THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF

Congressman Mckinley. Republi.
can. of California. has just returned
10 Washington after Western and
Southern trip. and makes the re-
markable statement that while the
West is dissatisfied with the new
tariff law. such is not the case in the
South. where the bill is regarded
with favor. Republicans will doubt
less find this but cold comfort, as
Congressman of that party are as
scare in Southern States as June APP
Piles in December. but even any COM
fort derived from Mr.. McKinley's
interview will speedily take fight
should they see fit to make an actua
investigation of conditions in the
South. As a matter of fact. the
Southern people have not been as
loud in their protests against the law
as those of the West and Northwest
simply by reason of the fact that the
South, unlike those confiding sec
tons which vote the Republican
ticket. had no faith in Republican
promises of tariff revision, and.
therefore, was neither surprised or
disappointed when the party IN
power failed to carry out its solemn
pledges to the people.
When the November elections are
held Mr.. Mckinley will find that the
South has joined hands with the
West in placing the seal of her dis
approval on this law, and that she
has, by her vote. absolutely repudi-
ated any idea that she stands for
tariff robbery Of the kind inflicted
