IS COSTLY POLICY
PEOPLE PAY HIGH PRICE FOR
PROTECTION.
Wall Street Journal Points Out the
Chain Of Evils That Has Fol.
lowed in Its Wake-Fosters
Privilege.

While it is not difficult to name a
number of things and several thou
sand persons of which and whom the
New York Sun disapproves, it is hard
to find anything which has its abso-
Lutte indorsement II is true that at
times it has seemed to dislike our di-
vinely inspired tariff. but it has al.
ways disapproved still more of any
body who tried to get it reduced. It
is, therefore. with gratitude that the
following editorial comment Is re-
printed:
"Is there any part of the business
Of importing that is free from graft?
1t there any graft in any part of
the business of importing that is not
extortionary on the part of the sworn
servants of the United States treas
ury? II there any ship that comes
into our docks that can be unloaded
without graft, the same payable to an
official of the United States treasury?
Does not the bulk of all demurrage
charges on our water front depend
for its mitigation upon the liberal
payment of CRAFTS to somebody repre-
senting the United States of Amer.
ica?"
This is not the worst of it, and the
evils the Sun points out are among
the least of those which we have vol.
UNFAIRLY brought upon ourselves The
great evil is the terrible deterioration
in the quality of what we produce,
with the consequent degeneration of
the worker who produces it, Ten
years ago the Dingley tariff had been
In operation for only a short time. All
the protection that it could give had
doubtless been appreciated, but its de-
moralizing power had not been real

any man will consider any article OF
attire. say his suspenders, and ask
himself how much longer they lasted
at the same price 10 years ago, he
will get an idea OF what the tariff has

This is not to say that the prin-
ciple of protection is bad, but to point
out how inevitably it has become cor
rupted. with the results which the
Sun acknowledges What it has done
in the way of debauching our legisla-
tors at Washington no words can tell,
and the grim fact still TO face is that
the evil increases as the years go on.
Already our tariff is embroiling US

of all, 1t is building up between the

THE SHORTAGE OF REVENUE
Enormous Amount, and Country Is
Operating Under BEST Tariff
Law Ever Passed"

Notwithstanding the fact that the
country Is now operating under what
has been called by high authority the
best tariff law that was ever passed,
the treasury experts estimate the
dehcit for the fiscal year at s120,000,-
600. OF course, this situation is large

Senator Aldrich. If this same Aldrich
bill Is not going to pull us out of the
slough of debt despond and is not
even going to keep up our current ex-
penses for us, what is It going to do?
To be sure the day and the deficit
may be saved for the standpatters by
the corporation tax, but even that is
problematical No one has been able
to make anything like an accurate es-
innate of the amount of money II will
bring into the treasury; and, for that
matter it is yet doubtful whether it
is going to bring any money at all. II
Is inevitable that the courts should
have something to say about this tax,

lures which 1t can not avoid. II is not
a pleasant thought for the administra.
tion, nor do the people view the situ-
alton complacently, but another bond
issue appears to be looming pretty
definitely In the not distant future.
All of which makes some people won
der how so shrewd a man and able
a statesman as Senator Aldrich could
have made such a mistake, and con.
firms others in the suspicion which
they have held ever since the bill was
under consideration. that the bill, re-

serving the purpose for which It was
originally intended.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-

Because OF this fact there is a con-

Quaker Oats; every time the strength

been tested by scientific investigation

THANKSGIVING DAY
Csnsds's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear.
iier Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side OF the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do. II may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded note OF warning, or II may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
olared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. It may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do

so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They

areas of prairie land have yielded in

reason OF any OF the provinces to ex-

their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving TO Providence
This year has surpassed all others In
so far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth Is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi

was nothing TO interfere. And now 1t

THE whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep.
tion of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling Is combined with spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful land. The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten,
