A GREAT GAIN FOR THE
GENTLE CONSUMER.

T. is noted with some satisfaction
that the Senate Finance Committee,
whose attitude toward the consumer
has at times been criticised by narrow
and venomous minded people, and also
by the very ignorant, is quietly pursu-
ing its way toward adjournment, un-
touched by the slings of misrepresenta-
ton and the arrows of malice. 1t is in
no wise trying to revenge itself for the
contumely so uniustly heaped upon it.
When it finds a chance TO do something
for the consumer, it does it; turns the
other cheek, and in the spirit of truest
Christianity, heaps Goals Of fire on the
head of the misguided critic.
These random thoughts are inspired
by contemplation of the great service
which the committee has done to the
community by placing radium on the
free list. It has taken a broad and
catholic view. and one which we believe
VIII be Endorsed by every consumer of
radium IN this country. Recognizing,
as one must, that the radium business
of this country can hardly hope to com
pete with the pauper radium OF Europe
yet it must be conceded that a tariff
at this time would subject the Ameri-
can people to the possibility Of grave
deprivation if they were compelled to
pay a high duty or perchance to strug-
gle along without radium until the
American industry could be developed
Free radium for the masses! Who
cares about such petty things as stock
ings and gloves and razors, when the
committee tenders the splendid boon OF
free radium There is the platform on
which Senator Aldrieh should make his
speeches from every stump next season
and Senator Sm0ot should lecture
throughout the doubtful States
How great viii be this benefit to the
plain people may be judged from the
fact that the Radium Institute of Great
Britain is to buy one-fourth ounce OF
radIum, and viii pay Sl500O0 for it
If everybody in the United State.

WARREN DEFENDING
A DUTY ON HIDES
Wyoming Senator Says
Leather Trust Is Getting
All the Profit.

Senator Warren Of Wyoming came to
the support OF the cause OF a duty on
hides in the Senate today
The supporters of free hides have been
attacking the Beef trust, and saying
that the duty on hides was sought by
the big packing companies constituting
the Beef trust. Senator Warren turned
about and charged that the cause Of
free hides was being bolstered up chief
~ by the Central Leather Company, OF
Leather trust. TO which most OF tho tan
ners of the country belong.
The Wyoming Senator told of the
growth of the boot and shoe business
in this country from 1900 TO 1906 He
showed that the business had largely in
creased. but he pointed out that the
working people were not getting the
benefit of the increase, since in 1905 the
wages paid in the boot and shoe in
dustry were 100000 below what they
were in 1900.
Senator Lodge explained this by the
increased use of machinery, and Senator
Warren admitted this had something 70
do with If.
Senator Warren recalled the letter Of
President Roosevelt TO Governor Doug
las. refusing to recommend free hides.
Senator Warren paid a tribute to Mr..
Roosevelt as being fair and just.

duetion between Wisconsin and Canada.
5. 4 do not believe that we can con
sistently expect to preserve the Wis
consin print paper industry by the i'm
position of tariff duties. Print paper
cannot be economically manufactured
in Wisconsin at so great a distance from
the source of supply of the raw ma
terial.'
Therefore, said the Senator. he
would suggest a compromise He offer
ed an amendment to fix the duty at "a
per ton until July l, 1912, after which
it should be 8. Giving three years for
the Wisconsin manufacturers to adjust
themselves, they could prepare to make
a different paper, for which material
is at their hand and from which they
could make a profit. He proceeded:
After July l, 1912, my amendment
provides that the duty shall be s. per
ton, which will cover for every indus
try in this country which can legiti-
mately claim protection, the actual diff
ference in the cost of production in this
country and Canada 1t will amply
protect ell mills advantageously stu
ated for the production of print paper,
If the amendment I propose is reject
ed, 1 cannot, for the reasons already
stated, support as a permanent policy
rate of 81 per ton, and must vote
against the same as economically IN
sound"
There is the voice of statesman
who recognizes that the tariff ought To
be made for the whole country; whose
vision can see more than the concern
of his constituency, the industry of his
State; who recognizes that economic
unsoundness is a more serious srgu-
mont than the question of temporary
effect on an industry unfortunately To-
Gated and which ought to be reorgan-
lied.
But how many Senators or Repre-
sentatives have had the vision or the
courage thus to view particular SEIZED
ules Certainly the Senators from
Michigan didn't do it when the sugar
schedule was before the Senate Beet
sugsr Is as economically eXcuseless in
Michigan as print paper is in Wiscon
sin And so through the list; hun
drcd examples might be cited of hot
house industries fostered where they
are not economically profitable, simply
because they once got there and it is
not desired to force readiUstment.
1t Is a dangerous polly; policy un
der which the tendency is constantly
to take on more and more burdens OF
support fot industries economically I'm.
prontable and wasteful. 1t distorts al
economic conceptions, and develops
artificial conditions. In the end it viii
impose vastly greater burdens on the
public even than it has thus far de
veloped

PROTECTION AND SOUND
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

The courageous and statesmsnlv po-
sition taken by Mr.. La Toilette during
the discussion of the paper and pulp
duties has not received the. attention it
deserves The Wisconsin Senator
brought into the debate the refreshing
suggestion that sound and safe econ
omic conditions ought To surround an
industry which should receive protec-
ton; that it is not worth while to
maintain, b. dint Of high duties, indus
tries which could never hope to sustain
the nselves alone. He made application
OF this doctrine in a Wisconsin case,
under circumstances which made the
performance especially courageous and
eeditabIe.
Wisconsin IS one OF the greatest
paper producing States. In the Fox
rive valley are $4,000 people directly
dependen. on the continuance and pros
peri.y Of the industry. The wood sup
plies for it have been exhausted, and it
can only continue by importing wood
from Canada, at great expense Mr.
La Toilette made an Independent in
vestigation OF the conditions of the
print paper industry in his own State
and here is what he told the Senate he
had found:
l. That the duty of s. per ton was
enough to protect the labor in American
paper mills against Canadian
,. That by reason of the high cost
Of transporting wood TO the Wisconsin
mills, duty of even Sc would not b
sufficient TO equalize the cost OF pro
