Tho Starch Duty.

The duties on starch are levied for
private revenue only. As we import
very little starch because Of the pro.
hibitory tariff on it, all this tax upon
cleanliness goes to the starch trust and
hardly any to the government. The
tariff Of two cents pound is q tax
which the foreigner does not pay, and
unfortunately it is q tariff which does
not lower the price of starch. This was
confessed by the starchmakers them
selves In q comical way when they com.
planned at the treasury department that
starch was being sold in the American
market for less than the price fixed by
the syndicate, conclusive proof, they
said, that it was being smuggled into
the country.
Treasury detectives went to work, and
they found that cargoes Of starch had
been smuggled in under another name
and had wickedly lowered the price OF
starch. The unlawful importation be-
ing stopped the price Of starch went ny
again, and every housekeeper in the land
was condemned to pay to private citi
zens q fine Of two cents pound on every
pound Of starch she was reckless enough
to buy. The moral of this example will
apply to hundreds of other articles diff
fering from starch only in the size Of the
tax levied upon them and the share oi
its proceeds given to the government

Tie State Rank Tax.

The project of repeating the present
prohibitory tax of 10 per cent. on the IS
sue of state banks is very hopeful
movement in favor of most welcome
change in the financial condition OF the
country. There need be no fear OF any
liberation of deprecated bank note cir
culation should this restriction be re-
moved. There is not state in the
Union which would authorize or allow
it, and if it were attempted anywhere
the facilities for collection are now so
great that 1t would be crushed out ut
once. The best features of the former
statutes would be preserved in new state
legislation, and the natural law OF sup
ply and demand would govern all the
rest of the needed restrictions.
The tax which it is proposed to repeal
is in itself unconstitutional. 1t Is not
levied for revenue, but for prohibition,
and the Fundamental law nowhere gives
to the federal congress the right to sup
press by its action the issue of the state
hanks. There would follow from its re
peal the most perfect currency for busi
ness purposes the world has ever known
Flexible in its character, redeemable al
all central points, and thus always a
par throughout every portion of thu
country, and meeting the needs Of thu
hour in its answer to every Legitimate
demand, it would prevent pressures ant
stringency in the money market. and In
lure no one but the greedy speculato
who makes his cent per cent in a finan
cial crisis. David NJ. Stone, Editor o

In showing up the untrustworthiness
of Commissioner Peck's average an
nual earnings" the New York CONNER
cial Bulletin. nonpartisan trade jour.
nal, says: "As to the value Of such
averages as these Mr.. Peck gave an
opinion in his report in 1888 as follows:
In the preparation of wage tables the
effort has been to get down to'actual
facts. The statement Of averages has
been purposely omitted as tending only
to mislead.' In 1883 Mr.. Peck would
not average separately the wages Of
blacksmiths. carpenters or bricklayers
because such averages would be mis-
leading. and yet in his report for 1901 he
averages the wages Of all the skilled and
unskilled men. women, boys and gir's
employed upon the greatest diversity Of
work, and attempts to use these aver
ages in showing whether the tariff hes
favorably or unfavorably affected wages.
The utter worthlessness Of this report Is
too apparent to need further considera-

Dourks Cochran on the Force Bill.

What is this election bill? Stripped
Of all its verbiage it is this: That the
United States are to appoint in each
state general supervisor Of election;
that the supervisor has complete con-
troll over congressional elections in every
district Of the state. He can employ as
many deputies as he chooses. He can
search the houses before election to see
if there are any fraudulent voters there
concealed. But the real danger in this
measure lies in the clause which pro-
vides that after each election these fed
eral officers would certify the return OF
tho members elected to the house OF rep
resentatives. 1t doesn't matter who gets
the votes. 1t doesn't matter who has five
or six or ten thousand majority. The
federal supervisor fixes the identity OF
the individual who attends before the
speakers desk to be sworn in on the day
when congress organizes.
You may say that perhaps the Repub-
Ecan party will be honest in the exer-
else of this power. Well. gentlemen, !
do not believe that there ever yet has
been given to any man or set OF men a
power to oppress his fellow citizens for
his own benefit that the power has not
been exercised. and if you give the Re
publican party power to perpetuate Its
own control in the house of representa-
tives there is nothing in its history to
show that it would exercise that power
In q spirit CT moderation. Look at the
history of the Fifty-first congress to as
certain just how this power would be
exercised.
am reminded of the experience Of an
English gentleman travelling through
France during the empire. He was in
first class compartment and had with
him q French official who had several
registers and a large urn. The English,
man inquired what they were for. and
he said the registers were a list OF the
voters, the urn was to receive the bal
lots. He also had large bag with him
and on being interrogated as to what Its
use was replied. "Oh. that is the ma
jority." =,
That is the force bill in brief, just as II
would be in brief here. Its result
would be the emasculation Of repre-
sentative government; it would be the
destruction Of representative govern
| ment,

