Now For The Tariff.

~ hS" auuiuistid dtiou 10 III po"Si,
pledged to revise the tariff, and pre-
pared to redeem the pledge. The
situation is not unlike that in 1907;
then the members Of the committee
on ways and means of the Republi-
can party, viii h was about to have
all the power and the responsibility
for legislation, held protracted hear
ings. President Mckinley called an
extra session Of Congress to meet on
March IS, 1897, and two days after
the session opened, Mr., Dlng!ey
introduced the bill that was the basis
OF the tariff act that bears his name.
Substitute Democratic for Republi-
can; Wilson for Mckinley; Under
wood for Dingiey; and 1913 for
1897; and history seems to be re-
pea,lng itself.
But the pendulum of tariff changes
has now reached the other end of it's
course. 1t has swung back and forth
several tlmes-not regularly, tor it
has fingered longest at one end.
Except under the gradually diminish
ing CLAY compromise tariff" from
1888 I842; the Walker tariff from
I846 to 1861; and the German
Wilson act from 1894 to 1897,
the national policy has been to
maintain protective duties. Now
protection. as the advocates
of that policy have considered nee.
essary, is to give place to com
petitlve" tariff. That means that
instead of such duties as hinder and
often prevent people from importing
foreign goods that compete with
American products of the same class,
we are to have tariff that so far as
possible will place Americans and
foreigners on equal terms, and tha,
will permit enough competition be-
tween them to reduce the cost OF
goods to the consumer.
1t is difficult experiment, tor the
task OF SO adjusting rates as to give
neither the domestic nor the toreigL
producer an advantage is exceedingly
delicate Probably it is impossible
to adjust the duties in such way
that they will work no injury to any
one. A rate that will enable some
concerns to do business successful,
may ruin others in the same business

of the first six innings the first man

out of those five times the man
