q. q. a-Prataetixs Tariff.

Admitting the great amount OF de-
tan involved In perfecttng a new
tariff that win safeguard American
wages, still this lie no excuse for
long postponement to give time Tor
England to unload her big surplus OF
cottons and woolens.
I. is fully agreed to create IL
cense commission TO control the i'm
portation of German dyes. and it is
fully as important to control the i'm
port of cotton and woolens right
away, when our mills are staggering
under the load Of excessive taxes
and unprecedented wages. Pro-
tected from unfair competition our
mills will work out the problem all
right. But with existing tariff laws
it is impossible to meet foreign COM
petition. and each week sees increas-
ing receipts of all sorts of textiles.
As a temporary relief. there Is no
good reason why a high tariff is not
fxed-a tariff that fully covers the
situation. Then Congress can spend
all the time it requires in working
out detail. and at its convenience
adjustments can be made and duties
reduced if found necessary.
It is far safer to set a high limit
and work down. and just as sensible,
as to continue the present free-trade
rates and spend months in arriving
at fixed duty that will protect.
While the talkfest is going on our
foreign competitors will get $50

compete with home made products

comparatively easy for him. Barnard
says:
