An Object Lesson.

Congress can and perhaps will compel the collection of Dingley duties In the caual strip, but the government will simply pay these duties to Itself. It could pass a law' providing that none but American materials nud American lal*or shall be used lu the cuual, but we doubt If It will directly or deliberately put an extra burden of I>erbaps $100,000,000 or $200,000,000 upon the people. The object lesson of the cost of the American tariff is made plain enough by the commission’s action. Congress, we think, will hardly dare to make It plalner.—Mlnneapolls Tribune.
