FOE "tlEMNG" WITH
MR. PAGES MISTAKE
Some of our Republican contempo
raries are very much pleased with the
report that Congressman Page of the
Seventh District favors "tinkering"
with the tariff again at the next st
sion b Oongres. If Mr. Page has
been quoted correctly he is malting a
intake, and we are' confident that a
maiority of the Democratic Repre-
ntAtives in Congress will tell him so
whM he trets back to Washington.
There has never been a tariff law that
worked better than the Underwood-
Simmons htw and we do not believe
the eountrv "wants to interfere with it.
Nothing would injure the Democratic
party more than "tinkering" witn me
tariff again -next winter.
Mr. Page is said to favor a modi
fication of Ihe tariff which will place
a duty of "fifteen cents a pound on
wool." We are at a loss to know upon
what ground he bases his belief that
his narticular commodity should be
restored to the dutiable list. As was
nointed out some time ago by the
vircinian-Pilot. the price of raw wool
in the United States during the last
twelve months "have been considerably
kitrnr than at any time within
number of -years, while manufacturers
have been drawing heavily upon for
eign sources of supply to meet their
demands for the product. The Wool
en industry, -too, if we may give cre
dence to a comparatively recent state
wnt of President Wood, of the Amer
ican Woolen Company, who certainly
ought to know whereof he epeaks, is
nmsiierine today as it has not pros-
.1 pered for a comparatively long time
past.
What is there in such conditions to
euggest the need of an impost duty
which could -only have the effect of
increasing the price to the manufac
turer of his imported raw material,
without conferring any benefit upon
the wool prower"? On the contrary,
do hot these conditions demonstrate
' the wisdom of i3ie wool schedule of
4Wnnnrfic tariff law, wnich free-
lists the raw product and reduces the
duties on the manufactured articles
' .nnNxiiablv below those obtaining un

proof of the pudding is in chewing
the bag, and, measured By unw buhio

PAGE AND THE TARIFF
Wilson paper, has -the following:
An Eminently Sensible Position.
Mr." Page, says our Washington
correspondent, will favor a -revenue
tariff on sugar, wool and other com
modities now on the free list.
"An eminently sensible position to
take. The treasury cannot very well
stand much more experimenting along
these lines. It, -was a very great and
grave mistake in the first place to
put sugar on the free list. The sugar
growers, events have ..clearly shown,
did not need the little protection they
were receiving as much as the coun
try needed the money. Many thought
ful Democrats had a full realizing
sense of this, and there is little doubt
that the radical extension of the free
list in the last tariff bill was one of
the President's mistakes. It ought to
be rectified at the first opportunity,
There are few Democrats who do
not admit this to be the case in pri
vate conversation. Moreover, these
Democrats feel it would be the best
form of party patriotism to make
these changes as quickly as possible,
lest the country commission the Re
publican party to make them. Demo
crats standing with Mr. Page and
they will -be-strong both in character
and numbers will have the conscious
ness of serving both the country and
their party.
No less sensible are the views of
Mr. Page on the subject of Prepared
ness. They coincide with those en
tertained by Senator Kern and Mr.
Ritchin. Adequate coast defenses,
submarines and torpedo boats are the
things needed by the country, and
they are all that is needed. Very
few people in this country are inter
ested in a bier naval program, if that
means billions for battleships.
"Let Roosevelt Rajre!"
If the war continues long it may be
necessary to make some chances in
the Simmons-Underwood bill, but it
is I ighly important that we have as
iittle tariff tinVeriMt as possible and
such changes as are made should be
upon the basis of a revenue tariff
with only such incidental protection as
would accrue thereby.
