FOR LOWER TARIFF.
Russian Statesman Says That's the
Country's Worst Need.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.1
st. Petersburg, Dec 3.-Mr- Anton Rad
zig, a statistician and economist of high
landing has taken a strong stand
against a chauvinistic commercial policy.
In a published letter he says the tariff
difficulties with the United States have
brought Russia considerable d~isadvan-
tages with no c-ompensating advantages.
Referring to Germany, Mr.. Radzig says
she is very foolish to raise her ~breadstuff
because German agrieulturists are unable
to supply all the demands of the German
population for f~oodstuffs. He anticipates
that the principal result of a high Ger
man tariff will be q general rise in prices
which the consumer will nave to pay.
What Russia needs is not higher, but
lower, duties, and above all he believes
that a commercial war would be the
worst possible investment for the coun-
try.

NIPPED In THE BUD.


Fred VANDERBILT. has uncovered a plan
of the packers of Congressman Curtis
for United States senator to pack the
Kansas Day banquet with the friends
of Mr.. Curtis, which may result in an
overwhelming crowd at the banquet.
He says:
gresham Charles Curtis boom for
United States senator, has sent to the
Kansas Day club committee a list of 33i
men whom he wants invited to the an
nual banquet to be given January 20.
The scheme is 10 pack the meeting with
Curtis men and SO convert the feast into
a Curtis affair. The paid no
to the request, for the reason
that every Republican who has the price
of a plate is invited without waste of
stationery and postage. The request,
however, has served to inform the
friends OF other candidates for United
States senator of Curtis proposed flank
movement, and it is probable that tables
senate chamber, in the supreme court
room and elsewhere in the state house.
It will be a great day for the hotels
and the drug stores of Topeka.
1T is fortunate for the management
of the banquet that this rivalry of SEN
atorship boom has come VI for it will
give a zest and spirit to the occasion
that otherwise would be lacking. The
committee has been disappointed in it's
plans for oratofical attractions this
winter, and its programme, while an
nOunced ana published, Is still subject
to amendment. There is a scarcity of
native timber, and to piece out some
men who have been on exhibition be-
fore have been put on. The committee
built it's hopes on Senator Hanna, of
Ohio, but he has a previous engagement.
Then Senator Foraker was talked of,
but the second thought came that Sen
ator Foraker might resent being made
second choice. Next the committee
turned to Marcus A. Low, who replied
that he expects to be in washington
January 20. In place of Mr.. Lows own
proper person, P. A. Valentine promises
to read Mr.. Lows speech, but Mr.. Low
has not consented to write it yet; so
that number on the programme is in the
air.
THE chief attraction, and. indeed, an
attraction even with Senator Hanna on
the programme, will be Col. william H.
R~ossington, of Topeka. Colonel R-s-
sington is only recently from the Demo-
cratic fold. and his address is apt to
contain some ideas never heard at a
Republican banquet before"
