TARIFF TINKERING BY GUESS
WORK.
When congress moots in special ses
sion to consider the new tariff bill it
will be confronted by a treasury de
ficit. in the current fiscal year,
amounting to well toward a hundred
million dollars.
Krotu July 1 to the end of January,
as compared with two years before,
revenue fell off fifty-three million dol
lars ? three-quarters of the decrease
bring in customs duties ? and expen
ditures increased sixty-nine millions,
of which twenty-five millions was for
army and navy. This is about the
only indisputable fact that congress
will have to go on.
The democrats, we learn, are busi
ly organizing an assault upon the
bill, and the republicans are zealous
ly preparing a defense. So much, of
course, may be taken for granted, no
matter what the provisions of the bill
are. Hut the comprehensive array of
facts in the light of which a tariff bi.l
should be framed, neither side Is in a !
position to supply.
The Ways and .Means Committee |
perfunctorily heard a great many in- 1
terested persons and a few disinter
ested ones. The fifst theory of pro
tection is that the duty must cover
the difference in cost of manufacture ,
here and abroad. When- such a dif ,
ference exists, a tariff commission
could ascertain it with substantial ac
curacy and report it in a way to car- j
ry conviction.
The suggestion of a tariff commis- 1
sion was, however, rejected. The I
House organization preferred to rely
upon its ability to guess at the dif
ference ? in which, probably, it wa
right, since there is not the least dan
ger that it will not guess high euough
With the fact of a heavy treasury
deficit, an assortment of interested
testimony and a genius for tall guess
ing. tariff revision will now proceed.

CANNON UNPOPULAR
The Success Magazine has asked its'
-?>.-48 life subscribers whether they
believe Joseph G. Cannon should be
re-elected Speaker of the House, and ?
out of l.luj answers so far recieved!
1.041 have voted "no." Forty voted i
"yes." Success took a poll of Its lif?
subscribers before the Presidential
election, and the vote by states cor
responded exactly to the official re
turns. In its last poll Success also
asked whether the Speaker of the
House should be given the power of
determining the membership of the
House committees, and 1.05S voted
"no" and twenty-five "yes."
Dos patches from Washington, D. C..
anent the tariff bill are too brief t(.
justify extended comment: but it'*
safe to say that Sereno E. Payn?
will introduce no measure which will
in any way injure the trusts. Sereno
has always guarded their interests
with a jealous eye.
