Owners association, the Citizens Al
lance of Colorado and the Pinkerton
detective agency as laying a founda-
ton for the evidence introduced by

against Haywood and his co-defend-
ants is the outcome of a conspiracy to
eXterminate the federation.

Easy to See.

Evidently the Buffalo Express has
not read the German agreement:
ITO all appearances the tariff con-
cessions made to Germany followed
strictly the provisions of the Ding
ley law, and the great difficulty in
reaching a reciprocal agreement was
that the Dingley law restricted con-
cessions within such narrow limits.
1t is hard to see how the American
Protective Tariff league expects to
show any violation OF the law"
Upon reading the agreement the Elk.
press will discover that its most i'm
portant provisions are utterly outside
of the Dingley law, and a comparison
of paragraph A of the diplomatic note
accompanying and forming a part of
the agreement with section 10 of the
customs administrative act will show
how completely law of congress has
been nullified. Then it will not be

"FLARfBACK' CAUSED EXPLOSION

Washington, d. C-By a process
of elimination the naval board which
has been investigating the accident
whereby the men in the turret of the
battleship Georgia lost their lives has
arrived at the conclusion that de

phe. In one sense the verdict is re-
ceived with sense of relief by naval
officers because 1t showed that they

tend with. They had experienced

WHY TAMPER WITH IT7
Changes In Tariff Law Can Be of No
Benefit.

The present agitation for tariff re-
vision all comes from Democratic
sources. Many uniformed Repub-
licans have been caught by the cry,
and a few leaders, mistaking the
howl for the Democratic coyotes for
the voice of the people, have Joined
the opposition in demanding a change.
No one, of course, will question the
fact that many of the schedules have
become more or less obsolete in the
ten years in which they have been in
operation, but tile justice or injustice
of duties on certain articles is not by
any means the sole consideration in
the question of Tariff revision.
The effect on business conditions
the country over and the impossible
ity of securing any schedule that will
be just to everybody are matters that
must never be lost sight of AS to
the first of these, it is a wellknown
fact to all who have followed the
economic history of our country that
the opening up of the tariff question
inevitably gives business a serious
setback, regardles of whether the re-
vision be good or bad
The other consideration is one of
equal Importance. There are so
many interests at stake and pressure
of such nature is brought to bear
on the members of 10th houses. that
it is impossible to secure law which
does not involve many injustices.
The country is to-day prosperous
and happy. The protective tariff is
furnishing employment to the Amer
lean workingman instead of giving
the job to the foreigner Then why
tamper with a law that is bringing
about good results and take chances
of upsetting the business of the coun-
try and securing in the end law

pennsylvania newspaper, the
Scranton Tribune, in commenting on
the statement made by the American
Economist regarding the increase of
wages of the silk and dye houses of
Paterson, affecting about 5000 men
with weekly wages ranging from $40
to $40, makes some pertinent remarks
upon the question of the effect tariff
tinkering would have on wages. The
Tribune says:
Would these advances in wages
occur If the tariff were now in course
of revision, or even if definite date
for taking up revision had been agreed
upon? Certainly not.
Would the wage increases be grant
ed If reciprocity treaties had been
concluded, or were in course of nego-
tiation by which tariff reduction on
silk goods was conceded in favor of
imports from France and Germany?
No; there would be no increases but
decreases of wages. Just as surely as
the tariff is revised downward by di-
rect reduction or by reciprocity con-
cessions. so surely will wages be re-
vised downward in every branch of in
dustry. 1t is well to keep this fact in
mind"
This argument is exactly in line
with what the Journal has always re-
peatedly asserted. The people of New
Jersey encouraged the tariff tinkers
in 1892 and paid dearly for their folly.

Potatoes as Feed For Chickens.

as chicken feed. Those who grow
them for market might find it profit
able to feed the culls to their chickens.
Small sweet potatoes may also be used,
but are more fattening, and should be
used with caution.
The Journal article is as follows:
Potatoes seem to have a bad name,
