TARIFF SUPERSTITION

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, as result ol d
series of calculations printed in the
Ouartcly Journal of Economics, ha'
distributed the population OF the nlted
States into three groups differently al
iacted hy the tariff SAYS the Philadel-
phia Pubic Ledger. There are accord
ing to Mr.. Atknson's figures, 29,o'4, III
ner sons in the country who are engaged
in eanful pursuits these furnish the
basis of the calculation. OF these, about

the withdrawal Of all existing duties.
second cas-, comprised OF those whose
business would be benefited by the re-
moyal OF duties, numbers 1856, 29o. The
vast remainder OF the earning popuia'
ton, numbering 20, OF ,S22, would be al
f cted neither one way nor the other by
the wiping out OF all tariff duties; but
these, as well a. the members OF the
other two classes, would under reve'
nue. tariff, be able to buy the necessities
and luxuries OF life at reduced prices.
The situation probably does not allow
itself to be reduced to figures whose
perfect accuracy can be claimed, but II
Mr.. Atkinson,s calculations approach
truthful representation of the actual
facts, they ought to help bring home to
many minds the almost incredible
IN agnitudc OF the tariff fallacy and the
enormity of the alteration by which it
keeps its hold upon the Imagination OF
the country. N the light OF the esti-
mate that where singlesperson is bene-
fitted in business by the tariff four per-
sons are injured and SO are compelled to
pay enhanced prices for what they and
those dependent upon them consume, the
widespread belief that prosperity de.
ponds upon leaving the customs sched
ules untouched becomes phenomenon
to be compared only with some OF the
gigantic decisions of history. This feel
ing, which is deep ard even passionate
and diffused through all classes, is not
I, 4 Al. al g
spi,acy; it is monumental infatuation,
a.monstrous superstition. which psychol-
ogists OF the future will study as they
now do the witchrait delusiop, the
dancing mania and other great waves OF
hallucination Il st prevailed over whole
lands and peop.es in the Middle Ages.
The tariff has an intimate relation
with the pros .rrity Of the country,
chiefly because Of the senstivent SIS OF
business. Sound commercial instinct
will prevent the unnecessary, frequent
and violent alterations Of the schedules :
but advisable alteratons-however plain
in their intent t. relieve the people from
burdensome taxes and to withdraw pub
lie subsidies from vast industries and
premiums from trusts-made in a spirit
OF regard for legitimate business inter
ests, would create no conditions to which
the country could not readily adjust ii.

it is utterly alb. urd to make fetch OF it

TWO VIEWS.

While the recent congress was in SEES
sion. there was meeting Of the Amerl-
can Protective Tariff League in New
York. Certain resolutions were adopted
and mailed al over the country. One
of these went to Representative II. II.
Alpin, of Michigan, then at Washington,
and in reply he said, among other things,
"Your position is sound and practicable
and the only ground upon which protec-
ton can stand. When one people in.
tercsted commence to pull OUT the small
stones that interfere with their own
vel. doing, they may expect to soon see
the Building tumble. We must stand
for the whole, or fall when divided"
The stand OF the Michigan gentlemen is
that it is dangerous to begin tinkering
with the schedules; that the tariff wall
must be retained as whole and in its
entirety that changes must not be made
in one direction or another for fear the
wnole structure will fall.
In his speech at Minneapolis, on his
recent visit, President Roosevelt said
Our aim should be to preserve the
policy OF a protective tariff, in which
and yet wherever and whenever necess
airy to change the duties in particular
paragraphs or schedules as matters OF
legislative detail, if such change is de.
manded by the interests of the nation as
a whole"
These two views of two men, both
OF whom believe in the principle
OF protection, are somewhat at vari.
ance with each other. One believes
that the tariff 81 ould not be changed
the other that frequent changes should
be made to suit the times and crcum.
stances. A man who changed his mind
frequently was once accused of being in.
consistent. He replied that he could not
be consistent unless he did change his
mind. The point OF expediency changes.
There is no call for a revision of the ten
commandments. They will stand for all
time. The moral law was not framed
by man. Even the old blue laws of New
England are somewhat drastic and will
admit OF changes.
But tariff law, however just and
equitable it may have been at the time
it became law, is never so sound but
that changing circumstances necessitate
alterations. Man is not infallible, and
he can never originate laws that will
stand for all time. At the time of
Napoleon there We're certain tactical
rules for the conduct of war. He won
battles by violating those rules. To be
servicable, tariff law must be changed
at frequent intervals, but this does not
mean change in the ia, if policy. That
a provision OF the tariff becomes useless
as protection to an industry does not
mean that it should be changed. 1t
may still be revenue producer.

