quite Muscovite
Senior Snithovitch says that John Kbhe Turner, who
has given the Americans dreadful picture of the slavery
of the working classes in Mexico under the iron rule of
Daz, is slanderer. Senior Smith calls Portiro Daz
'sterng patriot and statesman, lone Of the greatest
of modern times under whose wise administration
and guidance" ''he old fighting revolutionary spirit of
Mexico has given way to one for developments enmty has
been displaced by desire that peace and plenty may fill
the life of every of the people, 'under the nfleXble
operation of its well-made laws
And yet Senior Smith does say that the Yaqus and
the Mayas made slaves in the henequen bells of
~Yucaan He does not say that Mexican worlmen and
not herded together the rghttul slave pens
of the Vale Nacional. He does not say that the govern
ment itself is not in partnership with these horrors
than those of the Kongo Free State under Leopold the
Accused
He tries deny these things by general statements and
praise Of Daz But his conception of liberty disclosed in
his telegram to Taft indicates that at heart he believes in
force where capital endangered and hi, failure to deny
specifically the things charged really admit them.

too convincing
AT first one is puzzled that this article which has been
made the official defense Of DaZ apparently, and has been
mailed broadcast the country III pamphlet form,
should emanate from publication calling itself the
'Bankers' Magazine" But the reason when the
writer leoices pean of praise to Daz that Mexico has
"emerged from the darkness OF financial discredit.'
The animus of the enthusiasm for DaZ is therein dis
cosedear of business disturbance if the poor slaves of
Mexico should be freed fear for diminished dividends on
the stocks of Mexican floations

The President Concludes.
In conclusion, the president says:
Il have thus, in a message COM
pressed as much as the subjects
will permit, referred to many of
the executive needs of the country
with the exceptions already noted.
| Speaking generally, the country is
in high state of prosperity. There
is every reason to believe that we
are on the eve of a substantial bust
ness expansion, and we have just
garnered a harvest uneXampled in
the market value of our agricultural
products. The high prices which
such products bring mean great
prosperity for the farming COM
! munity. But on the other hand,
they mean very considerably in
creased burden upon those classes
in the community whose yearly
compensation does not expand with
the improvement in business and
the general prosperity. Various rea-
sons are given for the high prices.
The proportionate increase in the
output of gold, which today is the
chief medium of exchange and is
in some respects, measure of
value, furnishes a substantial eX-

Features of Tariff Law.
Two features of the new tariff
act call for special reference. By
virtue of the clause known as the
maximum and minimum clause, it
is the duty of the executive to con-
slider the laws and practices of
other countries with reference to
the importation into those countries
of the products and merchandise
of the United States, and if the
executive finds such laws and prac-
tees not be unduly discriminatory
against the United States, the mini
mum duties provided in the bill are
to go into force. Unless the presi-
dent makes such a finding. then
the maximum duties provided in
the bill, that is, an increase of 25
per cent ad valorem over the mini
mum duties, are to be in force.
Laws on Injunction.
recommending that legislation
be adopted to carry out the plat
form pledges with regard to in
functions, the president says:
THE ends of justice will best
be met and the chief cause of COM
plant against ill-considered injunc-
tions without notice will be avoided
by the enactment of statute for

Injunction or restraining order,
whether temporary or permanent,

population and the more expensive
mode of living of the people, which
have not been accompanied by 2
proportionate increase in acreage
production, may furnish a further
reason. 1t is well to note that the
increases in the cost of living is not
confined to this country, but pre-
walls the world over, and that those
who would charge increases in
prices to the existing protective
tariff, must meet the fact that the
rise in prices has taken place al
