These items were placed in the bill to
make farmers believe that the tariff
protects them. The men who placed
those items 10 the bill must have had
a rich sense of humor and must have
taken to heart the famous remark of
the late Phineas r. Barnum that q
new sucker is born every minute. He
got rich pandering to the suckers. So
have the Republicans.
"Santo Doningo's Latest Scheme
Recently that brilliant Independent
paper the Washington Post under tho
above caption entertained its readers
with the following slashing editorial:
This interesting item was published re-
Gently in the news columns of the Post:
1T is understood that a plan has been
proposed to the state department by Off
cials of the Dominican government where
by this government will give the little
republic moral support in the backing OF
several million dollars worth of bonds.
The creditors Of Santo Domingo are
pressing for q settlement. The deposit of
customs revenues in the National City
bank is alluring both to the creditors and
to the government of Santo Domingo, and
the failure of the senate to ratify the
treaty was great disappointment to the
hungry ones. Now 1t is proposed to get
at this money by printing bonds of the
bankrupt little republic and floating them
on the strength of guarantee by the
United States.
1t is Uncomfortable that the administers
ton should take any steps to commit this
government to the payment of Santo Do
mingo's bonds. The senate has shown
clearly enough. although In a negative
way, what it thinks of the innovations
already introduced into our relations with
Santo Domingo. Undoubtedly any bar
gain providing for guaranteed bond is
sue would be rejected by the senate. and
it could not be entered into without the
consent of the senate unless the iproads
upon the constitution have gone further
than the public suspects. The report that
the United States was involved as guar
antor of the bonds of Costa RIGA occa-
stoned enough comment in the senate re-
Gently to show clearly the temper of that
body toward such schemes.
Acting Secretary Bacon listened courte-
ousIy, no doubt, 10 the representatives OF
Santo Domingo when they unfolded their
artless little plan 10 get control of the
money now on deposit in New York. 1t is
safe to say. however, that he carefully
refrained from making any engagements
which he knew the senate would reject.
In spite OF the sympathy excited by un-
fortunate ass i:.-p eaious southern re-
publies the time las not yet arrived
when the F-s;frd sst.es is morally or
otheraise Eof:sd 10 Fay their debts

Rise In Diamonds.

The price Of diamonds is to most
folks "of no consequence as Mr..
Toots would have said had he turned
his mind to that luminous subject.
Nevertheless the following London
cable to the New York Sun will be
read with interest because It is SO sur
prising:
The upward trend in the prices Of dia-
monds and other precious stones during
the last few years has been so consider
able that it is no exaggeration to say
that if the tendency Of prices to adj
vance continues there will be twenty-five
years hence as much locked up capital
in diamond necklace as in the average
Industrial corporation today, and precious
stones will be beyond the reach of all
but the richest of the rich.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-08-09

Hon. Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
has blood in his eye and is hotfoot
after the Republican senators and rep
resentatives whom he accuses Of be-
ing unfriendly to labor. He is caus-
ing Hon. Charles e. Littlefeld of
Maine to take more physical and lin
quail exercise than that statesman has
been in the habit of taking this season
of the year. But Mr.. President Com
pers is after even bigger game than
Hon. Charles E. Littlefeld of Maine.
1t is said that he is going cunning
after Uncle Joe Cannon A debate be-
twixt Cannon and Gompers would be
worth a days journey to hear.

new LEGAL CODE IS PLANNED
Commission Decides Compilation
Rather than Revision Necessary.
Allegation President Roosevelt In
auenced Many of the Changes Pro-
nOunced without Foundation.

Codifeation and not revision must be
the net result Of the work in progress
for the last nine years by the commits
sion to revise the laws. The members are
John L. Lott and David X. Watson, OF
Ohio. and William d. Bynum. of Indiana.
The Joint committees of Congress on
revision OF the laws mas reached this con
cIusion. All changes made To meet the
Interpretation placed upon certain
statutes by administrative officials must
be eliminated. These are among the i'm
portant recommendation which will be
submitted to Congress:
The elimination of minimum penalties
from criminal statutes. This has ions
been advocated by all humanitarian so
Cieties.
The perfection Of all laws relating to
cOunterfeiting so as to obviate the utili-
zation OF modern inventions without pos
sibility Of punishment
All statutes that have been declared
unconstitutional by the United States Su-
preme Court will be omitted in codihca-
ton
The work Of codihcation has developed
the fact that twice as many statutes have
been enacted since 1873 as during the Ell
tire period prior 10 that time
The allegation that many statutes have
been revised by the commission 70 meet
the wishes Of President Roosevelt Is pro-
noWced without foundation. All the
changes have been in conformity with in
terpretations made by administrative Of
ficials.
