The Tariff Plank.

THE republican party declares I'M
equivocally for revision OF the tariff
by a special session of congress imme-
diately following the inauguration of
the next president. and commends the
steps already taken to this end in the
work assigned to the appropriate com
mittees of the two houses, which are
now investigating the operation and
effect of existing schedules. In all
tariff legislation the true principle OF
protection is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of pro
duction at home and abroad. together
with a reasonable profit to American
industries. and the benefits that follow
are best secured by the establishment
of maximum and minimum rates,
which shall be applied automatically
to the trade of other countries in &C
cordance with their treatment of our
trade. The minimum should repre-
sent the normal measure of protection
required for the benefit of our own in
dustries. The aim and purpose of the
republican policy is not only to pre-
serve, without excessive duties that Sc
curity against foreign competition to
which American manufacturers, farm
ers and producers are entitled, but al
so to maintain the high standards of
living of the wage earners of the cOun-
try, who are the most direct beneficial
res of the protective system. Be
tween the United States and the Philip
pines we believe in a free interchange
of products. with such limitations as to
sugar and tobacco as will avoid injury
to domestic interests.
Plank on Railroads.
The exact text of the plank in the re-
publican platform prepared by Wade
Ellis and approved by President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft. relating to
railroads. is as follows:
I'VE apyfove the enactment of a
railroad rate law and a vigorous en-
forcement of the present administra-
ton of the statutes against rebates
and determinations. as a result of
which the advantages formerly possess
ed by the larger over the smaller ship
per nave SUBSTANTIALLY disappeared. IN
this connection we commend the ap-
preparation of $40. -, by the present
congress in order to enable the inter
state commerce commission to thor
oughly investigate and give publicity
to the accounts of interstate roads.
We believe. however. that the in
terstate commerce law should be fur
Their amended so as to give railroads
the right to make and publish traffic
agreements. hut maintaining always
the principle of competition between
naturally competing lines and avoid
ing the common control of such lines
by any means whatsoever. and we es-
pecially favor the enactment of such
! legislation as will provide for federal
restriction against the oyer-issue of
stocks and bonds by interstate car

How Germany Builds a Navy.

While appropriations for the United
States navy have been more or less buff
feted about in committee and on the
floors of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives we have had in recent years
a very conspicuous example of the bene
fetal results accruing from continuous
such as that at present under way in the
German empire Beginning with 1898
the Germans have been acting on def
mite program worked out for several
years in advance. 1t has been known
far ahead of the time of beginning con-
struction just how many vessels of the
various classes were to be laid down each
year, although later acts have much
increased the numbers and sizes. The
act of 1898 contemplated the acquisition
of a navy including twenty battleships.
eight coast defenders. twelve large and
twenty-nine small cruisers, besides six
destroyers to be laid down annually.
This total included number of ships
already In existence, and work was pros
ecuted on the others at the rate of two
or three large ships each year. In 1900
supplementary act increased the bat
tleships to thirty-eight, the large cruisers
| to fourteen. and the small cruisers to
| hirty-eight. In 1906 the large cruisers
were increased to twenty, and the de-
| stroyers to be laid down each year were
raised from six to twelve. In 1907 the
active life of all vessels was declared
decreased to twenty years, after which
| new construction would fill the place of
| each vessel SO retired. without such con-
! struction being included in the regular
| list for additions to the navy.

Kings Frugal Luncheon.
From NJ. A. P.

The King Of Italy has very frugal
habits, and on one occasion when out
hunting his love Of simplicity led to an
amusing incident. The king was quite
alone, and after walking about for some
time without obtaining any sport he was
at last lucky enough to shoot fine
ohamois.
A peasant boy who had seen the animal
fall into a chasm offered to fetch its
carcass for King Victor, although he had
no idea of the identity of the sportsman.
VERY WE'LL" said his majesty, Il will
wait here" But what will YOU give
me, signor?" asked the lad. What do
you want?" said the king. smiling. "On.
a franc and half your luncheon" replied
the lad. The bargain was struck and
the boy went off down the mountain side
and soon returned with the body OF the
channels.
The king gave him a franc. and then
proceeded to divide his lunch fnso two
equal portions; but the peasant. wnen
he saw what King Victor had 70 eat

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, October 24.-The new program
Of the German Navy League, calling for
the construction OF six ''invincible' cruis-
ers several years earlier than is con-
templated in the existing navy bill Q8l5
to 1920. is the preliminary Of a new
bill which the government will submit to
the reichstag not later than 1910.
The governments proposal will also
incorporate the navy leagues plan for in
creasing the effectiveness Of the reserve
feet by keeping all ships OF the reserve
manned with crews consisting of one-half
of men on active service and one-half Of
reservists.
The new executive OF the nery league
is in full accord with the views OF the
imperial admiralty. Its future propa-
ganda will therefore practically amount
to the education" OF public opinion re-
garding the governments own plans.
The program formulated by the German
Navy League Is as follows:
l. The immediate construction Of six
large armored cruisers OF Invincible or
Indomitable class to replace six protected
cruisers. Under the present navy act the
six protected cruisers would not be re-
placed till the years 1912-17.
2. The increase OF the high sea fleet
from sixteen to seventeen.
3. The provision of half crews for the
seventeen battleships Of the German re-
serve fleet instead OF for only six bat
tleships in that fleet. as at present.
The addition of six Indomitables would
necessarily mean an enormous increase
in the fighting strength Of the German
fleet, since these vessels are In every
thing but name extremely fast and pow
erful battleships. The cost OF the six
would be about $50 200 600. but the navy
league urges that, since money has to be
borrowed to strengthen the German feet.
it is just as easy to float a large loan
as small one.
Additional significance is given to the
leagues demands by the fact that its
present head is Admiral Won Roster. He
replaced Gen. Keim to prevent a split in
the league, and Is unquestionably in
closest touch with the German naval au
thorities since not only was he until two
years ago the officer selected to command
the German fleet in the event OF war.
but also. he Is now the confidential adj
wiser of the German admiralty.
The position of the British and next
strongest navies In ships of the Dread
nought and Indomitable types Is as fol-
lows:

had walking stick made of it, which he
had been in the habit of bringing to the
house and leaving in the cloak room.
There was, he explained, nothing in its
appearance to cause apprehension, but 1t
needed to be closely watched. He meant
that the cordite, not the stick, needed
watching: but with the knowledge thus
given to the house, members are unlikely
to NEEDLE with the walking sticks of the
war secretary.
Another extraordinary walking stick
was also associated with a member of the
house of commons who was building for
himself a mansion in a remote country
district. Several times during his visits
Of inspection he CHANGED to notice at the
railway station a substantial walking
stick addressed to the contractor who was
erecting his new house, and, meeting the
contractors clerk one day he asked him
why his employer should send his stick
backward and forward by rail separate
from himself
BY way of answer the clerk. who was
carrying the stick at the time, touched a
spring in it. unscreWed cap which then
revealed itself. and then poured out from
the hollow interior quite 910O in gold.
The stick was, the clerk explained, used
to bring down the weekly wages of the
builders men. there being no bank at
hand where the coin could be conveniently
obtained. The stick only cost trifle
for carriage, and the money had never
