TAKE TARIFF OFF
STEEL AND OIL,
SAYS CARNEGIE
IRoNMAsTER SAYS THESE ARR
NO LONGER INFANT INDUSTRIES
AMERICA WILL SOON OVEN,
SHADOW WORLD.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Andrew Car
negie. the 'ironmasted.' in an article
which will appear in the December
number OF leading magazine. advo-
Gates the abolition of the tarif on
steel and oil. saying these products
are no longer infant industries" MT.
Carnegie's article reads:
The writer has c0-operated In
making several reductions as steel
manufacturers became able TO bear re-
ductions. Today they need no protec-
ton. unless In some new specialties
unknown to the writer. because steel
is now produced cheaper here than
anywhere else. notwithstanding the
higher wages paid
Britain and Germany are the only
important steel manufacturing nations
other than ourselves. / am assured
by one who has recently examined the
matter that he found even In Ger
many today that the cost a ton for
labor was greater than with us. UNI
usually high as our wages are at
present.
THE United States made last year
more steel lover 100000 tons) than
NsSihohy' Dfituiu, anu DCi6luOt
combined. New steel works are under
construction which will produce
enough TO enable her to make more
than the whole world besides. This
she will do within five years, probably
within three. The day has passed
when any foreign country can sers-
ousle affect our steel manufacturers.
tariff or no tariff The republic has
become the home of steel, and this il
the age of tseel.
1T may probably be found that here
exist small manufacturers O; some
| specially in steel, which still needs q
measure OF protection. The writer
hopes, II such there be, the COMMITTEES
will give patient attention TO such
cases.
1T is charged that congress refused
TO place duty upon Illuminating oils.
but by some means a bill was passed
which provided that upon oil from
any country that taxed American oils
! o corresponding tax would be collect.
cd In America upon oils imported
from such country. Russia then taxed
American oils, and our oil producers
enjoy protection from Russian ola,
and the ludicrous spectacle is seen of
each country protecting itself from
importations OF oil from the other.
II all these be true this is clearly not
q case OF genuine protection. II gives
10 each interest a monopoly.
| mo duty Is more imperative upon
! the part OF the honest upholders OF
protection when needed than to purge
the next tariff of every trace of other
than open and honest Legislation,
clearly intended TO shield the masses
! from unfair taxation and thus promote
national prosperity. The oil producers,
like the steel producers OF our coun-
try. need no protection from the
products OF other lands, and the re-
taliatory act should be promptly re-
/ pealed"
He concludes by saying that tariff
for revenue" should be the present
policy instead OF tariff for protection.

KING Ed. PLANS A
/. GARAGE SHAKE-UP
THREE TIMES HE HAS BEEN
DUMPED ON THE ROAD
SIDE.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-For the third
time in the space of one month, one
OF King Edwards motor cars has
broken down on country roads and
caused delay on each occasion oil
over half an hour.
On the last occasion II was pub
licly announced that the king, with
characteristic good humor. sat on 9
bench outside of brewery, and wait
ed half an hour while fresh tire wa.
Icing put on. and that he looked up0r
the AFFAIR as a joke.
AS matter OF fact, his majesty
did nothing of the kind. He was ex
tremely annoyed and used language
which is usually reserved for his head
valet. Moreover, he expressed the de
termination OF setting the royal gar
age in order at once.
The truth Is, that with the exception
Of the head chauffeur. the rest OF the
kings drivers are hopeless amateurs
they are men who have acted as or
binary coachmen in the royal stables
and have gone through short course
of motor car instruction. Very few
of them are expert mechanics, al
though all OF them are skillful drivers
so that they take half an hour to dc
a thing which an expert would do In
FIVE minutes.
The king was advised long ago by
Mr.. Oliver Stanton. the chief royal
instructor. to employ only the bes,
mechanicians, but he was anxious C
give his old stable retainers the chance
of becoming chauffeurs. Now. how
ever. all this is 10 be changed and
the big manufacturers are to be asked
to supply frst-class mechanicians and
drivers TO the king.

TO FIGHT FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
BILLY PAPkE AND STANLEY
KETCHELL TO MEET IN MIL
WAUKEE TONIGHT.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. June At is
estimated that at least $4,000 will
change hands on the result of tOnight's
| 10-round battle between Billy Papke
and Stanley Ketchell for the middle
weight championship of America Both
men have large followings and many
big wagers have already been made
There is every prospect that the big
Hippodrome will be filled with such
crowd as has never before congre-
gated at a prizefight in Milwaukee
when the doors open this evening.
Dopesters who have watched the two
men in training declare that there Is
little to choose between them and pre-
dict that a decisive victory will be i'm
possible in the short distance of ten
rounds.
| 1t will be a contest that will settle
the middleweight title, as there are no
others to dispute it with them. Hugo
Kelly was claimant of the title, but
Papke won over Hugo the last time
they met and now Billy shares the
honor with Ketchell. While Papke was
winning his way toward the goal in the
middle west Ketchell was doing the
same stunt on the Pacific coast, and
they are the two legitimate claimants
of the title at present. The winner of
this bout. can we'll claim the title and
the boxing followers of the country
will be quick to recognize him as such.
They will weigh in at 154 pounds at 3
o'clock. which is the same as weighing
in at 1873 pounds ringside. The latter
is the recognized weight for the mid
die weight class. but nowadays people
prefer to have the men weigh in hours
before the battle so that they will
know everything is all right, ana 154
POUNDS at 3 o'clock practically means
/ 15S at ringsiGe. Both men have

KING EDWARD TO
VISIT THE GEAR

| LONDON. June All preparation
have been made for King Edward
projected visit to Russia, and it i
| likely that the sovereign will board the
royal yacht. Victoria and Albert, to
| begin the trip tomorrow. The meeting

nephew. the car of all the Russias. will
( take place in the Baltic next week.
King Edwards efforts to strengthen
the entente cordiale have. in the case of
the projected visit to Emperor Nicho-
las, aroused great deal of criticism.
While the British people greeted Pres
ident Fallieres with glad acclaim. and
hailed the contamination of the rap
prOchement between England and
France as triumph for King Edward:
craftsmanship. there is no such desire
among the masses of the people for the
formation IF tie between Britain and
Russia. Many men of liberal and pro-
gressive ideas openly disapprove of

The Russian government is not in

kovsky has created strong sentiment
here against the policy which. although

held altogether responsible. but it is
argued that he cannot escape a share
manifestly improper for King Edward
to put himself in such a position that
brutalities of the Russian government.
In reply to this King Edwards apollo
car will have no political significance:
they say Edward is simply going 20
visit his nephew.
The suggestion has been made by
q newspaper which does not approve of
the proposed meeting of the two SOW
ereigns that the kings visit has been
engineerc1 by the cars agents. with
the sole object of securing popularity
in England for projected loan which
''will fill the war chests of the Russian
bureaucracy and help it in its struggle
