 "A License to Steal"

That must nave been embarrassing information to the United States senate which Statistician Carroll D. Wright fur nished that body last week concerning the labor cost of lumber i'll this country and ill Canada. His figures showed that, while the average wages i'll Canadian sawmills is $l II and $1.7l per day here, the average labor cost of l,000 feet of lumber is SIPS in Canada and only 9I cents here. The decreased cost of production in this country Is attrIb- uted to the superior machinery used. Of course tine figures prove the free .rade contention that the rate of wages paid does not indicate the cost of pro duction-that low wages are very often more expensive to employers, and vice versa. But these hard facts furnished by an officer of the government Will not dissuade the lumber barons from their purpose to get tariff OH Canadian lum- Der so that they can the more efTeetually rob American consumers. Proteetlonlsts care nothing for facts. What they want is license to steal. National single Taxer.

New England is much concerned about free hides. Some of her biggest industries, especially that of boots and shoes, have been built up during our quarter of century of free hides. She now sells boots and shoes in all parts of the world. Taxed hides would cripple this and other industries. Her leading senators pretend to represent her and to put up fight for free hides. In reality they will, if necessary, sacrifice free hides to obtain high duties on sue- ar with plenty of margin for trust prof its. Just why this is so should be a matter for senatorial investigation, if such investigation would only investi- gate. Fortunately for the Sugar trust, but unfortunately for the rest of as TO, 900, coo people, the Sugar trust un- derstands well the art of making friends where they will do the most good. It has able attorneys to advise it how to distribute it's sweets to politicians and lawmakers and at the same time to steer clear Of jails.
 In this way and ill this way only can Ye account for the attitude of not few prominent tariff makers at Washington. The situation is nteresting-decided

Much has been written about tho beauty, the stupidity and the vicious ness of the lizard tribe, and l want to say word about the intelligence of the chameleon, q little reptile belonging to the great lizard family and in size the antipodes of the alligator, its big brother
 The incident now relate came under my personal observation and demon strates that the chameleon is susceptible of education and can be ranked with animals chased much higher in the scale of intellectual development
 Miss Henrietta Keene, little lady of 12 years, living in Philadelphia, was presented with two Florida chameleons, and she at once began instructing and educating her pets. By continued gen. tleness and kindness she won their con fidence and at her call they would raise Their heads, listen and then come run hing quickly. Soon they responded to their namos-Brinton and Bahy-and nodded their little heads knowingly
 She then taught them to stand up OH their hind legs and pat their little fore paws together and stand i'll the attitude of prayer, locking solemn and closing their eyes. At a signal they would quickly prostrate themselves, roll over on their backs and pretend to be dead, lying without motion until told to rise and embrace, which they would do with every sign of joy and pleasure.

Prices of Linens Go Up.

When the tariff bill was about to be framed, the Republican leaders stated that they desired to be moderate and to avoid anything like excessive rates. Mr. Aldrich, when introducing the amended measure into the senate, claimed that his rates were generally lower than those of the house bill The lnen schedule, however, is q notable one of many exceptions. In it the senate rates are higher than those cf the house and much higher than anything ever before known
 Under the Mckinley bill of 1890 lin ens were assessed 30 per cent, with few exceptions as high as 50 per cent ad valorem. Under the rates proposed by the senate q large proportion of the goods in everyday use will be assessed from Go to 8j per cent and in some cases over 100 per cent The following table shows some of the changes i'll the cost of medium and low grado linens:
 Price per yard.

 The gross injustice of these duties can be appreciated when it is remem- bered that, owing to climatic condi- tions, good fiber flax cannot be grown or linen manufactured successfully i'll this country, and when 1t is further re- membered that the kind of linen taxed is the kind that is used by the poorest classes, while much lower duty is put on the finer grades.

