The new tarifi‘ bill as passed by the House of Representatives has now been before the Senate committee for more than a month. During that period the fiepublican members of the finance “committee have‘had it wholly in charge, and their deliberations and changes are entirely unknown to‘ the Democratic members of the committee except so far as they are known to the public. This has been the rule of all parties in power in framing a tariff law. Whether wise or'otherwise, neither can complain of it, but the Republicans of the Senate should not attempt to make the‘ Demo- crats responsible 'for the delay in re- porting the tarifl‘ bill after the Republi- can members of the committee have had it. in their exclusive charge for more than a month says the Philadel- phia Times. It is entirely fair, not only to the minority members of the com- mittee, but to the Senate and to the country, that the Democratic Senators in; the finance committee should have the opportunity to go over the revised bill in full committee, have it there con- sidered and either corrected or such corrections suggested as may be desired . by any member. There should be no needless delay; no obstruction what- ever; no dawdling to consume time; but there should be a fair consideration oitthe revised bill by the full committee, and a report should come from both the majority and the minority as texts for the study of the whole question, alike hylSenate and by the people. We know that there are many and very serious complications in the Sen- ate animating tarifi‘ legislation. We do not doubt that the Republican Sen- ators have labored diligently to hasten the consideration of the bill, and we have like confidence that the Demo- cratic members of the committee will not seek in any way to obstruct the re- port of the bill beyond a moderately . fair consideration of it in full committee. The Republicans of the Senate commit- tee have not only to meet the aroused public sentiment against the monOpoly features of the new tarifl‘, but they aI-l ”must meet the conflicting opinions of the Senate and adjust the bill in some important particulars, solely for the purpose of commanding the majority _ neccessary to pass it. There is not a clear Republican major- ity in the Senate, and that party can- not thereforebe held responsible for tarifi‘ legislation as it could and would if the party power dominated the body. These difliculties are serious, but they must be overcome, as tarifl’ legislation :It the present conditions is a necessity. The business the country is awaiting it ;it has been universally expected since the election of November last, and the iailure to pass a new tarifi‘ would be a confessed failure of Republican power at the threshold of the new administra- tion, . Let all parties unite to hasten the con- . sideration of the bill before the Senate alter it shall have been fairly and fully considered in committee. There would not be a full and fair consideration if the minority members were not ;. t-rmit- ted to consider the revised bill in full committee to enable them to present their objections in form to the Senate. Since tariff legislation is inevitable, all should unite to speed its consummation. There is no visible enlargement of in- dustrial activity chiefly because of the uncertainty of tarifl’ legislation, and the longer this condition continues the greater will be the stringency felt in all channels of industry and trade. Let all parties deal justly with each other in considering the tariff, and unite in has- tening final legislation. 9 no} Another .Railroad.
