8. M. Howard, Of Gettysburg, has so
much faith in his new model boat for
the NAVIGATION of western rivers that
he has purchased an engine and other
material for a test boat which he
expects to have in operation on the Mis-
souri, river this fall. If this plan proves
success it will put his boats in the
fast freight class, and put the western
rivers again on basis of highways of
commerce, as they were before the
coming of the railroads. His plan
differs from the accepted model for
river boats by paddle wheels all along
the keel, which are expected to keep
the boat climbing the water" and
allowing it to run in a very shallow
stream, which would put the ordinary
boat on bar II Mr. Howard proves
that his boat is a success he will revo-
lutionize river traffic on all western
streams.
Mrs. Lorena McVey, of Hudson, has
just held a notable family reunion when
her ten stalwart sons, two daughters,
twenty.eight grandchildren and one
great grandchild were gathered under
her hospitable roof. OF the ten sons
five of them are preachers. All the
sons have reached mature manhood and
are engaged in the active affairs of life.
At the family reunion the five preach
ers had arranged to conduct revival
meeting, and hired tent in which to
hold it, but severe storm arose and
the idea had to be given mp. Mrs. Nc
Vey is well preserved woman for her
advanced years, and was one of the
most active at the reunion. Her hus-
band died few years ago, and her son
Levi, conducts the fine farm on which
they have lived since taking it from the
government over forty years ago.

Tariff Tricks.

The people have lately had a good
deal of light on the business of tariff
making. Many men now see, as they
never have seer before, how difficult
it is to make a tariff that is honest
even from the protectionist point of
view. We have all read of the "jok-
ers" in the cotton schedule, the toy
schedule, etc Now we learn Of an
other Joker" It involves the prod
ucts Of petroleum. The house voted
to put crude and refined petroleum on
the free list. 1t supposed it had also
repealed the tax on the products of
petroleum. 1t Is said that Mr.. Payne
gave the assurance that such was the
effect Of the change. Speaker Cannon
is said to have expressed the same
opinion. But now it turns out that
only refined and crude petroleum are
put on the free list and that the prod
ucts are to be taxed 20 per cent. I'M
der the general provisions of the law.
Whether the bill was changed after it
had passed the house or whether
members were deceived as to it's eff
feet does not appear.

Curiosities Of the New Tariff.

If the tariff question as it relates to
party politics is perplexing, no less SO
is it in the aspect of it's ultimate effect
as worked out through administration.
Some features of 1t indicate that very
curious and far reaching changes in
foreign commerce may result from
the effect it is bound to have on GER
tain lines Of trade.
Complaint is offered from Canada
on two separate and even contradic-
tory lines of objection. One Is that
hostile significance is attached to u
lower duties on wood and pulp, so
much SO that Canada contemplates re-
taliation to protect her forests. The
other is that our possible application
of the maximum rates will Justify
Canada in reprisal, to the point of
forcing our factories to over the
line in order to sell goods there. Both
parties in the dominion are committed
to protection. It will be easy to enact
legislation over there that will seri-
ously affect our export trade and in
directly our imports.

Punish the SUGAR Thieves.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mac.
Veagh, referring in his annual report
to the gigantic conspiracy to swindle
the government out of millions of dol.
lars by crooked work in the New
York custom house says: "It is clear
that the influence of local politics and
politicians upon the customs service
has bee most deleterious, and has
promoted that laXity and low tone
which prepare and furnish an inviting
soil for dishonesty and fraud"
Mr.. MacVeagh is a mild-mannered
man, and speaks gently. Yet he does
not hesitate to accuse politicians of
participation in the great sugar swim
die.
Customs officials, sugar trust off,
cials and politicians are plainly shown
to have conspired to defraud the peo-
pie of the United States out of i'm
port taxes that should have been paid.
The total of these thefts is stated to
have been $780, 00, 900.
The public will not be satisfied with
the dismissal and prosecution of a few
minor customs officials. They demand
he conviction of sugar trust heads
and politicians, and they look to the
Taft administration to punish the
thieves without delay.

ISSUE MADE CLEAR
SENATOR CLAPP ON DIVISION
AMONG REPUBLICANS.
He Practically Admits That the Ma
jority of His Party Are Champions
of MonopoIy-West viii
Take Notice.

The issue between the Republican
tariff insurgents and the reactionaries
has not been more clearly stated than
by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, in his
speech at Milwaukee. The recent
tariff struggle" said he. was in no
sense q struggle between protection
and free trade, but degenerated into
a struggle between monopoly on he
one hand and the true friends OF pro-
lection or the other"
Just now at the opening OF what
promises to be an excited session or
congress, it is we'll to bear this def
milton in mind. 1t will be remembered
hat Senator Cummins and the rest OF
the northwestern Republicans have all
along declared their allegiance to the
Republican principle Of protection.
Their objection has been only to the
excessive protection which gives the
protected interests a close monopoly
of American industry and clothes
them with undue power to exact bur
densome tribute from American con-
SumerS
lulS was, SUBSTANTIALLY,
Taft's position all through the presi-
Dental campaign of last year. 1t was
the tariff policy am%biguously promised
In the Chicago platform. On no other
platform could the Republican party
have won the great victory 1t did.
With full experience of the extortions
of monopoly tariff, as illustrated by
the Dingley act, the people of the
country, in both political parties, have
made up their minds that they will
not submit to private taxation levied
in the name of protection to American
industries.
The agricultural constituencies Of
the west were long deluded with the
cry that high protection was neces-
sary to make a home market for their
products. Finding that they have been
paying for this market vastly more
than it was worth to them, or than
was necessary in order to keep it, they
have gone into revolt against the sys-
tenn.
The revolt will not become less de-
termined than it has been in states
like Iowa and Minnesota for years, or
than it is now In practically every
state west Of the Alleghenies. From
the Republican viewpoint Senator
Clapp could not have stated the real |
issue more exactly than in saying
that. so far as the tariff Is concerned,
1t is to protect American industry, |
where it needs it, from foreign compe-
tition and at the same time to protect
the American consumer from the I'M
just exactions Of American monopoly.
