PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON CUBAN
TREATY AND TARIFF QUESTION

"The present phenomenal prosperity
has been won under a tariff which was
made in accordance with certain fixed
and definite principles. the most i'm
portant OF which is an avowed deter
mination to protect the interests of the
American producer. business man.
"In making any readjustment there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. If tar
in law has on the whole worked well.
and IL business has prospered under n
and is prospering. it may be better to
endure some incOnveniences and in
equalities for time than by making
changes to risk causing disturbance
and perhaps paralysis in the industries
and business Of the country.
"One point we must steadily keep in
mind. The question of tariff revision,
speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts.
mo change in tariff duties can have
any substantial effect in solving the So
called trust problem.
Certain great trusts of great cor
porations are wholly unaffected by the
tariff. Practically all the others that
are of any Importance have as matter
of fact numbers of smaller American
competitors, and, of course, a change in
the tariff which would work injury to
the large corporation would work not
merely injury but destruction to its
smaller competitors, and equally, of
course, such change would mean dis
aster to all the wage-workers connect
ed with either the large or the small
corporations. From the standpoint of
those interested in the solution Of the
trust problem such change would
therefore merely mean that the trust
was relieved of the competition of its
weaker American competitors and
thrown only into competition with for
eign competitors. and that the first eff
fort to meet this new competition
would be made by cutting down wages
and would. therefore, be primarily al
the cost of labor. In case of some Of
our greatest trusts such a change
might confer upon them a positive
benefit. Speaking broadly. it is evil
dent that the changes in the tariff will
affect the trusts for veal or for woe
simply as they affect the whole coun-
try. The tariff affects trusts only as 1t
affects all other interests. 1t makes
all these interests. large or small,
profitable, and its benefits can be TAX
en- from the large only under penalty
of taking them from the small also.
ITO sum up, then, We must as peo-
pie approach a matter of such prime
economic Importance as the tariff
from the standpoint of our business
needs. We cannot afford to become
fossilized or to fail to recognize the
fact that as the needs of the country
change it may be necessary to meet
these new needs by changing certain
features of our tariff laws. Still less
can we afford to fail to recognize the
further fact that these changes must
not be made until the need for them
may result"

MORMON LEADER
PREDICTS A PANIC

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 5.-Presi-
dent Joseph F. Smith, head of the Nor
mon church and its revelator, seer and
prophet, made remarkable address to
$4,000 Mormons at the seventy-third
annual conference held in the great
tabernacle yesterday.
Speaking as one inspired and as the
mouthpiece of God, President Smith
declared a financial panic was due. He
warned his hearers to prepare for a
period of hardship.
Millionaires and farm hands were in
the great auditorium that was spell
bound by the prophets words. In
opening his address President Smith
said: Il desire to mention one OF two
subjects which deem worthy the at
tention of the brethren who shall
speak by the holy spirit. One of these
is:
"In this time of prosperity, 1t is
highly proper for the Latter Day Saints
to get out of debt We may prepare
now for period of great depression. "
Then, referring to the New York
newspapers attack on Mormonism, he
said: There never was time when
1t was so necessary as now for the
Latter Day Saints to live their religion
See the activity of the enemies of our
religion. When the heather rage and
the wicked inveigh against the follow
ers of this religion, you may set 1t
down as a fact that the devil is not
dead"
President Smith scored the genteel
professors without mincing words
"The vast majority of these" he de-
clared, "are worthless. They are
leeches upon the body polite"

Will Lease to sheepmen.

Washington, April 5.-A. A. Ander
son, special forest reserve agent, has
been instructed to make arrangements
for the leasing of lands recently added
to the Yellowstone forest reserve, in
Wyoming, for sheep-grazing purposes.
Before any leases are made Mr.. Ander-
son will decide the number of sheep
that may be allowed to Craze on the
lands and shall have full discretionary
powers in the matter. He is fully au-
thorized to remove all live stock now
on the reservation.

Rio erande Raises Wages.

