ons Of Them Gives Reasons for
Recent Happenings

Il is said when poisonous reptiles
find themselves ir danger Of harm
or death at the hands of superior
foe, they recoil and strike their
venomous fangs into their OWL body
The Dispatch recently by inuendo
would try to have its readers believe
that one Horace Kipp had accom-
plished his ayowed purpose TO make
Milford republican, because Of the
fact that several democratic mem.
bers Of the borough council voted
for him as secretary Of the borough
against the candidate and son-in-law
of the democratic boss. Ye Dispatch
editor and his little gang ought TO
begin to discover that there Is a
decided majority Of democrats IN
Milford (and elsewherein thecounty)
that do not blindly follow his and
their dictation, but who are none
the less true democrats, and who
cannot be swayed in their devotion
to those principles because of the
perversion of them by a minor
corrupt clique which prssumes to
threaten the party whip against all
whose actions do not aim to aid
their nefarious schemes.
The interests Of the taxpayers
should have some weight with their
governing bodies as we'll as the
schemes in party politics. Mr.. Kipp
had before the board a proposition
to fill the Office Of secretary for $50
per year, Mr.. Schorr had a similar
proposition except that his services
should be worth s1O more, or 500
per year, as no one appears to
question the ability of Mr.. Kipp to
Ill the position as we'll as Mr.. County
Surveyor, Justice of the Peace,
Auditor, Sehorr, is it but justice to
the taxpayers to save the $40 and
get the work done where it could be
bad the oheapestP
Economy in public Office does not
in all cases appear to be the watch
word of Mr.. Terwilliger. His efforts
in behalf of a higher percentage for
the county treasurer is an evidence
of his care for the moneys of the
taxpayer. His inconsistency is
shown, however, when he allows
his own brother-in-Iaw to be again
appointed treasurer Of the borough
and makes no effort to have his
commissions made at least equal &c
those of Treasurer Swepeniser.
No, no, Mr.. Terwilliger, we demo,
Gratis of the town council, who
voted TO defeat small politica-
intrigue, did SO not because we were
not democrats, but because we wer,
better democrats. A DEMOCRAT.

The argument against tariffrevisiOn
made by Secretary Shaw is a forceful
one. He says that "the employer Of
labor may be so short-sighted as to
believe that a period of low wages
would be To his advantage because he
would be thus able to place his
product on the market at less cost.
Or he may be 50 far-sighted as to
know that high wages will increase
the eonsumptive capacity of those
whose needs he supplies and will
therefore iinprovs his market" He
further says that the democratic
party has always appealed to the
consumer with the cry of cheap mar
kets, which would mean low wages,
the republican party has stood for
high wages end high prices The
republican policy has invariably re-
suited in prolonged periods of pros
perity, the democratic policy in ex-
tended periods Of depression. Mr..
Shaw says that his speech in the west
was received with manifest approval
and he has no fear Of the result Of the
next election.

The Hon. Wayne MacVeagh has
been selected as the representative of
the United States before the Hague
Tribunal in the Venezuelan dispute.
The appointment of statesman of
Mr.. MacVeagh's wide experience
and notable qualities indicates that
the United States expects to take
prominent part in these deliberations.
The main question, it is presumed, is
over the claim that England, Germany
and Italy by virtue of bulldozing and
bombardment have established a
claim of preference over other Vene-
zuelan creditors who contended them
selves with peaceful coercive measures.
1t is well known fact that invest
ments made in Central and South
American republics are long risks
and excessive rates of interest and
profit are demanded. European
interests investing in Venezuela have
practically assumed the role OF note
shavers and nothing less, accepting
such security as Venezuela was able
to offer. It is now question whether
the European powers can with pro-
priety come down and exact full pay
ment, interest and principle several
times over, the same as though
investments had been made upon a
six per cent basis. When note and
pawnbrokers in our own country who
lend money at usurious rates on
insufficient security are bitten. The
recital of their disappointment greed
simply evokes the remark "good
enough for him."

The remarkable growth of the ex-
port of manufactured articles by the
United States is clearly shown by
figures issued today by the treasury
department. In 1890 the expectation
of manufacturers amounted to 81, ,249-
SAT. In 1902 they amounted to
$4O3, GAL, ,4Ol. In 1890 they formed
practically per cent of the total
exports, in 1902 approximately 80
per cent of the total exports. The
growth in this direction is especially
marked sincs 1895 since which time
the increase has been 220 millions.

The postofice department investi-
cation, announced In these letters a
week ago, lie still progressing and it is
now evident that great saving in the
expenses Of the department will be
effected as a result. 1t is not unlikely
that it will be necessary to make
material changes in the personnel of
the department and the president and
the postmaster general will not hesi-
tate to demand such designations as
they believe will promote the welfare
of the service. Since the investiga-
tion began, Perry s. Heath, ex-
assistant postmaster general has been
in Washington to protest against the
investigation and urge the president
to spare Mr.. Heath's proteges and
James 8. Clarkson, secretary of the
republican national committee came
to Washington to protest against the
injury Of any employees who had
strong political influence, but the
president has refused to listen to any
protest and will ''hew to the line'
regardless Of political consequences.
Since the investigation began, hun
dreds Of letters have been received
from local postmasters furnishing
evidenceofreckless extravagance and,
in numerous instances, Of extortion.

Representative Babcock Of Wiscon-
sin, chairman of the republican
congressional committee, has taken
issue with the tariff policy Of the
president and the members Of the
cabinet and declares in unequivocal
terms that the republican party is
pledged to tariff revision by the tifty-
eighth congress. Mr.. Babcock, speak
Ing to your correspondent, said that
he regarded as wholly unwarnnted
the apprehension Of hard times as a
result Of a revision Of the tariff by
the republican party. Democratic
revision would, Of course, ruin the
financial prosperity Of the country
because it was clearly understood that
such revision was undertaken with d
free trade object in view. Republican
revision, on the contrary, would bs
undertaken with the policy Of pro
tection always in sight and would mol
therefore seriously disturb the pros
porous condition the country Is now
enjoying. Mr>Babeock says that IN
the last campaign the republicans
lost many republican cities becaus'
the cost Of living had increased out o
all proportion to the income o
saiaried employees. This was not th'
ease IN The couniry districts becausl

Of crops the condition would become
universal and nothing but disaster to
the republican party could result.
Mr.. B8bcOck maintains that 80 per
cent Of the American people are pro-
tectiOnists and want a protective
tariff but that means duty of
sufficient amount merely, to comp
ensate the employer for the increased
price he has to pay for labor. All
over that is extortion and tends to
create monopoly. He cites the case

ed to take from the pockets of the

view to devising a system whereby
the silver using countries Of the

fiuctuation which has menaced the
financial system Of every silver using
country during the past few years.
Mr.. Conant stopped in Washington

suited with Secretaries Root and

outlined, the proposed plan conforms
closely to that adopted by the United
States in the Philippines. The war
department is making rapid progress
in preparation of the new Philippine
silver currency, three million pesos
Of which were authorized by congress
and il is expected the coins will be
ready for shipment at an early date.
La the meantime, the question of
assessing an almost prOhlDitOry tariff

considered.
