THE TARIFF FIGHT.
Those who, through personal interest, wish to protect the protective tariff, are much worried over the possibilities of the coming campaign. They have made elaborate preparations to carry on the war both in congress and over the country at large. Any newspaper that so desires may have furnished free several columns of illustrated matter each day. This is all paid for by the Protective Tariff League. Any person who so desired may have mailed to him each day literature dealing with the beauties of protective tariff. Each boy, about to cast his Arst vote during the coming campaign, Is especially sought and will be deluged with literature if he can be found. To defray the expense's of all this some of the poverty-stricken manufacturers who fear that they will not be able to charge twice as much as they ought hereafter, and therefore protection, have gone down
ON PLF VSIXG EVERYONE. Politics, as differentiated from statesmanship, Is the noble art of pleasing every one. It is now being lllustiiited at its best, and in most artisFc form by Taft, the administration's candidate for president. The managers of the Taft boom, and perhaps, too, Taft himself, has discovered that the Republican party is made up of two factious. One faction wishes to see the policies of Roosevelt carried out, and are willing to vote for any one who will promise to continue them. The other faction thinks the policies are secondary, and that what is needed in the white house is a man of back!>one and courage and with policies of his own to meet new conditions. Politics for Mr. Taft consists of an attempt to cater to both factions, to be at the same time a parot-like exponent of the president’s policies, and a man who can not be led nor driven but an adherent to policies of his own. As a result of this attempt to carry water on both shoulders we find some very amusing contradictory things In those newspapers which are given over to the Taft cause and are under the control of the Taft managers. In the papers we note one day that Mr. Taft is the only safe candidate for the Republican party, for he is bound by ail political and personal ties to carry out

those who do not believe in the milk | and water follower of the president, the next issue of the paper prints a declaration that Mr. Taft has not promised to carry out any Rooseveltian policies, but will at all times do what seems best to him, without fear or favor. The next issue contlns a contradiction of this statement. And so the campaign goes, and the noble npe(1 i are of pleasing everyone is exempli-

It is quite evident that no Republican will dare to do any thing that will really mean a change in the tariff.
