First the Minimum.

Secretary Root in a speech recently
favored that kind OF tsriff reform that
will place the country on a maximum
and minimum tariff basis. This kind
of a change has been advocated for
some years, and one of It's earliest
and ablest advocates has been the
secretary of the treasury. II repre-
sents a vital principle and one with
which determinations on the part OF
other countries against the United
States can be most successfully COM
bated The country that treats US
fairly will be given the minimum tar
IN and the other the maximum tariff.
II Is the kind OF tariff, properly safe
guarded. that we may have in this
country at some time in the near fu-
ture.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

Where the Farmer Come. In.

In the calendar year 1906 American
manufactures Of iron and steel ex-
ported to foreign countries amounted
in value to s172. 500. 900, against sI43,.
100000 in 1908. $l2S 500 900 in 1904.
and $9s .0000 In 1903, having thus
Increased 20 per cent. IN three years.
This s172. 100000 for 1906 Is high rec
ord OF exports of iron and steel man
ufactures. Paid to the producers OF
the United States by consumers in
other parts OF the world. IL Is the
equivalent OF yearly wages OF $500
each. earned by $4,000 American work
men and by them distributed into all
che channels OF supply. The Ameri-
can farmer got a very liberal share
OF the s172, 100000 of foreign money
thus spread around. for the extra
force OF wage earners employed in
producing the goods exported, to-
gether with their families, consumed
probably ten times the quantity OF
American farm products that would
have been consumed by foreign work
ers engaged abroad in producing the
tl72. 100000 worth Of iron and steel.

cummIns let's Co Of the rarin.

As Gov. Cummins did not mention
tariff revision either In his message
or his inaugural address, the matter
can be considered closed. II was a
long. hard fight. and we hope now
the governor will steady down and
pull true IN the party traces. A po-
litical party Is always in need OF lead

NO DIAGRAM is NEEDED.
William Whitmsn's Position On TarIf'
Easily Understood.

We ought not TO allow our indus
trial system to be made a political
plaything From a speech OF VIII
liam Whitman, at Boston.
Mr.. Whitman is president of the
National Association of Wooden Man
ufacturers. lie was talking about tar
iff revision. No diagram Is needed TO
explain his posltion.-N. Y. Sun.
Mr.. Whitman's position Is easily un.
derstood. Briefly, II Is that the up
roar for tariff revision has politics as
It's origin and development. lie knows
that IL IS being utilized by political
schemers as means to an end. A. a
large employer of labor, with big pay
rolls 10 meet and heavy output 81

naturally objects to the surrender OF
the country's industrial interests TO

Is a producer and a wage payer. TC

situated tariff stability is Vital
requisite to business stability; a con
dition too important TO be made 20

and It needs no diagram. When busi'

Pig iron and diamonds are the true
barometers Of trade conditions. When
iron ~ prosperous. with strong de-
mand and high prices, precious stones
are always in the ascendant. Last
year the production of pig iron
reached the enormous total OF 25.p00.-
600 tons, the price rose, and at the
present time iron products cannot be
obtained at deliveries sooner than
four TO six months. Last year the
United States imported diamonds to
she value OF s34.000.000, by far the
largest amount in our history. Dia-
monds and pig iron travel up and
down the scale together.

the following to say of Whitman S

which soon comes to the opera
house:

endorsed by the leading people Of

and one that happens in every day
keep up the interest of all classes of
people. Mr. Roseleigh as Harry
Grantley handles his part in the most
praiseworthy manner, throwing his
whole soul into it and making the
most of the situations. Miss Velma
Whitman scored another success in
the part OF Florence Grantley.
Horace Murphy as Uncle Bur-
dette," had a very clever makeup
for the part and played 1t remarkably
well, owing to the fact he was labor
ing under severe cold
Mr. Rosleieh's own version of the
life we are all living, entitled Life
is Funny Proposition" was rem
dered after the first act in such a
manner that it held the audience
spell bound and set them thinking.
The music with the company is
well worth the price of admission in
itself.
