SECRETARY TAFT's SPEECH.

Secretary Taft did a good deal of
talking, but failed to say anything i'm
pressively interesting in his speech at
New York Friday evening The ad-
dress bore evidences of careful prepa-
ration. supervision and revision. The
secretary declared that criminal COM
binations of capital should be re-
strained. which everybody knew. He
said that violence and intimidation on
the part of labor unions and their mis-
guided sympathizers should be COM
demned. and there is nothing particu-
larry new about that sentiment
Judge Taft declared that labor
unions have a right to strike, indivi-
dually and collectively, that they have
a right to use peaceful methods in
persuading strike breakers not to take
their places, and that it is as much
the duty of the police and other peace
officers to protect them in these rights
as it is to protect the property and
other rights of the employers That
is fair enough speaking, but it has
been said SO often before by Judge
Tafts chief hacker in the presidential
race that it has lost a lot of its flavor
Nh ROOseVelt,s candidate declined 10
be drawn into a discussion of the
ance TO the country at this time. and
all the time. In answer TO a question
as to whether or not an industrial sit
uation based on the tariff is false
situation, the secretary contented him
self with saying that if the tariff was
aboE~hed now there would be no BUSH
ness at all. He added that he would
not discuss the question at present.
Yet the country would like very much
to know Judge Taft's views on the
tariff.
His statement that if there were no
tariff there would be no business is. of
course. an absurdity. The only possi-
bic inference from it, however, is that
J is a high protectionist. and that, if
nominated and elected. he would use
his influence towards the maintenance
of the existing schedules. The secre-
tary also declined TO go into the
Brownsville business, which must
seem to the average observer rather
cowardly. His excuse was that the
matter is now before a senate commit
tee and there has been no discussion
of it in the senate. We cannot for the
life OF US see why Judge Taft should
wait until the senate begins talking
about the affair unless he wants to
make his opinion coincide with the
opinion Of a majority of the senate
It can hardly be said that Secretary
Taft made much Roadway in his presi-
Dental compaign by his speech of Fri
day night.

the confidence of American consumers
in the maintenance of prices on all
steel products, what does most to dis
credit the claim that the existence of
the Steel corporation is benefit to the
American public. what does most to
expose the sham in the claims made
as to the cost of iron and steel pro-
duction, what does most to show that
international agreements are likely to
become universal is this dumping of
steel in foreign markets at prices en-
ormously lower than the domestic
rates.
in the effort to dump large ton
mage of sheet bars in England and
Wales the Steel corporation first tried
a cheap trick by offering the steel at
prices somewhat higher than it could
be had from the German syndicate
and threatening if Welsh and English
mills did not accept, to invade their
world markets with American tin
plates and sheets. The threat was not
effective, the foreign mills held a
meeting and agreed to stand pat. The
Steel corporation then came down and
sold the sheet bars at a lower price
than could be done with Welsh or
German mills.
Nothing can do more to discredit
the protective system than such ope-
rations The tariff on such material is
high. yet it is only s6.72. Did not the
Steel corporation tie the foreign buyers
up tightly, and did not the latter know
that if they resOld their shipments
would be stopped very promptly, they
could load these bars back on to the
cars and ship them to the United
States at a profit after paying trans
portation charges The cheap plea of
keeping mills going and employing Ia
Dor through these exports is an insult
to the intelligence of the American
public"
The answer to the problem here pre-
scented is not so far distant as to be
beyond the human vision. 1t is: Abol-
ish the tariff on tinplate bars and
other manufactured steel products. In
no other way can the American con-
sumer be placed on an equal footing
with his foreign competitor. The
American tinplate industry may have
been an infant industry once, it may
have needed protection once But it is
an infant industry no longer, and no
longer should it be protected

oE SULLIVAN.

Unless the local officers are badly
mistaken. the suspect under arrest in
Portland is James Sullivan, the thug
who murdered PatrOlman Ford in this
city some weeks ago. Warden Pratt
and other prison officials who exam
med the photographs OF the Portland
suspect and who saw Sullivan every
day for the five years he was confined
i'm the penitentiary are sure the right
man has been caught. They do not
see ow they can be mistaken, and
The Herald sincerely hopes they are
not mistaken.
Chief of Police Pitt sent two officers
for Sullivan last night 1t was a wise
precaution to send the extra man, for
sullivan is as desperate a criminal as
ever infested a community. II would
not have done to take any chances on
his escaping. And it is greatly TO be
hoped that if ne does make an attempt
to escape he will be promptly and
mercilessly shot down. 1t would be
much better. however. To bring him
back TO Utah and subject him to the
due processes of the law.
We do not see how Sullivan, if the
suspect at Portland proves to. be he.
can possibly escape the extreme penal
y of the law. Even if he did not fire
the fatal shot. and the chances are de
cidedly. if we may judge by his record.

he had fired it. for he was a party to

No maudlin sentiment, no misdirected
sympathy, should be interposed be-
tween him and the execution he so
thoroughly merits.
And in passing The Herald ventures
to express the hope that the judge be-
fore whom Sullivan is tried will ap-
point an able member of the bar TO
defend him. Let us make excuses for

TARIFF SCANDAL.

Another scandal Of the tariff persua-
sion has come TO light. 1t had its
beginning in Pittsburg. the home OF
the tariff-protected steel monopoly, and
in tracing out its finish one must go
over TO Wales. where there are many
tinplate makers. The United States
Steel corporation. better known as the
steel trust. is the beneficiary 1t de-
veiops that this trust is selling tin
plate bars to Welsh manufacturers at
lower figures than the same product is
sold TO American manufacturers. the
gross difference in favor Of the Welsh
being only a little less than $12. while
the net difference is about s. per ton.
Reduced TO figures, the showing is
made that the Welsh buy tinpIate bars
at $3.50 per ton. f. o. b. Pittsburg. The
freight charges for transporting the
bars to Wales amount to $I.IO per ton.
bringing the total cost to the Welsh
manufacturer up 10 S2l 80. For ex-
actIy the same product the American
manufacturer is required TO pay S29
per ton. T. o. b. Pittsburg. BY the
time he gets it TO his factory it has
cost him not less than $30sper ton. and
IN some Instances more.

ways ranked as one OF the most ra-
bidly protectionist trade papers in the

tice and comments thus:
