The growing deficit in the national
Treasury, due to shrinkage In receipts
as the result of the Roosevelt panic,
and unprecedented extravagance in ex-
pendltures, has produced the perfectly
normal result of a proposed increase in
taxation.
1t is proposed TO put duty on coffee
Of 3 cents q pound, a purely revenue
measure out of all harmony with the
Republican idea Of tariff for protec-
ton. with revenue as an incident. An
other proposition is for tax stamps on
commercial paper, characteristic Re
publican method of getting money. In
any way that is easy.
Obviously, IL there Is deficit In the
Treasury, and 1t Is increasing. the gov
eminent must have money, but the
Democrats may congratulate themselves
that they avoided the responsibilities
that Republican extravaganza has pro-
duced. No better demonstration Of In
ability to conduct public affairs has
ever been offered. And yet we shall
hear at the end of a year that the pro-
posed revision of the tariff caused the
shrinkage in revenue and the conse-
quent deficit, and that the revision OF
the tariff corrected the trouble.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1908-12-10

A number OF men were telling OF re-
markable catches of Atlantic City, and
one OF them said that one day he
caught very small cod, and, not car
ing TO take home such little fellow,
he took piece of copper wire, ran it
through the tail of the fish, and on one
end of the wire he attached a copper
tag with his name scratched upon It.
The next year when i was or there"
continued the man, Il got a heavy pull
on the line. and after five minutes
fighting landed q twelve pound cod,
and there on its tail was my tag
THAT reminds me of a similar ex-
perience off there said another man.
Il caught one of those small cod, and
/ wanted 10 hang some sort of identit-
cation on IL, but / couldn't find any
thing In the copper tag line from one
end OF the boat to the other. l did
find, however, little tin whistle h
one of my pockets, and. running a wire
through the tail OF the fish. hung on
the whistle and threw the cod back
into the water
THE following year i got a most Pc
cullar bite on my hook. and after pull
ing in the line I got the surprise OF my
life. There was the sane little cod

on his tail was long fog horn

The Reyisian VIII 10 Fair

On the question Of the adjustment
Of the tariff to the new conditions the
words Of the platform Of 1908 were
plain. The Republican party de
clares unequivocally for the revision
II the tariff by a special session Of
Congi ess Immediately following the
Inauguration Of the next President"
and adds that ''ln all tariff legislation
the true principle Of protection is best
maintained by the imposition of such
duties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost Of production at home
and abroad. together with n reason
able profit to American industries" the
object of the Republican policy being
not only 10 preserve. without excessive
duties, that security against foreign
competition to which American manu-
facturers, farmers and producers are
entitled, but also to maintain the high
standard of living Of the wage earners
Of the country" Every Republican
favors this procurement The coun-
try has good reason To assume that the
Republican promise will be carried out,
In spirit and in letter. SO far as has
been learned, no Republican Is opposed
to this platform pledge. 1t was incor-
porated in the platform after careful
thought. The Resolutions Committee
at Chicago discussed it, In all its bear
ings, before giving it their Endorsement.
When the convention accepted II, no.
body said or thought that it would
arouse any opposition in the party.

and injury to the importing and domes-
tic interests alike; and every revision
upward I'm the. interest OF the producer
has benefited home and foreign trade
alike. Investigation by the bureau Of
labor statistics has revealed facts and
figures that point unerringly TO the cor
rectness of the position of the Re-
publican party upon the question Of the
tariff. 1t is shown that under a suffi-
GENTLY full protective tariff, work and
wages increase faster than do prices OF
needed commodities. Scarcity Of work
and low wages cannot be compensated
for by lower prices for the food and
things we need. If this had been true
the panic of 1893 would have been

The American Knew Little About
shakespeare and English.
An English literary man who visited
this country some years ago TO lecture
frankly declared that he came not ex-
pecting to find accurate scholarship
among Americans, especially on purely
literary subjects, adding affably:
You have been too busy and useful
a nation In practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
learning
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd, "as, for example"
he said. Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleaye of clre' How ridiculous
to figure sleep as knitting up a torn
sleeve of coat"
a young American sitting near hin
said modestly: Il think the word is
not sleeve, but sleave. the thin fluff OF
n damaged web. 1t is a technical ex.
preston among weavers."
In the United States probably re
torted the critic irritably. Shakespeare
never coui1 have heard it. He meant
sleeve"
Il believe" persisted the American
gently, 1.-The word is printed sleave in
all the old editions. Ii is not an Amer
lean word, but has been used for cen.

RARE OLD INSTRUMENTS FOUND.

V,.ltu with MellOyvness of 400 Years
discovered I'm Los Angeles.
There was unearthed in Los Angeles
little while ago a wonderful violin,
which Is pronounced just In Its prime
by experts, although 1t Is almost 400
years old, says the Los Angeles Times.
This rare instrument. which was
made In 1915, Is an absolutely perfect

foprugear, who is said to have come
from Spain, and who, according to an
tiquarians. was the first man to give
the violin It's present shape and pro-
ductive qualities. He belongs TO an
age so long past that most musicians
have never even heard his name. Strad-
lyarius and other master makers of his
period are generally considered the plo-
neers In fine violin manufacture, but
their grandfathers had not been born
when Duiffoprugear lay peacefully in
his grave.
This violin is the property of w. Ii.

daughter, Daisy, has more than ordi
nary ability, and through her perform
ance her father has derived an interest

Among his acquaintance Is maker
and member. who in some way had
come into possession OF the old instru-
ment but il was broken and could not
be mended, he thought, So that its tone
would be pure SO he sold ii To Mr.
Brown for $50.
Mr.. Brown had ii repaired In accord
ance with his own Ideas and when the
work was completed carried il to n
well-known musician. who owns n
splendid Stradiyarius. The soloist
tucked the Duiffoprugear under his
chin, drew one rich, pulsating chord
from it and stopped In amaZement.
Other local musicians say that the SUI

most remarkable violin voice to which
they have ever listened