HE WILL RESIGN SOON
Supt. Hatfield VIII Quit at Next
Meeting Of the Board
1t Is Reported Pr'.f. Evans Will APP.
ply Sor the Position
at Once.
GAY BE OTHER APPLICANTS

II j. rr5ors,'ood ~, oaa5 =, Sorit
that Superintendent q. y Hatfe,.
Of the public schools, will tender his
resignation to the board of education
at its next meeting the first Tuesday
in December, which will be December
1.
The rumored resignation is being
talked Of by both members of the pres
ent board and by membe Of the new
board who have been approached by
friends of prospective candidates for
the position to succeed Superintendent
Hatfield.
Superintendent Hatfield, it will be
remembered, had disogreesble time
last spring when charges were prefer
red against him by former teaoners in
the schools but he was exonerated and
reelected by the present board Of ed
ucation.
In the Democratic primary in Sep
ten'bor the issue in the race for school
trustees was whether 10 retain Super.
iutendent Hatfield or not, and the anti
Hatfield candidates were nominated
by the Democrats.
In November the anti-Hatfield can
didates thus nominated were elected,
and will 60 into Office next month and
it is supposed that as the relations be.
tween the board and superintendent
might possibly be strained until the
end OF the term in June, Superinten-
dent Hatfield has decided to resign.
1t is understood that Prof Charles
Evans, of Marion, president OF the
First district educational association,
is candidate to succeed Superinten-
dent Hatfield and Prof. c. A. Norvel,
of the city, may also be one. There
may be others before the board chooses
Superintendent Hatfeld's successor.
IL is supposed that the new board will
be permitted to elect the new superin-
tendent, should Superintendent Hat
fields resignation be accepted.

MYSTi RIOUS FIND.
GOLD GROWN WITH TWO TEETH
PICKED UP IN A FIELD.

Mr.. d. 3. Jeffries, a prominent
merchant Of Collisrsville, this county,
came TO the cisy this morning with
gold crown ana two teeth picked up
i'm a field on the Moore farm near Col
liersyillo by Mr.. John Weitlait, who
was hunting,
Those in the country who inspected
the find thought it must be some relic
of ancient times, but when shown
to dentist here today 10 said it was
modern work, and did not seem to
have been worn much. There is con-
siderable pare gold moulded around
the two teeth, and one side shows
where it was troken of.
Tho question now arises how tho
crown came to be in the field. It
seems impossible that the wesrer
could have broken il Off snd lost it,
and it is believed that skeleton nay
DO found somewhere in the vicinity,
ana search will probably now DO
made for il.

It Is startling to think that, while almost any tradesman's shop that might be burned down is covered by insurance, the British museum, if it were burned down tomorrow, would not cost the insurance companies one half-pennny. Neither would the houses of parliament. They stand for three millions sterling, but not one single sovereign of this vast sum is covered by insurance. Three thousand pounds a year is spent on a force of police and firemen to protect the houses of parliament by day and night, and the British museum pays the rent of a fireman's house in Coram street, but that is the full cost of the precau- tions against fire in these places. The British museum, believing that preven- tion Is better than cure, has no artifi- cial light on it's innermost recesses.- St. James Gazette.
