J !:<•>• AVonlil Do It if They Could V. itcn tlio Time Come., but ('h- L'.ncmleN of I'rntect ion Will Xol Wait For 1 lint Time to Arrive. Tlio tariff cannot be revised down ward liy the friends of protection. It would be well if this fact were grasped lightly and kept plainly in view by those platform writers who, while pro f.w 'iii: undying devotion to the policy of protection, declare themselves ready I t take from the tariff more or less of tl>_> protection which is now provided I',.r in the schedules. Let us not be misunderstood. We ipf not saying that the true friends of protection would not if tliey could, when tlie proper time should arrive and when the work of revision could Ic undertaken without shock or hurt to business and to wage paying and wage earning, rectify, amend and lm provo the tariff. They would gladly do this if they had the power and were permitted to exercise it. But they will not have the power. The power to revise the tariff down ward; the power to punish the trusts by taking protection away from them aud also from the nontrust producers; the power to favor one section with free raw materials at the expense of other sections which produce such ma terial : the power to install a scheme of reciprocity in competing articles "by executive authority"—a despotic, dnn m >n>iis and intolerable power when in llie hands of a possible Bryan or Cleve land, and a power which ought never II be placed in tlio hands of any one i: n- :: 11 this power will not rest with 11! ■ friends of protection. It will rest with and be exercised by a i-oal'tion if free traders aud "reform c 112 avowed enemies of protection jr'v'-'y cooperating with the theorists r • ipN'nsy tinkers, the free hides men, I lie fi' e sole leather men, the l'ree liun ior i -n. the free wood pulp men. all ti ■ ; ft:-1 busters, the advocates of a j..re;'. ."t foreign competition as a means of Iceaking down domestic prices, t ie. ihivoc tes of Canadian reciprocity, the Ivocates of tarifl' reduction in the shape of jrencral reciprocity. All these forces will combine when the tariff is revised, and they will gov ern the result. The friends of protec tion will be in the minority. They will not 1: ivc a controlling voice when the ie it comes. The vote in caucus which decrees Hint tS.o subject of tariff revision shall be taken up will not be cast by the fi i'n's of protection. The very fact of srti-h a caucus decision will be proof p'itive that the friends of protection are no longer in the majority.

Tile friends of proavtio i stand re:; to revise the t:ifT whenever then •• of revision Khali become apparent whenever revision will do more than harm to the greatest number Tlie.v will, when that time co;ves, I c perfectly prepared to undertake tin work of revising the tariff in both di rections, np as well as down. They would if they could add protection in some places and reduce protective du tics in other places. They woul 1, for example, take cognizance of the fact that we are now importing each year j between $000,000,000 and $700,000,000 I worth of dutiable and competitive 1 ; goods. They would Increase the tariff ! 0:1 these goods alike for revenue and | for protection. This they would gladly ! do. j But that is not likely to be the shape I that tariff revision will take. Revision ! downward is the demand of the free ] traders and "reformers." Immediate 1 revision is what this coalition calls for. I So when tariff revision comes it will ! come not only before there Is need of jit, but it will come In the shape of all 1 around reductions, the nature aud ex j tent of which 110 man can foresee. This kind of tariff revision will be forced by the enemies of protection. The friends of protection will not revise the tariff. BRYAN AND THE TARIFF. rile I'eerlesH C'am!idnte Qualified to l.euil Free Traile Cohort.. The enthusiasm with which tho Dem ocratic leaders are bailing the coming of Mr. Bryan from his tour through foreign parts and the fact that a num ber of state delegations in various parts of the country have given in dorsement to the proposition for mak ing Mr. Bryah the nominee of the Dem ocratic party in 1008 convince most of the political observers here that unless something unforeseen happens Mr. Bryan will be the Democratic nominee for the presidency, practically without opposition. It also seems to be the opinion that Mr. Bryan hopes to unite the various wings of the Democratic party on a middle ground of compara tive conservatism, abandoning all refer ences to the money question and mak ing the campaign solely upon tho issue of the tariff and opposition to corpora tions. Whatever may be said about the un soundness of Mr. Bryan's economic opinions generally and regardless of the views now entertained by many people throughout the country respect inc the conservatism of Mr. Bryan compared with the striking illustrations the country lias had within the past two or three years of want of con servatism in high places, the country will not forget that William J. Bryan is and always has been a radical op ponent of tiie protective tariff and per sistent in his demands for free trade. It will not be forgotten that Mr. Bryan was a member of the committee on ways and means of the house of rep resentatives iu 1804 and had a con spicuous part in tho work of that com mittee in framing the iniquitous Wilson tariff law. It will not be forgotten that so radical was the Wilson bill when it left the committee of which Mr. Bryan was a conspicuous member that it required the efforts of Senator Gorman and other Democrats in the senate to save It from being the most obnoxious free trade bill ever present ed in congress. Even after the senate Democrats had materially modified the bill the measure when It became a law was so destructive of American inter ests and so liberal in its encourage ment of foreign competition that im ported commodities flooded the markets of the t'ulted States, while the mills and factories throughout this country stood idle and American workingmen dined at soup houses in the leading in dustrial centers of the country. Mr. Bryan has a record on the tariff ■liustiou that qualities him to be the leader of the Democratic party in a I residential campaign on that issue, lie may not be radical at this time on I lie subject of free silver, but the most .iruent free trader in the country would aot lie disappointed on account of want jf radicalism on the part of Mr. Bryau in his denunciation of the protective ■•/ stem. crisis} RHEUMATISM!
