contidued to strike for the body. His
blows fell short and he was terribly pun
ished. Smith came up groggy in the fourth

Two Effects of the Mckinley Law.

Another triumph for the Mckinley bill is recorded In tho price of linseed oil A merchant in this city bought in Chicago last week at 4s cents per gallon. The quotation of the city oil here has not declined so far as yet though the market is demoralized by largely in- creased Western production and Western sales. But at the current quotation, IT cents per gallon, tho fall since October has been l5 cents, for the quotation was then and for months had been @ cents for city oil in this market New York Tribune, in July

 The "American System.

When Henry Clay, in 1928, wanted 10 make his high tariff policy popular he cast about for name that would appeal to the people: he, therefore, called his high tariff bill the "American system, " saying that it was "to lay the founda- tion of u genuine American policy"
 The cheap folly of th's clap-trap was at once pointed out by Daniel Webster "Since the speaker denominated the pol Icy he recommends" said Webster, "a new policy in the country, one is q little curious to know why this imitation Of other nations is denominated an 'Ameri- can policy, while, on the contrary, a preference for our own established sys- tenn is called foreign policy Sir, that is the truest American policy which shall most usefully empoy American capital and American labor, and best sustain the whole population. He seems to me to argue the question as if all do. nestle industry were confined to the production of manufactured articles, as If the employment of our own capital and our own labor in the occupation of commerce and navigation were not as emphatically domestic industry as any other occupation.
 "Une man makes a yard of cloth at home; another man raises agricultural products and buys yard of imported cloth. Both these are equally Ahe earn ings of American industry. There is no foundation for the distinction which at tributes to certain emp.oyments the ap- pellation of American industry"

Better Horn Lucky Than Rich,

Three old college chums met, began relating their experiences. and this was the story of one who had reached a college professorship: When came back from studying abroad l loafed around New Haven, hoping that . tutorship would turn up. But 1t did not turn. One day took long walk with Prof. N. You remember M He spent three years in talk ing any chance equation which came into his head. and seeing if he could draw its curve at sight and declared those three years to be the happiest of his life. That measures his idea of happiness and his love of mathematics. We'll, as l said. I took walk with him, and. as was his way, he immedi- ately started to discuss long mathe- nautical problem.

THE necessity of always doing one's best is, of course, as imperative in journalism as it is in literature, in business or in the professions. In this respect at least, the successful journalist does not differ from the suc- cessful man in any other pursuit. In no field of intellectual effort has there been a greater advance within the last half 6 century than in journalism. The assumption that nasty, ill-considered work Is more acceptable in journalism than in literature is an egregious mis- take of which any writer can be promptly convinced by brief experi- ment on any great city paper. The journalist does his work under pres sure, it is true, and his methods have but little in common with the leisurely methods of writers who turn out par haps half column 8 day. if they are in a mood to work at all.

HIoH-rARIFF ABsURDITIEs.
Mud1ie-Headed Protection Editor Whom a Low Tariff win Hurt.

