1t Is Time to Act,

President Roosevelt's speech on the
trusts betrays a dawning conscious
ness that the time for platitudes has
passed, and the hour of practical ac-
ton arrived. He has got his antitrust
legislation, now what is he going to
do with it? The affair is in his own
hands. Hisnew bureau of corporations
can be rendered an efficient instrument
for securing publicity if he wishes to
make it such. On this subject he does
o tmake very bold promises. We must
be patient. Organization of the new
department will be necessarily slow,
and its first activities tentative. I'M
doubtedly; but what are we to say of
the presidents fiat declaration that
further legislation is "impracticable ?"
That is to discredit in advance the very
law of which he is Boosting, for an
essential part of it is its plan to gather
such information and data as will en-
able the president of the United States
to make recommendations to ongress
for the regulation of such
etc" Yet here is Mr.. Roosevelt prac-
tically notifying his commissioner of
corporations that he wants no such
information, and will make no use of Il
If he gets tn. Y. Post.

EMPLOYERS UNITING.
To Present a Solid Front Against
Organized Labor and send Lob
bies TO Congress-.

The leading editorial in the Iron
Age of April 9 is on Employers Asso-
Citations" 1t says:
The formation of employers assoc
Citations TO handle labor questions is
proceeding with greatrapidity. . . &.
The a~ggressions of organized labor
have become SO menacing TO the well
fare of communities and the nation
that with almost one accord the EN-
ployers of labor are seeking the coop
Grafton of their colleagues in opposing
organization with organization. D.. i.
These labor organizations overawe the
independent workmen in practically
every community and assume at all
times to be the sole representatives of
the rights of labor. Against this extra
governmental power which has sprung
up, and which bids fair to control by
threats, violence or the boycott all the
occupations requisite to the growth,
comfort, convenience or support of ev-
cry community, it has become abso-
lutely necessary to array another
strong, if not stronger, power, unless
the people of this country are willing
to see themselves subjected to a worse
tyranny than ever afflicted any of our
ancestors. As this is a matter which
appears to be impossible for the gov
eminent to regulate, the employers
are undertaking to accomplish the
task"
The Iron Age then mentions some
OF the leading employers associations
engaged in the same industry. such as
the stove Founders National Defense
association, National Founders asso-

Dor on this question is beyond compre-
hension. In most protected European
countries, where wages are low, it
never occurs to the protectionists to
try to make it acceptable to the work
ing people by telling them that tariff
on goods will increase wages. The
thing would appear too absurd. They
find other excuses and preteXts, or
perhaps the car just claps tariff taxes
onto the people, without saying by
your leave and without taking the
trouble to invent lying excuses and
sophistiCal arguments. He does not
need to stulify his reasoning powers.
He knows that the people will pay the
taxes and that certain men, none of
them working men, will share the pro-
eeeds with the government. He needs
his share and DEGREES protection
that's all.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The total exports from China to
this country in 1902 amounted to $27,-
1928 in gold. Of this amount $14,-
610,524 came from Shanghai.
So many people-more than for 25
years past-are leaving Edinburgh
for Canada and South Africa that
house renting is affected.
A number of persons in Paris are
trying to raise funds for a monu-
ment to the carrier pigeons used dur
ing the siege of that city in 1901.
The art of dwarfing trees is part
OF the education of the Japanese
upper classes. Many persons devote
as much time to it as our women do
to music.
DR.. Dawson Burns estimates that
the British drink bill for 1902 was
6 179, 400, S17, a decrease of about two
and one-quarter millions, compared
with 1901.
Cuba's two principal export woods
are mahogany and cedar. Good ma
hogany lands may still be bought on
the south coast at a low figure, but
the price is steadily advancing.
To kill, scald, clean and halve a
full-grown pig in seven minutes five
seconds, which has been accomplished
by a Kings Lynn, England, butcher,
is asserted to be a record.
In London, as in New York and
ether big cities, small buildings are
being rapidly pulled down and re-
placed by tall ones. In 1895 there
were 10,327 rated houses in London;
in 1902 there were only 6,261.
In 1902 no fewer than 4O,401 pyr-
cons emigrated from Ireland, all of
whom, except 211, were natives.
Since 1851 nearly 100000 have left
their Irish homes for the colonies or
United States.
While Prussia had hardly any snow
last winter, Russia had an exception
ally severe winter. Hundreds of lives
were lost, and it was no unusual
thing for sleighs to arrive at villages
with the inmates frozen stiff.

