A FREE TRADE VIEW OF THE RE.
YISED TARIFF BILL.

FREE traders the world over
know of ex-C Congressman Frank H.
Hurd, of Toledo, Ohio, who has
for many years been an eloquent
champion of the rights of man.
Congressman Brookshire recently
received the following letter from
Mr.. Hurd. What he says is of such
general interest and he is so great
an authority on the subject of tar
if reform that in this place we
print his letter, which was sent to
the Gazette 10y Mr.. Brookshire. 1t
is in part as follows;
"Some of the important features
OF the Senate amendments are
already SO well known, that 1 may
consider them as certain to be in
corporated into the bill ms it will
be returned to the House. These
are ~ the placing of a duty on
coal, iron and lead ores, and(2) on
sugar. There ought to be no duty
on either coal or iron ores, because
they are essentially raw materials
needed in manufacturing. But the
amount of increase which the tariff
makes in the price is so small that
il is not worth the while to defeat
a general measure of reform by
refusing to concur in the amend
ments which impose a duty on these
articles,
AS TO sugar l would say II is
essentially a revenue article. In
levying a revenue tariff, the duties
should first DO placed on articles
like tea and coffee, which are not
raised in this country. This should
be done for two reasons: ID the
money paid by the consumers goes
to the treasury of the United
States as revenue, and (2) there ia
no element of protection in the du-
ty, because no one is producing
such articles at home. After tea
and coffee and like commodities,
sugsr is the most prominent reve.
nue. article. The rule is that when
you put a duty on foreign articles
for purpose Of revenue, where sim.
liar articles are produced here, the
extent Of the duty should depend
upon the extent of the home pro-
duction; that is to say, that the less
the production of articles ut home
the higher should be the duty on
the foreign article. This is upon
the principle that the less the pro-
duct here, the less will the consu,
mer pay to the manufacturer for
such product in the way Of protec-
tion.
1T is we'll understood that the
operation of the tariff is to increase
the prices Of the article upon which
the tariff is imposed. This increase
goes TO two recipients: Cd the man.
ufacturer Of domestic articles, and
~ the treasury of the United
States. Suppose that this increase
of price is 100000 900 a year re-
resulting from duties on wool and

about S10,OO0,0O0 would 90 to the
treasury of the United States, aud
$780, 900 would go to the favored
manufacturers. But if this in
crease Of price came from duties on
sugar, 500, 900 would 20 into
the treasury Of the United States,
and only sl0,OO0,OO0 to the sugar
producers. 1t is apparent from
this that il the object of a tariff is
to raise revenue, the first duty
should be placed on sugar. The
argument that sugar is a necessity
and should therefore be free, APP
plies to all articles from which it is
attempted to raise large revenues
by tariff Except tea and coffee.)
IF it is conceded that a duty
should be imposed upon sugar,
then the question arises, on what
principle should the duty be lev
led? 1t is a fixed rule in the law
governing the imposition of duties
to raise reveue, that the duties
should be levied according to the
value of the article imported; in
other words, hat the duty should
be adj valorem. A study of the tar
if IN England, as that country has
progressed in its road toward free
trade, and Of the tariff in 1910, and
the reasons for it as given in the
report of Robert j. Walker, will
show that nd valorem duties have
always been favored by tariff re-
formers. 1t has been objected
that the duties as levied will inure
to the sugar trust. The object Of
imposing duties on sugar is the
raising of revenue. With the ac-
complishment of that, it is we'll un-
derstood that there is Incidental
protection which will go to some.
body. Neither the sugar trust nor
any producer can get any part of
the revenue which the Government
receives. Altthat they can receive
is the incidental protection, unless
there be an increase of price Of the
commodity by combination.
"The Government cannot inter-
pose to distribute the Incidental
protection, nor should it decline to
collect its revenue from duties on
revenue articles, because of the
possibilities Of combinations by
which prices Of such articles may
he raised in the domestic market.
If such combinations work injus-
tice, it might be a good reason why
they should be restrained or extir-
pated; but it is no reason why the
government should not raise its
revenue from revenue articles, pro-
viding the duties are levied, as
they are by the proposed senate
amendments, in accordance with
the principle and philosophy
which should govern in forming a
revenue tariff. The same object
ion applies to all duties. So far
as they restrict foreign importa-
ton, they give opportunity for do
nestle combinations. In other
words, the possibilities of corlbi-
nations which result from tariffs,
furnish good reasons for absolute
free trade, but furnish less objec-
ton to the duties imposed on arti-
Giles which bring revenue, than to
those levied on articles which bring
little or none."-Terre Haute Ga
zette.

SIGNIFICANCE OF TRIPLES.
The Discovery of America Hinged Upon
the Winning of Game of Chess.

The Discovery of America Hinged Upon
the Winning of IA Game of Chess.
Everybody has heard of the chance
which led Columbus to change his
course in midocean, and thus leave
North America for the English to set
tie, but every body has not heard of the
game of chess which led the Spanish
monarch to take an interest in the ex-
plorer and espouse his cause. 1t is a
Spanish tradition that the fate of CO.
lumbus once hung on game OF chess.
For years the schemer had haunted
the Spanish court, trying to interest
some one in his cause, but at last,
despairing, he determined to leave
and go to France. The night
before his intended departure he
sought an audience of the queen to
communicate his intentian and to take
his leave. The queen asked him to wait
while she made one more effort to in
terest the king, and left the room for
that purpose. She found Ferdinand
engaged in a game of chess, and dis
turbing him by her entrance and thus
causing him to lose a piece, he let fly a
volly of oatbs at seamen generally and
at Columbus in particular, and then in
formed Isabella that the result of her
petition would depend on the result of
the game. 1t grew worse, and things
looked blue for the discoverer of Amer
lea, but Isabella, overlooking the
board, whispered to his majesty sug-
gestion as to move that could be
made; the king adopted the sugges-
tion, and America was saved.
1t is queer story, but no stranger
than the one told in Rome at the time
the divorce of Henry VIII. was under
discussion that the negotiations were
broken off by the earl of Wiltshire's
dog. This un-mannerly cur had fol-
lowed his master into the court and
when the pontiff, at the close of the
audience put out his foot to be kissed
by the earl, the dog bit it, and so an
gered the pope and Mortified the court
that the negotiations were suspended.
The story may be true or false, but
in either case is a excellent demonstra-
ton of the value of the trihe, when the
trihe occurs in the life of an exalted
parsonage, and gives point to the re-
mark made by Paschal along the same
line, that il the nose of Cleopatra had
been an inch longer or shorter the
course of the worlds history might
have been materially changed. N. Y.

Cottonseed Hulis for Stock.

Cottonseed hulls promise to become
a leading competitor of wheat as II
food for stock. If the price of corn
advances much more. as it probab bly,
will in consequence of the shortage of
this years crop, farmers that have corn
will probably sell it and feed their
stock on cheaper food.
The government bureau of animal
industry has recently shown the value
of wheat for fattening stock, and has
recommended its use where corn sells
anywhere near the price of wheat.
Another new food for stock, and one
which is said to be cheaper than corn
at present prices, is cottonseed meal.
This mixture is being fed with good
results to cattle in the south, and it has
lately been introduced into the stock
