Rest From Unnecessary Anxiety

1t is impossible for Congress to IN
dertake the revision of the Tariff
without thereby creating condition
of suspense. No matter how moderate
may be the published program there
can never be any assurance that 1t
will be strictly followed, that the emer
dations to be made will be confined
within the prescribed limits. AS they
cannot tell what TO expect business
men are consequently constrained as
much as possible TO circumscibe their
operations. They live as nearly as
they can from hand TO month, with the
result to a minimum to the universal
loss and what are known as hard time
What the American people are more
in need of just now than anything else
is a rest from unnecessary anxiety.
After the distressful crisis through
which they have lately passed they
want a chance to recuperate to re-
ciUit their energies to consolidate their
interests and it is precisely Of this
change that the inception of a Tariff
tinkering agitation would deprive
them.-Philadelphia Inquirer"

SHORT MEMORIES.

Because we said last week that The
Hartford Herald had in late issue
endeavored to make Ohio County Re-
publicans think it had never said
anything but loving words about Tay-
lor and Powers, We are accused of
falsehood. Let us see about who is
guilty of the falsehood. We said lin
its late" issue, meaning to refer to
the issue of April LIST, when in an al
tempt to reply to our assertion that
this new adviser and guardian for
Ohio County Republicans had always
in State and County campaign flaunt-
ed the negro question and abused Pow
ers and Taylor. 1t quotes this and
adds: "As to the past kindness clause
the public is witness that We have al
ways "toted fair with the Republicans.
In referring to this claim of fair to-
ting" evidently meanig Powers and
Taylor, or else 1t meant nothing, we
said they are now striving to convince
Ohio County Republicans that The
Herald never said anything but loving
words about Taylor and Powers.
We leave the public 10 judge about
the home grown, plain, unvarnished
falsehood."

The Greatness of This Country.

The farmers of the United States
now raise annually 40 per cent of the
worlds total production Of wheat, corn
and oats; 20 per cent. of the total
production of wheat; rs per cent. of
the total production Of corn; 81 per
cent. OF the total production OF tobac-
co, and II per cent. of the total
production of cotton.
The greatness of this country is fur
Their shown by the fact that it pro-
duces ~ per cent Of the worlds pro
duct of pig iron; 81 per cent. Of the
worlds product of coal; 62 per cent.
of the worlds product of petroleum;
81 per cent. of the worlds product of
copper.
This tremendous growth is due di-
rectly or indirectly to the general po-
Icy OF Protection inaugurated in
1897 after the depression Of 1898 10
1895. The revival OF domestic Pro-
tected industries and the stimulus
reflected upon all lines of industrial
activity and commercial enterprise,
produced material results that surpass
ed the greatest expectations of those
charged with the responsibility in
1897 of reacuing the naticn from de-
preston and bankruptcy.

In a recent issue the Hartford Re-
publican said:

The Herald, it says:

Disappointing to Progressive. u

The stand-patters never took the
stand that the Tariff should never be
revised. The last national convention
settled that point. 1t declared for
revision only when it was needed. The
President and other leaders decided
last fall, before the opening of Con-
gress that revision should not be at
tempted by this Congress and that it
would be expedient for the next Con-
gress to consider it in 1909, after the
Presidential election. Leslie NJ. Shaw,
a stand-patter of stand-patters began
advocating this idea two years ago.
The progressives demurred TO and de-
claimed against this delay but they
were powerless. The stand-patters took
the initiave at Washington, as they
have in Ohio and Iowa, and they have
laid down this strong Protective line
along which revision will be had. The
cost of labor and material having great
ly advanced since the Dingley law was
adopted, some of the schedules will
have to have the rates raised, if re-
gard is to be had as to the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and abroad" These changed
conditions are going to greatly dis
appoint those people who have imagin-
ed that revision necessarily means a
reduction in rates in every instance.
If the policy outlined by the Iowa
Ohio plank is carried out there will be
increases as well as decrease in Tariff
rates, and there will be no reciprocity
in natural products, nor any American
industry crippled by foreign competi-
ton.
The whole situation, rightly under
stood, is one of eminent satisfaction
to the friends of Notwithstanding
ton "Hawkeye."

TIE Louisville Evening Post has
treated the tobacco growers with more
fairness than any other Louisville
daily paper, but one day last week 1t
published what purported 10 be
resume of all the troubles in the State
growing out of the struggle between
the trust and the growers. II covered
about a page and gave the daily dis
patches extending over a period OF
two or three months. Many of the
supposed events had been denied,
some of them time and again. AS an
instance the Rev. Gordon story in
Ohio County, was republished by the
Post along with the rest, although it
has been repeatedly denied and over
Rev. Gordon's sworn statement. 1t is
bad enough, but do the Louisville
daily papers desire to SANDER Kentucky
to the outside world, or is it a case
OF newspaper unreliability?

assertion that the American Society
