Iii'.-1, it b.vt poop! would not be wis to revr-e the tariif ivav, because political af fairs have quk'b.'J, and it would injure business to stir up tariff, matters; tha n, later, it would be unwise to revise the tariif before the Presidential election, because flrtnficiontly with business, with out the additional "scare" of up set tariff schedules; and then af ter election, the argument has been that the country has suffer ed enough from political interfer ence with their business to en title them to be "spared" the further disquieting effects of a tariff re-vision discussion. Inasmuch as the tim of the nation ail is divided into three periods between election, just before election and just after election it has appeared hither to difficult for the friends of pro tection of the ultra-high variety to locate a point of time when re vision would be wise. Does it matter when the tariff is re.v.sed? Let us see. Presi dent Van Cleave, of the National Manufacturers' Association, ad mits that the prevailing high tar iif causes annually the addition of $o,0U0,000 for each working day to the cost of goods bought by the people o! the United States, or a total increase of $1)00, 000,000 each year. Four years ago, the country was promised that "when the necessity arose for the revision ot the tariff, the Republican party would revise it." or words to that ell'ect. If President Van Cleave be correct in his estimate, then it has cost the nation tTOOO.POO.OOO a year, or vo, 000,0( '0,000 for the past four years, because the "nece.-sity for revision" seemed not to have ans-.n. m tne opinion or tne "standpnt" friends of tiie exist ing too high tar'lf. "l!y their fruits ye shall know tlu-m," and "proof of the pud ding is in the eating," are (af ferent statements of the same idea. Assume that it has been applied to the (appaiently) un revisable tariff, tiooked it from past performances, ) keeping in mind that practically all the bless ings of the American people have been credited to that same exist ing tariff laws, and then read these figures, vouched for by un i in eac h able au t horit i es : The wealth of the nation is $1u7,10 1,211,017; yet 70 per cent of it is owned by L'OO.OOO persons, the other 30 per cent belonging to about 90,000,000; 5,000 persons own one-sixth of that total wealth; when the steel trust dir ectors meet around the board table, they represent one-twelfth of the whole country s wealth Everyone has seen that picture (') i, '')!

Mr. Hitchcock gave the candidate a detailed account of the reports he has been receiv ing from national, State and local leaders from all sections of the country. These reports he said, embraced all phases of political conditions, some good and others not so eood. Judge Taft took his usual morn ing fishing trip but with no suc cess. Lynching In Georgia.
