Firmly. It is as effective as white

The senator has just as decided ideas
on the tariff question. He is firmly con-
vinced that protective duties, especially
those on coal, should go up. Tariff up,
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bin and Is what
will happen and in fact is happening

the men who furnished the money to

"The senate tariff bill as whole"
says ex-Congressman John De Witt
Warner, ''is a notice to eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as n sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
TO feed on the rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet they are in
vited by a certain convocation of polite
worms to supper not where they eat,
but where they are eaten The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are TO take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit of 9TH
ers, who now control legislation. This
applies especially TO the hide schedule"
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that SEIZED
ule?"
81 think not. The bill as II stands is
satisfactory to the sugar trust, and
probably cannot be kept so except by
the votes controlled by the cattle trust
OF the west. We're the New England SEN
atOrs willing TO risk offending the sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with sugar trust influence than
is any other part of the country, and.
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the
fate of their boot and shoe manu-
facturers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the sugar trust
interests TO help them"

PerpetnnI MotIon hy Protcction.


The California argument for high
or fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo
ton. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornia fruit raiser is at is to he found
in the cost OF his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive is
the proftablencss OF fruit culture.
So the matter works out In this way:
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value OF land mp TO hundreds OF dol
lars an acre. The interest on the value
of the land makes n large item in a
fruit raiscr's balance sheet, and he feels
the need of high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting II he known that he will not vote
Tor the tariff bill unless il contains du-
ties on hides and increased duties on
fruits and the cheapest sorts of wool.
The increased duties adds TO the prof
its of fruit culture, and the price of land
takes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains that the interest en-
his land investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is so
high that there is an insufficient profit
in the business for him, and the only
thing that Will save him from disaster
is more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase in the price
of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
off for the change. The grower, so far
as he is not TO be considered as land
owner will be no better off, but the
yalue of the land will Ia &c b;crb as a. q,
profits of fruit culture will permit

'Lawrence Is not interested in wool,

they sell to the ranchmen to improve
the breed of their sheep and better the
quality of their wool. This is a prosaic,
useful business, but the country would
not be ruined If it were stopped. 1t is
in order to be able to sell more rams
