HTNpRANCEs TO REVISION.
DifficaIt TO Read5ust the Tariff
Duties.
From the Hartford Tines.

Frum the Hartford Tines.
Two things IN the paper OF David starr
Jordan. read at the international free
trade conference IN London on Thursday.
deserve special notice. The first IS the
statement that the protective tariff nee
essarily violates the fundamental idea Il
American polity. which he defines as "a
square deal 10 all men. each standing on
his own feet. with exclusive privileges or
governmental aid 10 no man. and 70 10
class Of men" Looking at a continuing
tariff system. such as we have estab-
lished. this can hardly be denied. But IL
Is maintained that practically the in1us-
tice is small. while considerable advan-
tages attend the system The other IA
rvorite argument that e protective tariff
favors the Development Of infant indus
tries IS not worth much at present when
its chief service IS TO maintain the ad-
vantage OF established industries over
others.
The other thing in the paper to which
attention IS called is the very clear ard
compact statement OF the situation which
has already arisen through the creation
OF what seem. and IN some sense are.
vested rights OF this President Jordan
said
Around these vested rights other con
diuons grow up. and a change OF any
sort works havoc with related OF associ-
ated interests. Justice becomes possible
only by the preparation OF varied forms
OF injustice. To touch the tariff in any
way sends a shock through the financial
world. throughout the body polite Tar

After the Transgressors.


As We grow older and more experienced
and ohse-vaat, we are prone TO believe
that reform is an ever progressing evolu-
ron. and that the way OF the trans
grsssor is fated 10 become harder and
even harder as the years roll by As
man develops. as he moves along the
civilization route, as he gets farther and
farther away from the days OF his saw
agery, his moral nature takes on acute
ness. We fancy. and he is constantly
being reminded OF something he may do
that vii tend 70 his additional worth

Nothing to Gain.

From The Detroit Free Press
II was unfair 10 force the nomination OF
Gov. Johnson He has everything 10 lose
and nothing TO gain from a third term OF
service. From the standpoint Of the pub
lie interest, a precedent would be set in
his third election that might facilitate
the designs OF some less worthy governor
in the future in demanding a third term
to serve purely personal ends. This fact
in itself may raise up an unusual opposi-
ton 10 him in his present run Probably
his own views on third terms will be ex-
tsnsively quoted IN the hope Of bettering
his opponents chances
