rariff No Longer Political Issue.

Tariff NO Lohscr oh.ic"i issue'
The New York Evening Mail sums
IN the tariff in a terse and yet In a
comprehensive manner, as follows:
"The country has accepted the pro-
tectiopist principle more completely
than at any previous period of our
National history No headway has
heen made by those who have spora-
IDEALLY attempted to revive the old
free-trade or tariff-for-revenue-only
feeling. 1t was made sufficiently
clear at the extra session that the
South has become at heart protec-
Zionist. Senator Daniels of Virginia
Fopenly repudiated the platform of
his party, and instead of being pun
ished has been rewarded by unani-
nous denomination. On critical roll
calls more than half of the Southern
senator's voted for higher duties, and
there is no evidence that their con-
duct is unsatisfactory to their con-
stituents. With free-tradism Ian
gushing in the North and protection
sentiment growing in the South, pro-
tectionism seems unassailable. 1t is
true that in certain states of the
Mississippi valley there is an appar-
ent drift toward lowering the tariff,
but with the East, the South, the
Mountain states, and the Pacific
Coast against them, it is difficult to
see how their propaganda, even if
persisted in, can make much pro-
gress.
"It is clear that the tariff problem
Is no longer the principal political
preoccupation of the American peo-
ple. There is an unusual amount of
Indifference as to whether duties are
TO be high or low. The campaigners
on both sides discovered this during
this summers agitation. No excite
ment could be worked up by either
side. Business men and manufac-
mrers refused to become excited
when told that they were about to
become ruined; consumers remained
calm when it was advertised to them
that if they did not vigorously pro-
test they would be robbed. This
ouiescence is largely traceable to the
fact that attention Is now concen-
trated on questions which but in
directly involve the tariff-on social
n problems having to do more with the |
n equitable distribution of wealth than |
4 the conditions of its production. A
Il hundred heads are puzzling over
