Tariff Lesson from Lumber.

Reports Of 31,231 sawmills show an
output during 1908 of lumber, lath
and shingles to the value of $541,545,-
$40. BY virtue Of the high tariff on
imports the lumber kings were per
mitted to charge for their product
something like $50,000,000 than
its fair selling price.
Because Of the opportunity to reap
unearned profits by reason Of spe-
cial tariff privileges the lumber mag
mates increased their output to the
limit of their powers. They were
anxious to seize the booty which the
tariff authorizes them to wrest from
every mar who must use their prod
ucts.
This reckless devastation of forests
has reached such a point that the
country faces a lumber famine. The
visible supply is nearing its end. Can.
ada's vast forests lie right at our
doors. Yet a high tariff keeps us from
buying her lumber, and forces us to-
pay American lumbermen exorbitant
prices.

Nipponest.

THIEVES BRING BACK SAFE
The Newspapers Informed Them That
1t Contained Nothing of
Value.

Chicago, Ill.-"The incest rob-

the verdict of Oak Park on the
thieves who moved a safe from the
store of c. A. Scales last Saturday.
Mr.. Scales received the safe by ex-
press, the charges being prepaid.
There were a few marks on the
door," said Mr.. Scales, "but otherwise
the safe was all right. Papers pub
lished the fact that the safe contained
k~eepsakes and papers o. value to me,
but worthless to any other person, so
/ think the thieves were polite enough
to send my property back when they
found they could get nothing for it."
