It is always easier FAIR FARQUHAR. to hit at a public official than at a public policy , especially when suffering from his acts , and the temptation is generally irresistible to put the blame upon the man rather than upon the law which he carries out. But it is one of the striking , yet characteristic , qualities of Mr. A. B. Farquhar's letter which THE CONSERVATIVE prints in this issue , that , instead of making a target of Secretary Gage because of the ruling which led to prompt tariff retaliation by Russia , Mr. Farquhar goes farther back and aims at the policy itself which dictated the Dingley tariff. No one is more entitled to a hearing upon ques tions relating to American industries than Mr. Farquhar. He is not only a great manufacturer , but a great export er ; not only a successful and far-seeing business man , but a truly patriotic and public-spirited American , who scorns to ask for favors at the expense of his fellow-citizens. The time seems at last to have come when our business and in dustrial community must begin to feel , by experience , the force of what such men as Mr. Farquhar have lorig pointed out. They cannot study the situation fairly without coming to his conclusion , that the evils which they are now dis cerning , the trusts , the defeat of reci procity treaties , the hostile tariff acts of foreign countries , are the logical and in evitable outcome of protection. A PEERLESS IMITATOR. Bryan's Commoner continues to slosh around in an aimless and harmless fash ion. The peerless one has lately been detected in imitation of the style and diction of Editor Morton , of THE. CON SERVATIVE , which is encouraging. To be sure , Mr. Morton cannot supply the fellow with brains , but if by study of THE CONSERVATIVE'S charming style , Bryan shall be able to infuse a little of the breath of life into the corpse-like Commoner , he certainly ought to be allowed , unrebuked , to do so.
