ENEMY OF TAEIFP.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan at Tariff for Revenue Only.
. ( From tin Labor World. )
Worklnpmpn and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that , If .Mr. Hrynn shall be elect
ed President , his plans for revision of
tin * tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. I'.ryan Is the professed
enemy of the tariff system , lie would
impose duties. If at all. for revenue
purposes only. Ou articles competing
with what lie chooses to call trust-made
goods he would lime no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit In Import duties
arising from revised schedules he ustl *
iu.ites would be more than made up by
increased imports. Of eourt > < ' , his hnpp
Is to strike .it the great protection
States , \\hiih happen to lie Republican
In politics , like I'cnuvilvanla. New
Vork , Ohio , Illinois. Indiana , West Vir
ginia , etc. It does not seem to matter
to him that every dollar's worth of for
eign goods In the competitive class com
ing Into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods , thus displacing Just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
Is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree \voth him In politics and who will
have none of him at the polls , says an
exchange.
P.tit while Mr. Itryan Is gunning for
protected Industries and Kepublleaii
Statis , once his proposed tariff law
should he In force It would fall alike
upon all sections of the country , thu
only dinVrenccs between one State and
another being In the degree of hardship
Imposed.
We bear of worklngmen saying , that
tills time they Intend to vote for Mr.
Hryan , because for the past ten months
we lm\c had hard times. Hut what
good will that do ? How Is a tarllT for
rovi line , tailoring the protection Idea
altogether , going to open the shops am )
niills ? How will the election of Sena-
tois by direct \ote start tbe wheels of
| ndii.strj' ! Or the publication of cam
paign contributions ? Or the further
harassment of the railroads ? Or tbe
reorganization of the House , so that
Hie Speaker may be powerless ? Why
