Damson Cheese

Stew the damsons in a very little
water without adding sugar. Pass
them through a sieve to remove their
skins and stones. To every pound of
the pulp OF the fruit put half pound
of the lump sugar broken small. Boil
them together till 1t becomes. quite
stiff. Pour 1t into four common-sized
dinner plates, rubbed with a little
sweet oil, and put 1t In a warm place
to dry. When quite firm take 1t from
the plate and cut into any shape you
choose.
Preserved Ounces
Ounces may be preserved either
whole or In quarters in this manner.
Having pared them very thin and
round (and cut into quarters if you
wish it). put them into a saucepan,
fill 1t with hard water and lay your
parings over your ounces to keep
them down. Cover your saucepan close,
that no steam may get out, and set
them over a slow fire till they be soft
and of a pink color. Then let them
stand till they be cold.
Make a good syrup of double refined
sugar. and boil and skim well. Then
put in your ounces; let them boil ten
minutes. Take them off and let them
stand for two or three hours. Lastly
boil them until the syrup looks thick,
and the ounces clear. Put into deep

The Tariff as a Local Question.

How local question the tariff is
has repeatedly been shown since 1880
and is now being shown. 1t is local to
Louisiana, where sugar is produced;
to South Carolina, where rice and sea
island cotton are produced; to Ala
bama and Tennessee, where coal and
iron ore are mined: to the west
where hides are a factor; to Texas,
where wool is a factor; to New Eng
land, where finished products of many
kinds are In evidence. Turn where
you may, and, 10, the tariff confronts
you. The tariff is like Charleys friend.
You can't lose it.
But out of the local question grows
the national question. as the nationsS
government grew out of the union of
the state governments. The states
compromised in order to establish a
needed national strength and au-
thority. No one Of them got all it de-
sired under the compact, but all were
benefited. Just so with the tariff adj
iusted to national needs No state
gets all it asks for in the shaping of
the schedules, but all get something
ard all are benefited. The local ques-
ton and the national question are
harmonized, and we have tariff cal
culated at once to raise revenue and
protect American labor against low
wages and deserving American indus
tries against destructive foreign COM
petition
The debate in congress opens prom
isingiy. There will be at least two
months of It, and the result should be
a measure fair alike to producer and
consumer, and compromise of their
conflicting desires

Quick Action Seems Likely.

There is a strong and general desire
i'm the business community to get the
new tariff schedules established as
soon as possible, to the end that com.
merce and industry may know ex-
actly where they stand. This feeling
is reflected by the pressure from the
White House which will be felt in fa-
vor of prompt action in both houses
of congress. Senators and represent
atives themselves, being desirous of
escaping from Washington as early as
circumstances may permit, with the
long session ahead next winter, will
be in the mood to compromise differ.

Held In Allowance.

The income tax proposition, it is
stated. will be held in allegiance pend
ing a short experience with the new
tariff law without it. If by next win
ter experience shows that more rev
enue is necessary, then congress will
be asked to find the money in that
quarter. A nine months discussion
of the subject should prove very inter
esting. A difference of opinion win
appear in both parties, and it would
be idle to speculate on the result at
this time.

Growth of Protection Sentiment.

Selt-interest quickens and enlarges
the intelligence. What is called the
pocket nerve is the same everywhere.
1t has neither sex, creed nor politics.
That protection which encourages
and builds up, making grass grow
where none grew before, and two
blades grow where only one grew
before. looks as good to the business
men of the south OF to-day as a free
trade proposition ever did to the
southern planters of 60 aud so years
ago. The cry has changed from the
greatest good to cne industry to the
greatest good to the greatest number
of industries. The south now has
many industries. And oven cotton
benefits from protection.

Few Strikinu Novelties in Bill.

1t cannot be said that the schedules
submitted in the Payne tariff bill con-
tain striking novelties. The most radi-
cal changes are in the tariff on iron
and steel and their products, on lum-
ber and wood pulp and paper, and on
chemicals and certain food staples,
such as tea, cocoa and lemons. Hides
go on the free list with iron ore. And
wood pulp-if from countries levying
no export tax. The changes in the
tariff on metals are almost all down
ward, as has been expected, but they
are not severe enough to revolution
ize industrial conditions in this coun-
try or cripple great American inter
ests. In iron and steel for example,
they have been discounted already.

LABOR MEN IN OPPOSITION
Steel Schedules Provided by
New Bill.

