Whether Europe can recover from the

TARIFF DYNAMITE.

"Fordney Tariff Dynamite" is the
heading of leading editorial in the
New York Herald. 1t is the American
valuation principle of the F'ordney bin
which the Herald has in mind. Never
theless, in spite of the title, the article
by no means opposes that principle.
1t merely recognizes that the thing is
loaded with dynamite, and therefore
requires very careful handling.
But the more the country looks at
it, the less it will be Inclined to trust
safeguard against so dangerous an
explosive. If there were no other OBJ
lection TO ii than the necessarily wide
range it gives to administrative dis
cretion in the levying of duties. that
alone would be a defect OF cardinal
Importance.
For, apart from all questions of in
tegrity or ability on the part OF the
appraising officers, the uncertainty IL
introduces in the importing business
is very much like a monkey wrench
thrown into the machinery. But be-
sides this very serious objection, it
presents in the most extreme form that
feature which in past tariff bills has
been the subject of gravest criticism
by impartial students OF our tariff laws
namely, the Disgusting of actual rates
through complex arrangements whose
effect it is impossible for congress or
the public to perceive from a reading
of the bill.-Weekly Review.
