TARIFF BOARD.

TARIFF BOARD.
Perhaps more important than any one
feature OF the operative part OF the
tariff law is that section which enables
the Executive 70 appoint tariff com
mission. or board. TO secure the needed
information for the proper amendment
and perfection Of the law The difficulty
in fixing the proper tariff rates in ac-
cord with the principle stated IN the
Republican platform Is in securing reli-
able evidence as 10 the difference be-
tween the cost OF production at home
and the cost OF production abroad. The
bias Of the manufacturer seeking pro-
lection and OF the importer opposing II
weakens the weight OF their testimony.
Moreover. when we understand that the
cost Of production differs in one country
abroad from that in another, and that
II changes from year 10 year and from
month TO month. we must realize that
the precise difference IN cost OF produc
ton sought for IS not capable OF def
mite ascertainment, and that all that
even the most scientific person can do
in his investigation is. after considera-
ton OF many facts which he learns, 20
exercise his best judgment in reaching
conclusion.
The commission. however, already Sc
lected and at work. IS a commission OF
disinterested persons, who VIII ascertain
the facts, not in a formal hearing by
examination and cross-examination Of
witnesses. but by the kind of investiga-
ton that statlsticians and scientific in
vestigators use. When the commission
completes its work, either on the entire
tariff or on any OF the schedules In
respect 10 which issue has arisen, and
the work OF the commission shows that
the present tariff Is wrong and should
be changed. I expect TO bring the matter
70 the attention OF the Congress. with q
view TO It's amendment OF the tariff in
that particular. or course. this will be
impracticable unless Congress itself shall
adopt the parliamentary rule as I hope
It will. that bill to amend one schedule
OF the tariff may not be subject TO a
motion TO amend by adding changes in
other schedules
It Will thus be possible TO take I'D a
single schedule with respect TO which It
is probable that a great majority OF
each House will be unprejudiced, 10 adj
nit the evidence and TO reach a fair
conclusion. and this method will tend
70 avoid disturbing business condi-
tons. For these reasons # seems
TO me that all Republicans-conserva
progressive, and radcal-may well abide
the situation with respect to the tariff
until evidence now being accumulated
shall Justify changes in the rates. and
that It IS much better for them to vote
for Republicans than TO help create A
Democratic majority which would be
utterly at war with the protective prin-
ciple. and. therefore. would have no use
for the findings Of the Tariff Commission.

Democratic vote in the present Congress

The bill has been criticised for certain
Of its rates and schedules. Some Of the
criticisms are just and some are wide OF
the mark and most unjust.
The truth is that under the old pro
tective idea the only purpose was TO make
the tariff high enough 10 protect the home
Industry. The excess OF the tariff over
the difference In the cost OF production
here and abroad was not regarded as
Objectionable because II was supposed
that competition between those who en-
joyed the high protection would keep the
price for the consumer down to what
was reasonable for the manufacturer.
The evil Of excessive rates. however.
showed itself in the temptation Of manu-
facturers 10 combine and suppress com

so as to take advantage OF the excess
OF the tariff rate over the difference be

FUTURE LEGISLATION

provisions TO regulate the issue Of stocks
