In replying to the assertion of the
Waterville Sentinel that the tariff on
hides adds ten cents to the price of
every pair of shoes and costs the peo-
pie OF Maine $4,000 year more
than under the Wilson law, the Ken
nebec Journal makes the excellent
point that shoes are as cheap to-day
as they were in the dismal period of
1893-1S97. The Journal might have
gone farther and shown that the tariff
affects only the heavier hides used in
making sole leather, and that the duty
of Is per cent. cannot possibly in
crease the cost more than two cents
q pair This cost comes out of the
manufacturers profit and not out of
the consumers pocket. Yet large
number of shoe manufacturers have
become enormously rich, and are get
ting richer very fast In spite of that
Is per cent. duty on hides. Rightly the
Journal contends that this duty should
be retained because the farmers want
it. Abolish the duty on what the farm
ers have to sell and the farmers would
very quickly demand the removal of
duties on what they have to buy.
That would mean the end of all pro-
tective duties. Though they apparent
ly have not sense enough to see it,
duty on farm products practically ad
vocate free-trade. That Is the size
Of it,

MODERN TARIFF PLATFORM.
The Manufacturers Club of PhladeL
phia Want to "Be Shown"

Possibly the tariff plank in the Re
publican platform of 1908 was written
when the following was adopted by
the Manufacturers club of Philadel.
phia on Monday evening. September
3, 1907:
That we are opposed to any disturb.
ance of the present tariff law at the
coming session of congress and until
conditions have 80 changed that the
public interest demands q change In
rates of duty, and until II can be
shown that less injury will result than
good be accomplished by such action.
Is there safer, sounder, more SEN
sible tariff declaration than this upon
which the party of protection could go
before the people in next years presi-
Dental and congress elections? Could
the national convention do better than
to adopt it without the change of a
word or a comma?
This Is practically the platform of
1904, except that it more specifically
states the common-sense proposition
that action looking toward disturb
ance of the tariff and of business con-
ditions shall not be permitted until
it can be shown that less injury will
result than good be accomplished by
such action"
Who will say no to this? What rea-
sonable, prudent, patriotic citizen will
dispute that before the tariff is dis
turbed evils calling for remedy must
be plainly shown to be of greater con-
sequence than the evils certain to re-
suit from such disturbance?
Upon such a platform the Republi-
can party can without question sue
cessfully appeal to the. country for a
renewed expression of confidence. 1t
would be a practical guaranty that the
best judgment, the best brain, the best
wisdom of great party are to rule
the business. the industry, the wage
earning and the wage-paying of the
nation as a whole 1t would be no.
tice that protection remains "a cardi-
nal principle" Of the party of protec-
ton, and that neither the avowed enc
mics nor the false friends Of protec-
ton will be allowed to subvert pro-
lection and destroy prosperity.
For the sake of the greatest good Of
the greatest number it is earnestly to
be hoped that the tariff resolution of
the Manufacturers club of Philadel-
phia will be the tariff plank Of the Ma
tional Republican convention of 1908.

Last year German yachts which
came here to race for the Roosevelt
cup were defeated This year our
boats contesting for the Emperor Will
liam cup at Kied, Germany, were bad
ly beaten. Yacht-designers usually
succeed best in building for home wa
tiers and for weather conditions to
which they are habituated. These in
ternational races, however, are not
without their usefulness. Yachting a

a billion dollars of increase in one
year because of Protection. Yet the
suggestion is there; you cannot es-
cape it.
Doubtless the Record will scout
the idea that protection has had any
thing to do with the farmers prosper
ity, and will sneeringly ask, What
has Protection to do with big crops"
Let us see about that 1t requires
no strained argument to show that
Protection may have a great deal to
do with big crops.
Go back to 18931S97. The farmer
was getting so cents bushel for his
wheat and So apiece for his lambs.
Today, after ten years of restored
protection, the price Of wheat has
nearly doubled and the price of a
spring lamb has more than doubled.
Protection has not increased the
yield OF wheat per acre, or the per
centage of lambs available for the
butchers block, but it has induced the
farmer to SOW additional acres of
wheat to buy more ewes from which
to breed lambs.
1t is estimated that farm land val
ues and the gross values of farm
products have increased at the rate of
billion dollars year-fully 100000.
600, ,000-in the last ten years of ade-
quate protection to American labor
and industry.

Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for d moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and Chanic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development
of the germs that would not
otherwise have found Judgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases.
Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
to be contracted when the child has
a cold. You will see from this that
more real danger turks in cold than
in any other of the common ailments.
The easiest and quickest way to cure
a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation
have made it a staple article of
trade over a large part of the world.
For sale by all druggists.

Old Timer Ed Peck Tells Indian Story.

