Charges Were Withdrawn.

''Thereupon the charges and reconmen-
dalton so far under consideration by the
board were withdrawn. and new charge
and recommendation substituted; and upon
motion the recommendation of the super
intendent so substituted was thereupon
put to vote and carried.
ut is true that the new charge that was
filled was similar to one of the two orig
inal charges filed against the re.ator. but
it was none the less a new and original
charge. and upon that, and not upon the
original charge under consideration at the
time the relator, his counsel and his friend
retired: the board finally acted and dis
missed the relator.
THAT this did not constitute trial
cannot be seriously questioned for a mo-
ment. Not only was the re.ator dismissed
without trial, but without even being ad-
vised that the charges originally fled
against him had been withdrawn and a
new charge and q new recommendation
substituted.
Now. 1t is trte, that this was after they
had all three< retired and returned a
moment where the board was In session, and
learned that new charge had been filed
and new recommendation had been made
and that he secured copy of 1t. But so
far as the relatof being advised Of that
fact, or by his counsel, there is nothing alb
sOluteIy here to indicate that they had any
knowledge of 1t whatever.

visit his father whom he had not
seen for many years. While there
he discovered that he could buy
American made farm machinery
at a price that would enable him
to reship it to the United States
and, after it had paid carriage both
ways, make a saving to himself of
Is per cent. in the purchase. That
is to say, he found that the pro-
tected American implement manu-
facturer was charging his home
customer about 40 per cent. more
than he asked from the hated
foreigner. THE Mckinley act then
in force permitted the return of
homemade goods duty free.) If,
before that experience, Mr.. Stout
was an advocate of the Great
American System of Protection,
I'll venture the assertion that he
has experienced a change of heart.
Ten to one, that he doesn't believe
that ''the foreigner pays the tax"
assessed by protection against the
home consumer. The Peru Sec
ton of the logic is, | frankly con-
fess, beyond my limited oompre-

that the price OF his principal
product is sot by the foreign mar
kets!
