San Francisco. Aug. THE Call, in
concluding a discussion OF the tariff
law, says:
Congress has been in session for six
months revising the tariff, but nothing
has been done to lower the cost of the
prime necessaries Of life or to give re-
lief from the excessive cost Of living.
Mr. Aldrich has marched his army up
the hill and then has marched it down
again. The revision. in fine, has been

New York, Aug. importers who

by wireless to reach port before the

New York Papers Cd Not Like New Bill

New York, Aug. 1.-COmmentlng on
the tariff law. the Times today says:
Cleveland withheld his signature
from the Wilson bill because 1T con-
tained provisions which he declared were
not in line with honest tariff reform.
President Taft signs the Payne-Aldrich
bill, although it is worse than the Ding
lev bill and imposes many duties high
er and more burdensome than those 1t
replaces That is, concisely put, the
difference between the two revisions and
the difference between the two men,"
The Sun today, after charging that
the bill is travesty on tariff legisla-
ton, says:
well, let's make the best Of it and
be glad it is over
Chicago, Aug. THE local morning
papers, after exhaustive reviews of the
tariff measure. are unanimous today in
the belief that the new law does not
give the consumer what he should have,
though they look upon it as material
improvement over the Dingley BILL The
Tribune says in part:
'"The new law has manifest defects
and would have had more but for the
forceful interposition of the president
The Dingley law was the high-water
mark of ultra protection. This years
legislation is significant in that it in
dicates that the tide has turned. The
contest in the future will be between
moderate and ultra-protection."
In part, the Record-Herald says:
Senator Beveridge did well to REIN
troduce the tariff commission bill We
fancy that the event will demonstrate
the need of pressing 1t, and we fancy
thai Aldrich and company will not be
found smoothing the way for business
like and scientific tariff making in the
future"
The Inter-Ocean in summing up the
measure, says:
at does not adequately reduce the
tariff rates, yet 1t brings relief"

THE RoBBING or THE PILLARS

a telegram from Scranton Pa. the other day, told how
$4,000 damage done in that city by the eayng
in Of the galleries OF great coal mine that had been un

The dispatch said thp the eave-n was the result OF pillar
robbng and that among other buildings damaged oo0o

Now what is pillar robbng"f

But you coal mine and issue lot Of bonds II and

So from time time, this pillar has been trimmed down
