ALREADY IN TROUBLE
TARIFF-FOR-REvE IDEA
SOMEWHAT SHAKEN.
Democratic Party 10 Not Starting Out
Very Well In the Matter Of Keeping
Faith With Promises Of the
Party Platform.

According to preliminary estimates.
the Democrats in making up their
tariff bill have threatened the treas
ury with a fat loss of $3.50. 900.
more than one-third Of which will be
accounted for by the removal Of the
duty on sugar. In the admission that
they have been unable to raise the
revenue needed by the government.
the Democrats are thus giving a tariff
for-revenue-only q blow in the solar
plexus.
What kind OF . tariff for-revenue-
only is it that fails to raise the needed
revenue? II the Payne law has been
raising the amount of money needed
by the government, and no more,
might 1t not better be called tariff
for-revenue-only? The Democratic
party for years has held that the only
reasonable purpose OF the tariff is to
raise revenue. and that 1t 10 uncon-
stitutional to levy duties in order that
American industries may be given an
advantage over foreign industries.
Taking this view for the sake OF
the argument, how does 1t happen
that the Democrats at the first try-out
In 16 years have failed to raise
the revenue needed from the tariff?
Apparently they have missed the rev.
enue mark by a mile. Were they to fol.
low their party platform literally. their
preliminary estimate ought to show
that they could reduce the tariff and
yet raise the exact amount OF revenue
needed, while eliminating protection
as such.
The party has held to its faith to
the extent Of postponing income tax
legislation until the tariff bill has been
acted upon, but 1t has laid itself open
to the charge that 1t does not know
Just how to put the tari1 on revenue
basis and reducing 1t at the same
time.
One benefit of a protective tarin is
that it is an indirect tax, almost i'm
perceptible in its effect. An income
tax, adopted to make up the def
cheney, will put a severe strain on the
party loyalty OF all Democrats who are
earning over 81 900 a year. Incident
ally, 1t is questionable whether the
party will be able to bring about
lowering OF the price Of commodities.

The Man Who Stood still"

A Fulton (Mo) contemporary. who

saying something particularly bright

monial to the patriotism and states.

still" He stood still while the dem
agogues and place hunters were sour
rying about in their own behalf. He
stood still while the false leaders OF
the people were on all fours with their
ears to the ground. He stood still
while others swept along on the cur
rent OF popular passion and prejudice.
He stood still while others were rid
ing into office on waves of senseless
clamor for a still more senseless
change.
MUTATION Is not unnecessarily d Chahso

highest virtue to stand still, and this
virtue was displayed In a pre-eminent
degree by William H. Taft. who moved
