FREE RAW MATERIAL
Country Demands It and Revision
 Downward.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 President Taft has the country, east, west north and south, with him in the demand for free raw materials in the tariff and reasonable revision down ward.
 His declaration at Petersburg against any duty on lumber has had univer- sal response. The authoritative declar- ation of his views in the Sunday Press will have a like approval. Free lum- Der, hides, coal, petroleum, and iron ore wanted throughout the country, mo- where more than fin the eastern states.
 The great industries of the city favor this step, without abating at any point or in any way their support of pro- lection. Protective duties must be maintained. The difference between wages and the cost of production at home and abroad must be protected No schedule must be put at level which admits the competition of foreign la bor.
 But free raw materials mean more work and more wages for American la Dor. The shoe dealers and shoe manu- facturers who went to Washington last week asking for free hides know this. A great trust controls this raw mater ial. This is true of iron ore and petrol cum. Trusts play their part in control liIg lumber and coal. These raw mater iaic o,, ont aach fo ha fraa

| fused to authorize the raising of the wreck to prevent the discovery that the Maine was destroyed by an explosion originating within its hull. Many very high authorities, too, in our own navy have advocated the raising of the wreck for the purpose of putting the contro. versy to an end and have conceded that the harbor Is constantly incommoded by the situation, and increasingly so as the shoal extends further and further around the submerged remains of the ship. This growing obstruction has made the removal of 1t desirable to the people of Havana, and there is no opposition whatever among the Cubans to a thorough sitting of the facts as they might be revealed. Of course, no one will dream of suggesting that Ad- miral Sigsbee has any desire to conceal tho facts, but many will regret that opposition to the only way of satisfy ing the world regarding them comes from the man who was in command of the vessel at the time, and whose wig ilance might possibly be impeached by discovery contrary to the report of the board.
 It is a matter in which the honor of this country is seriously involved, and in which, therefore, every honorable American should be profoundly concern ed. Whatever the facts may be, and upon whomsoevar they may reflect when revealed, the national honor can be vin- dicated against charges which are cred tied in very high places all over the world, only by removing all possible doubt of what they ara. It is, of course, seriously doubtful if the present condition of the wreck. subjected as 1t has been to long submergence in the mud of the harbor bottom, will reveal anything conclusive; but the raising and removal of it will at least put an end to the widespread suspicion that the American people and government have conspired to conceal the facts and to put an odious and abominable stain upon proud and honorable people for the purpose of making war upon them.

UNCLE sAM's INCOME
Commendable Effort to Have Him Live
 Within It Now.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The considerable reductions in the es- inmates of the government for the next fiscal year bear evidence of President Taft's determination to reduce the ex. penses of the Federal establishment. By his direction the War department has presented estimates less by S10,000,00O than the appropriations made by the last congress. And though many bureau chiefs contended that the interests of the navy would require at least $780, 000,-000 for the fiscal year 1911, Secre- tary Heyer is expected to send in esti- mates of less than S130,000,000. For the fiscal year which begins the first of next July congress appropriated $1ss,00o,o0o for the navy.
 This reduction in expenditure, tho president believes, can be accomplished without impairing tho efficiency of any branch of the service. Neither will it necessitate abandoning the building pro gram for the navy, as the estimates in- clude provision for two new battle ships of the largest type and number of torpedo boats and other auxiliaries.
 Mr. Taft has directed that the same policy be carried out in other depart mcnts. He is determined that, go far ~as lies in his poweryH the government during his administration shall live within its income.

BATTLE SHIP MAINE
Question of Raising Wreck of Il-Fat-
 ed Vessel.

From the Detroit News Tribune.
 Admiral Sigsbee, who commanded the Inflated battle ship Maine when she was destroyed by an explosion in the harbor of Havana, has been featuring at Washington, for the benefit of move ment to erect monument to the vic tins of that calamity. He depre- cates the agitation for the raising of the wreck, and insists that the report of the board appointed to investigate the cause of the explosion was correct in finding that the cause was exterior to the vessel and that no investigation at this time could possibly reverse that verdict. He, however, adds no new ar gument or fact to those already known to sustain that theory but merely urges that the wreck could be raised only by the construction of cofferdam, and the exposure for several months of the muddy bottom to the injury to tho health of Havana, to which the people of that city would justly object. The wreck could otherwise be removed only by dynamite charges which would preaK it up and render discovery of new con- ditions impossible, while opening the way to the charge that it was broken up to prevent such discovery. He also pleads that the wreck Is of itle in- convenience to the harbor and that the world has almost unanimously agreed with the finding of the board
 There are several discrepancies in the admiral's facts as well as in his argu- ments. The world docs not agree with the findings of the board. Indeed it is fact that Europe is almost unanimous ly of the contrary opinion, and although few newspapers outside Spain make the charge openly, Americans abroad have 1t constantly thrust into their faces in private conversations |, that this country and it's government have deliberately re-

