SOME HIGH TARIFF FACTS.
Republicans Waking UP to the

Arguments.

Even some Of the republican papers or
Pennsylvania are waking up to the fact
that the high tariff duties ought to DO

When the republican press Of a state
like Pennsylvania joins the ranks OF
tariff reformers. surely there must be
good reason TO complain. says the In.
dianapolis Sentinel.
During the campaign the republican
papers and many OF the campaign spell
binders said there was nothing In the
democratic argument for tariff reform.
Now some Of these newspapers are using
the very same arguments democratic
speakers used on the subject Every one

lhcaton for the high duty on steel

seven dollars per ton Of 1000 pounds.
IL is notorious that the price Of steel

the manufacturers OF steel rails in the
United States would be fin a rcsition to
secure a full, round. legitimate profit.
What they are now charging behind the
tarin barrier II seven dollars a ton is
simply a monopoly price. furnishing an
entirely unjustifable profit This is in
some degree shown by the Willingness
OF these manufacturers TO take orders
for steel rails in foreign countries in
free competition with the manufacture

not a great while ago. a steel rail mill IN

grace the favors heaped upon her-but
all the time she was thinking of the
lieutenant spending his Christmas eve
under guard.
Then came the supper and after that
the Christmas tree. The officers were
made happy with remembran -es from
the men: the men smiled at the little
tokens from the oficers-for out on
this frontier post had grown up a
cameraderie between those stationed
there that knew no rank or station.
When the tree was emptied there en-
sued a hush as Miss Landers came
down the center OF the mess hall her
stately form held proudly erect and
her eyes shining with a new light.
Before the captain she curtsied with
old -fashioned ceremony. The whole

well-to-do farmers and indeed every

To Miss I.anders came two invita-
lions. one addressed in the Grabbed
back-hand chirography of the captain
and the other in the flowing. artistic
style Of the lieutenant Which should
she accept? She determined to wait
on events and see where fate led. Fate
seemed very undecided at that point
OF the affair.
No word passed between the captain

any discussion regarding the manner

captain did not see until he was at

FRIENDS OF THE TARIFF.
The Republican Party Must Som
Make Some Move for Reason
able Reduction.

Frior TO the opening of congress the
question Of tariff revision was foremost
among the topics OF discussion at Wash
ington. There was general impress
sion that President Roosevelt, in accord
ance with limitations given out lmme-
diately after election, would arrange to
call an extra session next spring for the
express purpose Of dealing with tho tar
IN. Meantime the initial measures nee
essary TO prepare for such action were
to be taken, says the Chicago Daily
News Qnd).
All speculation OF this character has
been silenced with the definite an
nouncement that the plan to cell an ex-
ira session a few months hence has been
abandoned. There will be no extra ses-
sion and no revision OF tariff schedules
until next fall, at the earliest. while ac-
ton may be postponed until the regular
session of next winter. IL is evident
that the presidents attitude In this mat
ter was fixed after consultation with the
party leaders and with the congressman
as they arrived fresh from their constit-
uencies. Some of these are of the opin-
Ion that there is no general demand for
tariff revision. Others affirm that while
the tarif should be revised IL lisa physic-
al impossibility for the members Of the
ways and means committee to prepare
themselves for intelligent action until
after several months Of hard work.
Admitting the force of this last con-
tention, it is manifest that the repub-
lican party must soon make some move
in the direction Of more reasonable tar
if schedules If it is not 10 be convicted
of self-stultification. II could do much
to promote popular confidence just now
by establishing a nonpolitlcal tariff
commission with instructions to go into
the tariff question as problem in pure
economics and to deal with IL practically
and scientifically This the party seems
unlikely to do. Many of its leaders are
disposed to let matters drift as they are.
II they are to continue in this atti-
tude with what grace dc shey expect to
be able to repeat their shibboleth about
letting the tariff be revised by It's
friends" when again they seek the favor
of the voters?

Brave Japanese Fishermen.

The Japanese MS a race are fearless.
This is evidenced by the hazardous
occupation of the little brown men who
earn living far from the rocky coast
lines of the islands. One of the chief
articles of diet in Japan is fish. To
secure 1t for the market the Japanese
go many miles from land in their tiny
craft. which to those who do not un-
derstand their strength and buoyancy,
look as though any ordinary wave
would capsize them. These Japanese
go two and three hundred miles at sea
to catch fish
Each year the shores of the islands
are strewn with wreckage from the
boats. while the sea gives up the
bodies of the brave men who were
caught in the feaful typhoons which
sweep around this corner of the earth.
Then. again, the ocean liners take the
lives of many Of these doughty Japan
ese. There is never u diminution in
the numbers OF the fleet.

Charles Rector of the Shurtloff mine
was standing on the platform of lnde-

explosion as follows: There were
about fifty or sixty of us waiting for
our train which was coming up the
track a few hundred feet distant. A
number of miners who had not yet
reached the depot were running to-
ward it with their dinner buckets in
hand, so they would not miss the train
and be sure of seat. The train ap-
preached the depot at moderate rate
and the crowd on the platform began
to move around SO as to secure points
of vantage in getting aboard as soon
as the train stopped. At this moment
a great explosion occurred right under
our feet. The impact shook the build
ings in the town and everything be-

used to produce such an explosion. OF
