THE TARIFF AND TOBACCO.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please
give through your columns the effect the
Wilson bill has on the tobacco raisers.
Also, how many Republicans voted for
the bill in the Senate and House. No
one in this locality seems to know much
about the bill, nor the exact vote. Our
papers do not give us the facts.-G. w.
WILLIAMS, 18th Ohio and 195th Ohio,
Ell Dorado, Mo.
The Mckinley Bill imposed a duty
of 81 pound on unstemmed wrapper
tobacco, and 1915 on stemmed. As
originally reported, the Wilson Bill re-
duced this to 81 on unstemmed and
S1.25 Oh stemmed.
Mr.. Payne On. Y, r. moved to
amend by making the rates S1.25 and
S2.75 respectively, with the proviso that
if any bale or package should contain
tobacco suitable for wrappers the whole
should be assessed at the rates provided
in the Mckinley Bill. This was de-
feated-ayes rs, noes 115. The Re-
publicans voted in the affirmative, and
the Democrats in the negative. Mr..
Paynter Ky, d. moved to amend by
making the rate 80 cents for unstemmed
and 80 cents for stemmed. This was
rejected without division.
The Senate Committee changed this
to S1.50 on unstemmed and 1926 on
stemmed, and in this shape it passed
without amendment or division.
While this reduction is perhaps less
prejudicial to the farmers than many
other changes in the Agricultural Sche-
dule, which seemed leveled directly at
the farmers interests, yet it was entirely
unnecessary and very harmful. Under
the stimulus of the Mckinley duties,
which were specially directed against
Sumatra wrappers, there was a large
development of the production of the
finer and high-prieed tobaccos, and the
farmers made niue b money out of them.
1t was found that many parts of our
country, such as South Carolina, south
ern Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and
Texas, were finely adapted for raising
the varieties that we have been buying
of Cuba and Sumatra, and men went
extensively into the business. As most
of these were in the South, the reduc-
ton was not made so great as on the
wool, hay, ETC., of the rest of the coun-
try. Whether they will feel like con-
tinuing in the business remains to be
seen. We buy about $18,000,000 worth
of tobacco abroad every year, and pay
out that much money which should go
into the pockets of our own farmers.
And what is worse, this goes to people
who buy nothing of us, so that it has to
be paid for in gold. That s18,O00,000
year would fit very comfortably into
the pockets of our own people.

NEXT to the Solid South, Tammany

Robber Tariff" and "the tax burdens

throughout the land. Now we are get

deals with that particular portion of
the people unfortunate enough to be
under its misgovernment. Not only do
the people of New York have to pay
taxes immensely out Of proportion to
those of any other great city in the
civilized world, but Tammany squeezes
everything in sight most remorselessly.

COMMUNICATIONS.

An open Letter to the New Haven
 Register.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In the Register of January IS Its editor kindly inquired for the undersigned and ssked why the International League has abandoned Governor Mitchell. was In Boston when the article on the Interns- tional League was written, and 1t first came to my notice on my way to New York.
 The Register asks why I have forsaksn Governor Mitchell. The answer is that have not. The International League has never promised to. publish its plans and has informed the publis of very little of Its work. Hardly day has passed, how ever, without It's active corporation with authorities In Florida. The Register was simply Ignorant of these facts and cannot be blamed, because we did not keep It fn- formed.
 The Register Is wrong when 1t ssys that I announced that would stop the fight. whatever the papers may have said. did announce that the International would not stop the Consy Island fight. But the International claims some credit for ss- sisting In driving the fight from Coney leland and from New Orleans, though much more credit is due to the New York Times and the Outlook. What I did in that matter was invited by the editor-in. chief of leading New York journal. As agent of the International League, after correspondence with the proper au, thorities in Florida, I appointed Attorney W. H. Cowles, not to take the business oi | law enforcement into his own hands, bu, | to aid the officers in any reasonable way. | He has not slsckened his efforts, as the Register assumes. He has been urging all along the "fght by appointment" section of the Florida statutes. Governor Mitch ell agrees with him in this. Mayor Fletch CT, who Is opposed to the fight, apparently thinks otherwise. Attorney Cowles thought that the arrests under the assault section were clearly good, and wired citations fol that hearing. He called attention to th, pugilist MitchelPs experience with priz, fighting as assault at common law. Resi na va. Conley, Q. B. D., 643).

AN ILLINOIS DECISION.