Judge Morris of Toledo Refuses to Re-
strain the WoOlson Spice Company.
TOLEDO, o., March 23.-The long.
expected decision of Judge Morris of
the common pleas court, in the suit
of Arbuckle Bros, against the sugar
trust, is in favor Of the latter. The
suit was brought by Thomas J. Kuhn,
and the Arbrckles, owners of minoE-
ity Of the stock in the Woolson Spice
company of this city, against the Wool.
son Spice company, and the leading
stockholders in the American Sugar
Refining company, for the appoint
ment of receiver for the Woolson COM
pany, the majority of whose stock had
been bought by the Havemeyers of the
the sugar trust. The plaintiffs declared
the sugar trust purchased this stock to
injure Arbpc Bros, and to compel
them from going into the sugar retin.
ing business; that the business is being
run at loss and therefore the prOtec.
ton of the interests of the minority
stockholders require that perpetual
injunction be made against the Wool.
sons selling coffee at loss, and that a
receiver be appointed to conduct the
business.
Judge Morris opinion is very volum.
inous, covering 2S typewriter pages.
He holds that the matter of the price al
which the company may sell its coffee
strictly pertains to the internal agree
ment of the concern, and so long as
they act in good faith the directors cal
not be interfered with by the court
which cannot restrain a corporation
from selling at a low price, even though
| the minority stockholders can show
| that sound business discretion woulc
dictate different policy. The testi
mony, however, showed that the Wool
sons We're selling at a fair margin o.
profit. The application for perpetua
injunction is therefore denied.

NELSON DINGLET, JR.

man (Rep., N " the distinguished
honor of presiding over the committee
Those who expected the debate to be-
gin Immediately were disappointed.
The leaders decided not to dispense
with the reading of the bill, but to
have it read in full at the outset. i'll
order to disarm the criticism passed on
previous bills, that they were put
through without even having been
read in the house. The spectators i'll
the galleries and the members on the
floor waited while the clerk droned
through the l63 pages of the bill
The reading of the bill consumed a
little over two hours, SO it was II 30
before the leader of the majority, Mr..
Dingley, was recognized to open the
debate.
Mr.. Dingley began by stating that
congress having been convened i'll ex-
ira session, the facts that led to the
issuance of the presidents message
were that the government revenues
during the past four years had been
insufficient to meet expenditures to the
extent of more than $500, 900 900, or
an average of $50, 900, 900 per annum
that this deficiency will continue to
grow under existing conditions that
the deficiency has been met by borrow
ing, that is by bond sales, and that this
has promoted distrust, intensified and
prolonged the run on the treasury and
weakened business confidence.
This deficiency of revenue, said Mr.
Dngley, has nearly all arisen from a
falling off of revenue from duties On
imports and not from a decline of rev.
enue from internal taxes.
In revising the tariff, he said, the
committee have endeavored to discard
mere theories, and have addressed
themselves to the framing of a practi-
cal remedy, at least in part, for the ills
which have for SO many months over
shadowed the country.

POOLING ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Decides the Case
Against the Trans-M Missouri
Association,
Holding That the Sherman Anti
Trust Law Is Applicable
TO Railroads.
Decision in the Arbuckle Injunc.
tiOn Case in Favor Of the
Sugur Trust.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The su
preme court has decided the case OF
the United States versus the Trans.
Missouri Freight association. against
the railroads The opinion was rem.
dered by Justice Peckham and reverses
the decision Of the court below, and
holds the antitrust law of 1890 to be
applicable to railroad transportation
and the traffic agreement of the pool
illegal
Justice Peckham reviewed the his
tory of the case and stated the conclu.
sions of the court in very few words.
He said the bill had originally been
filed by the government for the purpose
of securing the setting aside OF the
agreement operating in the Southwest,
which constituted the association to fix
rates of transportation to which the
various roads constituting the poo
should agree. The bill was filed under
the law known as the Sherman anti
trust act of 1890. The defendants had
in their answer denied the govern.
to the point of improper intent and
upon these shOwings the case proceeded
to hearing.
The Lower Courts Ruling.
The court ba'Ow decided that the
Sherman act did not apply to railroads,
and therefore refused to sustain the
government. 1t was also held by the
lower court that even It the act did
apply the agreement was not one look
ing to the unreasonable restraint OF
trade. Continuing Justice Peckham
said that when the case was brought
| into the supreme court, the defendant
had moved to dismiss the appeal on the
| ground that the freight associations
had been dissolved, leaving nothing be.
fore the court, and also OH the allega.
ton that the amount involved was no,
sufficient to justify the consideration OF
| the case i'll the supreme court of the
United States. These motions We're
both overruled by the courts conclu-
| sion just announced.
Justice Peckham said that the mere
| dissolution of the association did not
determine the question, as there was
| still relief to be had. Taking up the
case on its merits, he said the court
had reached the conclusion that tht
Sherman act does cover the ques
ton of railroad transportation, anc
agreement between the various roads ii
within the prohibition of the act
Hence the decision Of the lower court
which was favorable to the contention
Of the railway company, was reversed
| and the case remanGed.

White dissented, Justice White deliv
