Some Republicans of national
Importance are declaring that
after the coming election there
will be a special session of Con
gress called in 1909 to consider
the tariff and revise it. 1t is
stated that the Republican plat
form will so declare. But if a
Republican President and a Re
publican Congress are elected
favorable to tariff revision there
will still be a Republican major
ity of the United States Senate,
who are SO welded to ultra pro
lection, that any bill for real re-
vision proposed by the House Of
Representatives will meet de-
cided hostility and would be
likely to emerge from the finance
committee with an adversereport
or even higher rates than the
present law imposes.
How can platform promises or
personal pledges be expected to
overcome the entrenched stand
patters? The more so as the Re
publican platform will undoubt-
eddy again declare for the "prin-
ciple of protection and under
that declaration any Republican
! Congressman can, if he wants to,
vote against the reduction of any
] schedule or against a reform bill
that reduces the protection now
: enjoyed by any trust, combine Of
protected manufacturer t h a
would declare that the proposed
reduction Of a rate would leavI
! their product open to cempeettiittiieeii
from a like foreign product.
For years the game has beer
e to promise that when the publ
interests demand" there will b
revision of the tariff schedule
i but that work cannot safely b
committed to any other hand
than those of the Republica'
= party. To intrust it to The Den
ocratic party is to invite disast
y err Such was the declaratio
of the Republican platform i
1904. But the Republican leac
ers were not satisfied with tina
. declaration and as an evioen
al after-thought they added to tn
IN plank the mendacious statement
"A Democratic tariff has Away
n been followed by business az
: versity, a Republican tariff b
II business prosperity" VIII
therefore can or will believe VIII
they say? Both their statemer
of adversely and their prognost
p cation of prosperity has proven
false guide to their delude
W followers.
AS the Republican tariff ha
g fostered trusts and allowed I'll
e. combines to increase prices an
eS sell cheaper abroad than here; 3
it has fostered speculation an
extravaganza, which has resulte
in financial panic and busine:
depression, so that many wor'
les ingmen are hunting jobs wit
empty stomachs and their wiz,
On and children feel the pinch
"a poverty, will the Republic;
politicians admit the truth al
reform a law that produces SUI
dire results?
las 1t is much to be feared til
las they are welded to their idol
in the protected interests, and the
OF promises are a broken reed
