Tariff Revision Urged.


The National Association Of Manu-
iacturers have been holding cOnven
tion, and amongst the resolutions re
ported for consideration was one "urg-
ing tariff revision on general lines. y
Last year at their convention at De.
;roit similar resolution was adopted
but the Republican Congress paid no
attention to such demands. Manufac-
turers have discovered that the tariff
tax pinches them as well as the con-
sumers and by advancing the cost of
living forces increased wages. They
have also discovered that the tariff fOs-
ters trusts and that the trusts obliter-
ate competition and advance prices.

out of the farmers in increased cost

The boot and shoe manufacturers
ind that the duty on hides makes dear
boots. The paper manufacturers COM
plain that the duty on wood pulp in
rreases the cost of paper, and the list
might be continued to include all kinds
Of raw material Most of these manu-
facturers have felt the pinch of the
increased duties demanded by foreign
countries on goods they sell for ex-
port; for all the European cOuatries ex-
cept England are trying in this way

cultural products to protect their own
agriculturalists. If Europe should have
good crops-which has not been the
case for three or four years and this
country should be fortunate in having
another favorable season-the price of
some farm products will drop to those
of ten years since. and our farmers
will have a hard time to make both
ends meet again.
When Europe has short crops they
are compelled to buy of us. or of other
countries who raise surplus, but they
purchase these necessities where they
can buy them cheapest, tariff or no

Republican Conservatism. II.


The Chicago Journal recommends
that the trusts be let alone until the
Supreme Court decides just where we
are at. and other stalwart Republican
organs are following in the samSpath.
The argument is used that it will dis
turb business. a wholesale attack
upon them would be so disastrous to
business prosperity" says the Journal.
that it is not to be contemplated for
moment. and we can depend upon the
conservatism of the administration to
prevent the adoption of any such poll
cy'' As President Roosevelt said that
caution was necessary In dealing
with this issue and declared that the
| tariff must not be touched, it is fair to
assume that there will be no more
trust-busting for season. The pOliti-
cal exigencies of the Republican party
demand conservatism" and that
means no relief from trust exactiOns.
but TO stand pat until after election.
How the public. who are paying trust
prices. will like this dO-nOthing policy
is the question. Unlike the Republican
politicians they have no interest in
checks from the corporations to fatten
the campaign fund; it is their own
bank account they are interested in,
and which they know the trusts are
depicting. SO they will vote for the
party that will help them to keep their
savings.
1t is results that tell in curbing the
trusts, as in other legislation. and ev-
cry one knows that no relief has so far
resulted from the so-called antitrust
legislation. The beef combine is stin
charging what it pleases for meat, and
the railroads included in the merger
suit continue TO charge "all the traffic
will bear" Not one Of the hundreds
of trusts have reduced the. prices Of
their commodities in consequence of
the legislatfcp of the last Congress,
and no railroad has reduced its charges
because the Attorney General insti-
tuted suit against one Of the COM
binations into which they have all en-
tered.
Can anyone point to any other effort
that has been made to curb single
trust or take from them the monopoly
that gives the bad ones their power:
The trust or combine that has no mon
opoly or special privilege back of it
is not to be feared: 1t is the hundred
and one that are so protected that are
the bad trusts that need controlling.
To he conservative" which is to do
nothing about curbing these bad trusts
is deserting the people by those who
have been entrusted with the power to
act. If the coming Congress would
abolish the tariff that protects them,
or even reduce il. the prices of trust
products that are protected would fall
accordingly. Such a reduction of the
profits of the trusts would be de-
cided advantage to the people, and
should therefore help instead Of BE-
ing disastrous to business"

New Way of Growing Tobacco.

A report of the Department of Ag-
riculture tells of an interesting and
profitable innovation in tobacco grow
ing in the Connecticut valley, says
Harper's Weekly. Last year, at the in
stigation Of the department, thirteen
Connecticut farmers put forty-one acres
Of land under shade and planted it, at
total expense Of S651 an acre. Most
Of this land was planted with Sumatra
tobacco. The department estimates
that the crop cost, baled and ready for
market. 511a cents pound. 1t
brought an average price of $1.2O a
pound. The yield of baled tobacco was
about LIZA pounds an acre, worth ST.
372,, leaving profit Of $715 an acre.
This sounds like pretty good farming,
and the department is proud Of the re-
suits of its suggestions. Ordinary out
of-doors Connecticut tobacco raised
without artificial shade brings about
20 cents a pound. The shade-grown
tobacco is used for wrappers for ci-
gars. The cigarmakers say it does
wonderfully well, and the next crop
promises to bring higher prices thar
the last.

Notwithstanding the fact that Wash.

that the national capital has about as
many of these pests as any sister city.
1t Is said that the conditions here

ton Of rodents. aud there are mer.
chants around the Center market who
are wilopg to make affidavit that there
are rats in that vicinity fully 20 years
old and which have escaped and
thwarted every known effort to ex
terminate them.
As is known. the rat probably has
more out-and-out enemies than any
other animal on earth. Its persecu-
tors, animate and inanimate, come in
the form Of poison. traps. cats, dogs
birds, ferrets and men. Some or all
Of these agencies are at work con-
stantly, and yet the Washington rat
thrives, wakes fat and raises n large
family. Rats are repulsive at best
and nearly everybody is afraid of
them. especially the great gray fellows
which seem to have taken possession
Of some parts Of the city. These mon.
ster rodents put up bold fight when
cornered, and they are sharp-tOothed
keen-eyed creatures.
The rat is by nature true gamin-
sharp. cunning and, when necessity

men and dogs alike. There is no ques

saulted. Large rats are often rem
dered bold through force of numbers
and hungry through enforced absti
nence.
And. too. the large gray rat is can
nibal; the male rat will not hesitate
when hungry to make a meal off his
young. This, however. he never does
without first having battle with the
mother rat, who always fights for her
babies. 1t is only the male rat which
Is given to cannibalism. A Louisiana
avenue commission man says that
about the fiercest battle he ever wit
messed between animals was n few
weeks ago when he saw an old gray
rat Lill young one. The mother rat
interfered and for fifteen minutes the
two rodents engaged in a combat
which for ferocity would rival almost

fought until weak and exhausted from
many wounds and then were dis