It is impossible for the high-tarilites to escape the absurdities of their posi- tion. How often, for example have they assured us that protection cheapens commodities? Only put on . high pro tective tariff, they say, and we shall very soon be buying the very same arti- cle Of better qua ity and at C lower price; and the higher the tariff, some even claim, the lower you will make prices
 A very pretty fable, only the high tarilfites are not abe to believe it them selves. If they do, why these pictures of the ruin and desolation that will fol- low if the tariff is removed or even re- dueed to 40 per cent?
 Here. for example, is the Boston Com mercal Bulletin, which is reputed to be one Of the abest of high tariff organs. This sourna', in trying to break the force of the argument that since sugar has been so greatly cheapcned by the removal of the duty similar result would follow in the case of goods im- ported from Great Britain, Germany y and other European countries, says: "Their manufacturers have the advan- tage of cheaper labor, and can under sell us on that account To throw down the protective barriers, which alono keep out these comI Ietitiye goods would simply result in depriving our people of occupation or compel them to labor for reduced compensation
 Yet the blessed tariff, as all orthodox protection organs assure us, cheapens the things made by our manufacturers and does not guarantee them artificial profits.
 But this specimen protection organ commits auosher specimen absurdity. After painting the universal misery which would follow reduction or abolition of the tariff, it assures tho consumer that he would get little or no advantage. "A small reduction at first hands would in many cases mean noth- ing but additional profit fer the reta Ter, and where concession was vouchsafed the consumer 1t would be too insignifi- cant to figure in the total expense of Q family's support"
 Confusion worse confounded, The consumer will not get lower prices, and yet he will go of and buy for, ign goods and ruin the domestic manufa ,turers,
 How could the home market for home goods be ruined unle the consumer himself could buy foreign goods cheap VT "A Wafhct ioT Roous lS HVt Wasc oy accident or caprice; it depends upon the intelligent choice of the consumer in seeking for the best goods at the lowest price Unless he can get this in Flu rope onr American manufacturers have nothing to fear from the freest competi- tion; and if he can get 1t, then onr man ufacturers are now enjoying the benefit of an artificial price made possible by the restrictive taritr
 But our manufacturers are afraid, very much afraid, of such competition; and this fact is conclusive proof that they are squeezing tariff prices out of the domestic consumer,

Made England Great.

We are told that a removal of the duty on wool would result in destroying our sheep-Erowing industry, but the expcri- ence of Eng and with the wool tax does not bear out this claim. In 1900 England had wool duty of l2 cents a pound, and in that year produced 92, ,544, ,O00 pounds of wool This tariff was continued till 1928, when the product amounted to III, l,623, 729 pounds, 2 gain or only 19,- 079, 727 pounds in twenty-eight years.
 Then came free wool, and already in 1850 the production of wool in England had risen to 275, GOO, 900 pounds, or gain of 163, 376, 271 pounds in only twen- ty two years Since that year this pro- duction of wool has declined, but it is still greater by 26, 00O, 900 pounds than in 1928.
 But the rapid increase did not cause decline in prices. In 1928, under protec tion, the price of one of the standard grades of domestic wool, that known to the English trade as "Lincoln half hog, was 22 cents pound, and the average price from that year to 1850 was "A cents During the twenty years, 1857 to 1876, the same wool brought the English farmer an average of 40 cents. The price last year re- turned once more to 22 cents So the British farmers are 20 worse off, in the matter of price, for free wool; and they had more to sell, too; but they had an enormous gain in the cheapening of wooden clothing
 But England raises sheep fer mutton rather than for wool Four-fifths of all lambs are slaughtered for market; and for twenty years the number of sheep has kept pretty closely to 30,0c0 GOO, sometimes few millions above or below. Wool is little more there than an incl dental product of the muttongrower.
 Free woo has made England the great wool market of the world. In 1850 that country imported on y 77,0o0, ,ooo pounds of wool, but importations had risen in 1889 to T2l 1000, 900 pounds, of which about half was exported and resold in other countries thus making an enor- nous trade for English ships and English merchants. In the meantime England S consumption of foreign wool has in- creased enormously. In 1874 it was 1922, GOO pounds; in 1889 it was $685. 435, GOO
 It is our tariff. and it alone, that keeps us from rivaling England as Il great woo trading and woo -manufac- turing nation. England could neve. have reached her present position in the contro of the worlds wool supply if she had adhered to the policy of pre- tecting few country squireS wh ) wanted to breed sheep at public ex- pense; and if she had persisted in her attempt to shut out foreign wool our own manufacturers would never have needed to besiege Congress so ong and so invariably with their ta of rninous competition from English competition As it is, the bulk of the worlds supply of wool goes to London, and English manufacturers, as general thing, got tho lick of the clip from all lands Free wool would give the American manufac- turer an equal chance; it would not nee. essarily hurt the American wool-grower
