Politics and the Tariff.

The Beveridge plan for adjusting
the tariff to a consistent revenue and
protection basis and !or eliminating
from it the gross favorit!sm 1t now
carries to the trusts and many other
corporations, must commend itself to
every earnest friend Of tariff revision.
This plan is offered by Republican
senator. a man who Is committed TO
the protective tariff doctrine. but who
has frankly noted the faults Of tho
system now In operation. even II he
has not fully stated the evils that
have grown out Of trust eNtortion on
the one hand and trade restriction Oh

MAKES FALSE PLEA
UNTRUE STATEMENT IN MANILA
DAILY BULLETIN.
BY Inference the Absurd Claim 10
Made That Hollands Sugar Tar
IN 10 for the Benefit Of
Javan Planters,

Now comes the anniversary number
Of the Manila Daily Bulletin, with q
fresh plea for sympathy. They would
have us believe that the sugar plant
ers of the nearby island of Java enjoy
trade privileges with their benevolent
mother country, Holland, which the
hard hearted United States refuses to
extend to the Philippines. The state
ments made. and the inferences TO be
drawn from them, would lead us to
conclude that Holland maintains tar.
iff on foreign sugar for the benefit OF
Javan sugars. which are admitted free
OF duty, and that in this way the bulk
OF the Javan product 10 marketed In
Holland at such good figures as to ma.
terially help out the Jayan planters on
the little surplus they are obliged to
sell at lower prices TO duty-imposing
countries. The Bulletin says:
The handicap OF remoteness from
the great markets of Europe and
America affect us far more seriously
than 1t does equally remote Java. That
country at least has the advantage Of
free entry Of her mother country's
consumption at prices which enable
her to equalze on the surplus which
she sends TO duty.imposing countries"
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The state department gives the
Holland tariff on sugar imports as
si92 per 100 pounds. and in reply to
an inquiry as to how the various Eu.
ropean nations treat their colonial
sugars, the Hon. Elihu Root, secretary
of state. writes:
"In reply to your letter OF the 20th
inst, I have the honor to inclose
statement, prepared In this depart
ment. OF the customs duties imposed
on importations of various grades OF
sugar by England. France. Germany,
Russia, Austria. Hungary. Holland,
Belgium. Spain and Italy. respectively.
and to inform you that none of the
countries named therein. with the sole
exception OF France. gives preferential
treatment TO sugar arriving at the Gus.
tom houses OF the home country from
its colonies"
This gives the lie to every statement
above quoted from the Bulletin, and
every inference that can be drawn
from It.
Holland levies a high tariff on sugar
imports, not for the benefit of the
Javan planter, as the Bulletin would
have us suppose. but to protect the
Holland sugar-beet raiser who sup
| plies hundreds of thousands of tons OF
| beets to the 80 Netherlands beet
sugar factories. In 1900 these fac.
tories not only produced the sugar
consumed In Holland. but they eX.
ported nearly 4O0.OO00O0 pounds OF
sugar to other countries In that year.
out OF total OF over 100000 tons ex.
ported from Java, Holland absorbed
but l6G tons, or less than one-third Of
one per cent of the Javan exports and
on every ton there was collected the
full duty.
II Holland had paid $1,000 a ton
bounty on the lGG tons OF Javan sugar
she imported It would have added less
than one cent per hundred on the total
Javan sugar exports. and Il is plain %
be seen that even this huge sum would
have no appreciable effect "on the eur
plus which she sends TO duty.impOsing

Standard Road Section.

roads in Massachusetts built OF broken
field stones and In use for ten OF
twelve years on which little or no
surface repairs have been needed. III
the first case mentioned II was prob
ably mistake to have used the mac.
adam type of surfacing. Vitrifed paw.
ing brick, or possibly blocks of gran.
ite or some other hard material,
would have more nearly suited the
conditions. In the latter case the field
stones have served their purpose ad'
mirably. though some Of the roads
could and probably would have been
built OF gravel had that material been
obtainable at a reasonable cost.
II was formerly held that the mac.
adam surface should be restored an
nually TO its original thickness. Doubt
less this practice was excellent, so
far as the condition OF the roads was
concerned, but such annual restoration
is costly. The present practice is to
keep the surface always smooth. to
fill any small holes or incipient ruts
which may appear. but 10 do no re.
surtacing until the stones have worn
down at least to the lower stratum OF
the macadam. Too often the resurfac.
ing is delayed longer than economi.
cal considerations will justify.
BY the time the upper course has
been worn through the road is usual.
ly more or less out of shape. As be
fore stated, most of the wear Is near
the middle of the road. The sides tend
10 build up as the center wears down.
When the road is in this condition II
should be reSurfaced with the best
stone which is available. II should
not be necessary TO put on more than
three inches in the center, and the
stone AT the sides may be spread as
thinly as is possible
Only relatively small part Of the
resuriaclnE cost 10 included I'm the
annual cost per mile above stated, but
II 10 believed that an expenditure OF
not exceeding 5000 per mile per year
should be the maximum amount neces
sary TO provide for both ordinary and
extrao' dinary repairs.

