FOLK NOT A REPUBLICAN.

Some of the "Old Guard Demo
cratic editors ate now trying to prove
that Folk is and always was a Repub-
lican. Now, boys, don't be too mean.
Hit Republicans hard now and then,
but don't try to make your own party
stand before the world as having been
taken in by a Republican in Demo
cratic garb. Such an assertion is
equivalent to acknowledging, the ignor-
ance, stupidity and gullibility with
which your party has been charged by
some overly-zealous Republicans. The
Democratic party in Missouri has much
to repent of, but don't say that one of
its most illustrious leaders has been so
low down all this time as to assume
responsibility for the Democratic party
while Republican at heart and in
purpose. True it is that Folk has
some good qualities characteristic of
Republicans, but he is not Repub-
Ecan.

The Merits of Cement.

Twenty years ago one scarcely heard
of cement except in connection with
cistern making, but now we see it used
in buildings of all kinds, from poultry
houses to the sky-scraping Office build
ings. A sidewalk or a stable floor is
made right on the spot, made cheaper
and better than of brick or wood. For
the body or bottom Portland cement
is used with eight parts finely broken
stone to one part cement. For the
top or finishing coat one part cement
to two of clean gravel is the correct
proportion. Many failures are due to
the fact that the gravel used has been
mixed with loam or earth, and the
agree that successful job
cannot be made unless clean gravel is
used. Western Contractor.

STICK TO THE CONSTITUTION.

Southeast Missouri Democratic pa
pers are criticizing the governor for We
toing an appropriation of $4,000 for
building levees along the Black and
St. Francis rivers, a bill which the
governor declared unconstitutional. AS
Governor Hadley understands the con-
stitution of the state, and as his party
believes in sustaining its provisions,
no reasonable citizen can object to
that veto. A Democratic governor
might have closed one eye on the
constitution and opened wide the
other to see how many votes were in
volved before disposing of such bill,
but a Republican governor had to give
the constitution first consideration.

A VERY FOOLISH BOAST.
pecial CORES pordence.

The St. Clair County Democra
boasts that the "Old Guard Demo
Gratis reduced taxes in the state from
so cents on the 500 to II cents ane
gave one-third of the revenue to the
common schools. This is news-rare
news to intelligent people who know
what the state constitution provides
Under that instrument state taxes can
not be more than Is cents on the 500
assessed valuation, except by vote OF
the people, and one-third of the revenue
must be set aside for support of the
schools. The tax rate is now II cents
because the 'Old Guard" Democrats
fooled the people into voting D cents
additional to pay the annual interest
on certificates of indebtedness to the
school and seminary funds, which GER
tifcates were issued by Democratic
administrations in lieu of cash and in
terest-bearing securities in those funds,
which were converted to other and
illegal uses; and then they fooled the
dear people into adopting an amend
ment to the constitution making the
illegal diversion of the said cash and
securities legal. 1t was by diverting
cash and securities from the school
and seminary endowment funds that
the Democrats were enabled to pay
the debts of the state promptly with
out waiting for red tape, as the Os-
ceola paper claims. Any administra-
ton can pay state debts by using spe-
cial funds not accumulated for that
purpose. The Osceola editor seems
to be under the impression that the
"Old Guard Democrats made the
constitution else, like many of the
odd Guarders," he is unmindful of
that important fundamental law.

The new law should meet the wishes
of all those who favor substantial re-
| vision downward without sacrificing the
protection principal and imperiling
American industries. In specific cases
it should more than satisfy those who
were eager for revision downward.
In fact, in the opinion of many the
downward revision has been altogether
too drastic, and yet to meet the wishes
OF the President and of certain portions
of they country, the cut was made as
deeply as possible.
The increases, except upon articles
of luxury. are inconsiderable and in
significant. The maximum and mini
mum features of the bill show new
method of American tariff making, but
is in line with the tariffs of our prin-
cipal competitors, and it is thought will
serve to put us on a more equal plane
with other producing countries and
will enable us to get better terms in
their markets, as well as to maintain
our own volume of employment, our
own schedule of wages and our own
standard of living.
AS we know, at the outset, the new
law is not satisfactory to every one.
There were Republicans in both
Houses who voted against the bill, and
there were Democrats who voted for
it; but it is a Republican measure
framed after months of the most ardu-
Gus labor, and is, as tariff bill must
be, result of compromise of con-
ficting opinions. Perhaps never be-
fore in our history has President be-
come so closely identified with the max
ing of tariff law as did President Tat
with the law of 1909, and it would not
seem inappropriate to name the law
after the President and call it the Taft |
Tariff, and, as Mr.. Taft assumed the |
responsibility to large extent in franz
ing the bill in conference, or rather in |
upon many changes, so if its |
operation be successful, and it is be-
lieved it will be, he should have a |
large part of the credit.
1t is claimed and will be claimed by |
the Democrats that the average rates
under the new law will exceed those |
under the Dingley law; this, of course,
will be a matter to be determined by |
the importations, but using the i'm
portations of the past year the average
rate will vary but little; but in this
connection it must be considered that
where the duty has been largely in
creased, it has been upon articles of
luxuries and not articles of general con-
and for this reason the cry
Of higher prices, which was put forth

