Tariff Revision.

In all probability the revision of
the tariff will be the paramount issue
in the campaign. The casual observer
might Say that inasmuch as both Taft
and Bryan have declared for a modi-
fication of existing schedules, it will
make little difference to us which I'M
dertakes the work; but this fallacy is
one of the dangers to be guarded
against in the present campaign.
Mr.. Taft and those who stand with
him on the Republican national plat
form would carry out the Mckinley
idea Of tariff revision, retaining the
principle of protection for American
Industries and American labor, except
with reference to products OF monopo-
listic combinations.
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand. would
smash the protective tariff. imposing
only such duties as are necessary for
revenue. In other words. Mr.. Bryan
would open our markets to the prod
ucts Of the cheap labor of the whole
world except in cases where incidental
protection results from the imposition
of revenue duties.-Burlingto Free

MIR. Taft and the Courts.

One great advantage Mr.. Taft car
ries with him into the present con-
test. We believe that, in spite of the
seething discomfort, and in spite of
immigration. the American people
still believe in the supremacy of law
They had in 1872 the opportunity to
put final power into the hands of an
executive If they wished. They had
the opportunity. also, to make of the
courts set of mere puppets of the
temporary popular mood, or to make
the Legislature supreme. They did
none of these things. They founded
courts which were to act irrespective
OF pressure from executive legisla-
ture or populace. If the people of to-
day wish to amend the constitution
they are free to do so and to remove
this power of the courts to stand be-
tween the permanent and the tenn
porary opinions of the masses. AS
long as We have courts, however, as
the final arbiters of law, 1t is folly to
endeavor, by short terms and by cleo
ton, instead of appointment. to make
them popular in tone. Very likely,
during the term of the next president,
four members of the supreme court
of the United States will be changed
Who will be likely to put upon
that bench the higher grade of men.
Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft? That is one
of the most important questions the
electors must face between now and
November. In the opinion of some of
the most intelligent citizens, it is the
most important question to be faced.

Taft, no matter who may be the guber-

Everything is shaping up beautifully.
There is not a missing link in the ac
cord of the party upon national issues.
Mr. Taft made himself solid with New
York by his early announcement of
the favorite son principle He is
known to have played fair before the
| convention met, and he will be given
a square deal by New York at the

made by Mr.. Taft, however, is not con-

the men of wide affairs generaiiy-are
looking to Mr.. Taft as their salvation
from the f1otsam and jetsam that other
wise would overwhelm them.
Mr.. Taft has been tested, and he is
believed TO be sound to the core.
Business men generally put his quail
flcations beyond party and sum them
up very succinctly. Mr. Taft knows
the territory he is to work; he has
Travelled every part of 1t; he knows the
line Of goods his party has to offer;
he knows the tastes OF the people; he
is acquainted with the obstacles to be
overcome; he is fully informed as to
the trade competition of other pow
ers; he is just the man to represent
the American people in every capacity

satisfies the business men. They know
his acumen; they believe in his princi

For all these reasons, aside from the

the New York vote as most important

BRYAN UNDER A HANDICAP.
"Shouters" Will Want Reward In Ex.
tremeIy improbable Event Of Success.

Mr.. Bryan disposes OF some gossip
about appointments in case of his cleo
ton by saying that he has made no
promises about officers and win make
none. a wise course.
II was said of Mr.. Clay that had he
been elected president he would have
been overwhelmed by the multiplicity
of the promises that had been made
by him, and for him by friends, in the
matter of patronage. Unselfish per-
sonal devotion did not explain the
whole of the Clay following. Some of
1T was canny, and wanted assurances.
Many men SO disposed got assurances.
Mr.. Clay was approachable in a deli
cate way on such scores. IL little
dictatorial at times, he was yet warm
hearted, and he desired very much to
be president. In the White House,
therefore. he would have been be-
sieged by Clay men from all quarters,
clamoring either for what had been
promised them, or for what they
thought they had deserved as laborers
in his vineyard And there would not
have been patronage enough by hun
dred per cent. to go round.
This was equally true probably OF

the knack of attaching men TO him

but who at the same time found it nee

taxed him as president to redeem
Mr.. Bryan's leadership has been
short as compared with the length
either of Mr. Clay's or of Mr.. Blaines,
but it has been long enough to bring
many men under his spell, and thou
sands have associated themselves with
his rise and the establishment of his
power. Fully a regiment may be mus
tered who found him first" AS many
more are known in their respective
communities as men who stand par
ticularly close" to him, and with whom
he always confers before taking any
important step. Then we have the
army of shouters, hoarse all through
campaign years from use of his name,
and convinced of their right to recogni.
ton at his hands.
Is it difficult to draw the picture of
Mr. Bryan in the White House, with
the original Bryan men, the men who
stand particularly close" to him, and
the noble army of general shouters, all
moving on him for remembrance in his
hour of triumph? He might not wish
himself in Hongkong. or his besiegers
in Hades, but his condition, even with
out a single promise out, would move
all sympathetic persons TO genuine
pity.
