tional mind manages to get along for
any considerable time with no national
hero, but merely with a pair e twin
national villains. it will be a remark

chology Sometimes communities very
suddenly turn about face and translate
their heroes into villains, and their vii

little of present indication that such re-

But whatever may develop later, the
fact is that Messrs. Cannon and AID

shift in the next act. Somebody must
be at the center, and where the hero is

TALK ON THE TARIFF

qua circuit.

a number of lecturing engagements, viii
handle some OF the schedules in the bill
without gloves. Champ Clark Is now
free to take up his Chautaugua engage
ments at $50 a night and he will discuss
the new law from a partisan stand
point
There is feeling among many of the
Republicans that President Tafts state
ment, issued Immediately after he had
signed the bill. might have been pre-
pared with greater care. They point out
that il is constructed in such a fashion
that Democratic orators will find it easy
to lift whole sentences and quote them
in support of their arguments that the
bin is unsatisfactory to both parties.
However, the most dissatisfied mem
bers of Congress are willing TO admit
that a general revision of the tariff will
not be undertaken for some years The
election of a Democratic ma jOrity in the
House would not accomplish that end,
for the Senate will continue to retain
its safe Republican majority for a long
time.
If the Democrats undertook tariff re-
vision, a few Of the progTessives might
vote with them in the Senate but that
is not altogether assured. II is further
pointed out that the protectionlsts in the
Senate always had a majority of at
least ten and that majority is not likely
TO be impaired in the immediate future.
The Washington times., 1909-08-07

Members OF Congress are leaving
Washington with the finest collection
of conflicting emotions that has been
carried away from the Capital IN many
a year, and all sorts Of political
schemes, based on various viewpoints
Of the tariff. are being Matched.
The New England delegation, partie-
ularly the members from Massachu-
seets. are going home in a jubilant
frame of mind, and looking forward
TO the greatest period Of industrial &C
tivity in the history of that section OF
the country. senators crane and Lodge
were careful to hide any trace of en-
thusiasm while their schedules hung in
the balance, but their smiles today are
irrenressible, and they will admit that
New England will get its full share OF
benefits under the Payne law.
Senators from the range county in the
West are not going home with a feel
ing that their constituents will receive
them with glad acclaim. They know
they will have Tot Of explaining to
do, principally on the question of free
hides. Upon President Taft will be
placed the responsibility of taking
away the protection of the Western
farmer for the benefit of the shoe man
ufacturer
More than a score of members Of the
House look with trepidation on the
next Congressional election. They ad-
NIT that they viii have a difficult time
attempting to explain that the Payne
law was real downward revision.
Not only are these members worried.
Prominent members Of the Republican
Congressional Committee do not at
tempt TO conceal the fact that it will
be necessary to put forth herculean
efforts to overcome the sentiment Of
antagonism toward the new law. Thou
sands OF copies of the statement pre-
pared by Chairman Payne will be cir
cuIated throughout the country for the
purpose of combating the statements
contained in pamphlets being circulated
bv various trade associations which are
/ dissatisfied with the increased duties.
