wool men have found very danger
Gus error in their schedule which
would practically mean reduction
of duty from II to five and half
cents a pound, and here, too, the
Senate will amend. There Is likely to
be an entirely new maximum and
minimum provision, for nobody, not
even the members Of the committee
thmselves. seems to know just how
the Payne proposition will operate or
what it means,
If tea, cocoa and spices are not re-
turned to the free list. then the guess
of every well informed man will be
wrong. It is now generally conceded
that a serious mistake was made IN
placing tea upon the dutiable list with
the only excuse that 1t would raise
eight millions in revenue.
The howl which has gone up
against this tax is second only to
that which is made against the coun-
tervaillng duty on coffee, whereby cof-
fee. supposedly on the free list, is sub
ject to countervaillng duty; that is,
a tax is imposed upon all coffee com.
ing from country which imposes an
export duty. This means tax upon
so per cent OF the product consumed
in the United States, and which
comes from Brazil. Coffee SPECTATORS
and valorization Interests have enough
coffee on hand to last two years, and
taking advantage of this countervall-'
ing duty would Immediately put up
the price, and thus reap a gratuity Of
some fifty millions of dollars before
the treasury would derive a penny In
the shape of revenue.
To make up for the loss of revenue
in placing these articles back on thu
free list it has been suggested that
the Senate would provide a tax on
dividends of corporations and bonds,
and perhaps add stamp tax as was
done to raise war revenue.
All of these changes will make the
tariff bill of the Senate look quite
different from the Payne bill, and IN
the end 1t is likely to he 4 much more
satisfactory measure, not only from
the standpoint of revenue but of In
terest to the public.

Wit Al
Are the Charges to Be Made:
in the Payne Tariff
Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April IF
the Hon. Serene E. Payne, chairman
of the ways and means committee
doesn't take thumb prints of the
child of his labors and have it meas
ured by the Bertilhon system, he is
not likely to recognize his tariff bill
when 1t comes out of the Senate
committee on finance. That commit
tee. or at least the majority members
of 1t are framing measure. which
will resemble the Payne bill only as a
Kentucky thoroughbred resembles a
Missouri mule.
or course, the great body of the
measure will be similar to the House
bill. the same as the Payne bill lis sim
bill, the same as the Payne hill is sim
be such vital changes in its important
features that 1t won't look like the
same bill. 1t is now apparent that
the ways and means committee had
two objects in view in drafting the
Payne hill. One OF these was to APP
pease popular clamor with respect to.
the rates upon certain schedules. and
the other was to suggest way of rails
Ing more revenue. 1t now develops
after the measure has been under dis
cussion for two weeks or more that
some serious mistakes have been made
In attempting to satisfy certain de-
inands on the one hand, and that the
effort to increase the revenue BY rails
Ing the duty upon articles heretofore
free, on the other has brought forth
protests which cannot go unheaded.
1t is these errors which the Senate
win seek to correct. The reductions
made in the steel and iron schedules
which was yielding to popular clamori
has already led to a reduction I'M
wages In large number Of plants IN
Western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
While 1t is probable What the old rates
will not be re-established in their en-
tirety In the metals schedule, there
Is likely to he REIMBURSEMENT which
win better meet the needs of the sit
uation.
The reduction Of the duty on lum-
Der Is another case in point. There
has been a great hue and cry for free
lumber. The committee saw that this
was not only impractical from rev.
enue standpoint but also rutnous 10
the American Industry and according.
iy compromised on one-half the pres
ent duty. But in their efforts to get
free lumber the chief advocates of
this proposal, who are owners of the
Canadian timber lands, have overstep-
ped themselves by making plans to
bring in Canadian and Mexican iun'-
l,her. In contemplation OF reduction
Eof the duty. The attitude Of Clifford
lPinchot. chief forester Of the depart
ment of agriculture. however, has had
the effect OF changing sentiment very
largely upon the subject. Everybody
knows that Mr.. Pinlchot is for for
est conservation, hut he does not
think that free lumber would aid In
the realization OF that desire, but on
the contrary that It would interfere
with 1t, because Of the waste which
would follow the necessity Of ieaving
low grade lumber to rot and burn IN
American forests. So It Is likely that
the senate committee win put up the
lumber duty to $1.5e a thousand. and
may restore 1t 10 the Dingley rate oi
$500. 1t Is also probable that coal
now placed upon the free list may be

FEAR M. DELCASSE
GERMANS WATCH CHANGE IN
 FRENCH MINISTRY.
Regarded As Curious That Delcasse Should Re Given Power, With in a Few Days After ReSfg-
 Lmafinn nR Garmnn-

Berlin, Aug, 7-German interest in the change of ministry in France is concentrated on the question whether or not M. Delcasse, who is regarded in this country as a political danger, will attain any real measure of power in the new Cabinet.
 It is regarded as a curious coinci- dence that M. Delcasse. who was driven from office by Prince Buelow four years ago, should come to the front again within a few days of Prince Buelow's downfall There is no doubt whatever that the appoint ment of M. Delcasse to any post in the cabinet. where he could exercise any effective influence over French foreign policy, would be regarded in Germany as a provocative, unfriendly act.
 M. Delcasse is considered to be the originator of the supposed policy of encircling Germany with a ring of hostile alliances. which German states men and politicians have attributed to Great Britain and France, during the last few years.
 The leading Conservative organ. ''Kreuz Zeitung." writes: -'Viewed from the German standpoint. and per haps also Lp the interest of France and of the peace of the world, 1t would be regrettable If M. Delcasse, a friend of King Edward and an enthusiastic advocate of an Anglo French offensive and defensive alliance, were to receive any influential post in the new Cabinet which would render 1t possible for him to continue his former anti-Ger- man policy. which once almost in volved war between France and Ger many.
 If NJ Delcasse received any tnfluen- tial post. we in Germany should have to be wide awake. The correct friend ly relations which have existed be- tween France and Germany under M. Clemenceau and Pichon would prob ably disappear and give way to hatred, if M. Deleasse returned to power.
 The past of this statesman reveals with certainty the policy which France would pursue under his leadership, for we must regard 1t as certain that If he held the reins of power his feeling towards Germany would not go through the same change as M Clemenceau and M. Delcasse.
 M Clemenceau sought to promote peaceful measures and means, but M. Delcasse desires to humiliate Ger many in order that the star of France could thereby shine more brightly"
 Another Conservative newspaper, the "Reichsbote," writes:-"It is remark able that M. Clemenceau should fall at the moment when the Morocco ques- tion is again the forefront.
 will NJ Clemenceau's fall tend to peace or not? We must fear that it will not tend to peace, especially. when one considers that King Edward VII s intimate friend. M. Delcasse, has taken part in overthrowing him, and aims at regaining power We must watch M l Delcasse's return from darkness with unusual eare.'

The art of letter-writins Is disap- bearing from our times. Even close friends are sending dictated. type written. letters to one another. These are mere bulletins of news. The full. heart-reveaIing. historic-record- ing chronicles of older days have pass ed with the leisure of our grandfath- :ers- We do not often nowadays en- title biographies 'Lifs and Letters" for the modern man h not writing let- ters. Yet this great Book of Acts was really designed only as . letter to a friend. It belongs to the epis- to1ary writings which form the bulk of the New Testament. Dr. Luke had an eager, inQuiring friend. For the latter's information he set down. lei- surely, and in order. the history of Christ's risen work up to date. Little did Luke know that the same Spirit whose mysterious movings he recorded was guiding his pen to the narration of document which should be for the instruction and inspiration of the church through all ages. But, then, we never do know which of our acts God is going to> use most greatly for his glory.
