Madrid. Dec. 1.-THE cultivation

The tobacco monopoly is held by
the Compan Arrandataria Tabacos,
for which IL pays the government,

EHbuaf selling tobacco,

monopoly somet%o years ago began
to purchase Brazilian tobacco at
Hamburg and Bremen. in order to
replace. little by little the American
product. when is formerly purchas-
ed in the I'm ted States AMI other
markets. 1t is now sad that the
monopoly is thinking of forming. in
conjunction with other tobacco
purchasing countries trust to low
eer the price of American tobacco
in other markets. Tobacco is one
OF the principal expor from the

ILL" a DISTINGUISHED, IL
NOT AN "EXTINGUISHED" Wis.
ITOR AT THE CAPITAL.

The prediction madc immediate
ly after election that Pres dent-eloct
raft would have the most friction
iess administration OF any chief ex-
ecutlve in, recent history gives
promise OF fu fllment. Two weeks
ago II seemed absolutely imposs be
that he could avoid conflict with the
'reactionary" forces Of the hodse OF
representatives, but today the IRE
actionaries' are eating out OF the
hand of the man who will be pres
dent after March 4.
NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHY
Just how it was brought about no
man can quite say but Taft has re-
&c we'd assurances that an honest ef-
fort will be made to give the coun-
try what it wants in the way of tar
N legislation, and he is satisfied the
assurances are given la good faith.
1t has been thus aith every knot
t. problem Taft has ever tackled.
In the Phil pEines, in Cuba and at
Panama apparently irreconcilable
differences have been Immediately
reconclled, and the adjustments al
ways have been along the lines Taft
proposed. No other man in Ameri-
can history has so conspicuously had
this tr@t Of gett ng his own way
and getting it without having to
fight for it.
If Speaker Cannon and the other
Republican leaders, In the house live
up to the understanding they reach
ID with the presidcnt-e,ect and II
W u have to be assumed they intend
to do so, the next four years ought
to see a lot in the way OF legislative
achievement. President Taft ought
to accomplish much more. I'm fact,
than President Roosevelt has been
able o do, for Roosevelt had had to
1ght for everything he has gotten
at the hands Of congress.
RAILROAD RATE AGREEMENTS.
Mr.. Taf; has very comprehen-
siye program OF legislation which he
W Il advocate, and It Is understood
that Speaker Cannon has agreed TO
This program in principle, though
reserylng the right to disagree in
the matter Of details
One Of the things Mr.. Taft has
indicated he viii recommend TO
congress an amendment to the
present law permitting railroads to
agree on ;arin schedules. This rec
cmmendation has been made by
President Roosevelt, but there is
little chance to is being favorably
G nsidered before the cad OF the
Roosevelt admin strauon.
There Is practical unanfmEy
among Republican members Of CON
gress I'm believing that this change
in the law should be made. and there
IS no good reason why such bill
should MOI be put through between
now and the Chr stmas holidays.
The only reason it VIII not be put

Theodore Roosevelt has recommend
