WAGES AND TARIFF.
A Dilemma for prOtectlonlsts.

Great interest has been manifested
throughout the country in an extreme
ly able dissection of the relation be-
tween the Protective Tariff and the
wages of labor, made by Mr.. Isaac w
Griscom, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mr..
GrisCom maintains that "the allega-
ton that either the general wage rate
Of the nation or the producing power
of the wage is increased by any con-
ceivable system OF taxation is alb
surb. E. . The idea that the wealth
produced by the labor of the nation
can be increased by the taxation OF
American consumers is simply prepos-
terous."
In support of his contention, Mr..
GrisCom denies a dilemma which he
offers to supporters OF the protection
theory:
What we need to know is: Whether
the protective tariff is supposed to be
the cause of the high wage of Ameri-
can labor; or whether the high wage
of American labor is the cause of the
protective tariff being demanded by
the American employer. Obviously
the two horns OF this dilemma are
antagonistic. If the American wage
rate is so high thai the employer can
not afford to pay it without the help
of the tariff, it is obvious that the en-
ployer demands the tariff to protect
himself from the American wage rate,
and that the touching anxiety in re-
gard to protecting American laLNr
from the pauper labor of Europe is
entirely uncalled for.
IF the high wage is the cause of the
tariff being needed by the employer,
it is plain that. the high wage has an
existence independent Of the tariff, and
that American labor is protected from
the pauper labor OF Europe by some
thing other than the tariff. But il, on
the other hand, it is contender that
the tariff makes the wage rate so high
that the employer cannot afford to pay
it, it is plain that the disability of the
employer is caused by the tariff, and
his difficulties must increase with in
crease of the tariff, anu his only hope
of being able to pay the wage rate is
in the abolition of the tariff

money and with 81 DilI purchased a
round trip ticket from Canton to Salem

DAIRY and FOOD
INSPECTOR SHAFER IN CANTON
THURsDAY-DIsCUSslNG THE
LAWS RELATING TO DE.
PARTMENT.

c. NJ. Shafer, of Canal Fulton, chief
inspector of the state dairy and food
department of the state, was in Canton
yesterday in the line of duty. Mr..
Shafer stated that under the revised
laws 1t was much easier to secure con-
victions than under the old statutes.
One stumbling block heretofore had
been justices juries, which hardly
ever convicted person charged with
scme violations of the law, but the
department had the law so amendeded
that there could not be jury trial
before justice and since that time
convictions were more easily secured.
In discussing the fining of the man
Leyde of near Oneida for selling dis
eased meat, he said that 1t was the
part Of wisdom for the mayor to dis
pose of II instead of turning 1t over to
the department, as the fine went to
the city as it is now, while IL 1t had
been turned over the city would have
received nothing but the costs.

fare of Harvard and was an over.
seer of that institution from 1874 to
1880 and was reelected to the position
in 1896. He also served as president
of the Harvard Alumni association.
The distinction in which he took the
greatest pride was the degree of l.. l..
d. conferred upon him by Harvard.
Matters historical always engrossed
Mr.. Hoar's attention and to secure
the opportunity to develop his taste
in that direction he became a member
and afterward president of the Ameri.
can Historical association. president
of the American Antiquarian society,
trustee of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology, Regent of the Smithson-

Historic Genealogical society, the Vir-
ginia Historical society, the Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences and a
trustee of the Peabody fund Besides
Harvard, William and Mary, Yale and

of Doctor of Laws.
All his life long Mr.. Hoar was noted
for his independence of mind and the

Joined the movement for the organiza-
tion of the Republican party. In this
as in all things else he exhibited an
energy that could not fail of producing
success. OF recent years he had not
been in accord with the foreign pol
icy of the Republican administration
and he fought hard for his convictions
in the senate and from the public
platform.
The taking over of the Philippine
Islands by the United States govern
ment was strongly opposed by Senator
Hoar and he voted against the ratif-
cation of the treaty of peac1 with
Spain. The enlargement of the army
was as ardently opposed by him, for
he believed that it would serve ire
vocably to commit the government TO
Imperialism.
In opposing the army bill in the
senate, he made one of the most elo-
quent speeches ever heard in that
chamber. Senator Hoar also opposed
President Roosevelt's policy in the
Panama matter and the antitrust bill
which he introduced will long be
yividly remembered.
The senator's collection of historical
pamphlets is believed to be the larg-
est Of private ownership in America.
His library was fine one and he spent
many years in its assembling.
Mr.. Hoar's personality was ever
pleasing and he was genial under all
circumstances. His long public SER

Lawyer, Representative Senator, Statesman and
Distinguished Politician, Dead After a Long
Illness Honorable Career Ended
AN OPPONENT OF IMPERIALISM

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 30.-United
States Senator George Frisbie Hoal
died at 1885 o'clock this morning. The
end was peaceful, the senator's life
ebbing slowly away. He had been un.
conscious for nearly three days and
there was hardly flicker of the dying
ilame as the moment of the last heart
beat approached. The physicians, who
had been steadily at his bedside from
the day when his illness took serious
turn, were the only ones who noticed
the change from life to death as the
senator had been lying motionless, his
eyes closed and his features in the
cOmpOsure OF deep slumDer, for MANI
hours preceding the end.
Death was indirectly due to a
heavy cold, followed by an attack OF
the grippe, the results of which be-
came manifest in extreme weakness,
The great age of the patient made re.
coyery doubtful from the very start
and when, nearly four weeks ago, he
became bed-ridden, his family as well
as his physicians realized that the
end was only a question of a few
weeks.
General lockwood Hoar, the sena-
tors son, and other members of the
'amily were present when the end
came.
SO soon as it became known that
the senator had passed away, the bells
If all the churches in the town and in

news over the countryside.

CHARGED WITH
COUNTERFE|T|NG
ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Claimed to Be Implicated In a Gigan-
tic Scheme to Defraud
the Public.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 29.-Charles A.
Manson, superintendent of the South
crn Engraving company of this city
and assistant superintendent of the
Wesleyan Methodist Sunday school,
was arrested today by Captain ]. M.
Wright of the United States secret SER
vice charged with being connected with
stupendous counterfeiting scheme
which has already involved Will A.
Whine and p. S. Coffee, of Upson coun-
ty, said to be the originators of the
scheme J. N. Little, a tinsmith and
Clarence Rebb and Oscar McMichael,
local pressmen of the Lahatte Print
ing company.
The government will attempt to
show that Manson assisted in the maxi
ing of plates on which charge Whine
is now being held awaiting trial. This
couLterfeiting scheme is one of the
largest ever unearthed in the country
and was brought to light last month
when $4,000 in $40 greenbacks was
found hidden with copper plates. This
was followed by the arrest of the
above named men who confessed.
Manson is very prominent and his
arrest has created a sensation. He re-
fuses to talk but says he will prove
his innocence in court.

Silt, Prussia, Sept. 29.-The report is

of cutting down the naval program in
view of the criticisms levelled at the
government for making no attempt to
reduce the national deficit.
1t is semi-officially suggested that
this course will be justified by the
changing of the balance of sea power
brought about by the destruction Of the
