be no objection.
There would he no trouble in ne

We could fix our own tariff rates and

PLANTATION of the present situation with
regard TO the reported engagement of
the Duke of the Abruazi and Miss
aittherinc Elkins. daughter of Scna-
Tor Elkins. OF West virginia. was OBJ
'ained today from an unimreachable
authority: The Duke OF the Abuzzl
came to Rome in February and dined
with King Victor Emanuel. He did
not ask his majesty's consent to an
engagement with Miss Elkins. He
did. however. obtain leave of absence
from the minister OF the marine. and
went to America.
As n matter of fact 1t is learned
thal the duke spoke to the king with
regard TO the Elkins family some time
prior TO this and with such persist :
cnce that the king questioned him
specifically about the family. but at
no ,ime did he asl; the consent of the
KING 10 his marriage with Miss Elkins
II is because of this. when the first
news reached here from America that
the court denied the engagement
Even now, officially. nothing is known
w 'hS reported engagement, but Id is
admitted that what has happened in
me United States seems TO be proof
that the duke Is determined TO marry
Miss Elkins. in which case. Il Is be-
iievcd The king will give his consent
without restrictions MS the real spirit
OF the Italian law does not contemplate
the 'cnuncntion of princoly rights or
a morganatic marriage. The morgan
/ attic marriage OF Victor Eniannel II
with Rosa Vorccland who became The
countess of Mirafiore, was an excep
ton.
II is believed here that the Duke of
The Abruzzi is coming TO italy 10 ask
the consent of the king. This delay
is not so strange as would appear, as
IL Is understood that the duke intend
ed to arrange matters with the FL
kins family privately before pleading
his suit with Victor Emanuel.
definite decision therefore is not
likely TO be given until after the duke
reaches Rome about April 1.

What 1t SoiIs Down To.

An interesting witness before the
house ways and means committee was
George R. Brewer of Philadelphia, who
was concerned in the schedules on
ammonia, potash and soda. Here is
an excerpt from the proceedings:
"Mr. Bower admitted that the in
dustries which he represented had
prospered greatly under the present
tariff law.
"'Then why do you ask for an in
crease in the duties?' asked Mr.. I'm
derwood.
"'To increase our Market was the
reply.
"'Then it is not for protection, but
that your profits may be increased?'
continued Underwood.
"'Well, that's what it boils down to-
replied the witness, with embarrass-
ment."
Increase of profits is what protec-
ton usually boils down to. And where
do the consumers come in?
