That with the Democratic party al
ready in power in the House, and hav-
ing visible chance of coming into COM
plete power in the National Govern
ment, it is of interest to learn from
what viewpoint the actual pilot-in-charge
of the Democracy's legislative ship looks
at his task and by what stars he shapes
his course.
Are they fixed and steadfast lights of
the political armament or are they mere
ly those will-o'-the wisps that flame up
as paramount issues" for this year,
only to be forgotten next year? We
get comforting light on this question
from another remark by Mr.. Under
wood
81 think the big question is the tariff
1t is the question of the development of
the industries and commerce of the
nation"
From a Democrat that is a remark
well-nigh startling 1t exhibits such an
unusual viewpoint. 1t is almost like
hearing Andrew Carnegie confess that
there might be such a thing as a right
eous war. Heretofore, our Democratic
statesmen have so uniformly declared
that there was nothing to the tariff
question but stopping robbers" from
robbing.
They never seemed to think of a tariff
as having anything to do with the de-
velopment OF industries and commerce.
Mr.. Underwood does. He says we
should reduce our tariff because with
the settlement of the West we have left
behind the days when our home market
absorbed the products of our factories
and left us no surplus for which we
needed to look for a market abroad.
He holds that our industrial develop
ment has outstripped the increase in
domestic demand, and that we are pro-
ducing, or at least have the existing ca
pacity to produce, a great surplus of
manufactures for which we must find
markets in other countries Therefore,
and since eve cannot trade with other
people unless we permit them to trade
with us" reduce the tariff to a COMPETE
tive basis-to the Lowest rates that will
raise the revenues that the exigencies
of the Government require"
One may agree or disagree with that
theory of tariff-making. One may disbe-
lieve that its effects will be develop
ment of the industries and commerce of
the nation" But at least it is theory
consistent with itself and protesting
constructive aims and not merely clam
oring for destruction.
And its proponent is no doctrinaire
fresh from academic halls with his nod
die crammed with Solutions" of every
thing Neither is he the freak product
of passing popular delight with the latest
novelty among political entertainers. =

A FIGURE OF NATIONAL SIZE

The emphasis here is placed upon Mr..
Underwood's wisdom, but along with
this is mentioned his honesty.
These two qualities greatly impress
every one who comes into association
with Mr.. Underwood, or who closely
follows his course in Congress and in
public life. He is wise: he does not
disturb himself about little things; his
own personality is not obtruded; his
political ambitions play no part in gov
erning his words and actions. He has
an eye single to the performance of
duty and believes that duty we'll per-
formed is the most urgent considera-
ton. If doing his duty should mar his
fortunes-as he certainly believed it
would when he voted against the pen
sion bill-he will take what comes with
