had been willing to expose. We should
kindly supply them with much important
information about ourselves, from which
they could and would profit, while We
should remain in ignorance of all 1mpor-
tant information bearing upon their at
fairs
1t need not be said that Congress
should have all available figures AFFECTING
the tariff question: and that they should
be collected by men familiar with tariH
taxation and all business that is under
tribute to it. In other words, in reVis-
ing the tariff Congress should work In
full light and not in darkness
But, in the last analysis, the whole tarifr
problem rests with Congress. Statistics
are much but not all. More than statis-
ties is a plain and truthful declaration
of purpose as to the great underlying
aim of the would-be revisers Is prOtec-
ton an object or only an incident? have
we applied long enough the protection
policy as principle? And should We
now hasten to discard it? Or is there
still much for the policy to do in our
larger efforts for a larger trade at home
and abroad? Whatever statistics are
gathered, the two parties in Congress
will at last pass upon them on the lines
of the old contentious.

Bryan and Murphy.

lnsratitude is catching Or else hnmbug
is spreading. Mr.. Bryan has joined Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt in the gentle
art of swattins old friends.
The peerless leader picks Leader
Murphy and Tammany Hall for excoria-
ton al this time. Let the New York
democracy set both aside at Syracuse
next week. and give the country evi-
dencc of its freedom from boss and cor
rupt rule. Nothing less will satisfy pub
lie sentiment. Throw Dix into the discard.
and nominate "A man for governor fit to
stand Il candidate alongside Woodrow
Wilson.
Let us suppose. Suppose the Baltimore
convention after rejecting Champ Clark
ut Mr.. Bryans command had turned, not
TO Mr.. Wilson, but to Mr.. Bryan himself,
and put the democratic standard again
into his hand. Would he today be advising
as he is now advising as to the leading
party influence in New York state? Who
believes it? What would make him do 1t &?
Repugnance to Mr.. Murphy and his or
ganiZati ton? Does Mr. Bryan really possess
such feeling? When did he acquire 1t :?
What produced 1t? What is the difference
between the Murphy and the Tammany of
today and the Murphy and the Tammany
of four years ago? Why should any man
who consorted with Leader Murphy and
his braves In 1908. or even in 1910, turn
his back upon them now?
| Tammany has three times supported Mr.
Bryan for President. and has been thanked
| by him for its services. He has ridden In
a carriage In public procession with
Richard Croker, and praised him to his
face. He has been photographed with
Charles F. Murphy while clasping the
boss hand in friendship and thankfulness
for promised favors. What, then. explains
his present attitude?
It cannot be that Mr.. Bryan wants
Mr.. Wilson defeated. He wants him
elected. He is counting on profiting by
Mr.. Wilson's success, He may sit at the
head Of the cabinet table. Or. If he should
decide not to accept Office, he may be the
great figure and influence outside of office
And. then. II he can manage to hold Mr.
Wilson to the one-term proposition, there
will be 1915, with all the powerful fedora
patronage In the hands of democrats.
| The explanation probably is that Mr.

A Tariff Commission,

again a tariff commission is proposed
a large tribunal with large powers to in
vestigate the whole tariff problem both at
home and abroad. and show Congress
what to do. Mr.. Roosevelt is full of the
matter. He takes TO commissions like
a duck to water.
We are told that the tariff board failed
because 1t had no power. II could not
compel a showdown on the part of manu-
facturers or merchants. 1t could only
politely request an inspection of the costs
of production and the confidential Stats
tics of trade. AS a result It's labors were
incomplete and unsatisfactory. and there
fore did not appeal to Congress. They
were labors lost.
Do those who propose a commission
with authority to send for persons and
papers and all that realize that such
authority would end at our shores? We
might force our own manufacturers and
merchants to tell their trade secrets, but
foreigners would be outside of our juris-
diction. We could not command them.
We might politely request an inspection
of their books and papers. but II they
politely declined-ias they would be likely
10 dove should be powerless.
What. then. would be the general out
come? A commission would collect all
American data OF value and spread 1t
before Congress. and so before the world,
hut would be able to report only such
data Of our ioreiSn competitors is they
