Sometimes we almost sympathize
with the Hon. Serene Elisha Payne,
baited and damned so cordially for a
tariff bill which was made for him and
is now being made over.
Remembering what emotion and fire
have been spent upon this resultant
of a thousand grabs, thinking of those
wise and quiet gentlemen of the senate
who are at work and have been at
work on a tariff bill, we are reminded,
perhaps by the mighty magic of protec-
tion itself, that gramarye for plucking
folks without their knowing it, of a
little incident in Iolcos and the Latin
reader. Medea boiled a ram in a cal
dron and it came out a tender lamb,

Will the Hon. Serene Elisha Payne
know the house tariff bill when the
senate gets through with it?

AT PUBLIC EXPENSE
GREAT FORTUNES ARE ACQUIRED
AND ADDED TO.
Standard Oil an Example Of the Result
of Monopoly Allowed by un.
just Laws to Fatten on
the People.

Naturally enough, Mr.. Milburn, who
receives $1,000 a day as legal repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil Com
pany, has no apologies to offer for the
"a per cent. profits of that corpora
ton which he admits, or for the SO or
100 per cent. profits which are alleged.
Trust development and the growth
of privileges have accustomed many
Americans, including lawyers, to big
figures. We often hear of single fees
larger than the lifelong earnings of
the most distinguished practitioners
of SO years ago. To justify such ex-
p%enditures clients must contest for
richer stakes than any that were at
issue in the first half of the last cen
fury. Monopoly is a good paymaster,
and so is privilege.
Americans as a rule frid no fault
with extraordinary profits derived
from enterprises depending upon their
own merit for success. What they
complain of is the great fortunes
rolled up al a direct result of unjust
laws and desperate practices. There
is little hostility here to wealth hon
estly and fairly acquired. All of the
unrest, discomfort and malice which
have been exhibited toward property
n enterprise have had their origin
In public execration of favor in the
laws or of inequality in their applica-
ton.
Twenty-four per cent. profit In a
business which violates no law and
which gains nc advantage through the
Partially of government is not to be
condemned. One-half or one-qUarter
OF that sum drawn as a result of law
breaking and favor is an outrage. Sa-
gacity and industry are entitled to the

t1ce are worthy of no rewards at all.

Standard oips Great "eraft.D

About this time we may recall that
under the reciprocity arrangement
with Cuba the duty on sugar was re-
duced; that is, the government re-
ceived less venue from 1t. But the
price to the consumer remained the
same. The revenue the government
lost went TO the sugar trust, which con-
trolls the refineries. Standard Oil con.
trolls the refineries. It makes the price
to suit itself. II a tariff of ten per cen
were placed on petroleum, the price
to the consumer would be raised 20
per cent. becaus there would be half
an excuse for it. Standard can raise
the price ten per cent. with no excuse
at all.

WHAT coLoRs SHALL ! USER
This Question Is Important In Painting
a House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important IN painting a house. 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And it makes a big difference
in the price the property will bring on
the market.
As to the exterior, a good deal de-
ponds upon the size and architecture
Of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For a good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and a simple instrument for testing
the purity of paint materials. Pure
White Lead which will stand the test
in this outfit will stand the weather
test. National Lead Company's ia
nous Dutch Boy Painter trademark
on the key is a guarantee of that kind
Of white lead.

Lumber and the Tariff.

Following the protection propaganda
industriously circulated by Edward
Hines Of Chicago, word comes from
Washington that the lumber barons
will make a last effort in the senate to
restore the tariff which has been cut
by the Payne bill.
The Weyerhauser interests, with
which Mr.. Hines is associated. bought
enormous tracts from the Northern
Pacific railroad, on which the stump
age did not exceed Is cents per thou
sand feet. They hold this timber to-
day at three dollars per thousand.
They desire a high tariff to protect
their gamble in stumpage, and for no
other reason.
The tariff on lumber produces about
100000 900 yearly revenue for the gov
eminent and $751; 900, 900 a year for the
lumber barons. The government can
afford to let the whole $4,000, 900 go,
save the lumber consumer the $751;
000, 900 and remove the tariff incentive
to destroy our forests.

Our Wooden Schedules.

When Mr.. Payne and his cohorts
tax gloves, hosiery, tea, cocoa, hats,
perfumery and other commodities
dear to the heart of the weaker sex
n can scarcely advance the argu-
ment that the ways and means com
mittee is oyerchivalrous. Woman has
voiced her indignation at this treat
ment, but there's another schedule
that she may learn more about and
then have Dor for more Indignation
the wool schedule. During the fis-
cal year of 1908, wooden dress imports
for women and children were valued
at $9,135,6S7, and were taxed SO. 1872
S54. or o than 100 per cent. Add to
this profits Of retailer, jobber and i'm
porter, and it is safe to state that
lovely woman had to pay, approx
imately, $3.50 for every dollars worth
OF wooden dress imports. Now, this is
exceedingly important, because our
wool product is, relatively speaking,
negligible owing to the increasing cul-
tiyation of sheep grazing lands, and
does not eXceed-when converted into
yarn--a pound and a half annually
per capita. What an excellent oppor-
tunity for authorizations in the manu-
facture of "woolen" garments Is fur
nished in the light of these facts, and
what a double cross" the women and
children get! AS a question of COM
ordinary honesty is it not up to
the manhood and decency of America
to revise the schedule on wooden ap-
parel for women and children? Won

CURED ITCHING HUMoR.
Big, Painful SweIIinas Broke and Did
Not Heal-Suffered 3 Years.
Tortures Yield to cuticura.

Little black swellings were scat
tered over my face and neck and they
would leave little black scars that
would itch so I couldn't keep from
scratching them. Larger swellings
would appear and my clothes would
stick to the sores. Invent to a doctor,
but the trouble only got worse. By
this time it was all over my arms and
the upper part of my body in swellings
as large as a dollar. 1t was SO pain
full that I could not bear to lie on my
back. The second doctor stopped the
swellings, but when they broke the
places would not heal. | bought a set
of the Cuticura Remedies and in less
than a week some of the places were
nearly well. I continued until 1 had
used three sets, and now I am sound
and well. The disease lasted three

REQUIRES Some ExpIara+ior

The day had dragged heavily. My
confidence in Mary Anne's brother had

OF course we had all visited the
rocks many times, separately and col

Canadian sun is hot at midday in
summer, and continued Intellectual
