MED AND HARMLESS REVISION.

A revision of the tariff begun
promptly and considered at spe-
c!al session. will make the disturb
ance OF business incident to such a
change as little as possible. VIM.
III. Taft.
Quite true, A revision of the
tariff begun at a special session pre-
sided over by Brer Dalzell and Brer
Payne and Brer Aldrich would inter
fere with business very little indeed
or almost not at all. The business
of the campaign contributing trusts
would not be disturbed by a pebble
cast. The revision would be upward
accordingg to statement made
some time ago by Mr. Aldrich. who
represents the amalgamated trusts
in che senate and who says what
Brer Payne and Brer Dalzell might
not insist upon revision side-wise
or a revision cut upon a bias. Any
sort OF revision not meaning reduc-
tion would suit these heavenly twins
of house legislation; no sort of re-
vision meaning any sort of reduc-
ton would have half the chance to
pass through the committee room
on its way to the house that a bird
has to fit through the branches of
upas tree in pursuit of a moth.
1t can be stated positively that
a revision of the tariff by its friends
would not disturb the captains Of
industry who have made legal prof
It's from immoral legislation and
traded financial support to the Re
publican machine for it's favors.
Such revision as might take place
at a special session OF a Republi-
can congress might make material
for the writer of humorous verse
or prose. for the cartoonist, for the
satirist. Business such as Judge
! tor will preach subject. "Our Duty
the fcudal lords of American indus
! try whose castles are tariff builded
and whose vassals are tariff bound
would not experience a ripple Of
! excitement or a moment of fear.
The robber barons would know that
revision conceived in duplicity and
born of buncombe would mean
nothing more than bluff Judge
Taft is absolutely correct in his
statement. He could have ampli-
| fed it and made it stronger

Bluefield evening leader. [volume] (Bluefield, W. Va.) 1906-1911, 1908-08-08

a dispatch from Washington
gives announcement to the report
that a conference will soon be held
there to consider the ways and
means of cxtricating the party in
West Virginia from its hazardous
predicament. The same dispatch
that gives the above information
says Taft is very Regular and OPP
posed TO any movement that will
interfere with party Regularity in
conventions. As Tafts nomination
was brought about through the use
OF the same methods that brought
success to Sw.sher. his position can
easily be understood as one friend
ly to Charles Wesley The outcome
can therefore. be forecast with a
measurable degree Of certainty:
Schcrr Will ultimately be retired. or
he viii retire and Swishcr will re-
main ON the ticket and Bennett
will be elected Charleston Gazette.
