THE TARIFF SITUATION.

Many admirers and moral supporters
of the rampant and likewise somewhat
militant "insurgents'' will likely sit up
and take notice at the speech delivered
in Boston the other day by Mr.. Frank
lin MacVeagh, secretary of the treas
ury in the Taft cabinet. In a very few
words he expressed the situation exact
~ in respect to the present position of
the Republican party towards the great
tariff question. They are worth repeat
ing and the pertinent points he made
follow:
I'm considering the results of the re-
cent tariff 1t is indispensable to keep
two important factors in mind. The
first is that the Payne law is but an
incident in a tariff movement by and
within the Republican party; the second
is that it is the resultant effect on the
movement which it is important to take
into account and nothing else.
mo one expected this great move
ment to complete itself in single act
of legislation and it was expected to be
clear that the legislation enacted last
August did not end the movement for
tariff revision.
There is one great fact that makes
a new tariff epoch-that is the Repub-
ncan party has changed its front.
Whereas it has been marching toward
higher and higher tariff. it las now
faced about. It has recognized changed
conditions
This declaration of Mr. MacVeagh's
ought TO be most satisfactory to all the
Republicans of the nation and even to
the insurgents" if they are disposed to
play fair. So far. most OF the ''insurging''
that has been done has been in respect
to tariff legislation. There is no indi-
cation yet that the many important
public questions which are yet to be
handled by President Taft and congress
will be treated in such way as to
warrant the displeasure of the "insur-
gent class, although when folks start
an "insurgent" movement they are like
1y to keep it UP whether there is or is
not good and sufficient reason for it.
1t brings publicity to them. you know,
that they might not be able to get
without it.
That the new tariff law is a great
step in the right direction of a needed
tariff revision there can be no doubt.
That 1T is only one step. too. and in no

sense a permanent revision for any con-
tinued number of years chat the present
personnel of the federal administration
might remain in power is evident, not
alone from Mr.. MacVeagh's speech but
also from what Mr.. Taft had to say
on the subject of the tariff in his re-
cent presidential message. He expresses
the hope, to be sure. that there will
be no tariff tinkering for two or three
years or until the tariff board which
has been created has had time TO make
a thorough investigation of the tariff
question. But he says distinctly in his
discussion of this subject that "if the
facts secured by the tariff board are Of
such character as to show generally
that the rates of duties imposed by the
present tariff law are excessive under
the principles of protection as described
in the platform of The successful party
at the late election. 1 shall not hesitate
to invite the attention of congress to
this fact and to the necessity for ac-
ton predicated thereon" He says fur
Their that he directed this board to make
an investigation that will be wholly
without respect to the effect which the
facts may have in calling for read
justment Of the rates of duty"
There are few people who believe that
the new tariff board will make any
but just such an investigation. 1t al
most goes without saying that this board
will find facts to warrant a further
reduction of duties on many articles
which are now highly protected. Presi-
Dent Taft undoubtedly believes that this
will be the result of the investigation
for every one know that the present
tariff law does not go as far in a va
riety of reductions as he would like to
have had it. And when this tariff board
r,akes its report President Taft will
be ready to ask congress to do it's duty
in the premises. This certainly leaves
the tariff situation in about as salts
factory condition as it could he under
all the circumstances. Congress should
permit it to remain just where it is for
the time being. and all tariff tinkering
should be tabooed at the present ses-
sion. There are other matters a-plenty
Of quite as much Importance to the peo-
pie which need immediate attention.

FRON OTHER PENS
FOR AN INSIDE WATERWAY.

The Atlantic Deeper Waterways as
ISOLATION, which is in convention in
Norfolk this week, is devoted to pro-
ject of much Importance to the south
ern seaboard. This is the construction
of continuous inside watercouse
from Boston to Florida, which will
enable coastwise steamers to avoid the
dangerous reefs that line the coast at
certain points. Such course would
at once do away with a formidable
loss of life and peril to ships and ship
ping, not to mention large saving in
distance, time and cost of operation.
One important link in the proposed
chain, a $10.000,O00 canal through
Cape Cod. has already been taken ov-
err by private capital. The Cape Cod
Canal will cut down the water dis
lance between Boston and New York
by from IA to 142 miles. according to
whether the long or the short route
is used. The great economic impor-
lance of this project can be deduced
from the fact that in 80 years over
700 vessels have been wrecked off
Cape Cod.
An inside waterway from Boston to
Florida could be carried through. it is
estimated, at less than 100000. 900.
It would be extremely well worth The
money. There is little doubt that 1t
will be accomplished some day. and
