ALMOST 4 TARIFF.

The senate has passed the tariff measure after
months OF talk. That does not mean that It be-
comes law For the senate has made over 1000
changes in the measure II drafted by the
house OF Representatives
The measure adopted bears little resemblance

eye. forced through the lower house.
1t presents in fact. a different theory and diff
fersnt principle OF embargoes
The outstanding fact about the measure is that

OF reconstruction.
As finally drafted 1t is bad that IL is denounced
by every leading newspaper which supported the
administration and could not command a solid
party vote in the senate.
The good features written into the came
from the revolt within the republican party when
the progressive senators from the west aligned
themselves against the leadership OF the Old Guard
and forced few concessions IL behalf Of the farm
OF the nation.
In the framing OF the measure the advice. the
counsel, information gathered by the Tariff
Commission was disregarded and the old plan of
trading favors dominated actions OF members
OF the senate.
A bill which invites the gonism of merchants,
manufacturers. workers. farmers and consumers
can hardly be called towering success.
Every member OF congress seeking re-elec-
apoloCizing for this tariff measure instead
OF defending and applauding it.
This is the thing which to be given the
country the hope of perpetual prosperity a con-
glomeration of illogical schedules and priv
nege. mixture Of greed nd gratitude for cam
paign contributions, which satisfies
What the tariff bill will be when the conference
committees get through with it remains to be seen
When senators Of the PARTY in power openly de-
clare that IT is beyond remedy it must be rather
bad.
The truth is that no new tariff

tariff is demonstrated
Tn, tariff should be a matter OF business, based
on accurate knowledge of world conditions. and
upon definite information

of business, little of economies and less of inter
