Appeal tor Revision Unlikely to Have Much Effect, Tf I eflt of farmers, lmvo been dominated j by a Republican ring, but even tbeso > have lately seen the light. At the last i meeting of the National Grange in November the following resolutions were passed unanimously: "Resolved, By the National Grange in Hartford, Conn., assembled Novom ber 13, 1907, that wo believe that tho general welfare of tho country do* niands an exhaustive and thorough tariff revision, and that the tariff he removed from every article that is being sold in foreign markets cheaper than at home. "Resolved, That we urge upon the members of tho grange throughout the United States to take speedy action and use every influence at their command to secure the carrying out of the sentiments of thcso resolutions." That Is the Democratic position, but there is no probability of the Republican majority in congress paying any heed to the demands of the farmers, for Speaker Cannon, who rules the Republican roost, has packed the committee on ways and means on purpose to prevent tariff consideration. There is a vague protnlse in the air to revise the tariff "after election," but. us Speaker Cannon has declared to the Manufacturing Potters' association that their Industry needs that tin; tar Iff be revised higher, what hope is there that any general reduction ?>f the tariff will be made "after election" If the Republicans elect the president and a majority of congress? How can the National Grange expect the Republican party to remove the tariff "from every article that is being sold in foreign markets cheaper than at home?" Such a reform would compel the trusts to reduce the price of their products at least 30 per cent. Where would the Republican party raise its campaign fund, if not from the trusts? The money power would bo the only source left, and the trusts and the money power are so closely united that if you hit a trust a Wall street bank squeals. Inve-*' i; Roosevelt. Tlv iler lias been raist torts of federal appc an purposes. Prei .s inspired a statt i! that ho is mlsu.s. ouJ.m patronage in Mr. Taft'g behalf "is an unquali(led lie," | and the additional information is furnished from the White Ilouso that this statement is contained in a letter written t9 P close friend of Mr. Roosevelt's in Indiana. It is supposed that this close friend is William Dudley Foulke of Richmond, former chairman of the civil service commission. Sena tors and representatives who contend that they havo ground for (he belief that the allegations are justified, are answering this inspired announcement with the challenge: "if it is an unqualified lie, we should like to havo certain things explained." In order to get tho desired explanation a resolution for an investigation will probably bo offered in tho senate unless the Republican leaders determine that it Is bad politics, if Republicans are afraid to investigate, they will havo to accept tho imputation of being prevaricators, which President Roosevelt declares they are, but it would seem that an investigation should bo mado.

Republicans Oppose Reform, Civil service reform Is a Democratic policy which the Republicans were compelled to ad<>i>t when Mr. Tlldou was tho leader of the Democratic ! party. For all thoso years the ltopublicans have protended to favor civil service reform, but have evaded the law whenover possible. It is, therefore, nothing to bo surprised at *jien the lenders of thought In tho Republican party resolve against reform.
