ter accumulated routine business and
fixing the time and place for the

probably make number of recon-

CONGRESS will have it's hands full
- at the next session. The particu-
lar matter which will be agitated will
probably not disrupt the union, al
though it has been the subject of con-
tention since the states got together.
1t alb came about through an in
cipient Instruction on the part of
citizens of the District of Columbia.
They got UP a dinner at the New Will
lard hotel in Washington and invited
President Taft. Then they sprung it
on" him that they wanted representa-
ton in the government; wanted rep
resentation on the floor of the house
and senate; wanted a voice in elect
ing the president and a few other lit
tie things.
President Taft told them that If
they wanted little things like that
they ought not to crowd their de-
mands into social affairs. He sug-
gested hat it would be more to their
credit if they started a movement to
get back the slice Of the original Dis
trict of Columbia, which a too gen
erous congress had given back to the
state Of Virginia.
The citizens of the district jumped
at the opportunity. They welcomed it.
1t was more entertaining than a semi
political campaign. 1t would be more

Tariff Bill Settles Nothinu.

It Is as plain as anything can be
that the enactment of this tariff bill
will settle nothing, will not stop the
tariff discussion. Men may urge that
agitation cease, and parties may re-
solve-as they did 60 years ago in re-
gard to the slavery question-that the
tariff agitation ought to cease. But
it will be in vain. The Republican
party might have put through a bill
that would have satisfied the people
SO we'll that they would have been
glad to let the question rest. Or
rather the party could have done this
had it not been so bound and tied to
the interests. But when men find that
the reductions are without effect on
the prices that they must pay for
articles Of ordinary use; that other
reductions are reductions only when
compared with the outrageously in
creased duties in the senate and house
bills; that the duties agreed on are
practically the Dingley duties, and in
some cases higher; and that the two
in which they are chiefly
interested-woolen and cotton-are, if
anything, worse than those now in
force, they will not be likely to &C.
cept with meekness, much less with
gratitude, the work of congress-.

The Tariff Disappointment.

If Mr.. Taft harbors any delusior
that the tariff bill fulflls what the
people of the west understood to be
his promise of revision downward, he
is very much mistaken.
Every provision is for the benefit
of New England and nothing for the
west.
The New England tariff barons
wanted cheaper coal. They can now
secure it from Nova Scotia. New
England leather barons and million.
aire shoemakers wanted free hides.
They receive them. New England
wooden and cotton cloth magnates de-
manded the privilege of raising the
price Of their products. Their demand
is granted.
Eastern glovemakers are well con
tent to retain the Dingley rates, which
give them 95 per cent. of the Amer
lean market for gloves.
There is nothing in the new tariff
bill to repay the great body of Amer
lean wage-earners and farmers for the
money spent in tariff revision.
