BUMPED GOOD AND HARD
Massachusetts, Republican Tariff Re
visionists Given the Twenty
Three" Brand.

Some of the Massachusetts congress.
men have been thrown down so hard
that they can feel the bumps They
are not on the head. These heavy
statesmen stuck to their determination
to nave paper circulated for the call
ing of Republican caucus OF con
gressmen to decide what might be
done about revising the tariff. They
got only nine signatures outside of
the Massachusetts delegation, SAYS the
Worcester Telegram, and they died in
the heat OF their race for the cur
OF nonsense. Now they know they
VIII all be defeated at the next cleo
ton, and they realize that no set of
men from Massachusetts ever deserved
so quick execution at the polls. they
have worn free hide plasters on their
backs ever since they went to Wash
ington and took their places as cypheTs
at the right hand % the real Republi,-
an figures. They did not have the cour-
age 10 take the plasters Off They were
stuck on with Boston glue and dried
with the Whitney east wind They
were repeatedly told by Republicans
from other Parts of the country thai
the people Will not submit to a revi-
sion OF the tariff, but they would NOT
believe. and said they would lose their
jobs. Their jobs have lost them. They
are wandering around Washington.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.
Contention OF Free Traders That Is
Set at Naught by Existing
Conditions.

One Mr.. Brickett writes TO the Bos-
ton Herald. assuming that the tariff
ON watches amounts To more on the
output of certain watch company
than IL pays for wages. The conclu-
sion drawn. both by MIR. Brickett and
the Herald, is that the railway men
and others requiring watches have TO
pay this amount for the timepieces
they use In addition TO their cost. II
has always been the contention OF the
free traders. says the Lowell (Mass.)
Citizen, that high duties so stimulated
home production, that IL soon reduced
prices beyond profitable point. and
soon ruined home industry. IN the
profitable, why do not more people
make watches? Capital Is always
seeking remunerative investment, and
matchmaking Is not monopoly.
Whenever trust is kept alive by
heavy duties on foreign competing
products-as Is no doubt true In some
cases-then Is the time to hams string
the trust by cutting down the tariff
But there are modifying circumstances
even here. III ham-stringing the trust
at the same time knocks out a large
number OF Independent industries I'm
the same line, as II would in some de-
partments. II is first to be determined
whether ham-stringing wouldn't do
more harm than good. Letting France
and Germany and Switzerland deluee
our states with watches made on 90
cent day labor might give our rail-
road men cheaper watch. but Il
would also give us n lot OF cheap ar
ttsans. III fares the land to hasten
ing Ills prey. where wealth accumu-
lates and men decay" says Goldsmith.
But the decay of men is more to be
feared than the accumulation of
wealth. There are some things which
have to be endured for the sake of
some other things. The watch com.
pany is about as innocuous. not TO say
beneficial, an industrial concern as
there is in the country. It's labor Is
OF high grade; It's product is redolent
with advanced civilization; and Il is
pride to the nation. And IL you can.
not afford Wnltham watch. why
there is always the Waterbury or the
1ngersoll.

ARE DOING WELL ENOUGH.
Radical Revision of the Tariff Would
Impede Our Present Ma
tional Progress.

What may be known as the shortest
platform: Resolved, That we Ieaye
well enough alone" was adopted by
the Republicans OF Trego county.
Kansas. 1t Is a model that might well
be copied, says the Springfield (Mass.)
Union.
In this state there Is strong dis
position to tinker with the tariff. vet
ii must be admitted that the Dineley
law Is well nigh well enough" or
course we want to make progress. To
stand still is to- invite defeat. We can
revise the tariff in advance. but IL
would be most unwise To revise il in
radical manner. The years that
have passed since the Dingley law was
enacted have seen some changes I'm in

met by revision. 10th up and down.

We should compel all the great cor

spread out an array of these goods for

making her selection he noticed that
she looked exceedingly sad and tear

WATER SUPPLY OF PANAMA
Elevated Reservoir Holding Vast
Quantity Furnishes the City
BEAUTIFULLY.

Writes John F. Wallace in the En-
gineering Magazine: The system
consisted of n main impounding reser.
voir. at an elevation OF approximately
235 feet above the level Of the sea,
containing enough water to supply the
city or Panama with 100000 gallons
daily. an average OF the basis OF 3d.
VOO population, which was at least so
per cent. in excess OF the present num-
Der OF inhabitants. This water was to
be conducted to the immediate vicin-
lily OF Panama through 16-inch
main, and discharged into an auxiliary
reservoir OF 100000 gallons capacity.
situated at an elevation OF approx.
mately 40 feet above the sea level in
the immediate vicinity OF Panama.
from which the water was conducted
through 20inch pipe TO a connection
with the distributing system in the
city.
Numerous delays occurred In the
construction OF this water supply sys-
tenn. due to the fact that the last ship
ment of 16-inch pipe for the water
main did not arrive on the isthmus
until May. 1905-eight months after
the requisition for II had been issued
The system was in final readiness for
the delivery OF water in the city OF
Panama at the close OF June. 1905,
although the auxiliary reservoir and
the full local distribution would still
require several months for completion
Even in the United States IT Is rare
indeed that n water supply OF this
magnitude is conceived. Designed and
executed in so short time, and. con
sidering the delays in securing the
material and especially the difficulty
experienced in obtaining the proper
quality and quantity OF labor the re.
suit of this particular installation was
certainly gratifying. And the credit
therefor is due 10 Mr.. Carleton
Davis and his efficient staff OF ASST
