TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY.
Phrase Cannot De Accepted at Ita
Face Value.

Senator Hemenway of Indiana is
quoted as follows On the subject Of
next years campaign:
For the first time in sixteen years
the tariff will be the main issue in my
opinion. The corporation problems
have been mostly attended to now,
and, unless some big new issue should
crop up as the result of the next ses-
sion of congress, the tariff will be the
principal topic on the stump. The Re-
publicans will contend that the tariff
should be revised after the inaugura,
ton of the next President in the inter
erests of protection and by the friends
of protection.
The Democrats viii contend that the
tariff should be revised with the idea
Of tariff for revenue only in view. On
that issue | have not the slightest
doubt that the Republicans will be re
turned to power. This is protection.
ist country
a tariff for revenue only" has In
times past led to a good deal of dis
cussion. Until 1894 the phrase was ac-
cepted at its face value. 1t meant the
leyying of no more duties on impOrta-
tions than necessary to carry on the
government economically administer
ed. Such was the explanation offered
by men Of the Carlisle Morrison, Wat.
terson-Mills school of tariff reformers,
who for years had made the land re.
sound with the issue
But whom the Democratic party
~ ith Mr.. Cleveland in the white house,
WAS called upon to put the issue into
Legislative shape it "fell down" with
the task distressingly, and to its own
loss and humiliation The German
Wilson measure proved to be anything
but "a tariff for revenue only" being
stuffed full of duties designed express
ly for protection. Even the bill that
Mr. Cleveland wanted would have car
ried a large amount of calculated pro-
lection.
As the government must have
money 70" its support-no party would
dare put the United States on short
commOns-much importance attaches
to the proposition that the government
be economically administered" Our
expenses at present are not what they
We're in 1854, when Mr.. Cleveland was
first elected, nor what they were in
1892, when he was the second time
elected, on platform carrying de.
mand for "a tariff for revenue only"

spending too much money, where shall

Oxford, Pa-Edward Kauffmann
aged 9 years, was shot and killed
at Nottingham, near here Friday
by his brother Harry. The older
boy recently won revolver on a cane
board at the county fair. Armed with
the weapon he went to meet his
brother on his way home from school
and, pretending to be a highwayman,
he held the little fellow up at the
point of the pistol The weapon was
discharged and the bullet penetrated
young Kauffmann's brain. The brother

OIL TRUST GIVES REBATES
SOME RAILROADS ARE HIGHLY
FAVORED BY THE STANDARD.
The Government Inquiry Into Methods
of the Big Trust Is Resumed at
New York City.

New York City.-That the Ga.
lena Gil Co., a subsidiary of the
Standard Oil Co., controls 81 per cent.
of the lubricating oil business with
the railroads of the United States and
that the prices for its products are
not uniform with all railroads, was
written in the record of Thursdays
hearing of the federal suit against the
So-called oil trust. G.. c. Stenbren.
ner, an accountant for the Galena Co.
told how contracts were made with
railroads whereby they were guaran-
teed maximum cost for the lubricat-
tion of the road, based on mileage for
engines and cars, and when the maxi
mum cost was found at the end of Ger.
tain periods to fall short of the in
voice price, which all railroads paid
when they received the oil the Galena
company made refund of the differ
ence.
From statements compiled from the
Galena Co.'S books, Mr.. Kellogg was
able to show that in some cases the
amount of the refund was nearly 80
per cent of the invoice price. Mr..
Steinbrenner testified that the lubri-
eating all furnished to the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad was sold at loss. The
Galena company fixed the standard
invoice price of valve oil for engines
last year at AZ cents a gallon and Mr..
Kellogg drew from the witness that
the Pennsylvania railroad, after the
refund was deducted, obtained its oil
for "a cents
Mr.. Steinbrenner testified that the
New York Central, Union Pacific, Del
aware & Hudson ard Southern rail
roads paid As cents a gallon, or the
full invoice price, without refund.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad paid
3S cents a gallon, while the Toledo,
Peoria & Western obtained its oil for
% cents Mr. Steinbrenner said that
the fixing of the minimum cost of
fabrication to a railroad was a matter
of hard bargaining.
A letter written by President Miller,
of the Galena company, in 1905, to
Vice President Marony, of the Pitts
burg, Shawmut & Northern railroad,
and placed in evidence, stated that
the Galena company was supplying
971@ per cent. of the total mileage of
the United States, Canada and Mex
leo. One of the railroads that the Ga
lena company did not supply with oil,
Mr. Steinbrenner said, was the Tide
water railroad. owned by Henry II.
Rogers vice president of the Stand
ard Oil Co. The witness said the Ga
lena company had tried to obtain the
contract with the TiGewater railroad.
but had failed.

Foolish TO Force II

That the tariff will some time have
to be revised does not admit of doubt
or of dispute. Every intelligent man
comedies that this time will eventually
come since constantly changing bust
ness conditions will naturally bring it
about but, until that time does arrive.
the party would be very foolish indeed
to undertake to force it. The people
of this country are not slow to express
their preference upon great questions
OF this character and when they be.

may be depended upon to say so in
plain words. Until they so declare
the president will do well to stand pat
as he has evidently decided to do-St.

Ladv Warwick's White Peacock

The agricultural school which II,
Countess of Warwick founded in Esur
ten years ago, and which is to be CLOSED
forthwith on account of lack of SupDo+
was founded for the purpose of sumIv.
ing a sound education to boys and air,
between the ages of II and II who IN,
tended to follow rural pursuits. ThoSa
who know how hard the countess has
worked to make this and similar
schemes a success will understand bpr
keen disappointment.
Outside her work, Lady Warwick find,
chief recreation in her garden and IN
the society of her various pets. Among
the latter must be numbered some syty
peacocKs, which are to be seen aboTt
the grounds at Warwick castle Lady
Warwick takes immense pride in these
birds, and tends them with great care
There is one pure white bird which never
mixes with the others, but stands abot
in splendid isolation"
The oldest man employed on the estate
says his father could not remember the
time when it was not at the castle
which would make it nearly a century
old at least. Although his wonderful
white lace tail is getting very thin h
exhibits no other sign of age, but h
never associates or feeds with the Othe

ice of the desired size. AS he delivered
the ice he thanked the lady, remarking as
he did so that he usually carried hat
pin himself, but thought his wife must
have worn it the day before and forgot
to return it. The circumstance seems
odd, but inquiry disclosed the fact that
