POLITICAL POINTERS.

Waukesha Dispatch Secretary
Shaw, who, by virtue of his position
as a member OF the Roosevelt admin-
i.tration, is entitled to speak with
authority says that any revision of
the tariff at this time will be a conces-
sion TO the dem ocrats, and that there
must be no tariff tinkering at this
time. What extremes are we coming
to these days, anyway! Although
Secretary Root says that the only way
to get at the trusts is to revise the tar
if and Chairman Babcock of the re-
publican campaign commute has ad-
mitted that our tariff schedules en-
able the trusts to fix exorbitant prices,
and even though the Iowa republicans
say that the tariff does afford shelter
TO monopoly, still, the administration
persists in standing by the present tar
if purely on the ground that to revis e
it would be a concession to the demo-
Gratis. Will the American people
allow themselves to be held up by the
trusts who are entrenchcd behind the
MISUNDERSTANDING tariff breast
works, every time they buy anything :,
will they allow American manufacture
ers to continue to use the tariff to
extract higher prices out of them than
their foreign price simply to save the
republican party the necessity of max
ing a concession to the democrats?
Perhaps they will, but somehow we
cannot insult their intelligence enough
to believe that they will.
George d. Cline in the Hudson
True Republican,: Two years ago a
primary election law went into force,
the first test of its operation being in
Minneapolis, Conservative republi-
cans looked to the working of this law
over there for guidance in passing
one at home. They had not long to
wait. Within six months after the
first set of officers were elected in
Minneapolis part of the aldermen were
proven guilty of bribery, the chief of
the detective service was in prison
and the mayor under two indictments.
All this failure in the practical work
ing Of it has no effect upon the deter
mination of LitFOllette to force a
similar law upon the people OF Wis
cousin, but like a man who has gone
crazy on one idea, he forces that idea
to the front during all his rawlings.
The people of Minnesota are already
preparing to repeal the WORKOUT and

state just as the republican party in
Wisconsin is stalking a state cam

awe look elsewhere to find what is
specially provided for as to anthra-
cite Goals The Ethiopian in the
woodpile, or more precisely the tariff
in the coal pile, Is discovered on
page 100 Of the same volume, which
reads:
"'Coal, bltuminous. and ALL GOALS con-
tanning less than 81 per Centum OF fixed car
bon and shale, 81 cents per ton
'Provision is made prescribing the
weight of n ton as twenty-eight bush
els Of eighty pounds per bushel and a
drawback, when coal on which duty
has been paid Is used for fuel on
American vessels.
CHOW the fact Is that virtually all
the anthracitcs used for fuel In fur
naces for gas making and in locOmo-
tives contain less than ~ per cent Of
fixed carbon. In ApplctOns American
encyclopedia it Is said in u scientific
article on anthracite: 'The best spcci-
mems contain 80 per cent Of carbon,
but the average production of the
purest beds will not exceed 30 per cent
and generally not more than 80 TO 81
per cent Of carbon JOhnsOn's EnCy-
clOpTdia gives the average analysis
Of the anthracites Of Pennsylvania az
running from Sl.l4O per cent Of fixed
carbon TO III. 4Ol per cent. The statis-
tical tables in the American encyclO-

Pennsylvania the per cent Of fixed

use, for household use and for the
generation OF steam in this country

the sly. An ignorant body Of con
gressmcn, probably, did not know
what they were about when they
changed the policy Of the country for
the last 40 years by putting tariff
on anthracite coal to cover the varie-
ties in common use among the people,

These figures tell the story. The
importation Of anthracite coal was
increasing rapidly in 1896 aud the
early part Of 1891 The coal trust,
combine, or conspiracy, producing
their forty odd millions of tons year
ly, could not tolerate the importation
Of the bagatcllc Of $50, 600 tons, and
the tariff of 1897 was passed, as above
shown, to put all the anthracitcs in
general use for households, factories
and locomotives on the duLiablo list
at 81 cents IL ton.
"Mark how quickly 1t stopped the
Importation Of anthracite and deli
