"Tariff Revision"

Speaking to the Washington cor
respondent for the Columbia Is. c.
State, John Sharp Williams com
mented upon the farcical prepara-
ton for tariff revision, now being
made by republican leaders. Mr..
Williams said:
Tariff revision? Yes, | suppose
they will have to make some sort OF
ieint at carrying out their pledges
to revise the tariff. But the country
need not expect changes in the sched-
ules that will permit anything like
genuine foreign competition and
bring about q lowering OF prices
None OF the lsrcenous advantages,
the protected industries now enjoy
will be taken away from them by the
Republicans. Wherever schedules
are lowered 1t will be because the In
dustriss to which the schedules relate
have no need Of the amount OF pro-
lection now given them. And the re-
duction will be made only to such q
point that the manufacturers can
continue to sell their products at the
same heavy margin Of profit they
have enjoyed In she past and now
enjoy. The consumers need not hope
to gain anything In the way oilower
priced commodities as a result OF
Republican tariff revision. And In
many cases the revision will be up
ward instead OF downward. This
will be the case especially with rela-
ton to certain agricultural products
OF which small quantities are export
ed. On these the tariff rates will be
increased, for the purpose Of making
the farmer believe he is getting q
share In the benefits OF the revision.
The whole thing will be q mockery
and a delusion, and when II is all
done the country will be LETT just az
much at the mercy Of the protected
manufacturers and the trusts as 1t
is now. Perhaps the duty on lumber
