CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DIFFER
ENT NOW

The Newport News Tmes-Herald
commenting on the discussion con-
corning votes cast at the last session
by Senator Martin in connection
with the lumber schedules of the
tariff bill, calls attention to the fact
that Congressman Glass, Saunders
and Lamb also voted for these sched'
ules and our contemporary might
have also included Senator Daniel IN
the list. The Tmes-Herald, while
not approving high tariff schedules
but on the other hand excusing them,
thinks the fact that the Republicans
were in the saddle and determined
TO pass a tariff bill favorable to their
sections of the country had great
deal TO do with the casting of Dem
ocratic votes for certain schedules OF
the Payne-Aldrich bill and does not
look upon Democratic representa-
tiyes who so voted as protectionists.
However. The Tmes-Herald goes on
to say:
'Rut the case is different now.
The House is Democratic and It is up
to that body to revise the tariff after
Democratic fashion. Now is the
time for every Democrat to show his
eolors. Now is the time for Demo-
Gratis in the House to get together
and make and pass tariff Dill that
will bring about, if passed, genuine
tariff reform. Then send 1t over TO
the Senate and put It up. to that
body. Then see how Martin votes.
If he then fails to Go his duty as a
Democrat, let him be condemned
and rebuked as he deserves.
We heartily endorse the above and
believing that no better Democrats
can be found in either House or Sen
ate than Messrs. Martin, Glass, Saun-
ders and Lamb, we are absolutely
confident that each and every one OF
them will at the present session be
found voting in strict accordance
with good old Democratic principles
of tariff for revenue, so far as the
Democrats in the House may deem
it expedient to attempt the reviS on
of the Payne-Aldrich schedules. As
The Times-Herald says, it is mighty
hard for representatives from the
South, facing, as was the case IN the
last Congress, an inevitable high
tariff measure, to sit quietly by ano
watch other sections garner all oil
its benefits and not attempt to pro-
tect their own section. Now, as our
contemporary pertinently says, the
case is different. The Democrats
control the House and Democrats
and revision Republicans control the
Senate. Under these circumstances
Democratic representatives or Sena-
tors who votes against revision VIII
be called strictly to account.
