Nicotine.

Speaking of tobacco: The proportion
of the deadly poison, nicotine, governs
the taste of tobacco about as much as
fusel oil governs the taste OF whisky.
In genuine Havana tobacco there Is not
more than per cent of nicotine. In
French tobacco there is about per
cont and in our Old Dominion product
a little over per cent. In the Blue
Grass tobacco there is at least per
cent, and the Sumatra leaf of Connect
cut contains about per cent why
not have nicotine tablets? They woun
be lust as harmless as strychn1ne or
arsenic-New York Press.

False Pretense,

Those who have been using tariff
revision as a false pretense to cover
their real desire for free trade do not
want the tariff made fair and up 10
date. They want It destroyed, and the
better the tariff of 1909 is made, the
wiser and sounder the revision, the
more permanent and beneficial Its
schedules are TO American capital and
American labor. the madder they will
be. 1t seems a mockery for those who
want to destroy the protective tariff
to talk in a solemn. sanctimorious way
about the best time for revision when
they know perfectly well that all the
while they are pretending to help
prune and spray the tree they are ach-
ing for n chance to tear 1t out by the
roots.-lndianapolis Star.

NO MYSTERY ABOUT 1T.
Republican Position on the Question of
Tariff Revision.

Tariff Revision.
The Republican party is now commit
ted to revision. 1t would be well for the
country to be informed before the fall
elections what the partys leaders mean
by revision.--New York World.
The meaning of Republican tariff re-
vision may be concisely stated as fol-
lows:
First.-Maintenanceo of the protective
system. declared by the late PRESIDENT
Mckinley in his last speech to be now
firmly established"
Second.-The adjustment of all i'm
port duties TO present labor and mar
ket conditions.
Third.-lf any duties are not high
enough for adequate protection. they
are to be made higher.
Fourth.--If any duties are too high
for fair protection, they are to be made
lower.
Fifth.-The work is to be done intel
ligently. thoroughly and as soon as
possible after information necessary
to proper performance of the task
shall have been gathered.
There is no doubt that the number
Of Americans who favor this course is
vastly larger than the number who
desire to see tariff revision undertaken
by the Democratic party. which de
clares that protection is robbery" and
has frequently asserted that the
amount of revenue to be yielded is the
only question which properly has any
thing to do with the adjustment of
import duties.-Rochester Chronicle.

THE DUMPING PRACTICE.
Protected Manufacturers Are Not the
Only Ones Who Follow It.

Oniy One8 VINO = oiioW IL.
Selling goods to foreign buyers fol
less than the domestic buyer Is re-
quired to pay is SO common throughout
the world that 1t seems as If 1t were
the result of a general law of trade.
We are Informed on good authority
that American steel and food products
are sold abroad for less than the price
charged in the United States. In our
March issue we presented evidence OF
the sale of German worsted dress goods
for export at less than cost Canada
has found the dumping of foreign prod
ucts so dcmoralizing to her Industries
that she has imposed penalties de-
signed to prevent the practice.
The following letter to the Manches-
ter Guardian gives the experience Of
an English manufacturer of drying and
ventilating apparatus who found that
the English firms from which he bought
goods were ready to sell for export at
discount of 16la per cent greater
than he could obtain in England:
Manchester March p.
Sir-In connection with some contracts
abroad we wanted certain goods which
are only made by a limited number of
English firms. They all the same
price list and quoted US discount OF
5si1 per cent of this list delivered at the
foreign port where we wanted them Not
being satisfied We asked our representa-
tive abroad to write to the same English
firms for prices. and they quoted him f5
per cent on the same list for the same
goods and the same delivery.
II this is not preference for the foreign
er We should like to know what is
Yours. etc. ]. ID. SuTCLIFFE.
Managing Director Sutcline Ventilating
and Drying Company. Limited.
When attacks are made on pro-
tective tariff because manufacturers
sell for export at prices below those
charged at home. 1t is well to bear In
mind the above and similar cases that
show the prevalence of this practice
in other countries Dumping may be,
as we think it is. wrong and an in
jury to both the bumper and the
dumpee, but it is not an argument
against a protective tariff. 1t is an
evil that calls for some other remedy
than one that would destroy our home
industry. That remedy. as we have
seen. Is sought by both free trade Eng
land and this country OF high protec-
tlon.-TeXtile World Record

Would Stop PROGRESS.

A decision in November adverse TO
the protective principle would be vast
ly more unsettling than anything else
that can be imagined. The country
from week to week is regaining the
ground that was lost last fall. A ver-
dict at the polls against protection
would wipe out all the gain and leave
the whole fabric OF industry and COM
merce wreck. - Pittsburg Gazette
