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.

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 Chung ti| caucus disposed in short order of Lie silk, pulp and pap i aud sundry tchedules, voting down all propose d amendments. The free list was under consideration when the Democrats adjourned. Certain Mills Doomed. Representative Underwood address ed t’u members on the scope of th 1 bill and its effect. He declared that reductions in wool rates undoubtedly would injure some factories, but that it would benefit the industry as a whole. Certain factories of old equip ment and less advanced busines? methods. Mr. Underwood said, prob ably wolvJ be forced out of business Much concerns, he argued, were not economically entitled *to live and with them uu: of the way the industry as a whole would benefit.
