MR.. TAFT AND THE TARIFF.
It's Main Declaration Approved by
a Tariff Reform Paper.

nl-Ll Lle rlllaCelrl1ia Record
As there was reason 10 anticlpate. the
most important feature OF President
Taft's INAUGURAL address IS its emphatic
DECLARATION IN favor OF a speedy and
thorough revision OF the tariff. This is
the first declaration from the Presidents
once IN seven years that the tariff is in
need OF the reformatory hand OF the leg
islature- The pith OF the Presidents dec
laration on the subject IS contained IN
the sentence that the subject 10 be
now made will permit the reduction OF
rates in certain schedules. and WIN re-
quire the advancement OF few, II any.
The protectionists and reactionariez who
nave imagined that Mr Taft's utter.nces
IN behalf OF tariff reform were intended
merely to suggest the exigencies OF a
ponucal campaign, and that he would
yletd 20 their claims concerning the de-
preston IN business. get no comforr from
this declaration.
An avOwed champion OF free frade
cOuld no more tersely announce the tTUe
doctrine on the subject than in this
sentence OF the Inaugural address: In
the making OF a tariff bill the prime no
tive IS taxation. and the security thereby
OF revenue" With this thread OF Ari-
adne as a guide through the maze OF
tariff schedules, the work OF revision
presents no great difficulty. Saving the
omission Of a little adverb "Onlv." The
President approaches very nearly the
sound Democratic principles OF "a tariff
for revenue" No Democrats O.. Republi-
can friend OF tariff reform can find much
70 criticise IN the Presidents discussion
Of the fiscal aspects OF this question
The President somewhat vaguely re-
fers 70 a higher "Or maximum tariff
against those countries whose trade pol
Icy toward US equitabiy requires such
Discrimination When this subject
comes 20 be discussed IN the extra session
OF Congress il VIII be seen clearly how
little Is IN the device OF a maximum and
minimum tariff. There IS no discrimina-
ton by other countries against the trade
OF the United States With Germany
and France the complaint IS that the
tariff Of this country discriminates
against them

ADVANTAGE OF LATER Day.
Lengthening Of CongressiOnaI Ses-
sion of Real Value.


Prom the New Yo-k Evening Post.
The ideal thing. as We have often urged.
would be 70 have the new President take
Office on January I, and for the Congress.
elected at the same time with him. also
10 begin its work on that date. This
would conform TO the practice Of most
OF the States. and OF other governments;
would be businesslike. and would Ger
tainly be democratic IN the sense that II
would put the peoples representatives in
once to carry on. the peoples expressed
viii. before It had been forgotten what
that viii was. The lst OF January. Of
course, would be as badly fitted as the
18th OF March for outdoor pageantsi but
those could be omitted ar the legal date
OF inauguration, and had later. We ad-
mit' however, that there seems 70 be
little popular backing for SO radical a
change, and that the shift 70 April 30
appears 70 be much more IN favor. The
advantages OF that date for festal parades
and triumphant marches, with a great
outpouring Of the people, are too Obvi-
Gus 70 be argued. One Incidental benefit
would come from the lengthening OF the
short session" OF Congress II u were
70 sit from December 10 april 90. instead
Of expiring BY Limitation on March T.
much hurried and half-baked legislation
might be avoided, with the hugger-mug-
ger or appropriation bills. seen every
second year as March approaches. and
the desperate and often dishonest shifts
TO get log-rolled or vicious bills through
az the last hour. All these considera-
tons have freshly been blown in upon
ths public mind by last Thursdays furi-
Gus gale; and. as a friend writes US. II
the movement for a change or date IS

interesting ancestor OF whom was dark
skinned party Of the name OF Ham.
Ordinarily. this would not strike us as
topic Of compelling Importance. Whether
the heavyweight championship Of the
world pugnacious stays in America does
not keep US awake at nights; and the
here and yonder disturbing thought that
it may pass into the keeping Of ''culIud
pusson" in nowise interrupts the orderly
progress OF either our dreaming or our
thoughts awake. These sordid things
agitate US not at all. But we do contend,
and therein lies the sum total Of our
growing admiration for Mr. Jeffries, that
an acknowledged and undisputed pugi-
listic champion who admits he may lose
his proud title to a foe yet without the
citadel Of his proud estate, in any or
every conceivable circumstance, is a hero
about whose manly form we may even
drape Old Glory, and not be ashamed or
impelled TO protest our self-respect
simultaneously.
And so. with due rnlndfuIness OF the
proprieties and the niceties OF our high
calling and its more or less intimate re-
lations TO the moral and mental uplift
Of humanity in general and our immedi-
ate constituency IN particular. we wish
Mr.. Jeffries mighty well. in case he de-
cides to tempt fate and cast discretion to
the winds in respect OF trial OF prowess
between himself and this "cullud pusson"
aforesaid. whose name escapes US for the
moment. In short. We are pleased TO
give Mr.. Jeffries the benefit OF his own
unparalleled and extraordinarily amazing
doubt as to the outcome. and hope that
in the event OF the encounter presumably
pending he may Tick" his antagonist ''to
frazzle." and retain unto HIS own be-
hoof and benefit every laurel wreath that
now eneircles his noble and ruggedly
classic brow.
