Time and the Tariff.

| August next is the latest date fixed in
popular speculation for supplanting the
Payne law with the Underwood law. That
will give the new tariff trial Of some
| fifteen months before the election when
| the people will pass on the measure at
| the polls. A new House and a third
! of the Senate will be chosen in Novem-
Der. 1914.
| A fair trial was considered important in
the case of the Payne law: and the trial
obtained was about the length of that set
for the Underwood law.
But the Payne law was condemned at
the polls. In fact, it went into the con-
gressional campaign of 1910 handicapped
by the divisions it had caused in the re-
publican party while shaping in Con-
gress, and it never recovered from their
effects. The republican defeat was
presaged a year before election day. and
would have taken place had the election
been held in any month between the pas
sage of the law and November. 1910.
when 1t did take place.
In that contest. as in that of last fall.
the republicans defeated themselves. Mr..
Clark is as much Speaker by the grace
or folly-of the opposition as Mr.. Wilson
his place except through divided repub-
lican ranks. A united republican party
would have given Mr.. Cannon a fifth
term as Speaker and Mr.. Taft second
las President.
So that while time is an element in
trying out a new tariff law, it is not all
important. OF far greater consequence
lis il TO hold the revisers together in
their work. and turn out a measure
with solid party approval behind it.
They revise in vain who wrangle over
the task SO bitterly as to provide the
opposition with material for use on the
stump
Let the democrats take warning Let
Mr.. Wilson, now that the campaign is
over. take definite stand. Let Mr..
Underwood and MIR. Bryan il possible
compose their differences about wool and
metals. Let such democrats as believe
in protection indicate where in their
judgment it should apply. and let such
democrats as. while decrying protection
stealing continues. state the amount OF
the plumber they think is coming to them
Now is the accepted time: now the day
for agreement A little while and it may
be too late.
Confession is good for the soul. Espe-
cially when the truth is already known.
Everybody knows that the, democrats are
divided on the tariff, that there are free
traders and protectionists in that party,
and all of US have just seen an ilustra-
ton of the fact that. a party divided
against itself at the polls cannot stand.

Entered as seconded mail matter at the posi-
Office at Washington. d. O.
Two Objections to Mr.. Bryan.

The latest reasons offered by his op-
ponents why Mr.. Bryan should not De
appointed Secretary of State are CD tha'
he is not on terms with either Speaker
Clark or Leader Underwood. and CD his
views about the Philippines might precip-
itate trouble. Neither is weighty.
1t is not likely that either Mr.. CLARK
or Mr.. Underwood will ever again be on
cordial terms with Mr.. Bryan. He has
injured Mr.. Clark deeply. But for him
the Missourian would now be awaiting
inauguration as President of the United
states And he has offended Mr. Under
wood deeply He has in effect charged
the Alaba milan with being near-repuo-
lean and with shaping his tariff policy
in the House somewhat according to his
personal nterests-a charge which MT
Underwood has resented with we'll justi-
fed warmth
But as Secretary of State Mr.. Bryan
would be little If at all thrown with either
the Speaker or the leader of the House
about business. and he could meet them
at social functions without embarrass-
ment on either side. Receptions are large.
Greetings are formal. They might man.
age il as ships that pass in the night.
AS for the Philippines. Congress will
settle whatever question or questions
may arise as to them. Not even Presi-
lent Wilson will of his own motion be

is Mr. Bryan any more committed on
he subject of the Philippines than any
other democratic leader? Did not all of
hem accept the declaration of the Balti-
more platform on the subject. So that
point is of no value.
But, as a matter of fact did the voters

BARRING CASTRO.

In trying to bar Castro from the

insure his prompt departure from these

From the Baltimore sun.

Uncle Sam to speed the coming guest.