We feel that a comparison Of the
candidates for County School Superin-
tendent would be of interest to our
readers. All matters pertaining to
education should be kept free from
the contaminating influences Of poll
tics, and maintained on higher and
loftier plane, far above the prejudices
of party confines, and no mans politi-
cal qualification should entitle him to
any educational position whatever un-
der our county or state government.
But regardless of the fact that this is
the opinion OF almost the entire people
of the county, r. A. Ford 70 trying to
drag the county School Aperintend-
ency into politics, Mr.. Ford's maneu-
vers and manipulatiOns in the late Re-
publican County Convention proves
him to be a politician of long standing
and of considerable experience, and his
work since that time proves him to be
very energetic though equally as in
etfectual political worker.
Unfortunately for Mr.. F. he is not
known in this part of the country as
an educator, for during a residence of
almost three years in this county, he
has not seen fit 10 cast his lot with
the teachers OF the county, or in any
way identify himself with educational
work, except, when through the infiu.
ence and instrumentality of his big
brother" he was placed on the county
board, for the avowed and expressed
purpose Of gaining recognition among
the teachers OF the county; for he i'm
mediately thereafter informed the
present incumbent of the office that
he was going to aspire to the office
himself.
Seems too, that it would require an
unusual amount of gall for any man
to go into q county and without prov
ing his ability as an educator try te
| jump into the highest educational OF
| flee OF the county, and the fact that
this would-be School Superintendent
totally ignored the County Teachers
Institute, that was held in August, il
proof that his heart is not in schOo
work, for he did not show his head q
single time during the entire institute
session of eight days, Notwithstanding
he promised to attend.
While on the other hand, we have
an entirely different character in L. II
Byrne, the present incumbent of the
office, and a deserving young man
who came from the ranks of the active
teachers Of the county when elected tt
the office two years ago, and should he
perchance, be compelled to relinquisf
the office of Superintendent would en-
ter the school room as an active teach
er again, Mr.. Byrne has given univer
sal satisfaction AS Superintendent fo
the past two years; has worked hare
in the interest OF the schools, and il
highly esteemed by all the teachers o
the county. The following resolution
which was adopted at the late Count,
Teachers Institute, shows that they
recognize fairness and justice in hi
| administration
| Resolred. That in the administration of L.
/ Bryne, ~ Superintendent of the public school
Y OF ThurstOn county, We recognize one OF fair
\ ness. ability and freedom from partisan spirit.

Senator Squire says that Bennett
has been placed outside the pale of the
party by the National Committee.
While in New York." he declares,
the campaign managers talked freely
with me about National Committee
man Bennett and his boiling the ticket,
and Chairman Carter told me he would
have nothing to do with him. Any
business relating TO the campaign III
this State will be conducted with the
State Central Committee. AS for dis
ciplining Bennett, if he won't resign
he will be ignored, and the State will
practically be without representation
on the National Committee, although
believe that if the State Central
Committee were to select another
Committeeman he would be recognized
by the National Committee"

CARL SCHURZ.
SOUND REASONS GIVEN WHY HE
PROPOSES TO
Declares II n Considerations and
Patriotic Man.

Patriotic Man.
Hon. Carl Schurz, in his recent
letter to the Cleveland and Stevenson
club of Kings county, New York, pays
the following tribute to the Democratic
party and its honored leader, Grover
Cleveland, which, owing to the high
source from which it emanates, is
praise indeed: Gall this has convinced
me that for reasons superior to any
economic considerations, the true in
terests of the country demand the
defeat OF the Republican party and its
candidate Mr.. Harrison, unless there
be objections of an overshadowing ma
ture to the candidate opposed to him,
Mr.. Cleveland. As to the Democratic
party, think give myself to no illu-
sions. Its best elements are inspired
with new hope. 1t is drawing to itself
the young intelligence of the country.
Thoughtful men, old and young. in ac-
tive sympathy with the best aspirations
of the American people, are giving it
their support, seeing in it great posi-
bilities for good government. The
more strongly the Republican party
adheres to its leading principles and
policy, the more corrupt it will
become, while the Democratic
party, the more faithfully it clings
to its leading principles, the stronger
will it become morally, and the
healthier its influence upon our
political life. l certainly do not
pretend that Mr.. Cleveland is the ideal
man or the greatest statesman at all
times. He, no doubt, has his limita-
tions, weaknesses and shortcomings.
But he possesses in uncommon measure
those qualities which are especially
desirable in public servant charged
with great responsibilities. He has a
conscience. He has will. He has a
patriotic heart. He has a clear head.
He has strong sense of right. He
has good knowledge of affairs. He
is party man, but not party slave.
He is true to duty regardless of personal
interest. This is not only the judgment
of his friends, but of his opponents
who, in campaign like this, wish they
might not have to admit it. There il
to-day no public man in America sc
widely and we'll known and so generally
and sincerely respected as Mr.. Cleve
land is. Even those politicians of his
own party who opposed his nomination
had to respect him for those very quail
iiications on account of which some o.
them thought him Objectionable as .
President"

Great dissatisfaction is expressed in
Tacoma at the manner of awarding the
Port Orchard dry dock contract. The
Evening News editorially says it shows
plainly to be the spite work of Allen

displeasure for not giving the State
ticket his support.
