W. j. Bryan's View of tic New Tariff
A. Ex,roE.ad in Tho CommouaF


When the history OF the present
tariff struggle is written, credit viii
have 10 be conceded to nearly all the
democratic senators and members for
resisting the temptation to put local
interests above the general welfare
In the discussions of the tariff ques-
ticn heretofore, allowances had to be
made for the pressure Of local bene-
ficiaries upon democrats who in prin-
ciple. repudiated the doctrine Of pro-
lection but, in practice, found II diff
ficult TO make their votes harmonic
with their speeches. This was especi-
Payne-Aldrich bill, when a number
% democrats so far forgot them
selves as to declare that, while they
| opposed protection as a matter of
, principle they wanted their constitu-
ents TO have their share OF 1t so long
as its benefits were being passed
! around.
! When congress met in special ses-
sion, at the call Of President Wilson.
TO reduce the tariff in the interests
| Of the people, the democratic party
]
gether AMI that success was possible
/ only by the recognition Of the right Of
( the consumers to recognition. There
has been, therefore, an astonishingly
small amount Of talk about the claims
| Of particular industries. Only in the
case Of two articles has there been
any considerable effort to retain for
an important product the benefits of
a protective tariff, namely, wool and
sugar.
! Some Of the representatives from
the states where wool is largely pro-
duced felt that the transfer Of this
com modify to the free list might work
a hardship upon portion Of their
constituents. Discussion. however
disclosed. first. that even in the states
where wool is most largely grown the
number Of those specially benefited
is few compared with the number Of
those who woulJ be burdened By the
tax, and. second. that the compeaga-
tory duty which always accompanies
tax upon raw material you'd en-
able the manufacturers q take from
the consumers Of wOolen goods vastly
more than the producers Of wool
could possibly receive. AZ result Of
investigation. the opposition 10 free
wool gradually diminished until the
democratic party was practically a
unit against the tax upon wool.
With free wool has come a greater
reduction in woolen goods than would
have been possible had the tax on
wool been retained and the whole
country will be benefited. II IL not
certain that free wool viii work a
real hardship. even 10 the large sheep
owners, since the increased produc-
tion Of woolen goods in this country
will stimulate a demand for the local
product to mix with the larger guam
tity Of the wool imported. And then.
too. the steadily increasing monopoly
among the manufacturers Of woolens
has left the wool growers at the mer-
| cy of few buyers so that Il is ques-
tionable whether he was In position

People having property along Webb

The Northern Pacific uses that
street more than does any resident

the company was not required to pave

surface material. when Webb street
was paved. It viii be a worse shame
II the company is now allowed TO

1t is natural Of course that railroad
officials do not wish to have the COM
pany bear this expense There were
property owners on Webb street who
did not want TO pay for paving. But
they had no option. The Northern
