REFLECTIONS OF A

To a man, the most fascinating woman in the world is the one whom he has almost, but not quite, kissed.
 A man is never so doubtful about whether or not woman will recip- rocate his love as he is about wheth. CT or not he wants her to.
 woman never has q charitable thought for one of her husband s old sweethcarts, but man always has tender fellow,feeling for all the others who so narrowly escaped his own fate.
 Michael Angelo in his most in spired moments never felt the thrill of triumph nor acted half so naughty as the husband who has just finished painting the piazza rocker
 A modest woman knows that it is often not her accursed beauty, but her aceursed plaquet, that makes men stare after her so interestedly.
 A man can persuade a woman to do almost anything, if he can only make her think he thinks she would nt.

was robbery In 1907, it was no less so
in 1897.
In fact, owing TO the lower scale of
general prices in 1897 and the presence
of many specific duties, the actual ad
valorem rates were higher than now.
In the first fiscal year after the pas
sage of the Dingley act, 1889, the
average duty on iron and steel and their
products was 1853 per cent as COM
pared with 1929 per cent in 1867
Let us look at the duties on wool and
its products. In the year 1867 cheap
wooden yarn, worth not more than so
cents per pound, bore tariff tax of
1902 per cent. Possibly this is one of
the schedules Mr.. Taft would consider
too high. it being unlikely that the diff

was the tax any more just when the

grade under then existing conditions
paid n tax of 177.5S per cent. In like
manner the cheaper wooden and worst
| ed cloths, which in 1907 paid 134.97 per

and all fannels for underwear were
taxed 1854 per cent in the later pc
Rod and 1907 per cent in the earlier.

admitted by all, including the tariff
beneficiaries. that iron and steel and
their immediate products can be made
in the United States cheaper than in
any other country. This was so >in
1897, when the Dingley tariff was
framed, and manifestly no protection
was needed. Yet the iron and steel in
terests then. as now, having tremen-
dous political influence, secured duties
ranging from 81 per ton on pig iron to
S25 per ton on certain steel products
and even 500 per ton in few cases.
In the fiscal year ending June so. 1907,
import duties on iron and steel and
their products averaged 1920 per cent.
But the tribute eXacted by the steel
trust and its friendly competitors was
certainly much more than 80 per cent,
for in computing the average rate on
goods imported those on which the
duty is so high as to be prohibitive, or
nearly so, have little or no effect on the
result. What a tax of more than 30
per cent means on the enormous out
put of iron and steel products can be
imperfectly imagined when we know
that, according to the United States
special census of manufactures in

HAS MORAL SIDE
High Protective Tariff Violates
American Ideal of EouaIi-
ty Before Law.
LENDS ITSELF TO MONOPOLY
fs a Device for Enhancing Prices by
Tax on Commerce-Tends to
Enrich the Few.

In paper read before the interna-
tional free trade conference held at
London, Aug. ( TO I, President Jordan
of Leland Stanford university gives
his view of the protective system:
Every argument for and against the
tariff has been stated a thousand
times. There is nothing new to be
said. But at the bottom of every argu-
ment remains the necessary recogni-
ton of its primal iniquity. The fun
damental idea in American pOlity is
that of a-square deal to all men, each
standing on his own feet, with ex-
elusive privileges or governmental aid
to no man and to no class of men. In.
equality before the law. entail, primo
geniture. church control of state. state
control of church, class consciousness
and class legislation were evils which
our, fathers would not tolerate. They
chose the hardships of Plymouth
rock and later the hazards of war
rather than put up with any of them.
If there is one American idea or
ideal to he segregated from the rest
it is this of equality before the law.
And it is this ideal which is violated alb
solutely and continuously in the theory
and in the practice of the protective
tariff.
The protective tariff is a device for
enhancing the home price of the arti-
cles it covers by n tax on commerce,
by forcing the body of citizens to pay
tribute to producers ut home. These
producers may be capitalists or di-
rectors of industry, or they may be
the laborers who contribute effort only
without responsibility for the way in
which effort may be applied. 1t mat
ters not whether capitalists or labor
ers, either or both, actually profit at
your expense or mine The law in
tends that they should do So 1t is n
breach of the principle of equality be
fore the law that either should thus
profit. AS matter of fact, there is
little gain to the labOrer, because con
tinued immigration brings him new
competitors and because he is in his
turn one of the general public who
suffer from the commerce tax. AS
wages are raised. so is the cost of liv-
ing. For the director or employer Of
labor the case is on the average not
much better because the cost of his
product is enhanced by the tariff
taxes on everything which enters into
his process of manufacture. In so far
as n tariff is successful it is virtually
prohibitory. That the evils of prohib-
itory tariffs are so little felt is due TO
the fact that our country is world in
itself, with untaXed trade throughout
a district comprising nearly half the
specialized production area of the
globe. Yet within this favored area
it Is possible sometimes to corner a
product or to monopOlize production
To this end the tariff naturally lends
itself. though it would be unfair to de.
clare 1t to he the parent of all trusts
1t is enough TO recognize that its gen
eral purpose is the same-the develop.

Hides md Leather schedule.
The Now York Tribune, Leading
protectionist journal, recently let slip
into its news columns a striking ex-
ample of the injustice and humbuG. of
the Dingley schedules on hides and
leather.
The DinGley act imposes a duty of
u per cent on foreign hides, but also
provides for the free importation of
articles, the growth, produce and
when returned after having been ex-
ported without having been advanced
in value or improved in condition by
any process of manufacture or other
means"
Certain independent New York deal
els in hides and leather have wondered
why this provision should not apply TO
the hides OF american cattle, of which
nearly half a million are annually ex-
ported alive After they are slaugh-
tered abroad many of the hides are re-
turned to the United States and, being
worth about SO apiece, are taxed $1.5C
each at the custom house. The deal
eIs reasoned that these hides We're the
growth and produce of the United
States" and that the extent of the for
eignerS' offense in advancing theil
value or improving their condition
was in removing them from the cattle

The fact that certain schedules are

speech of acceptance to changes in the
conditions of production since the
Dingley tariff was enacted. Unfortu-
nately he makes no specifications of
such changes. The truth is that most
of the Dingley schedules were outra-
