FOR TARIFF REVISION.

fIE Delaware Republicans may be praise
- for again putting in their resolutions a
clause urging sensible revision Of the tariff. 1t
may be recalled that Delaware Republican con-
yention was practically the pioneer Of this move
ment in the country which has now become wide
spread and against which the tariff fetch wor-
shippers have been unable to stand.
The revision that the convention demands is a
revision by the friends of the tariff so that the
idea Of protection shall be kept its original pur
pose and not become wall behind which manu-
facturers who seek to put artificial values on their
product, like the Paper Trust, for example, can
hide Such trusts do not benefit the workingmen
or anyone else, because they diminish the demand
for labor by curtailing their product The tariff
was designed protection toSvorkingmen and
to elevate wages.
The Delaware Republicans, therefore, are in
line with the demands Of the American Associa-
ton OF Manufacturers, with thoughtful persons
who have studied the question, and with Presi-
dent Roosevelt There was no yellow streak Of
Dalzesm in the tariff plank of the Dover con-
vention.

template He IS picture Of distress. We will
warrant, however, that when DR.. Layton returned
to Sussex the gag flew out Of its own momentum
The suppressing Of DR., Layton in the conven-
ton may have been in accordance with the rules,
but they bad rules in our opinion that prevent
a reasonable amount of talk in political con-
venSion. The average Delawarean in politics
loves to talk. Those who can't talk wish they
could, and those who can talk live from year to
year in the hope that they will get a chance to
speak when the party clans are gathered. In fact
we have never seen but one prominent Della
warean who was supremely happy in not being
able to talk-that is, for a reasonable time-and
that was Mr.. Tunnel when he was governor.
However, the shutting off Of DR.. Layton in his
final effort-for the doctor did have one chance
may have been inspirited by a belief that he might
hypnotic more of the delegates We do not
believe, however, that there was the slightest
danger. Some political folks would have chill
run up and down their spinal columns if the
ghost Of Dr. Layton should happen to stalk in
their neighborhood
However, the doctor w. in the convention only
by deuce Of a yote-he getting two majority
and perhaps the amount Of talk he was permitted
TO indulge in, was gauged by the size Of his MAJ
jority in Georgetown.
