That by virtue of the protection af-
iorded them by the Dngley Tariff Act,
the Steel Trust has been able annually
to exact from the American people a
tax Of one dollar aud twenty-eight and
a quarter cents per capita, is a fact
made clear by Mr.. John R. Dunlap,
editor of the Engineering Magazine
Ia a signed article in the New York
Evening Post:
He showed that bar iron which sold
in England for $50 was only purehas-
able in this country for s4s.1O not
outstanding that the tariff was slS "A
Going through the scale on all the
articles necessary to the manufacture
OF tin plate and showing a correspond
ing increase in cost of America over
that in England, Mr.. Dunlay observes:
''In the light of this enormous profit
upon every ton Of material used in
making the plate it is not difficult to
see how a few men have made millions
through the TIN plate trust.
In his article Mr.. Dunlap shows that
the profits Of the Steel Trust in The
years 1902 and 1908, which he
characterIzes as banner years for rail-
roads, we're greatly in excess of the
combined profits of the Pennsylvania,
New York Central, aud Baltimore and
Ohio railroads. Commenting on this
the writer says: The obvious ex-
plaNation of the fabulous profits is to
be- found in the needless Dlngley duties. -
Commenting on the Steel Trust
exacting S26 per ton from domestic
railroads while selling the same goods
to foreign roads for S22 per ton, Mr..
Dunlap quotes from a letter written by
Charles M. Schwab at the time he was
president of the Steel Trust, to Henry
G. Frlck, Chairman Of the Carnegie
Steel Company, IN which Mr.. Sohwab
says: "What Is tue of rails Is exactly
true of other steel products. You know
we can make rails for less than S12
per ton, leaving a nice margin on foreign
business"
Concluding his article Mr.. Dunlap
exclalms, "Verily, the tariff is the
mother of trusts'-as Havemeyer ha,
boldly and bluntly confessed from tn
witness stand"

A Friend Of the Republic.

Carl Schurz contributes an article t.
the October McClure's that has pecul
lar timeliness and significance. 1t is .
sketch of "George William Curtis, -
well given the editorial subtitle
OF "Friend OF the Republic" MI.
Schurz finds the life and work of his
subject an aspiration to good citizen
ship and wholesome living, and he
reads the lessons they impart clearly
and alphabetically.
The larger part of Mr.. Scburz's dis
cussion concerns Mr.. Curus's semi
public record as an editor and a poll
tieisn. OF him in this connection he
says; GAS be was the ideal party
man and the ideal independent, so he
might we'll have been called the finest
type of the American gentlemen"
OF the personality of the man, Mr..
Schurz sums up his comment as
follows:
ellis exquisite refinement of taste
and manner has not the slightest tiuge
of affectaiiou or supercillousness
He was a distinguished mar in the
most distinguished society. 49,. When
we think Of the men whom we would
point out as mUdels to our youth at
home, Of whom we would like to
have looked upon as representative
American gentleman by the world
abroad, George William Curtis will
surely be selected as one of the first"

Pride of The Missouri Press.

Six years ago the Press Of Missouri
in annual meeting assembled voted to
establish a depository for Missouri
literature to be known as Missouri
State Historical Society Library and
chose Columbia as its location because
there it could he used by students of
the State University. The subsequent
growth OF this library is a tribute OF
that vast body Of men who make the
public sentiment OF our state. Through
their efforts the library was recognized
by the Forthieth General Assembly as
one Of the States institutions and an
appropriation made for its support.
But greater " than this is the work
these founders have done In bringing
together more rapidly than the Golden
touch OF a Carnegie a vast collection Of
M ssouri literature. Today the library
contains, besides a collection of Mis-
souri, books and newspapers the equal
of any IN the state, the most extensive
list OF Missouri official publications to
be found anywhere on the American
continent. The phenomenal growth
OF this library under the fostering care
OF the Press may %pardonably be q
source OF pride to every Missouri editor.

Commissioners So Decide After
Lengthy Deliberations and
Investigation of Sites
SAVE INTEREST ON THE MONEY
Owners Who Wish to Dispose of Pros
pective Park Sites Want Too Much
Money For the Land at Present
Could Get But Little Use Of New
Park This Year Even If Built.

Chairman Charles r. LaPlant and
of the board of park commissioners,
have decided that they viii make no
selection OF Site for the uses of a
public park until next spring. The
canslusion has not been reached hastily
but after careful and mature delibera-
ton, and thorough investigation of
the sites proposed, or upon which the
board decided to center Tor a choice.
The cause for the postponment of
action this year is that it is so late in
the season that should the site be
chosen and work commenced. the pub
lie could get but little benefit from the
grounds before cold weather would set
in. The commissioners consider that
there would not be more than two
months that the park could be used,
and possibly not that long a time. Inc
board also looks at the financial end
of the arrangement. for by postponins'

The board had decided. a few weeks
ago upon three sites that We're consider
ed feasible. Many others were invesu-
gated but only the three were consider
ed desirable. 1t had been expected to
decide definitely upon one this year, but
when the commissioners came to
point OF closing for the land it was
found that prices for each parcel were
little too excessive. 1t is believed
that by next spring there may possibly
be other sites proposed. and that the
public will be better off in the long
run If the action is postponed. The
commissioners do not believe IN acting
too hastily, for the park. when once es-
tablished, will be for lifetime. and

FOOD FACTS.
What an M. o. Learned.

went thru a food experience which he
makes public
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-N Nuts food
and also know from having prescribed
it to convalescents and other weak pa
builder and restorer of nerve and brain
tissue, as well as muscle. 1t improves
the digestion and sick patients always
gain, just as l did, in strength and
weight very rapidly.
Il was in such low state that / had
to give up my work entirely and so TO
the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact, | was not quite as well as when
left home. My food absolutely refused
to sustain me, and it became plain that
| must change, then l began to use
Grape Nuts food, and in two weeks |
could walk a mile without the least
fatigue. and in five weeks returned to
my home and practice, taking up hard
work again. Since that time / have
felt as we'll and strong as l ever did in
my life.
