Deneen a strength vastly more to be
feared by the corrupt influences Of the
State than though he had been elected
twenty times with the support of those
who are in politics as a business.
