Tariff Doubles Prices.

William n. Wood, president OF the
American Wooden company, said a few
days ago In Boston, 1--WE never ran so
little machinery as we are running to-
day, 60 per cent of the machinery In
the company's mills being idle. We are
unable to market our goods, as there
appears TO be the greatest reluctance
about buying"
As the Wooden Trust is tariff pro
tected by 90.30 per cent, which Is the
average rate paid on all manufactured
woolens. according to the report of gov
eminent bureau of statistics for 1906.
1t would seem that the object of the
Dingley law as expressed in its title.
To encourage the Industries of the
United States" has signally failed of
with regard to the
Wooden Trust. The trust is protected,
but the taxed people have no money 10
buy its products. They have to resort
10 such substitutes for woolens as mer
cerlzed cotton and shoddy. The high
tariff rate en- wool makes high prices
for woolens and the tariff protection the
Wooden Trust enjoys, permits it TO add
10 the price of its products nearly 100
per cent.

WAR ON LIQUOR.
How the Railroads Are Enforcing
Temperance Among Employees.

All over the land railroads are frown-
ing more and more upon the use of in
toxicating liquors by employees. A new
chapter is being written in the history
of the remarkable prohibition wave
that is sweeping the country.
The first of the new year $4,000 en-
ployes of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad became total abstainers. A
few weeks later the management of the
Baltimore and Ohio issued an order
prohibiting its employees who had any
thing to do with the running of trains
from using intoxicants whether on or
off duty. Thousands of men were af-
fected by the order. Other railroads
have adopted similar policy until now
it is estimated that nearly 100000
railroad men are living under what
amounts to a practical rule of total
abstinence.
1t would appear that financial insti-
tutions are soon to follow the example
set by the railroads. The Fifth Ave
nue. National bank of New York has is
sued an order forbidding its employees
TO enter saloons or gambling places.
They are also forbidden TO speculate.

lis our Navy Inemcien,s

We have all been proud of our navy
and it seems strange after lavishing so
many millions upon ii that it should be
thought necessary by Admiral Converse
to defend it from the attack of those
who declare it is not equal in efficiency
TO the navies OF other countries. The
admiral declares. "our ships are not in
ferior 10 those in foreign services" We
should hope not. But why are our bat
tleshlps not superior? Why vote mill
ions every year TO build ships that are
not superior: President Roosevelt Is
an ardent advocate of a greater navy.
but ii would seem to be n waste of
money to build more aattleships until
we know that the type is superior 10
those being turned ont by other coun-
tries. Before making any appropria-
tons for more battleships. there should
be an investigation why there is any
need to defend the efficiency Of those
ships already in commission. 1t Is al
legged by some that the committees on
naval affairs OF both houses OF Con-
gress are influenced by lobbyists of
rival constructors and that we are be-
ing swlndled both as to cost and eff.
cheney.

ReDubIIrnn Theory.

The Republican theory of trade, both
domestic and foreign. is based on fall
lacies They believe that If our manu-
facturers are protected by tariff rates
high enough to prevent or retard i'm
portations from foreign countries that
the home market will consume all our
factories can produce. For some little
time this theory seemed to work TO
their satisfaction, but the manufactur-
ers discovered that the high prices pro-
duced by this lack of foreign competi-
ton also had the effect of producing
more manufacturers Mt home to take
advantage of the large profits This
increased competition between manu-
facturers led to the formation of trusts
and combines: so the high tariff be-
came the Mother of Trusts" These
trusts combined or purchased as many
of the establishments In each line of
business as could be induced to sell
or participate, and ut orce increased
prices to the point just below where
foreign competitors could export their
products to compete with the products
Of the trusts. So the price Of trust and
tariff protected products was increased
both by the limitation of competition
a. home and by the prohibition of COM
petition from abroad.
Hence we have had the rise In prices
since the present tariff law was In oper-
alton. The trusts and combines, how
ever. finding their profits so large. were
Induced to manufacrace more than the
American people could consume Mt the
high prices they charged. so they be-

But high prices had naturally produced
Increased cost of manufacture AMI TO

PEELED TO sell there cheaper than TO our
oul people.
For some time the Republicans denied
that American goods were sold cheaper
abroad than here. but the Democrats
produced evidence that proved 1t was
being done, Then the Republicans
changed their ground and declared
that the tarlT-protected trusts were

Democrats produced The evidence in
their campaign book of 1902 that hun

The trusts selling abroad cheaper

WANTS LAND WORTH MILLIONS.
Farmer Starts Suit Against Resi-
dents of Pelham Manor, N. Y.

Edmund c. Jessup, a farmer living in
northern Connecticut, has brought suit
against the holders of 30 acres of land
in Pelham Manor, n. Y, on which are
built the homes of a number of prom
inent New Workers, to recover the prop
erty which he claims belongs to him.
The property is valued at $3,000,000
Jessup's father owned the property and
used it as a farm until he died and
left it to the present plaintiff and his
three sisters. Some years later Jessup
disappeared from home and his sisters,
thinking him dead sold the property,
which has since rapidly gained in
value. The three sisters are now dead
and, neither of them having ever mar
ried, Jessup is the sole heir. His suit
is based on the fact that he owned an
undivided one-fourth of the land and is
now the sole heir of his sisters and that
Ne never consented to the sale of the
property.

TERRoRIzED BY WOLVES.
Large Region in Texas Where They
Have Become a Serious Menace

The ranchmen around Encinal, Tex,
are making desperate effort to Grad
ieate the wolves which infest their
pastures Notwithstanding the fight
which has been waged against them
for many years, their numbers show IN
annual increase. They seem to thrive
with the settling up OF the country.
They are not only a menace to the live
stock. but of late years rabies has
spread among them to an extent that
is alarming.
Many instances are known of the
victim of one of these animals dying
of hydrophohia. Since the establish
ment of a State Hydrophobia Institute
at Austin three years ago more than
100 persons have gone there for treat
ment for mad wolf bites.
The wolves are of the coyote species.
They skulk around at night and kill
young calves and make away with
lambs and kids. Many of the ranch
men have hunters constantly employed
to kill the wolves, wildcats and other
depredating wild animals. This method
of eradication is slow and very ex-
pensive
Mad wolves are such a menace TO
the section that many ranchmen have
built corrals around their homes as
means of protection for their wives and
children against attack by the animals.
When afflicted with the rabies a coy
ote does not hesitate TO enter the open
door of a house or go boldly into a
camp where men are sleeping and at
tack whomsoever they happen to run
across.
The coyote when suffering from an
attack of hydrophoba will attack and
bite full-grown cattle The bite pro-
duces rabies i'll the cattle and the
losses of live stock from this cause are
considerable. 1t is very dangerous to