Opinion is beginning to crystalline
ON specific proposals of the tariff bill.
AS coming events cast their shadows
before, some of the more potent ex-
pressions of opinion, pro and con, may
serve to foreshadow the inevitable
notifications of the bill in the final
enactment.
To the wise provision for free hides
no opposition worth mentioning has
pretty well drilled into the public
mind that the real beneficiaries of this
burdensome duty on a raw material
this country is inadequately supplied
with are the packers, not the stock
men and farmers The packers are
abundantly able to thrive without this
duty on byproduct of their immense
industry which has the whip hand in
the worlds markets. The free hides
provision will be incorporated in the
new tariff law.
The provision in the bill threatened
now with the most powerful opposi-
tion is the deep cut in the steel and
element in this opposition is the or
ganiZed steel workers.
If President Burlington of the Illi-
nois Steel Company and Charles M.
Schwab are correct in their computa-
tions. and in their deduction there
from that this cut would necessitate
cut in steel wages to enable our manu-
facturers to compete against low for
eign labor cost, why, the proposed
schedule violates the principle of
schedule measure in the party plat
form.
The measure of legitimate protec-
tion is there stated to be approximate
ly the difference in cost of production
(mainly labor cost here and abroad.
A schedule that would compel
wages cut on the sheer comparative
labor cost proposition is not legiti-
mately protective schedule; and the
party is not committed by its platform
to any such Democratic folly.
That a tariff rate must at least be
amply sufficient to protect American
artisans in their American wages and
standard of living against the COM
petition in their own markets of the
products of foreign cheap labor is the
cardinal principle of the Republican
protectionist doctrine. 1t will be adj
hered to-
Whether the proposed cut in the
steel schedules violates this principle
remains to be demonstrated by the
men of facts and figures in the steel
business. How labor regards it is inn
pressively shown in the statement
just made by the officials of the Anal
gamated Steel and Iron Workers:
THE tariff bill presents so many
and drastic reductions in the iron and
steel schedule as to be viewed with
alarm by the workingmen employed
in those industries included in the
iron and steel schedule, and other in.

WILL CLEAR THE AIR
ONE GOOD THING TO COME FROM
PRESENT TARIFF DEBATE.
Will Put an End to Extravagances of
Party Orators in Discussing the
Question-Fairer Attitude
Must Follow.

Mr.. Underwood said in the house re-
Gently: Although we occasionally find
free trader within the ranks of the
Democratic party. the great rank and
file of the party do not favor the doc
trines of free trade"
For a full quarter of century our
public men, in discussing the tariff,
have dealt much in extravagances. In
some cases what was said was meant.
In other cases the discourses were col
ored to catch votes.
An orator advocating protective
tariff has often warned his hearers in
something like these terms: The Dem
ocratic party stands for free trade. It's
desire is to abolish all trade barriers,
and open American markets to all the
products of other countries without
condition. That means ruin for us.
Under such conditions many of our
industries would go to the wall, and
the wages of such of our laborers as
still held jobs would be reduced to
The protective tariff is a century old
We began with it. Our affairs are
socketed in it. To abolish or even
radically to change, it would bring
wholesale and widespread disaster"
An orator advocating a tariff for
revenue only has often said in effect;
The Republican party, if it dared
would build a Chinese wall around
trade in this country 1t would shut
out the foreigner entirely. II is the foe
of competition. 1t has created the
great trusts, and by them is managed
1t dare not touch the tariff in the way
of benefit to the great majority of the
people. In campaign years its Golfers
are filled with trust money; and thus
bought it stays bought when the tariff
is taken up for action. The only way
to increase our trade is to make it as
free as possible, and you must look to
the Democratic party for such action
Elect Democrat president, and give
him the support of Democratic CON
gress, and the tariff question will be
dealt with in way to bring it to a
strictly revenue basis. Protection is a
fraud in theory and in practice"
Mr.. Underwood declares that free
traders are not numerous in the Dem
ocratic party. Then there must be
many Democrats who accept in one
form or another the principle of protec-
ton. And that we all know to be true
Mr.. German demonstrated the fact Is
years ago and We see to-day Demo

neuvering to share in the protection
bill now under consideration in the
house
Are Chinese-wall Republicans more
numerous than free trade Democrats?
Probably not. At any rate they are
not in numbers in evidence now. The
Payne bill lacks a great deal of being
Chinese wall, and amendments which
would make it so would stand no
chance for adoption.
If the present tariff debate puts an
end to the old terms of the discussion
and brings out in clear lines the actual
attitude of the two parties on this most
important subject, we shall all have
reason to be thankful, and future dis
cussions will be the fairer and more
intelligent.

Working of the Proposed Tariff Law


The new tariff law should cheaper
materials for steam and street rail-
road building. 1t will surely tend to
prevent lumber and paper from ris-
ing, as they otherwise would, with the
cutting down of the forests. Boots
and shoes and all leather goods ought
to be either lower in price or better
in quality, or both. Coffee, remaining
on the free list, Will still further
strengthen its position relatively to
tea, which is to be taxed eight cents
a pound. The great and growing pop.
ularity of cocoa will hardly be
checked by the small increase in the
duty on that luxury. Textiles, pottery
and many finished products of iron and
steel remain little affected. Barley is
to pay half the present duty, while
beer is not touched.