GEMS IN POROUS PLASTER.
Novel Hiding-Place chosen by a
Smuggler for COnceaLing
Precious Stones.

Recently the detective department
Of the United States customs at Bos-
ton received information from the
other side that a man of certain de-
scription had sailed on one of the
Cunarders for Boston; that he had
a steamer trunk and a grip of I'M
usual construction for luggage. The
trunk was reported to be innocent
and ordinary, but keep your eye on
the grip and on the man." were the
special instructions, states the San
Francisco Argonaut.
In due season the Cunarder arrived
with the man and the luggage as de-
scribed. Asked to declare his belong
ings, he refused, falling back on the
favorite excuse that he didn't know
what he had that was dutiable or the
value of the things he had, and hence
would not make a sworn declaration
OF value. The officers were at lib
erty to search his boxes and make
their own conclusions.
The steamer trunk contained moth
ing dutiable, neither did the curious
rly constructed valise. 1t had a false
bottom and a hollow handle and, in
addition, the brass buttons that are
placed at the corner of the bottom
of travelling bags to stand them on
were screwed in and covered shallow
holes in which jewels might easily be
placed and concealed. But in these
handy hiding places nothing could be
found and the officers were becoming
desperate and chagrined. Finally
came the last resort in customs ex-
animation; the victim of suspicion
was asked to disrobe, and on doing
SO under protest and profanity and
evident confusion, a big porous plas-
ter was discovered between his shout
ders and was ordered removed, when
the jewels were found lodged behind
the plaster. They correspondent x
actly in number and description to
the list sent over by the European de-
tectives and were confiscated. Re-
fusal to make any declaration, how
ever, absolved the smuggler from
criminal prosecution and he was let
GO.
On taking the captured jewels to
an expert they were found to be
paste limitations, but later inquiry on
the part of the detectives revealed
the fact that the genuine treasures
had come into the country and had
been sold. In what way accomplished
was not known.

PRESIDENT MISTAKEN
Labor Leaders Say "A Tax on Goods
Is Not a Protection to the


President Roosevelt said, in his
speech at Sioux Falls on April 6, that
'the national government has but a
small field in which it can work in la
Dor matters" The truth of this state
ment is challenged by several labor
leaders, who assert, in the language of
Mr.. John W. Hayes, president Of the
Knights of Labor, that, "the field is
infinite. The national congress could
be kept much buster dealing with la
Dor matters and enacting labor laws
of a national scope than with all it's
dealings with capital"
The most interesting part of Mr..
Hayes interview on this subject is the
following: 81 might mention the i'm
migration laws. There should be a
protective tariff law against the i'm
portation of cheap labor. We tax the
articles hat these men make while
living in their foreign homes; but they
can come to this country and work just
as cheaply, placing their goods on the
market free of duty and drive our pro-
ducers into a continued poverty. Why
not have a tariff on the men as well
as on the stuff they make?"
This most important point appears
not to have occurred to most labor
men. If they understood it they would
certainly not vote for the one-sided
protection advocated by the republic
an party. Such protection, instead of
benefiting labor, increases the prices
of manufactured goods and the cost Of
living and. therefore. actually lowers
real wages. But it Injuries labor in an
other way, Because most protected
industries charge higher prices than
they could charge, if unprotected,
there is diminished consumption of
these products. This means diminished
production, fewer hands employed and,
therefore, reduced wages-for wages
are fixed by the law of supply and de-
mand in the protected as in the unpro.
tected industries.
