The Presidents Message.

The President will now devote consider
able time to his annual message to Con-
gress. He gathered some data this morr-
ing and placed it convenient for use. The
preparation of the message will take SO
much time that unofficial callers at the
White House will find a hard road to travel
in seeing the President. A week or so be-
fore the assembling of Congress many con-
gressmen will have reached the city and
will be wanting to see the President. UE-
less the chief executive gives some time
now to his message he will not get much
chance to work on it for good while pre-
vious to the assembling of Congress.

Henry CIay's Truth.

Tho greatest want OF civilized society 81
a market for the sale and exchange OF the
surplus OF the product OF the labor OF its
members. This market may exist at home
rr abroad. or both; but II must exist sorne-
where II society prospers. -Henry Clay.
This i SO plain and evident fact
that even the free traders recognize the
truth Of IL. Because they recognize
the truth OF it, they promised us, in 1892,
the markets OF the world" under free
trade, That sounded well at least. They
had not learned what Henry Clay knew
in 1924, when the resources OF this coun-
try had hardly been developed, that
1.-The home market is first in order and
paramount in Importance" Still they
had learned and had recognized, that
we must have a market somewhere.
But, according to that very test, thus
recognized by themselves, free trade
fails. Free trade does not give MS
market anywhere. II takes away from
American producers their home market
and gives them nothing inreturn. Four
years experience under the admins
tration Of the free trade party has been
enough 10 convince the great majority
OF the people, at least, OF that fact.

The COMMITTEES on ways and means
has closed its tariff hearings. AS the
main object of the bill il intends 10
draft is to supply more revenue the
committee must have been affected UNI
pleasantly by the fact that hardly one
of the representatives Of industries who
oame before them had the question of
government revenue In mind.
Men appeared at the hearings who
demanded" higher duties than those
which tlle Mckinley law gave them.
They asked for duties in some instances
which would hnye been prohibitory and
thus have cut off revenue. Some of
these men spoke on behalf of industries
which are controlled by illegal trusts.
Higher protection was demanded" in
those instances so that foreign importa-
tions might be cut of utterly and the
consumers be left at the mercy of the
trusts, 10 be worse robbed by them than
at present.
The members OF the committee must
have been panied when they heard SO
many persons asking for something
which would swell their personal reve-
MUGS while adding nothing to those of
the government. They do not seem TO
think that il needs more money. .'
The most sensible proposition offered
the committee was made on the last
day of the hearings by the representa-
tive of Chicago commercial house. His
advice was moderation in the tariff and
specific duties.
'As an average an al vaiorem duty OF 80
yer cent. yielded but So per cent Tho bulk
~ the importing trade was In tho hands OF
foreign manufacturers, who were able TO
sell goods here cheaper than his firm could
land them in New York The paragraph
allowing duties equal 10 the manufacture
crs' cost, plus eight per cent, was the most
disadvantageous to Americans under the
system Of consignment. In many In
stances the firm found 1t cheaper to buy
goods OF conslgnees on this side than to
buy them abroad.
These statements are undoubtedly
true. The Wilson ad valorem system
was adopted by the democrats in order
that by means OF false invoices foreign
goods could get through the custom
house for about two-thirds Of the duty
they would have to pay If levied on the
price the purchaser paid for the goods.
The democrats allege that the duties
collected under their Wilson law average
over Al per cent. In reality they do
not average more than % TO 80 PER cent.
As a consequence the governmentisdc de-
frauded out Of SlO,O00,000 or $4,000, 600
year. The men who voted for the ad
valorem system intended that this
should be the case.
If the ad yalorem duties OF the Wilson
law were replaced by specific duties
equivalent to what the ad yalorcm duties
would produce If levied on the nctual
value of the goods-on the sums set
forth in the private invoices and not in
the false invoices made out To cheat the
governmcnt--there would not be quito
rs many goods OF some kinds imported
as now, but the customs revenues
would be swellsd from SIS, DOC. 900 to $780,
100000. There would be more revenue
and more protection Chicago Tribune.