A very interesting and important decis- of Illinois concerning the anti trust act of that state. The act in question was passed by the general assembly of 1898. It defines 6 trust ss combination of capital for the purpose of restricting prod uction, or in- creasing prices, or to prevent competition, or to control trade in any way. Section of the act on this subject is very elaborate and the details relate to near ly every branch of industry and oom- merce in which agreements may be made by rival manufacturers or tradesmen to establish joint regulations in regard to production and prices. Other sections of the act place offenders under the provi- sions of the criminal code. Tho members of trust and all its officers and agents are declared to be conspirators and amen able to tho law against conspiracy. They may be indicted, and the nature of evidence required on their trial is described. Sec tion 8 says that any contract or agreement in violation of the provisions of this act shall be absolutely void, and not enforce able either in equity or law. And the last section absolves all debtors. It is as fol lows: Any purchaser of any article ol commodity, from any person, firm, corpo ration, or association of persons, or of two or more of them transaotiug business con trary to the provisions of the preceding sections of this act, shall not be liable fol the price or payment of such article ol commodity. and may plead this act as defense to any suit for such price or pay 1 ment.
 But the decision which has just beer \ made seems to declare that debts incurred by those who trade with trust establish ments are collectible. The particular trus under consideration opera ed under fran chises procured In West Virginia. The ap pellate court describing the organization says that 1t '1s Q separate, independent legal entity" and adds: eff 1t is atusin

NULL SHE SUE HIM3

WILL SHE SUE Hlm2
 The next picture in the Hawaiian cartoon series will probably represent ex Queen Lil in the act of suing her great and good friend at Washington for breach of prom ise. She has good ground for such action. If ever 6 poor lone female was led to be- lieve in anybody she was led to believe in her great and good friend. He made him. self look very fascinating to her. He posed before her as a man able to carry out his promises, and he promised her that if she would do as he told her to she would come out all right. She hesitated, unwilling at first to trust him, but his fair words at last ovsrcams her and sne came off her perch. There was brief, very brief, period of confidence and certainty and then came tho doubt [ the sad awak- ening. Her great and good friend having made her say yes, began to grow cold. He no longer brseged to her about what he meant to do for her. He grew conscious that others had to be consulted before he could keep his promise to her, and now he has declared that his people must say whether or not he is to keep that promise. And poor Lii is in the very humilating po- sition of having been taken in by her great her teeth she is not e woman. Her great and good friend is entirely right about consulting his folks, but she is left.
 The left queen is not, however, without q defender, and, appropriately enough, it is one of her own sex, who can realize her feelings. Mary Clarence Duell, of Plain field, New Jersey, thus comes to her sup port: ''The chief magistrate of a great na- tion, promising restoration to hopeless and conspired-sgainst queen; getting her to waive all revenge or rectifcstion of wrongs in consideration of his aid, and then, before little criticism, withdrawing and selecting another arbiter in his place, without either the quesn'scr the eubetitute arbiter's consent-in other words abandon ing the woman who trusted himl Cannot this great wrong, at which every true Amer ican should hang his head-this wrong to manhood and womanhood-bs redressed!" We are afraid 1t cannet, Mary. The chief magistrate of q great nation like this should have looked at least two ways for Sunday before he made such promises as he did to Sister Dominis. He had no right to make such promises without the consent of his folks, and while they o,ay be sorry that she has been misled. they feel obliged to look after the interests of their own family. They are therefore properly spanking their chief magistrate, and they hope that it will be long time before he again takes 1t into his head to make promises to an ex-qusen that he cannot keep.

In prize essay which was read before the Royal Statistical society in London the other evening, the author, Dr. Jones, mAin- tained that, contrary to the general belief, there Is no connection between the number of deaths of infants from neglect and the system of child insurance He admitted that this system is very general among the industrial classes in urban districts; but he held, and the president of the society, MT. Charles Booth, an eminent authority, agreed with him, that the causes to which the excessive martality should be attributed are altogether different. Sheer ignorance, he declared, unquestionably accounts for @ considerable proportion of infant deaths. The statistics point clearly to improp- CT feeding as another prevalent cause. He commended the example of the Buekipg- hamshire county council, which employs 'rural health h-missionsrs' to go about from house to house, and instruct the mothers of the rising and the next generation in the art of bringing up children. The h. creased employment of women in industrial occupations is also, Dr. Jones is inclined to think, fruitful source of infant mor- tality. Mrs. Fawcett, however, who took part in the discussion, would not accept this view. She founded her dissent on tbs
 fact that, during the century which ha, | witnessed 6 general resort of women te
 work of various kinds, the growth of tht population has been four times as great q formerly. On the other hand, 1t was ar
 gued that if the general employment o1 women led to an increase in the number O.
 early marriages and of births, 1t added
 nothing to the increase or carefulnees O the mothers.
