Next Tariff Law.

There seems to be no longer any
doubt that our next general Tariff law
will be framed on a minimum and max
imum basis 1t is quite evident from
the speeches made by Speaker Cannon
and Chairman Payne to the visiting
Tariff rippers that the minimum will
give adequate protection to every
American industry and American
labor, and that the maximum will
be used for the purpose OF getting
concessions from foreign countries.
AS such Tariff is also favored
by certain interests favoring revision,
it would seem that after all some COM
mon ground might be taken in the
preparation of the next general law
whenever it shall be enacted. While
Chairman Payne gives the impress
sion that some such legislation
might take place during the coming
short session next winter after the cleo
ton, yet no promise to that end was
made, and it seems quite unlikely that
general bill will be framed at that
time American Economist.

And This is From an Ohio Congress.
man.

At the annual dinner of the Home
Market Club in Boston, Congressman
Bannon, of Ohio, in discussing the
tariff question advocated a continu-
ance of the present policy of protec-
ton for American industries. He al
so paid a deserved tribute to Speak
er Canaan, saying in part:
MANY public men, high in the
councils of the nation, are now adj
vocating tariff revision. Others have
opposed their views. The man who
knows more about the Government
of the United States and how to sue
cessfully run it than any other
American is Joseph G.. Cannon. In a
speech at Danville, ILL.,, eighteen
months ago, he said:
Tariff revision in time of pros
perity always has halted, and always
will halt. business activity, produc-
ton and commerce.
Protection is not a local issue,
but is a great national question. This
country is irrevocably committed to
the principle of protection and if
those clamoring most for revision
would only consider that such is the
settled policy of the country, the
question of revision would be ap-
preached with less danger to the bus
mess of the country"

Read this and sit down to think it
over. This new postoffice regulation
requiring that subscribers to news
papers and all other periodicals shall
pay their subscriptions within a reas-
enable time in order that these papers
may be mailed to subscribers at the
cheapest rate of postage has already
caused decrease of mail order pub

publishers are suffering from the new
regulation as many subscribers resent a

presentation let their resentment take
the form of request to stop the pap

After President Roosevelt had
written his recent message declaring
that the fight against corporate
wrogndoing must go on-the most
energetic, the most read, the most
discussed, the most sensational pres
idential message of our day-Mr.
Roosevelt submitted it to the men,
bers Of his cabinet. He asked their
opinion of it, Should it be sent to
Congress or should it not?
To the Presidents amazement, al
most to his dismay, one after another
of his official advisers declared that
while it was a wonderfully strong
paper and all that, it would be in
judcious to send it to the Congress.
There was no dissenting voice Root,

with his strong common sense; Cor
telyou, with his business sagacity and

his legal acumen; Metcalf, with his
long experience in public life;

Longworth said, owe debt to Speak

The Courage of President Roosevelt

The Courage of President Roosevelt.
Walter Wellman writes the Chicago
Record. Herald as follows:
Washington, Feb. 25.-This is a
story of courage. 1t is story of the
courage of Theodore Roosevelt. That
it requires courage to be President of
the United States-Such President
as Mr.. Roosevelt is-a chapter of in
side history will show. 1t is not the
history of last year nor of the last
century we are dealing with. but the
history of to-day. 1t may be none
the less interesting or important for
that. Is there any other history half
so fascinating as that of our own
times? This is a simple little epic
of those times, of the men and events
which ARE now molding our nation
into whatever it is and whatever it
is to be.
