In no direction does the ingenuity of
the free-trade attorney become more
evident than when he is juggling with
percentages and ad valorm equivalents
in cur tariff laws. AS so much of his
stock in trade consists of statements
that lead to bewllder and dazzle to
blind" he reveis in the realm of equiv
alent percentages, aiming thereby to
confuse the inconsiderate voter and
leave with him an impression at variance
with his impulse to do that which is for
the best interests OF himself and others.
AS prices 20 down under competition
between home producers. as has always
resulted from adequate protection Of
ary industry, and it seems no longer
possible to frighteh voters with the
threat Of increased expenses of living,
the attorneys for free trade begin to
ring the changes on the resulting en-
hancement of tartf equivalents. Hence
the falsehood that tariffs are now higher
than at the close of the war The free
trade bubble. that is floated before the
eyes of tie voters whenever opportuni-
ty offers. can be readily exploded by
the citation Of few solid facts.
When steel rails were selling at $50
per ton the existing tariff Of Sl7 was
the equivalent of thirfy-four per cent.
which is less than the farmers of the
once famous mills Bill recognized as
fair protection for the average of do
nestle manufactures But when the
competition between producers forced
the prices of rails down to S28 per ton
the same tariff of Sl7 became the equiv
alent Of over sixty per cent, and the
effort was at once made to turn the at
tention Of voters from the low prices At
which rails were selling to the contem-
plation of excessive tariff percentages
And this when foreign rails could not
have been imported. excep. at loss, if
the tariff had been reduced by half
And so on through the entire category
Of manufactures The prices Of every
protected product have been lowered;
and to conceal this fact. which is at var
lance with the theory of free trade and
the predictions of all lis prophets. those
who find il to their interest to insist
that foreigners shall be permitted to
sell in American markets on terms that
are not accorded TO Amer

of figures TO conceal the chief

The sentiment of the State Conven-
ton, on Gov. Hoard and the Bennett
Law was well outlined in an article in
Mondays Sentinel on the situation.
which says: Convention after conven-
ton has enthusiastically endorsed Gov
Hoard and no signs of any opposition
to his denomination have anywhere APP
peared. The tide of popular approval
of the governors course that has come
up from the ranks of the Republican
party Of this state has exceeded the ex-
pectations even of his most ardent adj
mirers ana bodies no good to those
Democrats who had hoped to gain some
political advantage By reason of sup
posed opposition among Republicans to
Gov Hoard on account of his courag-
eous attitude on the Bennett law. It has
been quite noticeable that the most en-
thusiastic support OF the governor comes
from those parts of the state where the
German element is the strongest. In
deed, many prominent Germans
Throughout the state are more pro-
nounced in favor of the essential princi-
Piles of the law than are some native
Americans, and urge the governors re-
nomination much more strongly. A
representative German Re
publican said yesterday; The most
that am anxious about is to see Gov.

tanned tell you the governor IS right
in this matter and has not said word
