Washington. Sept l5-Former sena-
tor Donelson Cafery of Louisiana, who
during his six years Of service In the
United States Senate marked himself
as man OF independent thought and
action, has been in Washington for
few days and while here talked enter
tainingly on political subjects. Mr.
Canery is one Of the men who believes
there must be "A revision OF the tariff,
hut some OF his utterances incidental
20 that discussion sound strange com-
ing from a Democrat and a Southern
Democrat at that. He advances an
idea unusual TO northern ears when he
says there is a natural prediction
towards a protective tariff among the
business interests of the South. and
that while those interests down south
vote the Democrat ticket they are OF
Republican proclvties.
II see no prospects ahead for the
Democratic party" said the Senator.
"At present it is agreed upon no issue.
lThcre must be revision of the tarim
but that demand win come from
Northern States. Massachusetts, is
clamoring for it, while Iowa, through
Governor cummins Is making the most
of every opportunity to force the re-
vision idea to the front There is too
much protection sentiment In the South

actively champion a revision measure.
The South already has extensive manu-
features and products for which It
wants high protection. And should
the Democrats be intrusted with a re-
vision Of the tariff there would be

Representative Gardner Of Massachu-

1t was this subject on which ] Ques-
toned Mr.. Frazier, who should know
The reports are not exaggerated"
he replied, "as to the gradual diminu-
tion of the mackerel supply We
handle fifty per cent less mackerel to-
day than a few years ago. What Is
becoming of the mackerel is a question
for some one else TO solve; all we know
IS the supply is growing less and less
and the price Increasing. The same
may be said, however, of all fish and
sea food. The price of fish will be
higher this year and the supply smaller
than ever before"
What is the reason for increase in
the price of fish," was asked. rs It
because the price of meat has risen
to a figure where the people turn to
FISH as a substithte?"
Not at all" he replied. "The demand
for fish is due to the taste and appetite

lmeat to fish. The price has little to
do with it for with the exception Of
the cheaper varieties such as cod and
haddock, the price of FISH is equal or
greater than that of meat" How
about the lobster?' I asked. prompted
by the painful reminiscence Of prices
on the Jersey Coast.
"LObsters," he replied. "are rapidly
becoming extinct. This is no joke, and
the scarcity of the supply explains why
you pay a dollar and a half for a
lobster that few years ago would
have gone begging az fifty cents The
shad seems to hold its own. but you
lof Washington are unduly proud Of the
Potomac shad. To hear you talk one
would think the shad was not known

further north one goes the better the
shad. Best of all of that of the Con-
lnecticut river where the cold water

which is exploded is that terrapln is at

Noting the incredulous look with
which this statement was received. he
!. added There was an interesting test
iot this made several years ago. You
know there are epicures in New York
: who believe nothing equals a Maryland
terrapin and that no one but Mary

Among these was a man who kept a
