CONSUMPTION OF MEAT.

capacity OF The working classes is high.
tf3SSFG 1t is matter OF surprise. therefore,
l&SG<4Sy3 find, in late government report that the
United States far exceeds all other coun-
tries except those of Australia in per pita meat
sumption. Cuba stands third the list
The consumption in this country to almost
exactly half pound daily fer each person1S5 pounds
year. That Great Britain is onehird less, and the
amount dminshes in several European countries down
third much that of the United States.
Australia is great grazing country. meat is cheap,
and the inhabitants will nothing but the choicest of
tralasia almost three-quarers of a pound
mate requires that meat be eaten the day the
animal is killed The high figures. therefore, include
very large proportion OF waste.
Fegearans will derive comfort the report that
meat consumption in the United States has declined
about two-ifths since 1910. There sudden in
in 1890 but since then the decline has been
pronounced The reason for this is the introduction
rather the ceapening and the rendering accessible
of other energy producing foods especially sugar. the
consumption of which has increased since 1910 from
fourteen pounds TO the individual than seventy
six pounds.
OF the meat produced in the United States about
eighth is exported. The magnitude of the industry

which it represents is than ten and half billion

How Labor Is Protected.

1t is true that the tariff is not a di-
rect tax upon imported labor, but it is
a tax on the imported products of la
bor While the tax does not touch the
immigrant laborer as he sets foot on
our shores, the fact remains that this
laborer must live here in order to make
his labor competitive with the exist
ing labor supply. He must live with
US and live as we live; must become a
liberal consumer of what other labor
produces. That is where the tariff pro-
tects labor

Under existing conditions in the
money market and in the industrial
world what would be thought of the
man who, having the power to do it,
should bring about an all-round reduc-
ton Of the tariff? He would be de-
nounced on all sides as an enemy of
his country. Yet the ''stand-patters"
have been abused like pickpockets for
demonstrating against tariff disturb
ance that would unfailingly unsettle

PO1iC0| Comment.
Congress and the Currency.

It Is now certain that Congress viii
make no attempt at rushing" currency
Legislation. The respective committees
Of the two houses will take time to con-
slider the various pending proposals
and evolve a measure that, 1t Is to be
hoped, will merit general approval.
The correspondents have sufficiently
sounded congressional sentiment to feel
safe in predicting that nothing 'radi-
cal' will be done What Is important,
however, is that the thing that is final
ly done shall embody the lessons Of the
recent crisis and be sufficient to pre-
vent similar disastrous experiences in
the future.
Neither the President nor Secretary
Cortelyou has sub,aitted a specific
scheme to Congress. Both deemed it
more important to state the problem
correctly, to emphasize the defec- in
our currency system that can no longer
be tolerated or ignored, than to adyo-
cate concrete remedy.
The President recommended provi-
sion for an emergency currency" based
on adequate securities and subject to
a tax heavy enough to insure its retire
ment upon the return of fairly normal
business and financial conditions. What
the tax should be to prevent imitation,
and what classes of securities other
than government bond would be safe
and proper as a basis for the emer-
gency issues, the President leaves TO
Congress to determine.
Secretary Cortelyou, deeming 1t
probable that Congress will not at once
overhaul and modernize the entire cur
rency system in accordance with the
advocates Of either the regular asset
currency plan or the central bank
scheme, suggests, as an alternative,
some measure that would impart "a
greater elasticity TO the currency" un-
der government guaranty-"some
ation."
Mr.. Cortelyou intimates, however,
that the desire to avoid radicalism and
complexity win not excuse needless
delay. Promptness Of action, he well
says, Is as desirable as simplicity OF
plan The people expect Immediate and
earnest consideration of the currency
problem and some provision for certain.

Humor s- the sIe..age.

Like most OF our Presidents and
presidential candidates, President
Roosevelt steers clear of humor. He is
always earnest and often combatlve,
but If he has any gift of fun-making he
keeps 1t hidden, and though we take
some pride In being the most humorous
people In the world this Is undoubtedly
the safe and sane course. Politicians
who have tried to be as funny as they
,ould have ruined their prospects.
Nevertheless, the late message, which
Is roughly Jumped at 10000 words,
