THE NEED OF OVERLAPPING
THE WOOL TARIFF.

Senator Aldrieh the other day, in
answer to a criticism of the textile
schedules. vigorously declared that the
tariff on wool Is the keystone of the
tariff structure; that if it be destroyed,
the arch must fall. The enemies of
protection the people who would de-
stroy American industries" he said,
had always aimed their shafts against
this schedule, because they knew that
could they win at this point they would
have overcome the citadel of the sys-
TEN.
This effort to unload upon wool the
whole burden of tariff sins, and then TO
defy attack on the ground that criti-
eism amounts to treason, is worthy of
investigation. Especially is it worthy
of analysis. in view of the food of light
which Senator Deliver has turned up
on the textile schedules.
If the wooden schedule is half as rot
ten as Deliver showed it to be; and if
the wooden schedule is the key of the
arch OF professionalism the whole
structure is in danger of erumbling
and crashing to the earth in a complete
wreck OF the system.
If the wooden duties are really as
important a part of the protective
scheme as Senator Aldrich would have
us believe. then there is all the more
reason why they should be made sane,
defensible, honest, and sound.
The structure cannot be safe while
its keystone and its corner are decay
ing and disintegrating from their in
ternal rottenness. Somebody must pre-
sent a more specific and convincing de-
Tense against the brilliant and convinc-
ing attacks of Dolliver, or else the wool
schedule must be revised. If it is not
revised now, it will be later, and proba-
bly, at the hangs of an unfriendly Con-
gress. That is the substance of the
whole matter.
it has been made clear enough that
the wool schedule is the omnium gath
erum of the tariff. It's duties are very
high; even on their face; they are made
higher by far than they appear, by skill
ful turns of technical phrase, by out
rageous stretches of definition, by in
conclusion under them of every imagin-
able article into whose fabrication the
most trifing proportion of wool enters.
Senator Dolliver pointed out that in
truth the wool duties present a doubt
ful protection TO the wool grower. BY
clever and dishonest manipulation OF
language they are distorted to take
away much of the protection which APP
psrently is intended to be given to the
American sheep grower. Thus it de-
velops that the raiser of sheep at one
end and the consumer of wooden prod
ucts at the other, are both buncoed; the
consumer pays even higher duties than
on the face of things he is supposed
to pay; the producer of wool gets less
protection than he is supposed to get.
The beneficiary of the series of devices
which thus victimize alike the grower
and the wearer of wool, must be either
the manufacturer or else the operative
at the wooden mills.
We do not imagine that anybody /,
so innocent, so unsuspecting, so mildly
idiotic, as to assume that this wonder

Capital TaIes

TIE tariff bill may be worrying the
ultimate consumer. may be making
the masufacturer lie awake nights.
and may be We&rying to the Senate. but
none of these are extracting as much
grief out of the tiresome process of re-
vision as the diplomats.
In the Diplomatic Corps it is fever
ishly hoped that America win not over
haul tariff schedules again for the next
genei alton at least. The reason for this
is that while the tariff bill is under con-
sideration, the diplomats have to stay
in Washington and keep thoroughly in
formed as to what is going on. June
is approacninE and hot weather is at
hand, and the time OF year has arrived
when the diplomat expects 10 saunter
of to the seaside or the mountains and
spend the time in dressing for dinner
and other exciting oastimes.
But this year there is none of such
recreation yet in sight. The horrible
possibility confrontS the diplomat OF be-
Ing compelled TO stay in Washington

progress, or lack OF progress, on the
tariff His government not merely ex-
poets him to keep a sharp eye on the
tariff, but insists upon II. Many of the
proposed changes in duties along with
the administrative features OF the tariff
bill, are of the utmost moment to for
eign Governments, and by none are the
rates and other features of the tariff
bill studied with more care than BY
those in charge of the various en-
bassies and legations IL seldom hap
pens moreover, that an interesting
fisht is on in the Senate over the tariff

The base ball season is fast ap-
preaching and the people of our city
should be doing something about or
ganizing team. There is plenty of
excellent material here for a number
one ball team and somebody should
start the ball a rolling and get an or
ganization.
Other towns are waking up to the
fact that nothing advertises their town
better than good base ball team.
some of them have organized already
and will have their teams practicing
at the first signs of spring. 1t is up to
the business men to get together and
give the boys boost and have an
other good team for 1909. The team
here are all home boys with the excep-
ton of pitcher, who would have to
be hired.
Page, Casselton, Hunter, Hillsboro,
Mayville, Northwood, Hatton, Coop
erstown, Hannaford, Dazey and Buf-
falo are going to have teams, so it is
time for some one to get busy and
start things moving.
