STATESMEN DICKERING. Compromise Made Between President and Party Lesxdevs foe 0;un. The startling statement his been glvtu out at Washiugion that a I ui raaüai has been affected between

President Roosevelt and Speaker Can

non on railroad i.ite legi.-l.it ion and '.uriff revision. It sems that "Ureallent Rootevelt baa agreed not to pretaj Rata the tariff question In any form n OOagraaa until near the close of the tesslon. w hen he will send ln a special message suggesting the advisability of Inaugurating at an early date what the :hlef magistrate Is pi. a I to call a reidjustment of the tariff." Bangs' St Cannon on his part Is to "see to it that whatever measure on the subj'it ot railroad rates may be presented to the house with the administration's approval shall be put through that body with as nearly a unanimous vote of the republican side of the chamber as practicable." This dickering of these two distinguished republican statesmen to try and stem tho tide that has set in aL'alust their party, could only he attempted by republbans. To aoema the r'.presentatlTes of the people by the use

f the power of patronaue and favors that are vested in the president and speaker is an extraordinary spectacle. The republican tariff reformers may well cry out that the compromise leaiea them up in the air. for It Is evident Uiat th.- nropos.-d tariff me-sa.v

will be sent to congress too late for ictlon at this Fes-ion and as no tariff eui-lation can be attempted at the ihott se-sien next year, the whole pseatton of tariff, trusts and high C St f living is postponed until a new concresn Is elected, which will not convene until December. IO07. It Is fair to assume that the presb lent Is but lukewarm ln reforming tha tariff and hl3 promised messaee next summer is to be a pelttfea stump speech to attempt to hold his party in line at the election In November when a new congress will be voted for. The trusts and combines and all the special Interests that are plundering the people through the protection granted In the tariff law, are thus granted anothir lease of power with the opportunity of concentrating all their wealth and power to elect stand patters to congress ln enough districts to give them

.ontrol of the Sixtieth congress. The expected subserviency of the republican members of congress to th se leaders for any plan that may be ' onrooted to prevent a free and fair disrusslon of a great public question like the tariff Issue and a vote so that the people may know what their repnsenitlves really stand for may fall of the unanimity expected. As it is now representative government Is only in name, for congress and the country is

really controlled by two men. who though entirely opposed to each other fn nearly every lssu, compromise and dicker to suit their own purposes and -oneressmen are but pawns on the po litlcal chess board.
