How Much Longer Must Business
Wait?

@The Senate practically made no
progress to-day with the tariff BILL
So began q Washington despatch In
yesterdays Sun. Instead of progress
there was palaver; mostly desultory talk
about raxors, and that rolliekine jest, its
eyes rheurny with immortal age, about
the use Of razors by the bulk Of the Re-
publican partyin the South. All the good
venerate venerable Jokes and customs.
No beardless Jest dares show it's face in
the Senate, and boundless talk is GUS
tom Of the Senate. So we wait to hear
LA TOILETTE and the rest Of the noble
galaxy Of "progressists' who never
progress, who bar the progress Of the
tariff bill, who are really mending their
fences In their several States and not
trying to make tariff.
Then there are the Democratic Sem
ators, who must illustrate their comic
force by yawning illimitably about a
tariff for revenue only, after they have
wallowed in protection for the industries
of their States. The country has no
time to read long winded harangues, and
no patience with the haranguers. solemn
or ludicrous. 1t wants action, not talk.
Why should business be kept waiting
and uncertain in order that powwowers
at Washington may spout to the top Of
their bent?
The country sees great industries in
creasins wages, railroad earnings ris-
ing, the weather propitious to the crops,
activity and life returning, and prosper
ity spreading along all the avenues of
trade. When will the tariff be got out
of the way? When will every business
affected thereby know exactly where 1t
stands? When will the one cause Of un-
certainty and hesitation be removed?
A decent time for deliberation, Of
course. But the country is weary Of
days spent in fruitless talk, without
advancing the tariff bill. How many
weeks more must business wait?
