TARIFF FIGHT ON rms wEEK.

TN the United States Senate the fight on the Under
i wood Tariff bill will begin in earnest this week.
The Republican members will protest against It's pas
sage and put themselves record against IL, but
there is understanding that they will not resort to
nlibusterng tactics and unnecessarily delay hnal
ton the bill.
10 is a Democratic Senate The Underwood bill
s. Democratic measure. That It viii pass Is ad-
nitted. Therefore. the sole duty Of the Republican
minority is protest. in the name OF the American
people, against the enactment Of such harmful log
istlon and to record themselves in the negative when
the final vote is taken. When they have done that
they will have done their full duty The Democratic
party must take full responsibility for whatever harm
fui results attend the passage Of the bill.
The penalty which the American people will pay for
having defeated President Taft and the Republican
party in the last national election doubtless will be
distressing one They will survive &C. however. and
inspired by bitter experience sober thought
will avail themselves Of the first opportunity TO restore
the Republican party to power 20 repair the damage