Denver, April 6.-Manager Edison of
the Rio Grande system Saturday night
concluded his conference with the
trainmen of that road and granted
them a fifteen per cent. raise in wages
for freight conductors and brakemen,
and twelve per cent advance for pas
senger conductors and brakemen.
The demand made by the men was
twenty per cent. and the figures grant
ed, taking into consideration other
grants, is practically what they have
been battling for.

Minneapolis, April 5.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived here at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A drive
through the principal street, with the
mayor acting as escort, ended at the
Nicollet hotel, where a short reception
was held The President was then
taken to the banquet hall. where hun
dreds of the leading men OF the city
gave q hearty reception.
| After the banquet President ROose-
welt was introduced and spoke on THE
Tariff" in part, as follows:
MY Fellow Citizens: At the spe-
cial session of the Senate held in
March the Cuban reciprocity treaty
was ratified. When this treaty goes
into effect it will confer substantial
economic benefits alike upon Cuba, be-
cause of the widening of her market
in the United States. and upon the
United States. because of the equal
widening and the progressive control
1t will give to our people in the Cuban
market.
Under the Platt amendment Cuba
| agreed to give us certain naval sta
tions on her coast. The Navy Depart
ment decided that we needed but two,
| and we have specified where these two
are to be. President Palma has con-
cluded an agreement giving them to
us-an agreement which the Cuban
legislative body will doubtless soon
ratify. In other words, the Republic
of Cuba has assumed a special relation
to our international political system,
under which she gives us outposts of
defense, and we are morally bound to
extend to her in degree the benefit
of our own economic system. From
every standpoint of wise and enlight-
ened home and foreign policy the rati-
fication of the Cuban treaty marked a
step of substantial progress in the
growth of our Nation toward greatness
at home and abroad.
Equally important was the action
on the tariff upon products of the Phil
ippines. We gave them reduction of
twenty-five per cent. and would have
given them reduction of twenty-five
per cent. more had it not been for the
opposition, in the hurried closing
days Of the last session, of certain gen.
tlemen who. by the way, have been
representing themselves both as pc
culiarly solicitous for the interests of
the Philippine people and as special
champions of the lowering of tariff
duties There is distinctly humorous
side to the fact that the reduction of
duties which would benefit Cuba and
the Philippines, as we'll as ourselves,
was antagonized chiefly by those who
in theory have been fond of proclaim
ing themselves the advanced guardians
Of the oppressed nationalities in the
islands affected and the ardent advo-
Gates of the reduction of duties gener-
ally. but who instantly took violent
ground against the practical steps to
! accomplish either purpose.
Moreover, law was enacted put
ting anthracite on the free list and
completely removing the duties on all
other kinds of coal for one year.

Immense C. F. and !. Payroll.

Pueblo, Colo, April 6.-The c. F.

history of the company. The money

ployes and amounts to $342, ,705.43. 1t

A NEW DEPARTURE
A New, EffectuaI and Convenient Cure
For Catarrh.

OF catarrh remedies there is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been a great scarcity There are many
remedies to relieve. but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snufing salt water
through the nose would often relieve,
and the washes, douches, powders and
enhaIers in common use are very little,
II any better than the old-fashionec
salt water dOuche-
The use OF inhalers and the applica-
ton of salves. washes and powders to
the nose and throat to cure catarrh IS
no more reasonable than to rub the
back TO cure kidney disease Catarrh
is lust as much blood disease as kid
ney trouble or rheuma tism and it can
not be cured by local treatment any
more than they can be.
To cure catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antiseptlc
treatment Is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poison out Of the blood and
system. and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan. and the remarka Bile
success Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets IS
because being used Internally it drives
out catarrhal infection through action
upon stomach. liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman. of St. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with cataTrh which
is of value TO millions of catarrh SUI
ferers everywhere. He saws Il neg

realized that I must get rid of catarrh

the man. Did you drop the eggs out

about it,

his coat sleeve across his eyes and tried
to look cheerful. I amt got no more
money TO get some other eggs and

Bacteria are 5eIly-ltke cells. Of micro
