: 7 REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
BEING shut out of foreign markets is
beginning to arouse the eastern business inter
ests to a realization that something must be done
in the matter of the tariff and the panacea proposed
reciprocity. There was a time wjienreciprocity, hon
estly proposed andexecjxtedwouTd have done much, but
that day is past or is rapidly passing. -. The allied manu
facturing Interests of the country throttled that plan and
thus hastened the day of tariff. revision. It is somewhat
remarkable that the commercial bodies of the country
have never been inclined to make a move until such. time
as their-ioreiga-trade i threatened. . So long as they
could freely enter all markets of the world and shut out
competition from their own country the American con
sumer, whtf largely paid the penalty was not-consideredl
and indeed did not consider himself. . If they had been
content with reasonable profits, if they had not sought
to gobble everything in sight and to squeeze the heart's
blood ont of their fellow citizens, all might still be well
for them. But with the tariff wall on one side to pre
vent relief they put on the price all the traffic wtfuld
bear and through their combinationtldragged forth the
very last cent that could be reached. -
The natural reaction has now set in. The people have
suffered such heavy impositions that, it is not likely they
will be satisfied with half measures of relief. To them
the tariff is no longer, sacred, for under its name, under
law created by themselves, impositions have been prac
ticed that make one's blood boil to contemplate.
There must be revision of the tariff and it most be suf
ficiently sweeping in character to afford relief and to
shear from the trusts . and combinations some -of the
power which they have so ruthlessly used. So far as the
foreign markets are concerned we cannot always hope to
sell everything while we shut out every article of foreign
make by a high Tariff. There -must be a certain decree
of reciprocity. But while we are doing something to pro
tect the foreign markets for the manufacturer, something
