A TARIFF THAT DOES NOT PROTECT

A. B. Farquhar writes in the Annals Oh
the American Academy:
Another fact which business men cannot
afford to neglect is found in the operation OF
he general law that it as that part OIL tne
nroduct which is-normally, not occasionally
or acknowledgements at the greatest dis
advantage to the producer, whose cost OF pro,
ductnn fixes the price Of the whole. Applleu
to those who produce more than enough lor
the home demand, this law SHOWS us "orhihs
in the absurd fact that the exported SURPLUS
ALWAYS fixes the price of the product unless
there is a combination of producers assisteu
by an import duty to maintain "a hlgner price
for the same goods at home than ABROAD.
In the case of combinations or consoli-
dations of manufacturing companies IL IS
possible with the assistance OF the tarlh
to create a higher market at nome thah
abroad. as we know by reports from time
TO time of various American goods being
sold cheaper abroad than at nome
The operations Of the German sugar
cartel we'll illustrate this principle, that
organization having made the, Germans
paw enough on their sugar to y1eld the
cartel a profit on it's whole BUSINESS
though much of it's product was unloaded

But notwithstanding the ceaseless
efforts Of our indefatigable friend, }. u.
Hanley, a farmers combine is not posi-
bile. Hence the farmer, notwithstanding
the .25-cent tariff on wheat, is not pro-
tected at all. The tariff in no way enters
into the determination of the price OF MS
nroducts. That is determined by the
price the surplus brings abroad. IL
would be different if the American farmer
produced less than the American demand
But he does produce more and Will con-
tinue to do so Indefinitely. AS the price
is tbus fixed outside American dom1nlons
and by competition with other Wneat' IL
seems to be plain that the admission OF

Canadian farmers market and making MS
product part of the American OUTPUT an
element of competition abroad would pc
removed and both he and the American
would receive somewhat higher price
for their wheat than they otherwise
would. other things being equal.

Peters Pence.
Although the regular annual Peters Pence
collections have not been taken up yet in the
| archdiocese Of New York, the sum Of $4,000
has been already forwarded from here to
Rome for the support Of the pope. This
money was obtained by levying assessments
on each parish in accordance with its financial
standing and was cabled directly to Cardinal
Rampolla, papal secretary of state, the
day of the recent pontifcial mass of thanks
giving for the holy father in ST. Patrick's
Cathedral, which was attended by all the
bishops Of the province. The acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the money was sent,
it is said, by Bishop Farley, who is now in
Rome.
The total of the Peters Pence from all ma
tons last year was $4,000.

DICKENS, UNFORTUNATE LOVE

Concerning Charles Dickens. it is we'll
known that though he married Catherine,
one of George Hogarths three daughters, in
1886, NE was later devoteaAy attached to her
sister Mary. Why he did not marry Mary in
the first place is not certainly known unless
it be that Mary, a young woman of great
loveliness of character, had successfully con-
cealed her own affection for GATHERINGS be-
trothed in order to save her sister from dis
appointment. Percy Fitzgerald, friend OF
Dickens, expresses this idea in an article in
Harper's Magazine for April, entitled "Dick-
ems in His Books There seems to be much
popular interest in this author now, and IL
his vogue returns, it will assuredly be q, re-
vival, as well as survival. of the fittest. for

than in the novels Of Dickens3 X

expense Of an American industry. That
Is making 1t a little strong. Ofscourse no
one would deliberately seek to injure any
American industry, but If any reduction

He told the same thing to the conductor,
and persuaded him to close the rear door
and lock it, The car was taken within few
steps of the fremont police station. Then the
man with the goatee went inside and told
Sergeant Egan there was a smallpox case on
the car. The sergeant sent out six police
men, who brought twenty-five passengers
into the police station. The man with the
rash was put out in the yard under guard
and the sergeant telephoned to the health

More Trouble for Miss Burns.
New evidence that has developed in the
Brooks murder case has made it probable
that Florence Burns will be indicted and
placed on trial, In spite of the refusal Of
Judge Mayer to hold her to the grand jury
Developments have been rapid during the last
two days and a strong web of evidence is
being weaved. Miss Burns is located to-day
in Peekskill, where she is living with rela-

Mr.. Canfield's Place.
Statements have been printed recently to
the effect that there has been high play at
roulette by members of some of the fash

street The street directory gives that house
as the residence of Richard A. Garfield. 1t
was evident last night that the master of the
house was away, for the shutters were closed
tightly and the men who called there shortly
after o'clock were unable to get in.
Police Captain Lantrey of the East Fifty

noon if he'd ever heard that 5 East Forty

he had and added:

PAID GENERAL LEE THE 80

When General Ftzhugh Lee was in Cleve-
land the other day he was amazed by call
from young man who gave his name as
Lieutenant Ira G. Farley, and who prefaced
his business by pressing 81 bill into the
generals hand. The visitor explained that
he had served under Maceo in Cuba from
1895 to 1897 and that in the latter year, being
sick and out of funds, ne had applied to Lee
for transportation home, but would accept
only 81. This, Lieutenant Farley explained,
was the first opportunity he had had Of re-
paying the loan.
