PROTECTION SHOULD BE EX
TRAHTED

PROTECTION SHOULD BE Ex-
TRACTED.
"There is no reason why the business
men should be in doubt about the
action Of Congress- The fraud of Repub-
lican protection is to be extracted from
the tariff We shall have a tariff for
revenue. Evening JOURNAL.
Admitting that protection is an evil
and that the revenue now received under
the present law is barely sufficient for
the needs of the government, will the
JOURNRL be good enough to explain how
tariff can be laid that will still prove
sufficient for the needs Of the govern
ment and not at the same afford protec
tiony--Milford News.
BY the simplest and juste-t rules of
taxation known to enlightened statesman
ship. BY taxing for revenue and not
for robbery.
While it is not possible to lay any I'm.
port duty without. in some measure,
protecting some industry, it is possible
to lay the duties so that they will pro
duoe the greatest amount Of revenue
with the least amount of protection.
The fraud ia the Republican tariff is
that It produces the least amount Of
revenue with the greatest amount Of
protection.
Now, more than $4,000. 900 per year
can be raised on the three articles,
sugar, coffee and tea. without giving
an appreciable amount of protection
I'VE grow about one eighth of the
sugar we consume) to more than one
article. Take the bounty off sugar and
that will save $l000O.00O So that
from these three articles we shall have
about one fourth the revenue needed on
the articles which are universally rec.
ognized as furnishing the greatest
revenue with the ligbtest and most
equally distributed burden upon the
people.
Thus, instead of laying taxes on 1000
articles, some of which produce no
revenue but all of which put burdens on
the people, we should lay taxes on about
thirty articles almost all Of the revenue
from which, would go into the Treasury.
That is the ideal perfection of taxation
Our idea is to support the govern
ment, not employ Congress, TO regulate
the commerce and industry Of the
country. The merchants and manufact-
urers can do both, and do them better

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Joe wanted the Law


"Old Man Joe Brown" of Greenbank.
a negro Of the old school, came to Will
mington on Saturday and got gloriously
full When the 90 train pulled out Of
the B. Il o. station at Market street, the
old man was aboard. He was accom-
panied by young negro who carried a
quart bottle Of whiskey. Joe took a
pull or two and became so talkative that
there was not passenger in the smoker
who was not either annoyed or amused.
When the conductor passed through for
tickets the train was well on its way to
West Yard station Old Joe was found
TO be without ticket or money. The
conductor told him he could ride to West
Yard but no further.
God bless you, boss, said Joe.
''May de light OBJ Hebben shine upon
your
As soon as the conductor was beyond
ear-shot Joe slapped his companion on
the shoulder and said Worked him

de light ob Hebben shine upon you.
OATS what ! did"
West Yard was reached and Joe was
engaged in taking long pull and a
strong pull at the bottle. The conductor
was engaged in another part of the
train and did not notice that Joe did not
get of When the train had speoded no
to twenty miles an hour Joe saw the
conductor coming aud suddenly remem.
bered that he had been told to get of at
West Yard. He made for the platform,
and uneasy passengers put their hee Is
out of the windows to see his fatal Jump.
At the critical time the brakeman
noticed his actions and induced the old
man TO return to the smoker. He took
another pull and chuckled over the game
he was playing.
When w. N. Junction was reached
the conductor told him he had ridden
far enough and put him of the train.
This made Joe red hot. He crossed
over the tracks to the southbound
platform and addressing an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter asid
"Dat oondustah he put me of. I hab
dun gone an got ticket. doan' wan
no ride now nohow. What / vans is
law an dats wot Use gwine TO git. ."
Lets see your ticket
Joe fumbled through his pockets,
scratched his head and cast a mali ignant
glance at the conductor.
81 don't see why you shonld kick,
suggested the reporter "You got a free
ride to the junction and drinks thrown
| in.
Il guess you'se right on dat point
boss. Delaw doan glib man any show
nohow."
He staggered of to the Landenburg
train again. The conductor warned him
not TO get ON. Joe thought it yer,
strange that he could not 60 into tn,

friends. At last the negroes paid hii
fare and Joe entered the car like con

GOVERNOR ALTeELD's foreign tanned

The universal condemnation Of the
newspapers has been sharper or more
penetrating than he expected. Hence he
is preparing either another explanation
or a defense Of his previous explanation.
He might explain till doomsday and still
not satisfy a calm people that a lot of men
may go about making bombs, writing and
speaking blood.thirsty threats for years,
and then, when those threats are put
into sudden, dreadful and fatal execu-
tion declare that there is no proof of guilt
against them because the particular man
who threw the bomb is not identified.
That explanation did not satisfy the
jury, It did not satisfy all the courts Of
Illinois, it did not satisfy the people of
Chicago. The hanging of those men did
put an end to the awful industry of
anarchy. II the trial and execution had
no other justification it is splendidly
justified in that.

THR philosophic error the Republicans
have made in taxation is that they have
perverted the tax laws on the plea Of
stimulating and developing trade. From
taxation for revenue they have taxed us
to establish and support private indus
tries on the fallscious, specious and un.
just plea that the good Of the many
depended on the prosperity Of the few.
The most superficial examination proves
that theory is as wrong in conception
and as hurtful in practice as it was in
1901. AT that time Elizabeth was com
pelled to abandon the practice Of
granting privileges and monopo.
lies TO favorites and spectators
because the industries and imposts which
those men controlled enabled them to
rob the people. They produced a great
revenue TO the Crown it is true. The
Queen could get any amount Of money
she wished without asking Parliament
for pound. But the people felt the
pinch although they did not pay q tax
10 the collector on soap, leather, glass
and wines. The protection fallscy is not
new theory OF an American theory, 1t Is
as old as sin, as private greed, as selfish
ness. as sophistry. It as weak as the
plea OF the landlord that he must raise
the rental 100 per cent. whenever there
is an intimation that the tax on hi,
property may be increased per cent.

The measles is like love, too, in being
a noun, singular; and not like the
editor in that he is a plural 1--WE" These
are little things, of course, but man
must rise from little things to great
things. II he pays no attention to the
little things of life-and grammar-then
we are apt to think he may be careless,
also, with the great things Of life.
The association Of singular verbs aud
pronouns with measles may seem wrong
in sound but tits correct in sense. We
do not wish to appear hypercritical,
but we do wish TO show
that paper which pretends
to controvert the science Of political
economy and teach that waste makes
wealth; that the greater the burden Of
taxation upon the whole people. the
greater the profits Of the few, and the
profits Of the few secures the prosperity
of the whole, ought to be learned
enough to know that measles is not re-.
ferred to as "them."
