Tariff Troubles.

1t is not the competition of pauper-
made goods which the American work
mar has to dread. He can, with his
skill and Intelligence, make goods
cheaper than the pauper can. What
he has to dread is the competition of
the pauper himself, who invades the
country and beats down the rate of
wages and the standard of living.
Every man at all familiar with the
facts knows that the tariff is not the
cause Of high wages. On the con-
trary, high wages are the cause Of
the tariff, or one of its causes Wages
are neither raised nor lowered by i'm
port duties, but the purchasing power
of wages is most d~isastrously affected
by them. The tariff diminishes the
purchasing power Of every dollar
earned In this country. 1t p~retends,
among other things, to protect corn
to the extent of five cents a bushel,
but this p~retense is humbug. What 1t
really does to corr IS to cut in half
the amount Of manufactured goods for
which each bushel q be traded. Per
haps, however, Mr.. Aldrich does not
mean to deceive anybody when he
talks nonsense about the tariff, and
ne doesn't deceive very many people.

In Anomalous Position,

There isn't much that is bashfuI
about the so-called watch trust. If
there were the American. watch manu-
f%acturers wouldn't be begging for pro-
lection against foreign watchmakers
to the tune Of ITS per cent. and at
the same time asking congress to pro-
tect them against themselves by levy
ing duties on American watches
bought by American dealers abroad
and brought back to this country. If
the American matchmaker can com
pete with the pauper matchmaker of
Europe in his own market, it wouldn't
be a bad idea to fix his tariff SO that
he would have to sell in the United
States at prices no higher than he
gets abroad. !

REAL ISSUE CLEAR
NO LONGER DOUBT ABOUT STAND
PATTERS' POSITION.
Idea Now, as in the Past, Is That
MonopoIists Are to Be Allowed
to Write Their Own
Schedules,

Thanks to Senator Dolliver, the
public understands better than it did
how the Aldrich substitute bill was
framed.
The cotton and wooden schedules,
for instance, were handed in, and Sen
ator Aldrich and his 'languid dis
ciples" of the finance committee mere
ly audited the outsiders demands. 1t
is a fine old protectionist custom, and
as a stand-patter the Rhode Island
senator naturally approves. The lead
ers of favored industries were permit
ted to write their own schedules for
the Mckinley bill. A certain Phila-
delphia manufacturer even boosted
that 1--WE paid for the Dingley bill and
it is ours"
Senator Dolliver evidently does not
look at tariff revision that way. Re-
ferring to the origin of the wooden
schedule, he said the only difference
between Senator Aldrich and himself
was that have grown "a little more
curious to see what was in the pack
age" What he'had discovered was that
by slippery provisions and obscure de-
vices the Dingley rates were advanced
in the pending bill. The consumer,
instead of reaping any benefit, was
threatened with dearer clothing.
Is it any wonder Senator Aldrich
was horror stricken? IAN assault on
the cotton and wooden schedules" he
exclaimed in shocked tones, 'is an as
sault on the very citadel of protec-
ton"
There can no longer be any doubt
about the real issue in the senate. If
Senator Aldrich and his following have
their way the country will have been
humbugged by Republican campaign
pledges. If the benefciaries of the
tariff, whose greed has only been
sharpened by long years of undis.
turbed possession of congress and the
custom-houses, are allowed to write
their own schedules for the present
tariff bill, the work of revision will
have to be done all over again, Senator
Dolliver gave timely warning when he
said, IF you want "a tariff agitation to
begin the moment this bill is made a
law you have pursued a wise an
proper course"

TEDDY'S PHOTO NETS s3.O6
photographer Sells Picture of Late
President for So and Gets 6 Cents
Additional by Court.

New York, N. Y.-After hearing
the story of the sale of photograph OF
Theodore Roosevelt, Sitting at his
home at Oyster Bay" in an action
brought by Peter A. juicy, a photo
grapher against the Town Topics. Pub
fishing company, Justice Bowling
directed a verdict of six cents for the
plaintiff.
juicy claimed $4,000 damages on
the ground that the publishing com
pany failed to keep an agreeemnt with
him to publish the picture in "Fads
and Fancies" with his name attached
to it. He sold the picture to the
Town Topics company, for three dol
lars.
This is the suit in which Mr.. Roose-
velt's deposition vas taken at Oyster
Bay shortly before he left for Africa.
It was at first denied that the use OF
the picture was authorized by the
president but it subsequently came
out that his then secretary, William
A. Loeb, junior, had consented. Mr..
Loeb, at present, collector Of the port
of New York, was a witness in the
suit to-day.

WHY ALL THIS INDIGNATION?
People Complain of Petty Thievery by
Sugar Trust, Yet Submit to Ex-
tortion of Millions.

1t is n of the curious Indications
of the haziness of public opinion on
subjects in which economics and
ethics are intermingled that the prac-
tical confession of the sugar trust
that it has defrauded the government
out of at least $4,000, 900 in the last
ten years by cheating in weights,
evokes an almost unanimous chorus of
condemnation and contempt. Even
the corporate organs Which are wont.
to lend their laudation to the triumph
of the trusts in securing big dividends
by artificially enhancing prices are
forced to exhibit Indignation and sor-
row over this mean and contemplate
theft.
Yet, except upon the postulate long
ago cynically formulated that it is
only the comparatively small offenses
that r criminal and despicable, we
see little ground for this revulsion at
the discovery of a minor offense of
the trust. The new information is
that the sugar trust has been cheat
ing the people of the United States
represented by the government out of
5000, 900 per year. 1t has been cheat
ing the same people in the status of
consumers of sugar out of 200 to 400
times as much by combinations to en-
hance prices. Both methods were
Illegal long before trusts were
dreamed of in this country. AS for
Consciousness to general morals the
%defrauding of the evenue was regard
ed al a venial offense several gen
erations after the fragrant injury and
%selfishness Of arbitrary enhancement
of prices was clearly seen.
! We protest that the sugar trust is
entitled to some sympathy, not on ac-
count of the government prosecutions,
which are inevitable, but in connection,
with the denunciations of those that
recently tolerated if they did not sup
port it. Since this class view its
larger plumber with complaisance
what reason had it to suppose there
would be ethical horror if, following
the well-established precedent of the
h~orse-leech's daughters, it swelled it's
illegal gains by the comparatively
petty larceny Of 100000 yearly?

Now the great Aldrich plan is: What
is the use of delaying things? What
the people, the interests, want is
some decision-it does not so much
matter what-so that they can know
what to depend on. 1t is plain that
we can never agree On any radical
changes (downward), so let us be
sensible and pass the bill the inter
ests want as soon as W e can and 60
home. Don't you know that the more
we talk the more people come to un-
derstand the true inwardness of the
whole system? Then where shall we
be? The thing to do is to pass the
bill-my bill-and adjourn.

"But during his Imprisonment many

me, although the claim dated back six

My lawyers advised me to settle it
rather than have the additional noto.

Sold Jewels to Aid Husband.
"Too much has been said of little
things" Mrs. Morse continued, "of
course, I sold my jewels to help my
husband. What wife would not?
MY husband is more than anxious
that all his creditors shall be paid
Government officials boosted that
they would ruin my husband and all

this.

1t shall be unlawful and to be against

also declared to be equally %reprehen-
