He perceives the in-
sta.it one man's measure of protection
is cut down be will demand that some
other men's be cut down also, and so
on all around until there Is a general
tariff war. That means,
either an end of the whole system
or a renewal of the long standing com-
pact bastd upon the doctrine that "we

all hang separately.”
It is for Ibis reason that Mr. Shaw
regards it as unwise for the republi-
can parly to declare in favor of any
degree of revision uni 11 It is ready to
undertake the whole task.
This is equivalent to saying that he
is opposed to any declaration by the
republican party in favor of revision
at any time. It is equivalent to say-
ing that he stands with the American
Protective Tariff league against any
reduction, however slight, in the Ding
ley tariff.
The lime will never come when the
republican party will be ready to take
In hand the revision of the tariff
throughout, if by revision is meant
reduction all along the line. It Is
obvious that the time will never come
when a general reduction can be made
without raising a storm of protests
from all the protected Interests. What
is more to the purpose, such reduc-
tions cannot be made without alien
atlng those Interests from tbe repub-
lican party and depriving it of prac-
tically Its only means of retaining
power,
When Mr. Shaw talks about post-
poning reductions until the party Is
ready to make a general reduction he
is playing tha politician. As an Iowan
It would hardly be discreet for him
to say with the tariff league that the
tariff must never be changed under
any rireuniBtanres to the dotting of

It is much safer for him as a poli-
tician lo say that no schedule should
be touched until tho party is ready
to cut all schedules. It Is safer and
it means the samu thing.

Powerful Influence That la Arrayed
Against Reciprocity.
In his battle for Cuban reciprocity
the president has arrayed against him
tbe Protective Tariff league—an or-
ganization which fairly represents the
general attitude of the Republican par-
ty on the tariff question and which
supplies or elrculates the moBt of the
high tariff campaign literature of the
country, including no small Bhare of
editorials for protectionist newspapers
outside of the large cities aud to some
of them in those cities.
The attitude of the league Is shown
by some recent deliverances of Its or-
gan, the American Economist. This
for Instance: "The Cuban reciprocity
bill, stripped of its disguise, was a
measure in direct conflict with the
principle which forms the corner stone
of the Republican party."
The organ further denounces the bill
as "an insidious attack upon protec-
tion." And numerous other utterances
by the organ or by persons authorized
to speak for the league show that the
proteetiunlsts whom that organization
represents are opposed not merely to
The town is on the the proposed reduction of duties on

In short, they are uncompromising
supporters of the Dingley tariff ex-
actly as it stands, and they regard

who proposes to change it to the ex-
tent of a syllable or a letter, by legis
lation, treaty or in any other way. as
a heretic and a deadly enemy of "the
principle which forms the corner stone
of (he Republican party.”
From this we may learn what kind
of a fight President McKinley would
have had on his hands if he had lived
and had the courage to stand up to
it. In his last speech he advocated a
far greater liberalizing of the tariff
than any President Roosevelt has sug-
gested. He could not have made a
