OH HOW THEY HEDGE!

The republicans themselves see the
handwriting op the wall IL the inde-.
fensiblc aud iniquitous tariff sched-
ules are passed before election, and
they are row trying in every way TO
hedge and get the ''vile thing" out of
sight until after the ballot battle in
November realizing that If they do
not their cake is dough. Just as a
sample Of the cry that is now heard
from every republican paper that has
not lost its head. take this from that
great Republican apostle. the New
York Herald, which suppllcates:
when the senate revolt against the
Fordnfy-McCumber tariff monstroslty
starts with two or three Independent
members of the majority party in con-
troll; when next it picks up several
more members who always are OF the
| organization hut seldom hidebound
and never stone blind: when later 1t
| gathers in still other members who
recognize political danger as it begins
to crash over their heads; when fin
| ally it sweeps along cherished hard
boiled tariff standpatters, as in the
case Of the overthrow of certain out
rageous glove schcdules-when the
senate tariff revolt becomes a noun
tain slide. carrying away everything.
it is pretty nearly time for even the
Fordneys and the McCumbers to wake
up.
THE majority control of the Unit
cd States senate. the very machine in
charge of the tariff now recognizes
that the measure Is not right. cannot
be accepted by the American people
and is sure to become a high political
explosive.
THE congress machine also must
realize that in the brief time left be-
tween now and the national cam.
paign for all the seats in the house
Of representative and many OF the
seats in the senate, this tariff measure
cannot be made right and cannot b'
made safe.

with meat. The Missouri prison Is

CAUGHT FoRDNEY IN THE ACT

1t is just as hard and as hopeless to
try to defend the proposed tariff on
woods and woolens, as was the attempt
of the same kind on the famous
Schedule X" Of the Payne-Aldrich
concoction. But there are still those
who rush in where angels fear to
tread" Among the number Of such
is Congressman Fordney, the head Of
the ways and means committee, who
has some responsibility for the tariff
measure now being considered. Goad-
ed by some constituents, who sent him
statements that the new wool duties
would make suits cost 81 and over
coats $3.50 more, he addressed a let
ter to the local firm of Cohen, Gold
man & Co. which was responsible for
the calculation. In this letter he told
the firm that the proposed wool duty
was the Same as in the Dlngley and
Paync-Aldrich tariff bills, and he add
cd that other statements by tho firm
were equally unsOund and untruth-
full" Mr.. Fordney was not wise in
writing this letter. 1t afforded Will
lam Goldman, the head of the firm,
and an authoritv in wool matters, the
opportunity not only TO show that Mr..
Fordnoy was not telling the truth, but
also that he knew he was not. In
