PHILADELPHIA. April 18.—"The
Republican Party, cleansed, strength
ened and made more responsive to
the people, will return to national
power. The* Democratic Party, I be
lieve can not meet the expectations of
even the minority that voted It into
coiftrol of the National Government.”
These are the predictions of I>r. Si
mon Nelion Patten, professor of po
litical economy in the University of
Pennsylvania.
“Tariff will prove the undoing of
Democracy,” Dr. Patten writes. “It
hus before It two alternatives: One
is a small reduction of tariff and
virtually no change in the costs of
articles that are deemed necessaries
in the American standard of living.
The other alternative is a radical re
duction in tariffs and the consequent
stoppage of many important Ameri
can Industries
“Viewing the situation wholly as
an economist, it seems to me that,
whichever horn of the dilemma Is se
lected. President Wilson and his col
leagues ar»* certain to disappoint a
large body of the people who have
entrusted thorn with power. Hun
dreds of thousand* expect to sec cost
of living measurably and speedily re
duced.”
Plea for Living Wage.
Dr. Patten sees the restoration of
Republicans on a platform of living
wages, equitably distributed as part
of their protective party.
“Thousands of girls are now pressed
to the edge of moral endurance. The
least pilch will put them into the
street. Who \\il ! take the responsi
bility for this?” Professor Patten
asks.
“There is one matter upon which I
nia\ speak with some degree of em
phasis. That is the inevitable read
justment of wage conditions by cer
tain protected manufacturer '. The j
day has gone by when ST* a week is
the basis for a working woman’s
wage. When the Republicans return
to power- as I believe they will ini
the next national election—thev must 1
«ome as a party pledged to Uc-fimt |
reforms, and as a par.y whose etuv- l
gies will be devoted to keeping there!
pledges.
“Of the.se promise^, th * most im
portant will be a readjustment of
tariff benefit?, so that the worker
shall receive ids fair share of the re
newed proapt rity.
"The manufacturer who stuffs into
hi* pocket the largest share of pro
tection benefit? is the one who can
best afford to meet the changes pro
posed in the tariff laws.
“Then is one fundamental law
true, both in biology and economics.
Struggle lu’lns the strong and crushe-
tile weak. With cut throat competi
tion the rich grow richer and the poor
become poorer. When f lu* tariff is re
duced, the lov.- waged workmau lose,
not th ir employt r. And of thes • low
wage.1 ones the working girl will be
the worst sufferer.
Dollars and Virtu*.
“in ::dditi<m to predicting what the
effect of free sugar will be, the Pres
ident should state his doctrine of the
r lation of dollars to virtue.
“The Government by granting pro
motion to certain industries acquiree
a right to supervise the operation of

WASHINGTON. April 18.—A bitter,
fight will be made on the Democratic
tariff revision bill. The forces op
posed to the so-called Underwood
measure are now ready for the battle.
Hacked by requests from many in
terests for hearings on. certain sec
tions of the Underwood bill, Republi
can Senatorr have muue a demand
upon members of the finance commit
tee for hearings, and attack the "se
cret legislation” now going on in the
Democratic caucus of House mem
bers.
Democratic Senators, replying to
the attack, have made it clear that
the finance committee does not plan
to grant any public hearings. Sena
tors Williams and Stone insisted full
hearings had been given by the House
committee before the bill was pre
pared, while Republican Senator# de
clared that these hearings had bee*i pf
little value because the rates of the
Underwood bill were not then known.
Will Oppose Entire Bili.
With many complaints and objec
tions before them. Republican mem
bers of the Senate are preparing for
a general attack on all schedules of
the bill. Senator Smoot has put two
experts at work to analyze the Un
derwood bill and previous measures to
give the protectionist forces a basis
for their fight. Other Republicans,
who claim that important industries
would be wiped out by the Underwood
bill, will again insist that business
men and laboring men should have an
opportunity 4o be heard before the
new bill is passed.
Tin Democratic House caucus
worked over the Underwood bill
through.out yesterday, upholding the
Democratic House leaders and Presi
dent Wilson upon all contested points.
The woolen schedule was under lire
al day. Attempts to put ready-made
clothing on the free list and to alter
other rates in the bill were defeated.
Late in the day. alter the woo;
schedule had been approved without

bill and its effect. He declared that

would injure some factories, but that
it would benefit the industry as a