81 a Year in Advance.

| SO generously Dy Democratic sheets, is
entirely without warrant-in fact, it
may be said without fear of honest con-
tradiction that there is no article of
general consumption that should be
raised in price because of the new tariff,
while, on the contrary, if the tariff is
equal to the price, then scores and
hundreds and thousands of articles
should be reduced in price because OF
the lower duties found in this new law.
It would be impossible to enumerate
the articles so affected. We may
name only one or two as an illustration
or example. The IS per cent duty
upon certain grades of hides has been
repealed and hides are now on the free
list-not only that, but the duty upon
boots and shoes and other leather pro-
ductions has been most substantially
reduced, and it will now be up to the
manufacturers to give the people
cheaper footwear and cheaper harness
and cheaper leather products of all
kinds, or else most materially raise the
wages of their working men, or both.
If they do not do this, then the tariff
revision in the leather schedule will
be hostile to the best interest of the
American people. The same should
be true of all iron and steel products
and of manufactures of wood, and so
on, through the list
The Republican party has carried
out its pledge not only to revise the
tariff, but the pledges of its leaders to
revise it downward in the interest OF
the general consumer. The law goes
into operation at once, and before a
year has passed the American people
should reap the benefits that are to
come from it, and the Republican party
should then, in the elections of next
year, reap the reward that comes from
a fulflment of its pledges and from
legislation in the interest of the peo-
pie. There seems no doubt at present
that this will be the result. There is
every indication that we are on the
eve of most prosperous era, that in
few months every man who wants it
and is worthy of employment at the
American schedule of wages, will have
It; that our farmers will get liberal
prices for their splendid crops, and
hat our revenue will be sufficient to
meet the expenses of the Government.
Some idea of the extent of the dis
,ussions in the House and Senate in
with the Payne tariff bill is
set forth in statement prepared yes
erday by the official reporters.
At the special session of the Fifty
fifth Congress, up to the day OF the
ldoption of the conference report, the
debates on the Dingley bill amounted
o 2,527 pages of the Congressional
Record. The debates on the Payne
,ill up to yesterday morning reached
he enormous total of 1888 pages, or
',776,0oO words.

Washington Letter.

the Conference Report on the tarif
bill to the House of representatives
Mr.. Payne said:
We have revised the tariff anc
have taken off unnecessary duties, moi
all along the line, but in our revision
of the tariff we have revised the tariff
downward, and yet we have held the
scales so evenly that we have done no
injury to any workman in the United
States, to any farm or any factory, to
any mine or citizen of the United
States.''
Mr.. Payne concluded his remarks as
follows:
Let us start the remaining idle
wheels of industry; let US put every
man who wants to work; let us build
up the happy homes in the United
States as they will be,
and they will bring the great
paeans of their applause for your pat
riotism and craftsmanship in meeting
this emergency"
These remarks, in brief, cover the
history of the making of the tariff of
1909, and the results as embodied in
the completed bill.
In the first place it was recognized
that the bill must bring increased
revenue to the Government, and it is
estimated that this increase will amount
to at least forty millions of dollars, al
though this sum may not be equaled,
or on the contrary it may be exceeded.
according to the operation of the new
law and to the conditions of Industrial
activity
1t is quite possible, however, that
the large increase expected may not
come wholly from an increase of inn
portations, but rather from a truer valu-
alton of imports than has been the
case for many years. This will be due
to the establishment of the new Gus
toms Court, which will see to it that
valuations are in accordance with the
provisions of the bill.
Regarding the increase and reduc-
tions of the new bill it was shown by
Mr.. Payne by tabulated figures that in
the consumption value of articles on
which rates of duty have been increased
and decreased, where the amount cf
production can be ascertained, the |
duty was decreased upon articles of
consumption amounting in value to
about five billions of dollars, while the
duty was increased upon articles of
to the value of about eight |
hundred and fifty millions of dollars.
Of these increases nearly six hundred |
millions were upon luxuries or articles
of strictly voluntary use. While the
increases which were not upon articles
of luxuries amounted to about two
hundred and seventy millions of dol
lars.
Going somewhat more into details as
regards the changes in the new law, it
will be found that the principal in
creases and decreases are as follows:
Iron ore reduced from 40 to IS
cents ton.
Pig iron reduced from 81 to $3.50
a ton.
Scrap iron reduced from 81 to 81
ton.
Steel rails, so per cent reduction.
Rough lumber reduced from 50 to
SIPS a thousand feet.
Wool, no change of consequence.
Cotton, slight increase.
Gloves, present rates maintained.
Silk, slight increase in average duty.
Oilcloth and linoleum, much re-
duced.
Flax, hemp and jute, about as at
present.
Sugar and tobacco, about as at pres
ent, with free admission of both from
Philippines.
Spirits, wines and liquors, IS per
cent increase.
Hops, increase from II to 16 cents
a pound.
Window glass, reduced rates.