MAcADAM IN COUNTRY.
Cost Of Maintenance Is Not High "
Work Is Done Right.

Someone has said that the mainten.
ancc of a macadam road should begin
on the day the road is completed. In
a sense this statement is not far from
the truth. II is usually not necessary
to do much TO the macadam surface
for year or two. but the cutters,
catch basins and culverts must be
kept clean. the weeds along the road.
sides cut or. preferably. pulled out by
shoulders and on the slopes filled be-
fore they become too large.
II is quite possible. particularly II
the road was built in the fall OF the
year and trap rock was used. that
loose stones will appear on the surface
the first spring after the road is
opened to travel These need not
alarm the road official They should
he picked up and stacked for future
use. II is astonishing how a few
loose stones on the surface Of a mac.
adam road will have the appearance
Of a great number. SO that the unin.
formed always think. and frequently
state. that the road is going to pieces.
II is a fact that often such stones will
disappear into the macadam after the
first rain.
or course the macaiam will become
worn in time and need repair. No
one can state accurately how much OF
the maCadam surface will wear OF in
a given time. The dictum. heard so
often. that the macadam will wear
down e.half inch In a years use is
a fallacy. The length OF life of a
properly built macadam road depends
especially upon the volume and kind
of traffic over II. the quality Of the
stone Of which it is composed and
It's peculiar fitness TO resist the wear
to which It is subjected and also upon
the climatic conditions OF the locality.

MONTHS EXPORTS ARE LARGE.
Sure Sign That Business Recovery 10
Well on the Way.

The exports Of merchandise from
the United States in the month OF
January this year exceeded in value
the exports Of any previous January
and Of any previous month. with only
two o. three exceptions. From this
port the January exports, nearly $12,.
100000 in value. were greater by more
than one.half than In January, 1907.
The largest percentage of increase
was in wheat and wheat -four and in
cotton. and these are the leading items
in the general export statement.
Wheat and cotton are the two great
staples of international exchange be-
tween this country and Europe. While
they flow only in one direction, the
volume OF the outflow is determined
not alone by the immediate supply and
demand. but by the commercial and
financial relations between the coun.
tries concerned. When we have bal.
ances to settle abroad, II Is question
OF the most economical medium Of ex.
change. That there has been a sudden
export demand for wheat and cotton
indicates that the prices are low
enough, IN the slackened demand at
home, 20 make their expectation
profitable.
The cheering Inference from this Is
that the country is discharging its for
eign obligations in agricultural prod.
ucts. This draws any accumulated
stores into the market and helps to
modify the depreciation In prices; ulti-
mately the value OF these products
comes into the hands Of the producers,
who arc. in turn. the buyers and con
sumers of other domestic products
Thus. even an export trade that, in IT.
self. may be only an adjustment Of bal
ances without profit to the country, Ia
nevertheless. inseparably linked with
other business activities. In this as
pect the large increase In exports fol
| lowing upon the recent panic Is one
sign of the natural process OF recov
| cry. II is necessarily n slow and grad
ual process. In which an adjustment
OF prices and careful economics are
essential The recovery cannot be
forced. but II may be helped by recog
mixing the signs as they appear-Phil

DAMAGE Done by Rats,

THE western farmer is waking up
to a realization Of the fact that he
is, as the agricultural department told
him some time ago, losing not less
than sl00,000.000 a year from rats"
says j. II. Van Burden. a Milwaukee
grain merchant. 1T costs about so
this because we have boxed them up
and fed them as much grain as they
would eat for year 1t is a conserva-
tive estimate to place our rat popula,

OF them live in the large cities. where
they do not get so much grain"

most satisfactory solutions Of the

and the farmer who adopts modern
methods is alive TO his own interests.
The gas engine. says the Rural New
