VERY UNFAIR METHODS
ARE ALLEGED TO BE USED BY
COMBINE OF RAILROADS AND
A STEAMSHIP LINE.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Will investigate a Complaint
Made by Philadcl phians.

Washington, d. C.-The inter-
state commerce commission has de-
cided to institute an investigation into
the aflairs Of the Hamburg-American
Packet Co., which is charged by Peter
Wright & Sons, general agents at
Philadelphia OF the Cosmopolitan
Shipping Co. and the Cosmopolitan
lines, with pooling and maintaining
monopOlies in restraint of trade. The
inquiry is expected to be one of the
most stIpendous ever undertaken and
Of a character different from any that
has ever before engaged the attention
Df the commission.
The inquiry will have to deal with
IN alleged combination between rail-
roads in the United States and the
herman shipping concern and there
ducer, manufacturer or shipper aspir-
Ing to introduce his goods to foreign
consumers.
According to the complaint on
which action was taken by the COM
mission the Hamburg American
Packet Co. has built up a complete
monopoly of the eastbound traffic
originating in Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
Eas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Duluth,
Cleveland and other manufacturing
centers of the Uni1ed States intended
for places on the continent of Europe.
The complaint reviews what it clains
to be unfair methods in sitting cOm-

This looks like anti-Oslerism. Chief
Chemist Wiley of the department of
agriculture at Washington, addressing
the graduating class of a scientific
school at Cleveland, said jocularly that
he belongs TO a hundred-year club,
any member of which who dies before
completing the century will be ex-
PEELED in disgrace. Speaking more
seriously, he said: The present gen.
Grafton is Soing to live much longer
than the one which came before be-
cause it knows more about the laws
Of diet, hygiene and surgery. 1t is a
rank disgrace for any man to die, ex-
cept of old age" And DR.. Wiley
thinks that, in view of the good pros
poets OF long life as a result of proper
care and understanding of the rules
Of health, it will pay man to spend
Il long time even 20 years or more, in
the schooling which shall fit him for
his work. From which It IS to be in
ferred that learning how to live is one
of the essentials to long life.

Well Said.

Everyone who favors reciprocity
or the lowering Of any particular duty
is headed in the direction which leads
to free trade
That is the truth. 1t was not a pro
tectionist who said it, though every
well grounded protectionist knows il
to be true. 1t was said by Harvey n,
Shepard, who presided at the annual
dinner of the American Free Trade
league in Boston on the 30th of last
month. Boston was the best possible
place to say it in. in 40 part of the
country are there so many persons
who without knowing it, are headed
in the direction of free trade. Thanks
Mr. Shepard, for saying the right
thing at the right time and in the
right place.

Hard to Wreck.

Now that the railroad magnates
have had time to sit down and think it
over, they seem to agree that the
country is to be congratulated upon
the existence of conditions which pre-.
vented the recent furry in Wall street
from travelling far outside of the
strictly speculative belt Melville +.
ingalls,, chairman of the board of di.
rectors of the Cincinnati. Chicago &
st. Louis railroad, is quoted rs say.
ing on the tWenty-second of March:
1t is true, of course, that the coun.
try is going through a form of crisis
which may turn out all right, or which
may prove hurtful. But one thing
should strike one forcibly; while
stocks have shrunk Billions you have
heard of no failures or business catas'
trophies, have you? That would seem
to indicate solidity and a substantial
prosperity which will be hard tc
wreck.
Under normal conditions Mr.. ingalls,
is a strenuous friend of tariff re
form" But circumstances alter cases
We don't believe the gentleman was
thinking much about ripping up the
tariff during those two BLACK Fri
days" in which stock values went
tumbling down at the rate of hun
dreds of millions a day About that
time, we venture to guess, Mr.. ingalls,
was mighty glad that tariff agitation
and the dread of tariff changes did not
occur in the tendency toward a de
structive panic, and that tariff stabil
ity and business solidity produced a
substantial prosperity that was hard
to wreck.

Investigation by Workinumen.

British workingmen have always
been assured by free trade orators
that they were much better off than
their German brethren, who were rep
resented as being doomed by the pro-
tective tariff to live on black bread
and horsefesh. Finally a deputation
of workingmen was sent to Investigate.
They have returned and reported that
under the tariff the German workmen
are more prosperous and contented
than ever before in the history of that
country. The black bread is admitted,
but it is brown instead of black, and
it suits the German taste better than

Reciprocity with South America.

The sound principle in reciprocity is
that we shall offer n free market for
things we do not produce in return for
free market in lands which have prod
ucts different from ours; and southern
America supplies the necessary cond-
tions for this.-Philadelphia North Amer
lean.
Is not that precisely what we are
now giving them? Can the North
American name single article which
we do not ourselves produce that is
not already on the free list? Our i'm
ports from all South America in 1906
amounted to $40, ,S76. OF this sum
coffee and crude rubber made up fully
three-quarters. We levy no tariff on
either coffee or crude rubber. What,
then, is to be the basis of reciprocity
dickers with the South American re-
publics? There is, practically, no
basis, unless it be the willingness of
those countries to give our exports a
preference in return for our free ad-
mission of their coffee and rubber. We
could, of course, establish a basis by
tive products; but that would violate
a cardinal principle of protection.
Protection tariffs competitive articles
only. 1t would seem that South
America is provided with the neces-
sary conditions for sound reciprocity,
but is not disposed to supply those
conditions.
