riiIENDLY REVISION?
TARIFF NOT LIKELY TO BE REVISED
BY PROTECTIONISTS.
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.
When tariff revisiai downward

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.
