STILL HIGH TARIFF
sTANDPATTERs JUGGLING WITH
RECIPROCITY.
Lowering Of Present Schedules Is the
Thing They Wish to Avoid
Interests of the Consumer
Not Considered.

When James G. Blaine tried to COM
NIT this government to a policy of tar
if reciprocity with other particular
nations, he was a little in advance of
his time. The tariff standpatters of
that day whipped him to a %standstill,
and reciprocity was put on the shelf
for the time being.
How different now. The most bour-
bon of standpatters is the most siren
nous advocate of reciprocity. And, by
the same token, that is a good reason
for Analysing modern reciprocity, ac-
cording to the notions of these high
tariff advocates. In other words,
what is the Interior motive from their
viewpoint?
Stripped of technicalities, a good
deal of the present enthusiasm for
reciprocity is based on an excuse for
maintaining high-tarfff schedules. That
is, the standpatters are willing to have
a maximum and minimum tariff, to be
used as a club on other nations, pro-
vided we make no substantial changes
in the present tariff, which they would
call the minimum"
Most modern countries have adopt.
ed the maximum and minimum tariff
for reciprocity purposes. We may
even admit that tariff retaliation is 6
wellestablished custom, and brings
substantial results. But the countries
that employ this dual tariff scale mos
effectively, especially in Europe, are
those that model their minimum
tariff expressly for the great body o
home consumers.
Our American standpatters pre-
sumo too much on the complacence o.
American consumers. The victims O.
robber trusts have no particular OBJ
lection to a dual tariff scale for reel
procity purposes. But they demand
first that the minimum tariff scale
as applied to the American people
themselves, shall be substantially low
cred to remove outrageous taxes OF
life's necessities.

CUTICURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Scaling and itching.

II have been successfully cured Of
dry eczema. l was inspecting the re-
moval of noxious weeds from the edge
of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night l
cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to it
for two years but I noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running Sores. My ankles were all
sore, and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. | had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. l got a cake OF
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days l
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks I was free from the con-
founded itching. Capt. George P. Bliss,

Too Common.

When it comes to a consideration
of Mr.. R~oosevelt's language and meth
cd of rebuking Mr.. Pulitzer, nothing
can be said in their defense. His mes
sage's natural reception was the laugh
ter with which it was greeted In con
gress, but it remains a h~umiliating
proceeding on the part of the presi-
dent of the United States to so far for
get himself and his Office in the bit
terness Of his anger and the violence
of his epithets. A president devoting
a whole message to congress to the
denunciation Of a single newspaper!
Who would have thought 1t possible
before Mr.. Roosevelt became presi-
dent? Historian as he himself is, no.
body should know better than Mr..
Roosevelt that his long series Of VIC
lent ~denunciatioDs and Of branding
men as liars will always be a terrible
indictment Of the sanity and wisdom
Of his administration.

MPhYsician. Heal ThYself."

Newspapers are known to have a
vile habit Of not admitting or correct
ing their mistakes. Mr.. Roosevelt
dwelt upon this evil of the press in
his letter to Mr.. Foulke. The president
then waxed indignant over this unfair
ness of journalists, who would put a
false story into circulation about a
man and then refuse to give the truth
equal publicity. But Mr.. Roosevelt
must now see how very human a fault
this is. Even presidents are not ex-
empt from 1t. 1t was a president who
sent to the senate an affidavit purport-
ing to prove that n of the colored
soldiers had confessed a share in the
Brownsville affair. That affidavit was
promptly riddled and discredited, but
has the president admitted that he
was wrong in accepting 1t? Has he
done justice to the accused soldier,
Conyers? No; a hardened newspaper
man could not have more brazenly ig-
nored the exposure. Similarly with the
presidents charge that the restriction
on the use Of the secret service had
hampered the departments in running
down criminals. Two committees OF
congress have now reported that this
was al entire mistake; that all the
heads of departments have freely con.
coded that their detective work has
not been in the least crippled. Have
we had any acknowledgment Of
error from the president? None what
ever. The editor who never takes any
thing back could not have done worse

Deficit or Small Earnings.

'"These computations show as to the
commodities covered by the freight
rate statute Of 1907, that with two
roads, the st. Louis & Hannibal and
the Burlington, allowing nothing for
extra cost, there is a deficit, and with
all other companies less than two per
cent. But with the extra cost added,
the deficit for the two companies is
much greater, and the other compa-
MES show a deficit.
1.-THE passenger earnings under the
two-cent fare law of 1907, allowing
nothing for extra cost over interstate
business, give no return whatever to
the Rock Island, st. Louis & Hannibal,
Kansas City, Clinton & Springfield
and the Great Western. The other
companies will have the following
The st. Louis & San Francisco, be-
tween three and four per cent; the
| Santa Fe, between four and five per
cent; the Kansas City Southern, q
small fraction over two per cent; the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, between
two and three per cent; the Burling-
ton, between three and four per cent
All this is arrived at by allowing nc
extra cost for service. But to add the
extra cost for freight and passenger
there are no earnings v expenses
This is confiscation under the consti
tuition"

Real Question at Issue.

In giving the reasons for such con-
clusion the decision says: Most lay
men and many lawyers believe that
the question is whether the railway
company as a system is earning suffi-
cient revenue upon the value of the
property Of the system. They believe
that il the Burlington, Santa Fe, Wa
bash, or any other railroad system, is
earning such money as will pay all
charges and expenses, including taxes
and interest, with reasonable divi-
dends to the stockholders, state rates
for state business must stand.
OF course no one believes this who
has given the slightest attention to
the question. That precise question
was before, and was decided by, JUS
tiee Brewer, and affirmed by the SUI
preme court in the Nebraska case Of
Smyth VS.. Ames. The only question
is as to Missouri rates, less expenses
properly charged against the same,
And if this balance does not leave suf'
ficient to pay a reasonable return, the
law is invalid. And If the railroad
system Of any company Is earning
more than a reasonable return by
reason Of interstates rates, which at
feet the people nal times more than
local rates, and If such interstate
rates are too high, congress acting
alone or through a commission mus
make the c%orrectins.
Six Per Cent Not Too Much.
i'The supreme court during the pres
ent year in the case Of City of New
York VS.. Consolidated Gas Compan!
of New York decided that six per cen
was fair and right to be given to the
owners upon the true valuation. M!
opinion is that while a gas plant is IL
some respects different from a rail
road, a railroad property, properl!
built and properly managed, SHOULD
over and above expenses make a re
turn of six per cent per annum. Ant
considering all the evidence, the evi
dence fairly shows that all Of thes'
roads were properly and economical,
built and are being properly and eeo
nomically managed, and that afte
paying the expenses for maintenance
and operation, there is less than ST
per cent Of returns, and not more thai
three per cen upon any Of them, an
as to some Of them a deficit, takini
the property as above stated With.
the state of Missouri at its fair valus
ton.
And this is SO without reference t
bonds, because in no cas- do the bond
bear six per cent interest. But takin
the bonds into consideration, there
still not to exceed three per cent r.
turns, and many cases a deficit afte
considering all debts and credits, upo
the true valuation for the state bus
ness. There is no evidence that an
of the existing bonds were improperl
issued either as to amounts or rate
of interest. F.,
