TARIFF IS NOT ALL
More Than One Issue in the Com
ing Campaign.
Republicans VIII Err in Placing I'm
due Stress on the Necessity for Re-
turning to Policy of Protection

The president is - opinion that the
tari1Sis the only issue the Republicans
have, and he Is expecting them to
specialize on it in their effort to pre-
vent his reelection. He is probably
wrong, but the Republicans would do
well to consider his views, remarks
the Washington Post
The Democrats began to specialize
on the tariff thirty years ago. 1t be-
came practically their only issue. Mr..
Cleveland selected it as the basis of
his appeal for reelection His mes
sage to congress in December, 1887,
dealt exclusively with the tariff; but
he stated his case then in such ex-
treme terms he tried six months later
to hedge. He paid the penalty of,
such maneuyer.
Four years later the Democrats,
again under his leadership, made the
tariff their leading, and practically
only, issue, and won at the polls. But
their success, achieved on a platform
greatly exaggerating what might be
expected from the revision they prom
ised, turned to ashes in Office. The
legislation they enacted failed in op-
GRAFTON, and the failure contributed
largely to their defeat at the next pres
idential election
Again giving the tariff overshadow-
ing importance, they made their fight
| on 1t in 1912, and in that campaign
advanced the shrieking absurdity that
the high cost of living was due to the
policy Of protection. The result stares
them in the face, and confuses them
beyond their ability to explain The
| cost of living has steadily mounted
under their corrective legislation, and
| is now higher than ever before
! The lesson seems plain. Where a
! party addresses itself to but one is
sue, and makes appeal after appeal
on that, it magnifies it out of reason.
1t promises wonders that cannot be
performed; and when the inevitable
exposure comes it is overwhelming.
Much has always been promised in
the name of protection, and much ac-
/ complished. It is still valuable cam
/ paign cry, and we shall hear it often
in the coming campaign. But the Re
/ publicans will err greatly at Chicago
If they lay sole, or even undue, stress
on the tariff. Protection has done a
great deal for the country. and il
given another trial will do a great
deal more; but, alone, 1t could moi
remedy the evils charged against the
| administration. If a change is or
dered in November. the Republicans
in control again, will confront a SIT

legislation, however well constructed

had stood among many others; until
this morning she had never missed it,
for she seemed hardly to have been
in her room all the week; but she had
been wondering who had removed it,
whether Cazalet himself (who had
spoken of doing so, she now knew
why), or Martha (whom she would not
question about it, in a fit of ungov-

was the photograph back in it's place,

And then Blanche just said, Poor

self. And Toye seized upon the words
as she had seized on nothing from
him.
Have you only pity for the fellow?'
he cried; for she was gazing at the
bearded photograph without revul

attending.

LINCOLN As ARTIST
Must Be Accorded That Distinc-
ton in Addition to That
of Statesman.

w 7 E know that both in youth
Mn and in age, Lincoln was
v " great reader of Shake
speare. Probably that wide
and ardent spirit, dreaming at large
upon the full possibilities of life,
dreamed at times of doing something
of the work that Shakespeare did, of
rejecting the manifold humanity of
America in imperishable verse. If SO,
the dreams were lightly discarded. and
Lincoln as a writer contented himself
with putting the weighty needs of
every day into language of firm tex
ture, and when he willed. of high i'm
mortal eloquence.
But Lincoln had kinship with
Shakespeare, the supreme artist, in far
deeper ways than in the mere mastery
of words. He saw life on the high
plane of eternity, as Shakespeare saw
it and as every true artist sees it.
From this poetical temperament
came Lincoln's melancholy. He ac-
cepted the hard facts of life as calmly
as any man, and fought meanness and
greed and sly cunning and open base
ness, as if victory over them were
all he cared for. Yet at the same
time, with the poets sense of things
beyond, he saw not only the pettiness
of defeat, but the pettiness of present
victory compared with the years be-
fore and the years after, and the vast
uncertainty of the destinies of men.
Who has known this melancholy and
expressed it better than Shakespeare?
From his poetical temperament,
again, came Lincoln's humor, SO close
ly akin to Shakespeare's. 1t is world
removed from the ncsy clatter of
trivial laughter. Lincoln was no
laugher, and we are sure that Shake
speare was not Just as the sense of
the cropping mystery of things breeds
sadness in its pathetic aspect, so the
| contrast between the huge eagerness
of men and their pitiful accomplish
ment breeds smile, not of mockery
or scorn, but of the tendeEest pity and
kindliness.
| Finally, Shakespeare's supreme
greatness as an artist was in his COM
| prehension-by loving sympathy-of
| the hearts of men, of all men Was
not that Lincolnss greatness, too?
Shakespeare used his gift to create
men and women who can never die.
Lincoln used his to play like a great
master on instruments SO different as
Seward and Chase and Stanton, as Nc
Clellan and Hooker and Sherman and
Grant, and by his genius reunited q
nation that as long as it lives, will
remember him.
The chief fruitfulness of this point
of view is that it brings out clearly
the distinction between Lincoln and
even the greatest of his contempor-
aries, say Seward and Grant in the
North, and Lee and Davis in the South
They were all practical men, men alb
sorbed in the immense affairs in which
they were engaged. They did not look
above or beyond them. Lincoln did

Lincoln's Place in History.

Abraham Lincoln was one of the su-
premely great men of his day. He
grows bigger and bigger all the time,
and a thousand years from now his
fame will be immensely vaster than
it is at the preesnt time. No man in
all the tide of time ever filled a more
difficult or trying place than he held
for four years. and the verdict of his
tory is that he measured squarely I'm
to his tremendous responsibilities. It
is doubtful if any other man in the
country could have saved the day.
