mum provision, but even In connection
with that work much valuable data will

Of the work Is completed the commission
will turn its attention to the deter.
mination of costs of production at

reactionaries in Congress, men like ssna-

Middletown transcript., 1909-08-14

The session of Congress just concluded
demonstrated in remarkable degree the
impossibility OF enacting tariff law in
accordance with the Republican national
platform, shat is, making the duties
equal the difference between the cost Of
production at home and abroad plus
reasonable profit for American industries,
without data bearing on the various in
dustries other than that furnished by pro.
tected manufacturers whose personal pro-
fits are dependent on the tariff and whose
views cannot be in any sense unbiased.
Such manufacturers appear before the
committee OF Congress and assert that
any reduction OF the duties blow the exist
ing law will ruin their business and throw
thousands out Of work. The few who
attempt to controvert these statements
are, naturally, less familiar with the de-
tails Of given industry than those en-
gagged in il and they are generally made
to appear ridiculous because of that lack
Of familiarity. The Senator or Reprssen.
tative dependent on the manufacturers in
his district in large measure for reelection
is hardly in position to treat their state
ments with incredibly. 1t is. therefore,
imperative that Congress should have
some official data on which to act and
that, above all, the President who, as Mr..
Taft has well said, has the entire country
for his constituency, should possess that
data also. Ouly tariff commission OF
the type designed by President Taft can
furnish such data.

he said were, Let me hear from
you, Tom. If you don't write /
will think it's because you're
ashamed to write. And, Tom,
don't you forget that you're GO

it!
He paused and drew his breath
sharply. Then be resumed the
story in lower tone.
Tom didn't forget. II was q
hard struggle for him, but he
won out. He drifted into Mexico,
then into Central America, then
down to South America. He took
up mining in Peru and slowly he
prospered. In Valparaiso he
met lady, and presently won
her affection. But before he
asked her to marry him he told
her al this story and she said,
Some day we will find this good
man and show him what his
money has accomplished. So
they were married and Tom felt
that he owed all his happiness to
the master. And then a daughter
was born and that was another
debt. Instead of being the vaga-
bond, the Jail bird he would have
been, Tom was a good citizen, a
happy husband and a proud
father. He paused again. But
Tom didn't write. That was in
gratitude. The master had asked
Tom to write. He putt of. At
first there was nothing to tell
him nothing but the story of
his struggles. And then as time
wore on Tom put it off, and at
times quite forgot it-and that
black ingratitude. Tom pros
pered. and a more alluring pros.
pect called him to San Francisco.
And then their child fell i'll, very
i'll, and in the agony of his fear,
Toms conscience brought his
ingratitude before him, and he
promised to find his benefactor
and crave his pardon. And the
danger point was passed and the
dear one lived.
He paused and wiped his face.
And the room was very still
