WAGES AND THE rAnIrr.

. y
A healthy sign of reviving interest
| in tariff questions is to be had In the
! discussion between the Index-Appeal
| and the Harrisonburg Daily Times. Out
| Petersburg contemporary combats. as
! The Tmes-Dispatch thinks with great
| justice, the idea that the high prices
| OF living which the tariff forces on
| the whole country are compensated for
by increasingly high wages, to when
the Harrlsonburg exponent OF tariff
benefits replies that the United States
Bureau Of Labor Statistics shows that
wages have increased more than the
cost Of living. In support of its con-
tentions, the Harrisonburg Times
brings out the data compiled by the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record on
the wealth of America.
We are glad to see these figures pub
lished again. TOO much publicity cam
not be given the wealth and resources
of the United States, and especially
of the Southern States. Every indica-
ton points to the fact that in wealth,
productivity and numbers we are. as n
ration. yet in our infancy. In times of
panic and slackened trade, in the pros
ence of possible political changes and
doubtful Legislation, even had we to
face the certainty of failing crops or
disastrous wars, such comforting and
reasonable thoughts should be kept In
mind. But why, it may be asked
should the Harrisonburg Times or any
other paper or person attempt to eE-
tapiIsh connection between the pro-
ducts of our mines. our forests and
our farms and the protective tariff? Is
II not rather true that the virgin rich
resources OF our forests. and the sur
passing wealth of our coal and min
eral deposits would have been de-
veloped equally or even more under
tree trade? 1t is fact that the United
States corn and wheat fields can COM
pete with the whole world in quality
and cost of production. Our copper,
ccal and iron output has advanced
because we surpass the world in the
wealth of our mines and the skill of
our manufacturers. But these condi-
tions and facts are wholly apart from
the protective tariff, which has laid
heavy and crushing tribute on the
farmer, with small or no corresponding
benefit.
The principle of protection is too
strongly intrenched to be rooted out
suddenly; but its position is not UNI
assailable, and its general benefits by
no means demonstrate. Prima facie
the tariff has caused the trusts and
has done more to debauch our politics
and unfairly tax the people than any
other single device that ever emanated
from the brain of congressional legis-
lators. The tariff may be local ques-
ton, but it ought to be national
issue

SENATOR WHYTE
PASSES AWAY
Had Filled Every High Office
in the Gift Of the People
Of Maryland. !.

BALTIMORE. MD, March 17.-Unit-
ed States Senator William Pnckney
whyte died at his home in this city
tonight.
He was taken III while in Washing
ton last Thursday and returned as soon
as possible. Erysipelas developed and
his condition became worse. although
his physicians gave out encouraging
statements until after noon to-day.
About A o'clock this afternoon the
Senator suffered sinking spell, but
recovered wonderfully, and was con-
scious until the final convulslon that
ended in his death at 7:05 7. NJ.
The end was peaceful and Is said to
have been precisely such as he had
expressed a wish for.
Senator Whyte has been in public
city August 0. 1924. and was the son
of Joseph and grandson of DR.. John
Campbell Whyte. His maternal grand
father was the famous lawyer and or
ator. William Pinckney. He graduated
in tile House OF Delegates of the Mary
land Legislature of is47-'4S, since
which he has held nearly every office
in the gift OF the people of his state;
He was state comptroller 1896 and
ran for Congress in 1857, but was de-
feated. He was delegate to the ma
tionaI convention of 1868. and the same
year was appointed United States Sen
ator to fill the uneNpired term of the
late Reverdy johnson upon the latters
appointment as minister to Great Bril-
tain. He was Governor of Maryland
lST1-'T4. and in the following year was
elected United States Senator.
He became Mayor of Baltimore IL
1881. and Attorney General of Mary
land in 1887. He was chairman of tbs
commission which framed the new
charter OF this city. In 1900 he be-
came city solicitor. The then Governor
Edwin Warfield. appointed him United
States Senator in 1906, to fill the I'M
expired term of the late Senator Ar
thur p. German, and the Legislature
elected him Senator Gorman's successor
for the term ending March 3, 1909. He

PELLuCfD POOLS AND GUSHING
GEYSERs

Checking for the nonce its grim
task of butchering the prohibitionists,
tho News Leader takes occasion to
liken the editorial page of this news
paper to a peaceful and translucent
pool. We accept the characterization
in all humility. still waters have
proverbial depth. Pools support ships,
assuage thirst, inculcate philosophy,
cleanse dirt. Few things in the world
have proved more useful to man.
Pools are also valuable for reflect
ing mirrorcd images. This possibility.
together with those other faculties of
calmer stretches. is forever closed to
our purling and foamlng neighbor. It's
own waters: are far too effervescent,
too tlnkiag,.. too ''excited and over
bubbling. They may be likened not
tn pool, indeed, but rather TO Old
Faithful, the most tireless of the
Geysers, which discharges a scheduled
shower OF fluid heat, bubbles, froth
and spray with the punctualty of
clockwork. The News Leader, in short,
cannot see itself for the dazzling mist.
We are inclined to think that this is
just as WELL Were our contemporary
suddenly to become possessed of a
stretch of untroubled surface, TO which
an editorial Narcissus might rush,
thirsting to stand in many striking
pose, and stare with frenzy of
enamored Joy at his own reflections.
we should frankly fear the worst.
History shows how fearful are the
pangs of shattered complacence. Quite
possibly, We should have to look on
helpless, while our netghbor. driver
