tion should be issued as soon as nee. ssary.
and this will be done upon the discovery
of the frat case oil this disease within the
bounds OF the State.
The Federal law 6xes very heavy
penalties for the violation Of the quaran-

Congress alwass has / bad effect
ON business and there is natural
restriction along lines in which
changes are anticipated. With
the assurance that whatever is
done in the way of tariff revision
is to be done with the sole view
Of making changes gradually,
and in a way not to disturb any
industry, it is not a vital matter.
There is an undoubted Repnb-
lican belief in the necessity OF
tariff revision, but there is no
Republican sentiment to the ex-
tent that such a revision IS to
mean the removal of tariff duties
or any drastic cuts that would
result in affecting unfavorably
the interests of either capitalists
or the workers. The policy OF
the Republican party has always
been to protect national indus
tries, and that means alike those
who are employers and those Who
are employed.
That there is to be cutting
and a slashing of the tariff duties
is not to be considered. The
hearings now in progress are to
bring out the sentiment of those
concerned and the suggestion
that the consumers should be
heard along with the producers
is correct. It is assured that
the newly-elected Congress will
be called upon to meet soon after
the fourth day March next. But
nobody need expect the new
President to stand for traiff for
revenue only.
