The Babcock Tariff Bill.

Representative Babcocks bill to re-
duce the tariff on steel products, in
troduced Tuesday is materially differ
ent from the proposition which he put
forth in the last congress, and is in
line with the letter explaining his po-
sition which he wrote from Europe.
This is a tariffreduction measure, drawn
along the lines laid down in general by
Mr.. Mckinley and favored by the pro-
gressive friends Of tariff reform who
remain true to the principles of pro-
lection. It is designed, as is conveyed
by Mr. Babcock in the course of the
interview printed with the synopsis OF
the bill, to equalize conditions so as to
prevent the republican party from be-
coming responsible, by non-action, for
schedules which have been outgrown
by changed conditions and are utilized
by combinations to exhort unreason-
able prices from domestic consumers.
Mr.. Babcocks schedules are framed
to conform to the trade conditions of
today. They are complex and can be
understood in all of their significance
only by experts in the steel trade. He
has been aided by such class in their
preparation and by the tariff statisti-
clans of the government. Therefore, it
is reasonable assumption that this
measure represents more than a mere
ly theoretical remedy. The demand
is insistent for some measure of tariff
reduction, either along the lines Of
reciprocity or readjustment based
upon the ability of the trusts to sell
American made goods in the foreign
market cheaper than they do in the
American market. The time has
passed when the tariff wall must be
maintained at the same heights as
when the American industries were
struggling for their very existence
against the competition of the cheap
European wages and processes. The
course of the successive measures en-
dcCeu lOT UHe Ie'IoloH VI oho ooH0uuiO
has been as to certain items steadily
in the direction of lower rates. Mr..
Babcock proposes that his party, the
champion of protection, shall frankly
recognize the necessity of undermining
it's practices to permit an intelligent,
progressive application of its princi-
pies. This bill may contain flaws, for
no tariff bill, either general or special,

We neglected to say anything last
week about Editor Dugdale's double
barreled wooden wedding celebration
that he had recently at Platteville.
While his friends were filling the house
with all sorts of wooden-made presents
of various degrees of uselessness enter
prising thieves outside carried off all
his stove wood. However, Dug can
scrape along while the presents bold

One of the best resolutions in life is
that of working harder and more con-
scientiously. Work is the best thing
in life and it is only by work that one
can convert his feeting time capital
into equivalent and permanent value.
The proverb is that time is money, but
time is not legal tender and the toiler
is the only real alchemist. Many peo-
pie boast they always get their
moneys worth. But is it not far
more important to get their times
worth? Money spent may come back,
but time spent never comes back.
