Legends Of Ossetinians.

In the highest parts of the Caucasus
Mountains, around the Kasbeek region.
there is tribe. very tall and hand

dialect of the Georgian language, and
has its own peculiar customs, differing
in many ways from those of the
Tscherkesses, Armenians. Circassians
and other tribes that dwell in the same
country 1t is the tribe of tue Os-
setinians.
Like the rest of the Caucasus tribes,
they have recognized Russia's author
ity. But they adhere to the claim
that they are not descended from Ash
attic races, like other tribes, but that
their ancestors Wore German knights
who had gone TO the crusades, and
who. after the disastrous end of the
last crus lde, had been driven into the
wild valleys of the Caucasus, whence
it was impossible for them to win their
way out and hOmeward, owing to the
vigilance of the Moslem foe. So at
last they settled down and took wives
among the Caucasus Mountain women,
who have always been noted for their

What the Tariff Costs.


If the protectionists cannot snow
that all are protected by the tariff,
it must be admitted that protection
is not applied equally and unequal tax
alton is an abomination. From the
very nature Of things protection can
not be universal, or there would be no
benefit for anyone. If every one was
taxed for the benefit Of everyone else
no one would be the gamer The policy
and practice of the protective tariff
is to make the many pay for the bene-
fit Of the few.
How few receive any advantage
from the protective tariff of the 29,-
Geo. eco which the census Of 1900 shows
are engaged In gainful occupations
that IS the workers and labOrers of the
United States. 1t is admitted that but
very few farmers receive any benefit
from the tariff and yet there were TO-
100000 persons engaged in agriculture.
Men and women In the professions
numbered 1,25S,O0O, can it be shown
that the 111.63S clergymen. the ia, ,460
lawyers. the 10000 doctors and the
446, 1913 teachers have had their in
comes increased by the protective
tariff?
The 5,5S0,0OO persons I'm domestic
and personal service Of whom 1,560,-

116 BARRIERS, and 155, ,153 housekeepers

raised their pay? How many Of the
4, 766, 900 people in trade and trans
portation have received a cent from
Uncle Sam? There were $50, ,127 clerks,
254. $50 bookkeepers. Gil, 1,138 statesmen
and the 5S2, $50 railroad employees all
paying their share of tariff taxes but
receiving no benefit i'm return.
Now. we come to the I,0S5.00O per-
sons employed in manufacturing pur-
suits about one-fourth of the whole
number of workers. But very large
proportion of these derive no benefit
from the tariff. for the 346, ,SS4 dress
makers. the 229.649 tailors. the 10000

to have any advantage from the tariff.
But all these and every one else
paid towards an average for each
family in the United States 1852
tariff tax to Uncle Sam In 1902 and
the tax the workers paid was in some
cases even more than the masters paid,
for the rate of duty is often higher on
the cheaper goods and yet the protec-
tionists say the tariff is to protect
labor.
But what Uncle Sam receives is a
small tax compared TO what the trusts
charge each family through the pro-
lection the tariff gives them, which
is computed by the most expect sta
tisticians TO be for 1902 S94 for each
family or nearly six times as much
as the government takes in at the
Custom Houses.
No wonder the cost of living is high
and that those with small incomes
find it difficult TO pay this mOnstrOus
tax which the Republican policy of
high protection imposes. We might
stand the tariff tax the government
gets if it did not protect and foster
the trusts in plundering us.

Letter to Deal With Issues.
Reasons for One-Ter. Views.

Several reasons might bs advanced for
this position. but the controlling one with
me Is that l am fully persuaded that no
incumbent of that Office should ever be
placed in a situation of possible tempta-
tion to consider what the effect of action
taken by him In an administrative matter
of great Importance might have upon his
political fortunes. Questions of momentous
consequence to all Of the people have been
In the past and will be in the future pre-
sented to the President for determination,
and In approaching their consideration, as
well as in weighing the facts and the argu-
ments bearing upon them. he should be un-
embarrassed by any possible thought of the
influence his decision may have upon any
thing whatever that may affect him per-
sOnally.
I make this statement not in criticism
of any of our Presidents from WASHINGTON
down who have either held the office for
two terms or sought to succeed themselves;
for strong arguments can be advanced in
support Of the reelection Of q President
1t is simply my Judgment that the interests
OF this country are now SO vast and the
questions presented are frequently Of such
overpowering magnitude to the people that
it Is Indispensable to the maintenance Of a
BETTING attitude before the people not only
that the chief magistrate should be indie
pendent but that that independence should
be known of all men.
