Hioher Plane Of Debate.

In times past the tariff in congress
has attracted many men whose knowl-
edge of the subject was scant. In the
debates they used the patter of the
stump. They marshaled catch phrases
and poured them out in %profusion. me
rich we're getting richer and the poor
poorer. Robber barons were hogging
everything. Give the poor man a
chance. And so on.
Such deliverances were principally
assertion and came from men without
practical knowledge Of business Of any
kind. They we're particularly unfa'
miliar with big business and could not
have found their way around unassist'
ed In a manufacturing plant.
BY pitching the recent debate on a
higher plane. both Republicans and
Democrats served their parties and
their policies.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1913-12-26

The belief has been assiduously cui.
tivated in this country that protection
ism is essential to its prosperity. This
theory became a tradition with a gen.
GRAFTON that did not know that the
most rapid industrial development in
the nations history came before the
war in an era of low tariff.
Millions of persons have become I'm
bued with the belief that a reduction
in tariff means business distress and
hard times. With a multitude Of poll
ticians this tradition has become their
stock in trade and their chief political
asset.
What is going to happen to these
men when business increases under
the stimulation of the Wilson tarih
law instead of going to pieces? How
are they going to explain? What will
become of their old battle cries?
The outcome is likely to be a serious
impairment of political credits-sucf
an impairment that large numbers o.
politicians are likely to go into polit
ical bankruptcy.

GOOD, BETTER, BEST.

Total abstinence for a town or coun'
ty Is good from a business stand
point, but there Ia something better
and that Is total abstinence for the
state. 1t must certainly be conceded
that a state whose taxable property
has increased in ten years $1.2OO.0Oo''
goo, or at the rate Of $120,O00.O0 o a
year is amazingly prosperous. Kan
sas is the commonwealth of which
this fact is stated. and Ex-Governor
Stubs is the man who vouches for
the figures. He further afiirms that
Kansas contains more taxable prop
erty to the citizen than New York or
Massachusetts; that its farmers W
eighty-five per cent. Of the bank de,
posits. and that these nave increased
At the rate Of $4,000, 900 a year for
ten years; that it has many well
populated agricultural counties In
which the jails and the ~poorhouses
have had no occupants for years.
All the other total abstinence statet
can testify that prohibition brings
financial prosperity as well as hom'
happiness and individual well being

West Endorses Administration.

Out in the western country the
people are approving President Will

Miner of Chicago at the Willard. Mr..
Miner was one of the developers CT
irrigation projects in the western
country and is a strong supporter OF
the administration.
The national banks" continued Mr..
Miner, ARE a unit against the pro-
posed currency measure. but the state
banks are not opposed to currency
legislation. There Is a general i'm
preston that the president Is going to
force through his program Of legisla-
ton and that a currency law will be
written on the statute books before
the present session OF congress Is end
cd. The national banks are opposing
governmental control. Of course. did
not find that the people were greatly
interested in politics. They appear to
have accepted the tariff revision with
the utmost equanimity, and are ready
for any other MISUNDERSTANDING
ton Post.

BETTER THAN HASTE
Slow Congressional DeIiberatlon
Proper.
Under AutocratIc Rule Of Former Re
publican Speakers Important
Measures Had Not the Proper
Consideration Necessary.

Certainly no one can accuse the
Democratic congress OF being head
long in legislation. The Underwood
Simmons tariff bill had been unde
consideration in committee for months
before it was submitted 20 the house,
and after its passage there the leisure
ly senate debated 1t for just four
months before taking favorable action.
Several weeks in conference followed
before 1t reached the president.
The currency bill seems to be follow
ing much the same procedure. hough
President Wilson had hoped to have II
disposed of in the special session, 1t Is
now predicted that serious debate up
on 1t can hardly begin before Decem-
Der s, and that probably two months
more will be required for discussion.
1t seems not unlikely that spring Will
roll around before final action is taken.
In all probability the antitrust legis'
lation which it is proposed to enact
will follow the same program.
1t all seems provokingly slow, but IL
may we'll be believed that the cautious
methods followed by senators and rep
resentatives are the best for o the
country and the dominant party. II
was always brought up against Speak
err Thomas B. Reed, who introduced
the autocratic rules that led to the re
volt against Cannon. that he boosted
that under his regime the house had
ceased to be 4 deliberative body. That
cannot be said of the present congress
