TO HANDLE THE TARIFF.

According 10 the New York Tribune,
which, we believe. stands high in the
favor of the party in power, the Bever-
idge bin recently introduced in the
Senate. IN proposing a permanent tariff
commission of FIVE members is intend
ed to take that much discussed ques-
ton out OF politics.
The bill provides that the commission
is to be attached to the Department
OF Commerce and Labor as bureau
thereof The commissioners arc to be
appointed by the President subject to
the approval of the Senate, and to
serve for six years, at an annual sala-
ry of $1,000, It is provided that each
member shall be an expert upon the
tariff or some general branch there
Of" No member is to be a Senator
or Representative.
The commission is to proceed imme-
diately TO an investigation of tho cost
of production of all articles covered by
the tariff. the prices of American la
Dor in comparison with prices paid
foreign labor, the cost of raw materials
entering into our manufactured ar
ticles, whether domestic or imported,
and all other facts necessary to the
fixing OF the duties on any article
The commission must visit PERSONAL
~ every section of the country and in
vestigate Industrial conditions with ref
erence to the tariff. II will be author
lied to take testimony and call for the
production of all books and papers
necessary for an accurate ascertain
ment of facts regarding the cost and
production and any other element af-'
fecting tariff duties.
The commission is to tabulate the
result Of its Investigations respecting
the cost of production and all other
things affecting the tariff, which re-
port is to be laid before Congress at
the earliest possible moment for the
use and guidance of Congress in it's
revision of the tariff
The proposition is good one but
we fear II is made little too late to
prevent the tariff from being made an
issue in the approaching presidential
and congressional elections.
