cULLoM ON THE TARIFF
Illinois Senator Sees Necessity for
Revision

Revision
The Senior Senator of Illinois is
not a radical tariff reformer, but he
is good observer and student of
public sentiment He has favored the
ratification of the reciprocity treaties,
and he realizes that tariff revision is
a real, not sham, issue. He is more
reasonable and progressive in dealing
with this question than reformer-man-
ager Babcock, who forgets as chair
man what he has forcefu1ly and in
diligently said as tariff reformer-
Illinois sympathizes with Cuba and
reduction of duty. But it does not
stop there. AS Senator CuIlom says.
s"the people of Illinois are also think
ing great deal about tariff revision
The Senator adds:
There is no demand among our peo-
pie for anything revolutionary in tariff
matters, and I know they are willing
to trust the Democrats to do the work
which they feel should be done. What
want to do now is to inquire care
fully into the whole subject of DingIey
schedules and determine just what
rates should be cut and to what ex-
tent 1 don't know how soon we shall
have to take up this tremendous task
in Congress, but 1 do know that we
shall have to do it before a great

/ Senator--Chieago Record-HeraId
The Globe-republican., 1902-08-21

We favor such changes in the tariff
from time to time as become advisable
through the progress of our industries
and their changing relations to the
commerce OF the world. We Indorse
the policy of reciprocity the natural
complement of protection, and urge its
development as necessary to the reali-
cation of our highest commercial pos
sibiIities-'.
The Republicans who express tnem-
selves after this fashion do not look
upon the Dingley tariff law as a per-
feet, unalterab1e piece OF legislation
It has no sanctity for them They are
willing to lower duties when the prog
ress of industry makes high duties I'M
necessary for protection They are
ready to lower duties through reel
proeity treaties whenever commercial
advantages can be gained thereby
This IS the policy of Mckinley 1t is
a broad, liberal, intelligent policy
which should guide the course of the
Republican party in congress.
The Iowa Republicans also say this
year as they did last year: We favor
any modification of the tariff sched-
ules that may be required to prevent
their affording shelter to- MONOPOLY
There was opposition to this clause in
the committee on resolutions. It was
asserted that the clause would be
plea of guilty to the Democratic
charge that the tariff is the parent of
trusts Happily, the argument had no
effect The Republican party of Iowa
has not been put in the false position
it would have occupied if it had de-
clared Indirectly that the tariff sched-
ules cannot afford shelter to Inonop-
oily.
1t is notorious fact that some of
the tariff schedules do afford shelter
to monopoly That is, they permit
certain trusts or combines to exact
from domestic consumers unreason-
ably high prices for their products
prices higher than could be exacted if
the tariff afforded no more protection
than is necessary to enable the Ameri-
can producers to compete on even
terms with their foreign rivals
use of the protection they enjoy, why
should the Republicans of Iowa and OF
the United States hesitate to say so?
Why should not they promise to de-
prive the trusts of a shelter they are
abusing? The language used in the
Iowa platform is not confession tn at
the tariff is the parent of trusts There
are trusts in free trade England The
language is a simple statement that
! the party which made the tariff will

A Wonderful Feat.

Recently party from the embassies
at Constantinop1e went to inspect the
international 1ifeboat service on the
Black sea coast At one OF the life
saving stations they thought they
would like to test the conditions of
Hfeboat work, so, clothing themselves
in bathing costumes and cork jackets,
they each took an oar in lifeboat, to
the huge delight of the Turkish boat
men, One of the secretaries of the
British embassy is never seen without
an eyeglass. and is said even to sleep
with it. On this occasion he was
faithful to his glass and soIemnIy en-
barked in a cork jacket and eyeg1ass-
All the proper exercise were gone
through, and finally the boat was
capsized and righted again by It's own
crew As they crept out from under
the capsized boat a howl or surprise
came from the Turks, for the secre-
tary's head appeared with the eyegIass
firmly fixed in it's proper position, it's
owner taking it as a matter of course
that it should be there--London Tele-

Austria.a -New Woman.

The women of Austria are coming
to the front with rapid strides in the
struggle for life. Their latest conquest
is the railway. They have already
taken possession of the posts and tel
egraphs, the state tobacco shops and
sleeping car company's offices. Now
one of their number is become a sta
ton mistress and an official of the
ministry of ways and communications
Miss Mizzi Horak of Vienna began life
as a clerk, a position for which she
qualified by joining commercial
school. She next became comptroller
of the International sleeping car com
pany and the government has lately
appointed her station mistress of Vii

favorable she may rise in time to the

NO COFFEE HOUSES HERE
America Does Not Take Up a Plan
Which Worked in England


The coffee house is a temperance
substitute for the inn in England
says Gunton'se Magazine 1t furnishes,
minus the intoxicating stimulants
similar social features, but it is tackled
on to the same social habits that the
inn developed In this country those
habits were not formed by the saloon
experience, and the attempt to establ-
fish the coffee house as a substitute.
for the saloon necessarily lacks that
social incentive which exists in Eng
land. The coffee house here takes
on the feature of the restaurant rather
than either the German beer garden.
or the English inn. The Americans
have never. learned to go to. tn esq
places for their leisure1y intercourse.
and amuse mentS, and hence do not
find it when coffee is substituted for
beer They have gone to the theater
or to the clubs for this social outlet
1t is, therefore. not surprising to-
the careful student of. European and
American traditions that the coffee
house plan does not work In this coun--
try, though it worked well in England
To be successful, social and economic,
as well as political institutions must
largely grow out of the habits,s Gus
toms and desires of the people, They
cannot to any considerable extent be-
transp1anted from one country to. am
other.

A FAMOUS IRISH AGITATOR
One of the Men Who Blew Up the
Welland Canal Identified as Luke
Dillon.

Buffalo. n. Y. March 2S.-The Ex-
press this morning publishes a copy
righted story to the effect that Karl
Dallman. one of the three men SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the
Kingston, Ont, penitentiary for at
tempting to blow up a lock IN the Wei
land canal on April q, 1900, is no other
than Luke Dillon. the Irish national
leader and famous IS 4 close friend of
DR.. Cronin, who was murdered in Chi
cago.
Three men were captured soon after
the explosion which wrecked a portion
of one of the Canadian canal locks.
Two of them. John Walsh and John
Nolin, were identified and their records
traced. The third man, who gave his
name as Carl Dallman. was a mys-
terry. 1t was known that the name
was fictitious, but the Dominion police
and detectives failed TO identify him.
Two years ago Dillon was teller of
the dime savings bank of Philadelphia.
1t was then that the bank turned over
its accounts to the Union Security
|
ment was made to Dillon's friends that
he had gone to Europe. A year later
the report was circulated that he had
been drowned in Ireland.
The plot to blow up the Welland
canal failed. The men blundered in
lowering the dynamite into the docks
placing it in such a position that the
gates withstood the shocks. Had it
succeeded a large area of the surround
ing country would have been flooded
and the loss Of life would have been
great.

He denied that the president had de-
