LET TARIFF BE THE ISSUE

There is a promise that the tariff
will be the issue in the campaign
of 1908, and there is some pr0ba-
bility that the Democrats may OBJ
tain possession of the House on
this issue. An impetus was given
the tariff question and its endur
ing and permanent Importance out
lined at the dinner in New York
Saturday evening, when John
Sharp Williams, ex-Gov. W. l..
Douglas, of Massachusetts, and
others spoke.
Gov. Douglas, who is one of the
leading shoe manufacturers of the
country, and an authority on the
question, said:
"We do not produce enough
hides to make our own boots and
shoes. About 25 per cent. of all
leather made in this country is
made from imported hides.
"Could these and sole leather
come in free of duty we could not
only make cheaper shoes, but we
could increase our export business
many fold. For, strange to say,
we now export more than IS, 000,
900 of shoes year, Handicapped
as we are by onerous and unjust
duties.p
He held, however, that the re-
'moval of the duty on hides alone
would not result in giving us low
er prices for sole leather, but gave
it as his opinion that by the re
moval of the needless duty on hides
and sole leather the shoe manu-
facturers of this country could in a
few years increase their export
business by 100000, 900 annually.
He showed conclusively also
that the removal of tariff on coal
will give much cheaper coal, and
at the same time, would largely in
crease the exports of coal.
The necessity for reducing the
tariff on lumber, iron and other
raw products was very convincing
ly shown by the speeches made.
Tt is one of the surprises of poll
tics that the Democrats have al
lowed themselves to be led off by
other issues. So long as a few in
dustries can be built up by Gov
eminent aid, and comparatively
few men enriched, at the expense
| of the millions of citizens of this
country, abuses of every kind in
government will follow.
If the tariff is to be revised, il
cannot be left to those who believe
in the principle of protection
The tariff can only be revised in g
way that will benefit the country
| by those who believe in tariff re
form. The Republican party can

the history of American millionaires.
Not long ago the world held it's breath
at the rashness of Helen Zimmerman.
Was she married? Papa Zimmerman
said NO" He also said that he
would know something about it IL any
body would, provided such a thing had
happened, and yet cablegrams kept
coming that she was.
You cannot make my denial too
explicit" he said, for there is abso-
lutely nothing in the report. If there
had been I certainly would have heard
OF it, and not a word have received.
Why, my daughter is on the ocean this
minute on the steamship Campanta,
which Is expected to arrive at New
York on Wednesday. She will be ac-
companied by her aunt, Miss Evans,
and by no one else. Now that she has
sailed to this country, will you tell me
how she could have been married?"
1t was suggested that the marriage
took place on the Wednesday before,
which the millionaire denied, but
which, 1t turned ont, was just what
had happened. The young people had
decided to get married, but to keep the
ceremony secret until the bride could
go to Cincinnati. But the suddenness
Of the ceremony and the secrecy had
been decided upon because of the wild
and unsettled affairs of the duke, and
the ceremony was performed with the
consent of the brides aunt, Miss Ef-

her apartment there made an unfore-

detained In Paris and missed the boat,
and when she arrived in London the
duke insisted on going to Tanderagee
castle. This was not according to the
agreement, but the girl was again
persuaded, the aunt and guardian
again going along. OF course, the
Tanderagee trip made the announce

then it was that the messages were
