cent ad valorem instead of 40 per cent
as now. This, of course, ought to carry,
and probably viii do so.
But in the same paragraph with cash
registers are sewing machines, type
writers, typesetting and linotype ma
chimes. How about these? Everybody
knows that American tyPewriters sell
al over the world, and that there is
no effective competition against them.
They sell cheaper abroad than at home.
So do sewing machines and linotype
machines. Moreover, the linotype ma
chine people are establishing great
plants in European countries to meet
the requirements of the patent laws of
those countries. Protection doesn't
keen the industry in the United States,
in such case as that.
Because somebody called attention
to the case of the cash register, there
viii probably be some further redue-
ton, though not enough to do any
good except to lessen the scandal and
the rawness of the thing. But how
about these other thingsl Should not
they, being in precisely similar posture
as to the foreign market and the home
and foreign prices. also have their pro-
lection substantially reducedg
Such cases as these are the ones
which bring American protection into
disrePute. Everybody knows that type
writer's are controlled by a gentlemen's
agreement which maintains standard
prices, and enables the makers to ex-
act terms which are too high. The
standard typewriters at 500 ought to
be a good deal cheaper; and yet, with
prices at home too high, with the mar
ket controlled, and with the foreign
field easily dominated, heavy duties
are put on whose only possible effect
must be to give more assurance to mo-
nopoly. That is the sort Of thing the
true friends of protection, who wish
its continuance and perpetuation,
should seek TO avoid.

THE TARIFF PROTECTION TO
AaONOPOLIES.

Senator Beverage presented a fine
illustration Of the possibilities Of the
tariff as shelter 20 monopoly, when
he called attention to the cash register
business. The present tariff on cash
registers Is 45 per cent. The House
bill carved this to 30 per cent, and the
Senate committee stood on this reduc-
ton.
Now, that reduction of one-third ap-
plying TO cash registers, typewriters,
typesetting machines, linotype ma
chimes, sewing machines, etc, looks
good. under the circumstances. It Is a
good thing to talk about. It is the
evidence that the tariff is being re-
visad downward. But what good does
1t do anybody?
Senator Beverage showed that cash
registers are sold abroad at Just a
trife over one-half the price regularly
charged for them here. These are regu-
lar catalogued list prices. They don't
represent dumping" abroad. The bust
ness goes on every day IN the year, and
is an immense business; for there is
no competition in this country OF
abroad. and this concern doesn't sell
abroad at a loss. It doesn't need to
It makes good money on all its bust
ness. It is selling about Sl0O00O0(
worth of its products per year. and
thev have become an absolute necessity
in al business establishments. II
cash registers had no protection what
ever they would not be in any wise al
fectsd. except that the American mer
chant could 60 to London, buy an
American made machine, and bring il
home, saving money in the transaction
So the reduction of -oHe-third in Oh,
cash register duty means absolutely
nothing It is Just like most of TIA,
other reductions which have been pro
vded in this bill
Senator Beverage, recognizing this
has demanded that the duty be reduced
another 10 per cent, making it 10 PEI

Gen. James Allen, chief of the Signal
Corps, said this morning that he does
not expect flight before Wednesday,

It is not known whether or not the
two Dayton inventors will make their
residence while in the Capital at the
Cosmos Club. Orville Wright while here

NAMED in the post hospital until he
was discharged and went home.
But TWO or the tests Wnieh the Gov
eminent contract specifies are TO Be

distancs. requiring a fight OF five miles
straightaway and return, with pas
senger. and the other a speed flight OF
at least one hour. with q passenger, at
a minimum rate Of thirty-six miles an
hour.
The contract with the Government
calls for a recom1ense TO the inventors
of $4,000 for the successful meeting of
all the tests. For every mile per Eour
they are able TO make over forty they
will receive $500 additional. up TO
forty-four miles.

a GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT
OF PUBLISHERS.

English publishers, fii:ding that there
has been a surfeit in recent years of
the quality of literary pabulum which
is classified as current novels" are
proposing that everybody take a years
vacation; that nobody bring out any
new fiction for that time, and that the
reading public be starved into a better
appetite.
1t is a novel-no pun iutended-an
interesting suggestion. 1t might work
well, and again it might not Suppose
the starving public, cast back on the
resources Of old-time standard novels,
should renew acquaintance with the
dust-covered rows OF dignif1ed works
which ornament everybody's book
shelves for the sake of form, and which
almost nobody reads nowadays Sup
pose that in its desperation the pub
lie should make the discovery that
Thaokeray and Eliot and Fielding and
lCervantes were after all better reading
in 100000 words than are the present
day froth in 10000 words? What
would be the effect on business the
year following the famine?
There is no question that the pub
fishers have been rather OVERRIDING the
thingg Evidence TO that effect may be
found in the straining after sensations,
in the efforts to invent new advertising
methods, in the constant complaints
from publishers that there are no more
best sellers of the pulling capacity
which used to be developed even a few
years ago.
The bookmakers have to compete
nowadays against the numberless pc
riodicals which serve up high-seasoned
bits of more or less meritorious litera-
ture every week. or month. The dispo-
sition of the public for serious, CON
secutive reading. is being ruined. It
would be well if any project might be
devised which would induce people to
take their reading more seriously.
There is no conclusive reason why one
should expect tile book in hand to be Of
inst the right length to finish in one
evening. It is still more narrowing to
EXPECT authors to turn out stories fitted
to al the different lengths of railroad
tripe. Literature is bound to lose
something when the man with a suit
case in hand stops to calculate how
much longer story he viii need on a
trip to Chicago than on one TO New
Yolk. If there were a bit more Of the
disposition to regard reading as
means 20 utilizing time, rather than as
method of destroying it, something
worth while would have been gained.