Balaklala copper stock has been
under selling all the way from $40 to
Sc, and the selling has originated
largely from New York. We under
stand that the selling was due to the
over-extension of some of the largest
stockholders, but this does not refer
to the Guggenheims, who claim not
to have sold a share of their block of
10, 900 shares. Recent weakness in
the stock is probably based upon the
fact that some new financing is
necessary In the near future. The
smelter cost considerably more than
originally estimated. The blowing
in of the smelter is believed to be
somewhat dependent upon the raising
of new money necessary for working
capital. Just how it will be raised is
problematical, possibly by bonds, but
more likely just at this time by short
term notes. 1t will require at least
100000 to complete construction
work and provide working capital.
The distribution of some large blocks
of stock by New York interests has
added about 2000 stockholders to the
the list, and the stock is now very
widely scattered. 1t is estimated
that Balaklala can earn 81 per share
per annum on 15-cent copper.

Tucson FaYOrs Arizona Leaeue.

When the managers of the various
ball teams are in the city for the
baseball tournament in October, sug-
gests the Tucson Star, it would be an
opportune time to take up the ques-
tion of forming an Arizona circuit or
league.
There are number of towns in the
southern part of the territory that
could be included that are close
enough together so that the jumps
would not be too far; for instance,
Phoenix, Yuma, Tucson, Douglas,
Cananea ard Bisbee.
All of the above places have en-
closed grounds where games could be
pulled off and with the present en-
thusiasm that is prevailing through
out the territory, there is no doubt
but what the receipts of the games
would pay the expenses of the
league.
Phoenix is preparing to have a
team made up of coast league play
ers for the winter, and so is Yuma.
Douglas has the Midland team, which
are not so slow. Bisbee will have the
team from Webb City, Mo. Cananea
is strong enough as it lines up, while
Tucson this winter will be able to
put up a team that will hold her
down with the remainder.
There is no reason why winter
season of baseball cannot be ar
ranged. The weather will permit it
at Phoenix the year around and
there is no doubt but what it can be
made a success.
An Arizona baseball league would
be great thing, but in mentioning
the towns to be represented Clifton
and Morenci were left out. 1t Is a
well known fact that this season is
the first time in five years that Cliff
ton and Morenci have not possessed
the best teams in Arizona and New
Mexico. One reason that these
towns quit playing ball was because
outsiders could not play fast enough
to make things interesting, and the
two towns got tired of playing each
other. In the event of an Arizona
league this section will be interested
and will always be found in the top
notch

Lid to Go On Tight in Yuma.

District Attorney P. T. Roberts on S
latest move in his plan to cleanse the
moral atmosphere of Yuma, by in
sisting on a strict compliance with
the law, is perhaps the most sensa-
tional he has yet made.
Through d written instruction to
the sheriff's Office the district at
torney declares that all forms of
gambling must cease in Yuma,
whether of the kind specifically men,
toned in the "anti-gambling" law or
not. This will hit almost every
saloon in town, as poker and other
games not specifically prohibited by
law are the rule rather than the
exception.
Mr.. Robertson's sweeping letter
follows:
"Dear Sir: Kindly inform all keep
ers of public houses that to permit
gambling of any kind to be carried
on in their place will make of such
places ''disorderly houses" and pub
lie nuisances," and render them
liable to abatement as such, and in
case of saloon keepers render their
licenses liable to forfeiture, and that
from October Bird all forms of gam
bling in saloons and other public
houses must cease. Each proprietor
must be informed that if he wishes
to continue in business he must heed
the above warming.
"This notice becomes imperative
ewing to the fact that many games
not mentioned in the so-called ''anti-
gambling law" and not punishable
under it, have been opened In Yuma
to the detriment of the public good,
and it is reported that minors are
permitted to play thereat. Com
plant has been made to me of the
existence of these games and 1 have
but to demand that they be abated. F"

Arizona Climate and Postage Rates.

Another nice thing about the Ari-
IONA climate not heretofore men
toned, is that one gets more for his
money at the postofice than any
where else, providing his correspond
ents all live in the southwest. If
they live in the east it is different
and it is suggested that if Uncle
Sam does not want to lay himself
liable to the charge of grating on
the people he had better revise his
postage rates, issue a differential
rate for Arizona, or else make it a
rule that whatever gets by the initial
postmaster, goes without interior
ence, right or wrong. Under present
conditions one has no assurance that
his letter will not be held up for post
age at the other end of this line, no
matter how urgent it be, and it is all
on account of the climate.
This is the story. Not long ago
Phoenix business house got out line
of circular letters. The manage
ment thought by sealing the letters
and sending them at first-class post
age rates better results would follow
for prompt delivery would be better
assured and the receivers would give
more heed to sealed letter. Very
properly the company desired to get
all it could out of Uncle Sam who
agrees to carry a letter weighing an
ounce for two cents. These letters
were so devised that when they were
weighed in the postoffice they called
for just exactly two cents each, the
scales being On perfect balance.
Every one of them that went to the
eastern states was beld up for post
age and another stamp had to be
furnished. 1t amounted to a consid-
cradle sum, beside the trouble and
delay. 1t was all on account of the
climate. When the letters reached
the east they absorbed just enough of
the moisture to tip the scales.
This is another victory for the
weather bureau which harps on the
humidity of the eastern atmosphere
and the lack of it in Arizona. Some
people profess not to put a great
deal of stock in the theory but when
it grips their pocketbooks at the
postoffice there is nothing to do but
