Labor coming in free to compete

construed as to force labor into the

Quinine Drives Soldiers Insane.

You would be surprised to know the
principal causes of insanity among
the troops in the Philippines, says an
army surgeon who has just returned
from Manila. 1T can be attributed
largely to inconsistencies and too much
quinine. When a soldier becomes tired
and worn out from hard campaigning
he begins to think of home and
mother, and the idea grows on him so
he soon has a bad case of nostalgia.
At first we had a good deal of trouble
with quinine. A soldier would get
malaria, and the first thing we knew
he was taking so or 30 grains of q~uinine
a day, as he had free access to theidrt.g
where It was kept in a key in the mess
tent. To persons who have never
lived in tropical countries it seems in
credible a man could take SO much
q%uinine and live. 1t had the effect, Of
making those who committed the ex-
cesses insane, but after we found out
to what extent the practice had grown
we stopped the free use Of it, and the
trouble has decreased IN. ". Press.

The president admits that some

THE PROTECTED N
Some Interesting Results of "a Close
study of the Tariff
Question.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has been tigur.
ing on the tariff question, and has
given the result in the Quarterly jour
nal of Economics. His conclusions are
interesting, and he gives tariff data to
justify them.
In 1901 there were 29,074,11 persons
engaged in gainful pursuits in the
United States. Of these, according to
Mr.. Atkinson, there are 26,O77. S22 who
are not subject to foreign competition
and not affected by the tariff except
that they pay enhanced prices caused
by protection. There is a second class
not subject to foreign competition, but
whose industries would be promoted
by the removal of duties, and these
number 1896, 295. Of those who might
be disastrously affected by the sudden
removal of all duties whatever there
are 100000. Of these some 200. 600 are
engaged in agricultural pursuits, and
yet a majority of the farmers of the
country are somehow made to believe
that their prosperity is wholly depend
ent upon the existence of a protective
tariff.
As nobody proposes to dispense with
all the duties at once, it is not at all
apparent that even two-thirds of a mil
lion of people out of more than 10000.
900 would be in the least hurt by a re-
duction of the tariff to a revenue basis,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
In other words, the present high level
of tariff rates is maintained bya gigan-
tic confidence game of which the ma
jority of the people are unconscious
victims. tt is now up to the minions of
monopoly to do some figuring.

think that the Statesman was oppOs-

ed that the directors should comply

Ankeny bank is the only taxpayer of
the city that has questioned the legal
ity of the o-mill school tax by a suit
in Judge Hanford's court. In the face
of this refusal to pay its share of the

Washington. D. c., July 3.-That

several members of the diplomatic

Since President ROOseveltS return

and the twin cities, but was called
back to Washington to sign the final
protocols and several things have in
terfered since then, SO he will have
only about month for his entire trip.
In this time, however, he expects to
visit the Italian cOnsulates at Chi
cago, Butte, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, and will decide upon the To-
cation of several additional consul
lates in other western cities, notably
on Puget sound.
The new Chinese minister will also
visit the Pacific coast and intermedi-
ate points this year.
Some idea of how much attention
foreign governments are paying to
American business conditions is evil
dent from the care in which American
papers at each embassy are clipped
on large variety of subjects and the
clippings mailed across. The in
crease Of work at the German embas-
sy has neceSSitated an addition to the
clerical force which now exceeds that

but the question at issue is one of

BLANDFORD CONVICTS HUNT.

With its usual ObtuSeness the Union
misses the vital point entirely in dis

Mayor Hunt is not blamed for settling
the suit brought against the city, but

being responsible for the infringe

stubbornness costing the city over
500 Nobody disputes the fact that
City Attorney Blandford and w. H.

was sure to lose and the settlement
was right and proper.
However, the responsibility for the
infringement of the patent is a differ
has attempted to make Contractor
Morley the scapegoat for this mex
cusable blunder. Attorney BlandfOrd
under pressure has also Joined in
throwing the blame on WOrley, but
in his communication to the morning
paper of yesterday is a statement that
shows that Mayor Hunt alone was re-
sponsible for the infringement of the
Allen patent. Not only were the pat
ent fasteners made at his shop, but
the mayor drew up the specifications
that were followed in the construc-
ton of the f1ume. Mr.. Blandford
says: Mayor Hunt had dictated the
specifications for the pipe from his
stave pipe should be, he having built
one in Vermont more than twenty
three years before, and he did not be-
lieve there had been any infringe
ment of any patent
1t is plain from this statement that
Contractor Worley followed to the let
ter the instructions of Mayor Hunt in
building the fiume and that the mayor,
and not WOrley. was responsible for
the infringement OF the patent. Be-
cause Mr.. Hunt had used what he re-
garded as the same device in Yer
mont twenty-three years before he
was cock sure that Mr. Allen was
only bluffing about having a patent on
the connection for wooden stave pipe,
and Worley was told to go ahead and
use the Device which the mayor took
the responsibility of manufacturing
in his shop.
Mr.. BlandfOrd's statement does
nothing more than take upon him
self the responsibility for proposing
a compromise of Mr.. Aliens suit, and
nobody had found any fault with the
settlement that was effected. But on
the vital point of who was responsible
for the infringement Of the Allen pat
ent at a cost of over 500 to the city,

1t was not a case of necessity that
the little iron bands and the little iron
rods that were used in the construc-
ton of the Worley fume at cost of
over five hundred dollars should be
made by Mayor Hunts foundry.

ton few days ago, when arguing
against the validity of the Allen pat

that they could have been made by
any blacksmith in the city But as
