MORE STRENGTH TO HIS ELBOW

CENATOR UNDERWOOD Is deliver
- ing some vigorous blows at those
who oppose the return Of the Republicans
10 power. He insists that the tariff law
which he assisted in framing is so good
that it does not need revising, and he
thinks that Congress should be trusted to
make the tariff laws, anyway, without
interference from any tariff commission.
II his Republican colleagues are wise
they will bait him on. The more the
Democratic leaders oppose adjusting the
tariff TO meet the exigencies Of the future,
the more certain II becomes that the task
Of tariff legislation will be Intrusted to
men who know something about it.
Mr.. Underwood may be right in his
assertion that dyestuffs need no protec-
ton; but the majority Of Americans do
not agree with him. 1t may be that our
chemists can produce dyes as cheaply as
the German chemists, but they have not
done it yet and every large textile mill has
been suffering because Of this failure They
have not even succeeded in making dyes

which now prevail through the failure

comes, Germany viii be in better shape
than ever to flood our markets. for the
reason that she has been manufacturing

than in time Of peace and is using them
