AS TO THE SHIP-SUBSIDY.
Defeat az Mark Hanna In 1904 Will
settle the Ubiquitous
scheme.

The shipbuilding plants have about
a years work ahead. running at full
capacity. and yet Mark Hanna declares
that his ship subsidy steal is needed TO
build up the merchant marine. Com
menting on this, the Philadelphia Rec
ord says: IF it were not for the linz
gering expectation of receiving large
steamship subsidies out Of the pockets
Of taxpayers there would be no dis
parage ment of the prosperity OF Amer
lean shipbuilding interests. Although
this industry has undergone new de-
velopment under the most favorable
conditions without public aid. there Is
no doubt that the subsidy scheme op-
crates as an obstruction TO it's march.
More yards would be opened and more
ships built for the ocean service at fair
profits but for the prospect of the
larger gains from subsidy. Apart
from the iniquity Of this subsidy
scheme. its removal from congress by
the defeat of the Hanna bill at the
next session would be promotive OF the
ocean transportation interests OF the
country"
And n S further evidence of how little
subsidy is needed, a statement is
sued by the bureau Of navigation.

OUT FOR RECIPROCITY.
Talk Of Partial Revision Of the
Tariff BY some Republican
Leaders.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has
been visiting Canton. and, of course,
was interviewed. When asked what
prospect is there Of tariff legislation
by congress next winter, he replied:
Il do not think there will be any, at
least In the form of a general re-
vision of the tariff. or course, am
not in position TO speak authorize
lively for the president, but feel l
am representing his ideas when say
IL.
There are, however, some things
we ought TO go into which will
amount TO partial revision of the
tariff. There are at present pending
before the senate some ten CONNER
cial treaties. These treaties are AL
of reciprocity character, and IL they
are ratified will amount to change
in the tariff with the countries with
me as if it would be wise to ratify at
least some of them. A feeling has
grown up abroad that the United
States is disposed TO act in what may
be called hoggish manner in its
trade relations, and IL these reci-
procity treaties can be drawn so as
TO be for the mutual advantage OF
both countries entering into them, !
think il would be beneficial all
around"
There is the republican programme
right from the fountain head. No re-
vision of the tariff, even to prevent the
trusts selling their products TO for
eigners cheaper than in the United
States. That is evidently the presiden-
tial idea, but the president has no
part und er the constitution in originate
ing revenue bills that is expressly the
province OF the house of representa-
tives. That bill will be introduced
by some republican member to strike
out of the tariff the protection TO some
of the most monopolistic trusts has
been promised. How many republic
ans will be found to vote for IL is
question. in-vew of the evident favor
of the administration to continue "a
protect the trusts.
The democrats will be ready to vote
for such a bill if it is reported by the
cDiHuliltt zee Oh wa, anu ih'dhS. i'AN -
is proba BILE that the administration
will control the majority of the com
mittee and the bill will be pigeon.
holed.
With regard TO the reciprocity
treaties that the senator talks about,
they are opposed on two grounds.
Some republican senator's and all the
democrats oppose them on the consti-
tutional ground that the executive and
the senate cannot originate tariff leg
islation. Then the protected indus
tries. like the wine and fruit growers
of the Pacific states, object to being
traded off that some other Industry
may have an enlarged market with
France or Germany and these indus
tries come in and compete with them.
The fruit growers and other agricul-
tural producers are certainly entitled
to protection as long as ii is the policy
of the government, and these fruit
growers are the only farmers that do
get any real protection under the
present system. The republicans are
controlled by the trusts, and tariff re-
form can only come from the demo-

WORLDS FINEST BUTTER.

Inc butter OF Denmark is consid-

No other country has been able TO
produce butter that Will stand the
changes of climate so well. In Hol.
land and Sweden attempts arc made
to compete with the Danish dairy
men, but the butter from these coun-
tries is worth only half as much, and
does not keep half as well. while the
efforts of dairymen in the United
States have practically failed. with
few isolated exceptions. There is one
creamery in Iowa. ! believe. which
produces butter that stands the trop-
ic heat comparatively well. and will
melt and solidify as ii passes from a

in Denmark.
Refrigerator ships are now found

ally spoils II for the taste. entirely

In trying to ascertain the facts.
Every butter man I met assured me
that the Danish butter was made in
the same manner and contained the
same ingredients that are found in
the buffers of other countries, cx-
cept that the Danish dairymen were
more patient and more careful in its
preparation. There was no secret
process; no preservatives were used;
no chemical change was produced be
fore packing. ertheless none OF
the several butter packers in Copen-
hagen would allow me TO inspect
their ablishments. They explained
that strangers were not admitted I'M
der any circumstances, although
there was no particular reason why
they should not be; that applications
from American darymen to witness
butter packing in Denmark were nu-
merous and frequent. and were al
ways denied. This seemed to confirm
the stories OF secret processes.

Most Popular Music.

Are the days of the music ,vacher
past?
Will the ingenious penny and slot
method take the place Of the labori-
Gus music lesson?
: The increase in the number of auto
matte music machines in use of late
years is phenomenal The old-fash-
toned music box has been supplanted
by scores of elaborate mechanical de-
vices. Tens of thousands of these are
scattered all over the country Every
railroad station or other place Of pub
lie meeting in the country has one or
more such contrivances. There is
scarcely a yacht which is not equipped
with one or more, and hundreds Of
them have been given to charitable
institutions.
The best of the mechanical musical
instruments are of American design
and manufacture. The old-fashioned
musical boxes of Switzerland are
gradually disappearing. The old form
of music box could only be renewed
by purchasing new cylinder, and
these cost from IS to 5000. The AM
erican machines are operated by rolls
of perforated paper or disks. These
disks cost less than a dollar apiece,
and may be had in great variety. The
automatic musical devices are said to
be doing excellent work by increasing
the number of people who appreciate
good music.
