TARIFF DEBATE HINGES
AROUND SPECIFIC RATE
Concern of Representative Or Senator Is
Whether 1t Is High Enough to
Satisfy Constituents.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

~ HERE must be a fair number OF
persons in America who would
like to see this tariff debate
Il turn on the main question
whether, at this time and I'M
der present conditions, a pretty high
protective policy is good for the United
States. A few persons, perhaps, naively
assume that is what the debate is about.
But If one sits in the gallery, one real
ICES the discussion is not about that
at all. Most wildly, II one moves among
the eddying circles OF Senators and
Members who are actually making the
bill, one realizes that discussion about
high tariff versus low tariff Is almost
as remote from this scene as a disputa-
ton about religious modernism or the
Nicene Greed.
What the debate is really about, what
the actual tariff making is really about,
what is actually In the mind Of Sena-
tor or Congressman when he Is most
in earnest-is the tariff rate on SPECIFIC
products raised or made In his State or
district. And in ninety-nine cases out
Of a hundred his concern Is about
whether the rate is high enough to
satisfy his constituents.
This-and the fact is full of meaning
is practically as true Of Democrats as
of Republicans.
The number Of Democrats who be-
lieve their tenure on their seats, their
hold on the loyalty of their constituents,
would be improved by opposing the
principle of protection-the number OF
such Democrats Is so small as TO be
practically none. On the other hand,
the number of Democrats acutely aware
that their tenure is dependent on their
getting a fairly high tariff on some one
or more commodities-that number OF
Democrats is so large as to be prac-
tically all of them.
There are q few, o very few Demo-
Gratis so situated with respect to their
constituents that they can feel they do
not necessarily endanger their seat by
speaking up for the policy Of lower
tariffs. Even these Democrats hardly
feel that they help themselves by stand
ing for the low tariff doctrine. The
more accurate description of their posi-
ton is likely to be quite different. They
do not have in their districts any in
dustry or industries which hold them
responsible for getting Cor at the least
for not impending) satisfactory protec-
tive duties In behalf Of these particular
industries.
Notion Of Contest Is Dream.
That Is the reality of the present
tariff debate. The notion that there is
a contest on between low tariff advo-
Gates and high tariff advocates is a
dream that can only be held by some
one far distant from the reality of
tariff making.
It is doubtful If, throughout the
Of such dreamers. The average person
and every politician knows this
assumes that Washington will make
rates or keep rates that will maintain
prosperity in the particular business in
which each person Is interested. The
average person takes the continuance
of prosperity for granted. The great
bulk Of average persons vaguely take it
for granted that the continuance of