LuxURIEs DISTRIBUTED
Men and Women of Seventeenth Gen.
 tury Spent Much on Dress.

From Gas Logic.
 We hear much, for example, about modern extravaganza on the part of the rich, in the matter of wearing ap- parel especially One might suppose that the utmost expenditure of veal. thy man or woman for single suit in the eighteenth century was no more than s100 at the most, and that these suits served year after year.
 Nothing of the kind.
 In 1720 Mile. de Tournon was married in Paris. The wedding was an elegant but not phenomenal one, as those days went. Her court gown was of white velvet, elaborately embroidered, and cost fS00-nearly S4,000 of our money; this gown could be worn but a few times, and the chemicals now used for cleaning and refreshing fine fab rics had not yet been discovered. She has had several other gowns at prices varying from f150 to f400, and her aunt gave her f700 for fans, bags and gar. ters.''
 Mime. dc Verrue, who is not by any means prominent person in history, had 500 dozen cambric handkerchiefs and other things to correspond-and this cambric, hand woven, had no cot ton intermixture.
 And the men were as extravagant as the women. Such a suit as was re- quired by tho guest at a fashionable wedding cost f600, and he needed three of them. The most inexpensive kind of black suit cost f25 or ESQ, half a dozen hats at fl apiece were none too many, and gentleman ordinarily must possess silk stockings, wooden stockings and leather stockings, and five or six different kinds of boots--these being necessary by the prevailing kind of knee brooches. A man of fashion could get along with six summer and six win ter suits at f100 apiece-which does not include the gold and silver buttons and the lace. And besides all this the barber and wig maker cost his lordship several pounds year. He might or

MILITARIsM IN CUBA

Although only four months have
 elapsed since the withdrawal of the mil.
 itary forces of the United States from
 Cuba, disquieting news comes from the
 capital of that island republic. The in-
 formation is graver than was the com
 paratively trivial sensation caused by
 the so-called mutiny of tho rural
 guards. As might be expected among a
 people as yet in the infancy of self. government, but thoroughly educated
 by observation in Spanish mishandling of public revenues, the trouble is finan. cial. Unless the anticipated difficulty be averted, it may again become neces- sary for the United States to regulate blneficently the administration of Cuban affairs in accordance with the far-sighted amendment that bears the name, of late senator.
 Tn considering tho announcement Of 8 threatened deficit in Cuban finances, it should be borne in mind that there is an element in the island, which has its capitalistic sympathizers in the United States, that exploits and en- courages every sign or happening that may cast doubt upon the capacity of the electorate of Cuba to manage their own affairs. But, making all allowance for the motives and the interested rep resentations of this factor in the sit uat,on, the fact remains that the au. icipated difficulties of the Cuban treas ury are due to the spirit of militarism. Already the great majority of the pub lie debt of Cuba is due to pensions and back pay for the veterans in the insuiar war for independence. But, after all, this is a bill for the past, and part of the price of political liberty that can be redeemed. But to this burden, quite sufficient for the present genera tion, it is now proposed to add the ex- pense of a standing army of 12,0o0 men.
 It is obvious that such military force is not needed for an island de- voted almost exclusively to agriculture, within the radius of the protection of the Monroe doctrine of the United States against aggression from across the Atlantic, and amply guarded against internal disorder by its police, on foot and mounted. Its population of consid- erably fewer than 100000 calls for no such armed establishment. The infer ence seems warranted that hers is a reappearance of the fondness for mar tial display, as well as of the desire to make places in top-heavy staff or ganization for many generals who might become political agitators unless thus furnished with uniforms and salaries. If the administration of President Gomez feels itself threatened by oppos- ing partisans, the way of conciliation ioes not lie along the road of militar- ism. But it will be disappointment If the child Of the Cuban self-govern- nent should again prove unable to wark alone.
