kEEPING THE FAITH
New York Wor'd.}

As "a human being trying TO coop
crate with other human beings in a
common service, So President Wilson ;
first message to Congress is an appeal
to party principle aud party honesty.
The country cannot fail to be i'm
pressed by the simplicity. the sincerity
and the restraint Of his utterance. His
message is no call 10 a crusade. On the
contrary. it is a calnr dispassionate
presentation Of a party's duty and re-
sponsibiity.
The President asks Congress to do
only what Congress was elected 10 do.
He wants it to keep its pledges 70 the
people.
Il is plainly 70 be seen that there =
perfect concord between Mr. Wilson
and Mr.. Underwood in the matter Of
tariff revision. They use almost the
same Language in describing the kind
of tariff that must he substituted for
the Payne-Aldrich measure. In place
Of monopoly, privilege and extorti1n
sostered BY statute. there must be "ef-
fective competition. This excludes
that would leave an Amer
lean industry PROSTATE before a for
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-04-13

teign competitor. as well as schedules
that impose artificial advantage in
behalf Of the producer as against the
consumer. An industry that is nc,
ready TO accept such a rule OF action
IS not III 10 survive. 1t doss not be-
long 10 the twentieth century.
The Presidents message TO Con
gress was the easier 10 deliver be-
cause Of the concrete proof OF the par
tvs intentions put forth by the publ
cation OF the Underwood bill the dav
before. No sane human being would
expect unanimity OF judgment about d
tariff bill Such miracle never han
Pened and never will happen. But il
the most adverse criticism OF the
Underwood measure there Is no i'm
parchment OF Democratic good faith.
Even the highest Of INTERPRETATION
lists agre that it represents the BaIti-
more platform. that il redeems the
party's ante-electon promises and
that il spells the sort OF tariff the
country voted for when it elected 2
Democratic President and q Demo
cratic Congress.
We can conceive Of no higher tribute
to the integrity OF a political party.
and if Congress hews TO this line the
American people can have no just
cause Of complaint. whatever may be
the actual results Of tariff revision. Al
Administration that does what il
promised 70 DO. that does what it was
elected 10 DO, is the highest NAMES
talion Of political honesty.
